NVidia drivers in KDE
 

Hi,

Recently my home PC (running an up-to-date Debian Testing) got slower
and slower. As usual, I suspect the nVidia drivers. Probably the
single worst performer is Google Chrome (installed from Google
repository), where changing tabs takes about 2 seconds. Does anyone
have similar issues? What would be a workaround to fix them?

My laptop with Intel graphics works perfectly fine.

Regards,
Grzes

Hi,

Marco,
I did the change, but I haven't observed any difference...

Marek,
I can confirm that it does work for Chrome.... but it breaks Iceweasel
(the performance drops in a very similar level to Chrome at different
settings)

Do you know if all nVidia cards have these issues? I was planning to
upgrade, but the situation makes me wonder if it is worth sticking
with nVidia...

Regards,
Grzes

As nobody seems to know whether it's a cairo bug, nvidia driver bug or
something else, nobody can tell you which configurations are affected, but
downgrading cairo to 1.10 semms to fix the problem for everyone.

Well, I have been using radeon boards for some years now. As I don't do games
nor very special things, in the long time I have a very nice experience.

In other words, I have ditched NVidia for the radeons with FLOSS drivers.

Hi,

What is the best way to downgrade cairo? I can't see a single cairo
package and the old version doesn't seem to be in the repos any way...

Cheers,
Grzegorz

Try new drivers (304.30-1) in experimental.
