I have the same problem with KDE with nvidia drivers - it seems worse<br>
with the latest ones from rpmfusion, and worse in 4.5 compared to<br>
4.4. (Not sure when the change came in, first betas of 4.5 seemed<br>
fine).<br>
<br>
There are a bunch of bug reports already (eg<br>
<a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234463" target="_blank">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234463</a>) - though there seem to be<br>
multiple issues and a lot of noise in the bug reports. For me, turning<br>
off the blur effect helps, but not much. On my laptop I have switched<br>
to gnome for the moment as it gives me approx 50% more battery life in<br>
normal use (OO Word + calc, kmail, firefox, amarok, R etc) than same<br>
apps under kde. KDE apps under gnome are a pain though (you have to<br>
start kmail twice to get akonadi running first, super slow scrolling<br>
in akregator etc etc).<br>
<br>
Nouveau didn't work well for me last time I tried, but will probably<br>
make the jump to F14 and try again sometime soon.<br>
<br>
sorry!<br>
