Recent nvidia drivers cause several odd and seemingly unrelated problems in a couple of applications, including compile failures, hangs and other unexpected behaviour. Related bugs are: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487558 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487700 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488332 These are also present in the most recent driver 331.20 which now officially supports recent kernels, so no user patches / unsupported software is in use. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a system with nvidia 2. Install a recent driver (e.g. 331.20) 3. Try to start, as an example, akonadi (the KDE PIM suit needs it) Actual Results: Several applications misbehave in odd ways Expected Results: Everything works as expected or as when downgrading drivers (325.15 seems to be fine) fuchs@foxpad ~ % emerge --info Portage 2.2.7 (default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde, gcc-4.7.3, glibc-2.17, 3.12.0-gentoo x86_64)

bug" for this issue and link all related bug reports that would be great. Thanks in advance for investigating / forwarding to upstream if needed / fixing
