nv driver in Xorg 6.8.2 under FC4




I'm using the Xorg nv driver with my Albatron 6600GT card
for a while because I upgraded the kernel and didn't want
to reinstall the closed nvidia driver for it because I'm
installing FC5 soon anyway.

I'm noticing that the Xorg nv still has a problem where if you use
KDE for a while the whole screen goes corrupted and the
only work around is to toggle to a virtual console session
with Alt+ctrl+F{1-6} and then back to the X console at
Alt+ctrl+F7. Then it's ok for a while but the corruption
returns eventually.

I'm completely up to date via yum for xorg, is it possible this
driver is still this bad? nv was doing this when I first installed
FC months ago. Is this some kind of backing store problem?
