[mythtv-users] KDE startup freeze with nvidia-graphics4363

[john lawler]

This happened to me when I was trying to use KDE (now I'm using 
Fluxbox--it's much better for my purposes).  The way I solved it (using 
4363) was to remove one of these two options from XF86Config (I don't 
recall which--but it was only one of them, not both):

	Option	"RenderAccel" "1"
	Option	"NvAGP" "1"

(I *think* it was RenderAccel, but like I said, I'm not positive, try 
that first).  I just commented out the offending option and then KDE 
would start fine.  Interestingly enough, the other (lighter, generally) 
windowmanagers don't seem to have this problem.

Good luck.
