The title pretty much sums it up , Ever since I updated to 295.40 . The previous driver 295.33 was working fine . Problems Using XBMC , Wine , Assaultcube or anything with uses Open GL . The two machines that are affected have the same hardware ( Nvidia 6200 pci) . Let me know if any of you are having similar issues . I will continue to work on this for a couple of hours . Thanks .

I'm also having xbmc trouble after upgrading, with a GeForce GTX 560. It closes shortly after launching.

I have NVIDIA GeForce 6100 integrated on motherboard graphics and since 295.40 update the mame emulator for linux - sdlmame (which uses Open GL) works extremely slowly. I downgraded Nvidia drivers to 295.33 ind it works fine now.

It looks like there are others that are having the same issue with 295.40 ..... http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=128705

I have the same problem with the same chipset as preceding posts.
I had also to downgrade to 295.33 driver.
Can someone signals the regression in performance to Nvidia.
I cannot presently, I'm not at home for some days.
Thanks.

Yep 295.40-2 broke my gnome too, I had to downgrade to 295.33 luckily it was still in cache. This means downgrading kernel too...
On a laptop with a 6150.

No the 295.33 nvidia driver was built for current linux 3.3.1.1 kernel and still works with it.
But it requires to reboot before using it; or to run under root:
modprobe -r nvidia && modprobe nvidia
before launching the GUI.

Also have problem with 295.40, fixed by downgrading to 295.33 as everyone else. Got really bad performance with the new drivers, running 8800GTS 640MB.

Same issue Geforce 8800GTS, should be driver related problem Thanks for tip

As I wrote in the other thread, the main point of 295.40 is to fix security vulnerabilities. So if you want to use older versions, at least patch them: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=178006

Yeah sorry, it was virtualbox that was complaining.

If I have 295.33 installed and run "pacman -Sy linux" I get an error response "nvidia requires linux<3.3". So this nvidia driver doesn't seem to be built for kernel 3.3 - or am I wrong?

Create your own nvidia package. And patch it!

@Dieter: You need the rebuilt 295.33-2 package version which has:
depends=('linux>=3.3' 'linux<3.4' "nvidia-utils=${pkgver}")
as dependencies line in PKGBUILD.
not the 295.33-1 version with:
depends=('linux>=3.2' 'linux<3.3' "nvidia-utils=${pkgver}")
Concerning the available patch, I don't think this is a good solution to need to keep an older version from now on.
I think there is a bug in the new driver release for the chipsets which are supposed to work with the current nvidia driver and don't now with unusable opengl performances. I think a bug has to be opened in nvidia bug tracker for them to correct that.

Same here...
glxgears runs very slow, no direct rendering?

Same here. I updated my htpc from nvidia-290.10-2 to nvidia-295.40 and I'm currently experiencing choppy video playback in xmbc.
Offline
My issued was solved by upgrading to kernel linux 3.3.2-1, Nvidia 295.40 now working fine on my system.
Edit, ignore my previous statement, now my games launch, but the FPS/overall performance is terrible.

Tried upgrading the nvidia package after upgrading linux to 3.3.2 but with no success, it still freezes…

Tried to patch 295.33, successfully (making a 295.33-3 package to stay clean), but had the same failures and freezes. Looks like the problem we are experiencing is caused by the security fix…

That's just awesome...
You speak of freezes though, that's new. All other people have performance issues, not freezes. Do you by any chance use pcie_aspm=force?
Offline
I'm running compiz 0.8 standalone, with all packages up to date (except for the nvidia driver), on a 8800 GTS.
I'm calling them freezes, but it's the system hanging, then I can resume activities, although everything is still slow. It could be very important performance issues (as my compiz desktop uses a lot of effects with shaders etc…).
I have a stack trace for xorg showing issues with glx.
I don't use pcie_aspm=force, only ro, fastboot and quiet.

Same here. With 295.40 Kwin compositing is unusable on GeForce 7100/nForce 630i.

PS. Do we really need multiple threads for this? Perhaps mods should lock the other threads, it'd make things simpler if all info is contained in one thread.
