[Bug 13530] Re: nvidia-glx crashes/lockups

[Emmet Hikory]

It's not GNOME generally, so much as the XRender Cairo backend.  The
NVidia driver seems to have trouble with power management when switching
between (or simultaneously using) XRender and OpenGL.  If one of these
is avoided, there are no issues.  Note that many users report more
success when using a GL-based desktop, perhaps indicating the problem is
with context swtiching between 2D and 3D acceleration.  I'm sure that
other major users of XRender along with OpenGL have the same issue (on
nvnews.net, this issue has also been reported with KDE).
