Comment 62 for bug 760632

Same problem here... Brand new installation of Kubuntu, resized konsole and wham, total system freeze... If I disable transparency, the system does not freeze, but results in strange artifacts all over the screen...

Also, on a side note, I would to add that it's a shame to see so many people trashing nvidia on this bug report... No other gfx manufacturer has provided Linux support for as long as nvidia has. And no other gfx card manufacturer's product works as well with Linux as theirs... No, they are not perfect and they can probably do better, but at least they actually DO provide a pretty decent driver.

outside of this issue, I can't remember the last time I had an issue with the nvidia driver, and that's pretty darn good!
