[SOLVED] onboard Video card issues geforce 6100 kde4

[halgol60]

I have the nv 6150 on board video and am unable to use KDE since 2010 finale . No distro with KDE will run on this ,,,thing , I use Xfce and it is normal. No slot to install a video card *&*^%$

Chuck (and anyone else having a similar-sounding problem):

What is the make and model of your mainboard?  Please post it to the thread http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,76877.15.html.  Thanks.

The nVidia driver uses hardware mouse excelleration, during install it checked  for existing mouse.
Maybe you can change /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual.
I have two configs, one made by the new setups, one copied from an older setup.
Priny out and look for the differences see  -- Section "Monitor" --  and  -- Section "Screen" --
If you copy some parts to your xorg.conf (as root) don't forget to remove settings not supported by your monitor.

Well, the update to kde 4.5 appears to have fixed this quirky little bug.

I have been using firefox, thunderbird, and many other programs that previously crashed my system, with success.
