I noticed something on mine when I did that. I was actually doing the
command in a Konsole. It seemed to mess up again later on. It got
REALLY slow. I decided to do things differently. I logged out of
KDE, went to single user mode, typed in the command to set opengl to
nvidia, then went back to default runlevel and logged in. It worked
fine and has ever since. I have logged out several times, been
experimenting with fluxbox, and it is still fast as it was. So, it
may be best to run that when logged out of a GUI at least but I went
to single user just to be certain. I would think that stopping xdm
would work just as well but one never knows about these things.
Maybe that will help. Never hurts to hope.

This is getting weird. I haven't rebooted in a few weeks now. I tried
to watch a video a bit ago and it was slow again. It was down to about
2 or 3 frames per second. It is awful. If I go tell it to switch to
opengl, it gets fast again but after a while it will go back to being
really slow. Why do I have to keep telling it to use nvidia's opengl
when it says it is using it and I have switched to a few times? If it
is using it, why does it slow down until I tell it to switch?
I did do a huge KDE upgrade the other day. I don't recall seeing
anything else X related being updated but I could have missed something
in that LONG list. I did do a baselayout upgrade and portage itself has
been upgraded a few times.
Any ideas on why this thing keeps doing this? Would a reboot even help
in this situation?
