Strange kde 4.2 performance issue.

[opensourcederry]

Hi all,

I have noticed something strange with Kubuntu 8.10 running KDE 4.2

Say I click on the firefox icon to open the program. While the window is opening the initial window appears and for a split second the area within the window is full of what appears to be 'chopped up graphics'

The best way to describe it is almost like a bad tv picture with interference.

It's not a world ending problem but annoying. I have a Dual Core Intel e2180 machine with 2gb ram and an nvidia 8500 graphics card with 512mb ram so I don't think the machine is an issue.

Any ideas?

cheers

Sometimes I get that too. I assume that it is the firefox window not being drawn correctly as it starts up. I don't have this problem with kde apps. I generally just ignore it, and hope the devs clean it up in an upcoming update.

That's it. Upgraded my nvidia drive from 177 to 180 and it's now fixed.
