(Solved) Random freezes on new KDE 13.37 64-bit system.

Yes. Nouveau will conflict with the proprietary driver.

Thanks. I also get prompted about installing Nvidia's 32-bit compatibility OpenGL libraries on a 64-bit system. Yes? No?

I finally found an answer to this question here:

Edit:
The problem I have now is to figure out if I am using the NVIDIA driver. How do I check that?

Code: Select all

$ glxinfo | grep renderer

should show whether you're using the nVidia blob.

Doesn't matter unless you have a multilib setup, which you don't if you don't know it.

Odd, I just get the following:

Code: Select all

$ glxinfo | grep renderer
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 220/PCIe/SSE2

The following seems to give me the answer, just would have been nice with a shorter output

Code: Select all

# lspci -k
