After upgrade to 4.6.2, kde freezes on login from kdm

2011-05-15 Thread Marcos Raúl Carot Collins
I noticed this happening in testing too, and it was due to an upgrade in the NVIDIA proprietary driver to version 270. Using the "Legacy GPU version (173.14.xx)" works again. I don't know if the problem is actually in the 270 driver or something between it and KDM (as I said it also happens in 4.4

Just a guess: maybe you should try it without alsa and / or NVidia kerneldrivers, and with the standard XFree nvidia X driver. And, isn't it possible, that your linux isn't freezing, maybe it is..ehm. waiting for something? (device, etc). Try waiting a few minutes, telneting from other host, runnin
