I have compiled it and nothing changed But the problem of 180.08 with fonts seems to be fixed in 180.11. At least something...

I can confirm, no problems with 180.11.

Just did a fresh install of Kubuntu 8.10 and added the KDE 4.2 beta 1 experimental repo and also installed nvidia 180.11, performance is much better with no obvious issues noticed so far.

(my first post!)

180.06+ fixed it for me and 2-3x the speed.

180.11 fixes some more problems, so perhaps better upgrade.

fyi - today a 180.16 driver was released

Downloading...

EDIT: Kwin's compositing has no more glitches, but Dolphin is still laggy.

I have been following without luck the progress of the 180.* driver. I'm now at version 180.18. Like many other people, I am unable to launch successfully into my X server with this. For now, I'm back with 177.82. With choppy resizing, and slooow scrolling. I don't think anyone points the finger at the KDE team though. It's those closed source fiends over at NVidia!

I decided that I put my thoughts on paper. I did, and it made me feel just a little better. Please check it out, it's mainly about the nvidia + kde4 story.

Here's the link:
NVidia GForce, not KForce

Thanks very much, and leave comments if you feel inclined to do so!

I have the same feeling about NVidia. I plan to build a new computer (amd64 finally) and I was even thinking about buying ATI card, but seems to me ATI drivers are still even worse. As NVidia has a big problem with KDE4 I am thinking about staying with KDE 3.5.10 which makes me sad as KDE 4.2 will be definitely great. The first KDE4 which will be ready for everyday work

New stable NVidia driver 180.22 has been released

thanks for the info.

Is there anyone tried 180.22 and likes to share? I am running Kubuntu 8.10 kde4.2rc and it still feels a little bit not as responsive as comparing to gnome. I didn't benchmark it, but it does feel sharper than before.

180.22 is nice and stable.

And what about tray icons? Are the glitches away on your installation?
I still have it there, it is awful

I use Nvidia 8600GT and the latest driver - 180.22 on
Ubuntu ( Kde 4.2 Beta )

Here is what my desktop looks like.



It doesn't have any glitches at system tray. What does yours look like?
