Step 1 when debugging is to remove those things that have proven problematic in the past and retry. Do not assume this step, do it and check. If I could tell you the number of times I've had to discipilne people who thought they knew better on this point.... -O3 is known to cause deep changes in the compiled code compared to -O2, it's not an optimization here and there, the differences are quite substantial and can involve completely different code paths. If the source is not written with -O3 in mind, you can get odd bugs. KDE4 is unstable for a very good reason - it is not known to work always and stably. Compiz and composition in general is still a moving target, not always fully supported by the hardware or the drivers. I could give many more examples, but theperson you replied to seems to know what he's talking about. My advice is that you listen to him and start taking a methodical approach to solving your problem. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
