    [solved] upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 KDE would not work with Nvidia driver

    I upgraded to Ibex and my system was stricken after I logged in. KDE would take 5 minutes to respond to a mouse click, and I never actually successfully typed anything. Windows would appear blank, or with static, or just never appear. I used Envy from a text console to uninstall stuff, KDE came back to life, but at the wrong resolution for my monitor. Reinstall Nvidia driver, KDE glacial again. The Gnome desktop was fine (but those desktop icons are clunky...).

    Solution? Blow away ~/.kde, ~/.kdef, and ~/.kderc. Something in there from KDE 3.5 severely tangled KDE 4.1.

    Aargh - spoke too soon. KDE 4 has stopped working with the Nvidia driver again.
    Regards, John Little
