I have an nVidia 8600GT card with Kubuntu 8.04 and KDE 4 yet I don't experience those problems. I did use Envy to install my video drivers, perhaps that's what is missing. It's refreshing to see some people with a sense of humour though. :) That’s funny. I have an nVidia 8600GT card with Kubuntu 8.04 and KDE 4 yet I don’t experience those problems.

As far as I get it is new Qt problem. They just don't want to tweak Qt for nvidia. Instead of that they want nvidia to tweak for Qt. It is funny.. well, no, it is not. Btw I respect Trolls and KDE and Nvidia. But here just common issue, programmers always face up different problems and then they can choose the other way or ignore it. KDE and Qt ignore the problem.

I'm guessing your configuration just changed enough between Gentoo and Kubuntu that it revealed the problem. It is a nVidia issue though.

I was using gentoo for 3 years and was using kde4 with it until may/2008. And I have no artifacts or slow drawings with closed source dirvers. After that I jumped to kubuntu 8.04. And now (and problem seems to appear only in kde4) every popup menu etc. redraws slow with ugly black background while animation. So it is either distribution specific problem or kde4 on ubuntu specific problem. Stop rushing on nVidia ;) Actualy, I don’t think it the reason is in nVidia cards or, either, nVidia drivers.

And you support AMD to stay on market so the Intel and nVidia ain't going to rule the market what leads that prices goes up and quality/development goes down. Currently AMD has fastest card again... and drivers seems to be in better shape now for over a year. I have desktop PC a 8600GT OC and laptop a AMD x1700 and AMD is much better with Compiz or Kwin :-) Actually you should go and buy a AMD’s 3D card so you get change to test open source drivers then.
