Re: Using ctrl-alt-F# keys crashes X (not KDE); Would like to know if it is reproducable for you.

[snipped]

I need to try non-NVIDIA driver and reproduce this issue. Maybe it IS NVIDIA. If it is, then I need to report it to NVIDIA at: linux-bugs@xxxxxxxxxx and http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14 ...

OK... I am starting to think this is NVIDIA's fault. I went back to nv driver by renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf and run startx. I tried to reproduce the problem and no crash with gkrellm-hdplop plugin! I am going to report this to NVIDIA via e-mail and the forum.

Is it me or is NVIDIA driver getting buggy in Linux like in Windows? :(
