Bug Description
I will attach the file.
It crashed when I selected a text field in KDM.
or, launched a kde program (kde loaded if I logged in as the user I was in as.
GDM did not crash..
twm, and fvwm both would not load at all.
xfce loaded ok.
I used the nvidia-control panel to set up twinview. (I have two monitors)
I used disper to turn off my screen repeatedly so I could play starcraft., and had to enable it in the nvidia-control panel.
of note, I was installing some language packs, scim, and ibus for chinese.
I have fancy usb keyboard that has a hub in it... and off that I have an old saitek gm2 gamer control and mouse.
My X crashed, even at the display manager level, so this is pretty whacked.
I had origionally thought it was a problem with my backports kde 4.8.
I am running kubuntu 11.10 started from an xubuntu install.
I have an nvidia gt240 on a sempron140
moving the xorg.conf and letting x create a new one/detect it's own settings let it work.
unity (blech) had a few artificats when it came up, so I thought I might have corrupted video memory (I did a full system memory test, and it passed) But there is apperantly no way to test my videocard memory, and it works rock solid all the rest of the time.
