Thanks for getting me to try the driver again, it's working with
xrender, but sddm is being weird, it's losing mouse focus, I have to
click in the box to enter my password, I didn't have to do that with
the debian driver.
At the moment I have a Radeon HD 8670D card in my PC. Also I need to
click to enter a password.
I believe (1) this behaviour should not depend on the driver and (2)
this is the default behaviour of SDDM
Yes you are right it should have nothing to do with the driver you have
installed, but since testing plasma it has so far been the case, there
is a big difference if you have the 'Nouveau' or 'Nvidia' driver
installed with the Nouveau driver SDDM dose not lose focus and I do not
have to click in the box to enter my password, this I have tested on 2
Stretch and my other Sid system and loosing mouse focus has not been a
problem with SDDM, I have 4 upstream plasma systems. Currently I'm going
to keep the Nvidia Driver installed on the one Sid system because
outside of loosing focus on SDDM it other wise seems to be working, but
I need to spend more time with it.
I'm already back to using the nouveau driver..The Nvidia driver or the
Debian Nvidia driver do not work with the new kernel, on the plus side
SDDM is now working and not loosing focus. Plasma still crashes for no
apparent reason.
