Though this is likely a bug in the nvidia driver, you could check whether it derives from high resource (pixmap) usage (as gimp+digikam+composited(?!) kwin could induce) start "xrestop" and have a look at the (rising) pixmap allocations and where they source. If you've got some sort of shared memory GPU it could also be nvidias pixmap cache which is known to flood (caused by sth. in kdelibs...) in this case calling nvidia-settings -a PixmapCache=0; nvidia-settings -a PixmapCache=1 from time to time resets (and frees) the cache (also providing speed improvements) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
