With Desktop Effects on I get random freezes, but I also get times when the mouse can move the cursor around, but neither mouse-clicks or keyboard usage is registered. This has happened throughout, so I don't think that it's kernel-specific, but I do think that it is probably related to what you are both seeing. </blockquote><div> I was using kernel 134 until yesterday. Therefore it is not because of kernel159. The problem is the new Intel acceleration method that is being used by F10/X (EXA). In fact, I just wanted a transparent terminal in KDE. I do not need all the "Desktop Effects" stuff. I also notice, when I use mplayer with the SLD driver, the video (I mean a movie) stops all the time. Then I changed to opengl, and the window gets garbaged when maximizing/minimizing. Using the ol' good Xv is the only option that works fine for me. For the first time in my life I am not using a nvidia card with the closed driver. I think I am just being unlucky. If a fix does not come soon, I will install one of my nvidia 7600 or 8500 cards, and forget about the Intel onboard card graphics once for all. </div></div> -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
