Please see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185909

In the upcoming 0.10.0 release of Digikam for KDE4 there happen crashes using the (precompiled) driver 180.29 for OpenSUSE 11.1 from repository
http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.1/ .
This driver was compiled with the current kernel I use.

Using the (self-compiled) prerelease driver 180.37 the crash does no longer occur.
In common, this is a good news and I'm happy about this

. Nevertheless, I'd like to know the reason, may be the distributor more than me.

Does anyone know in detail, which fix against the current stable driver 180.29 might cover this? Or is there a possibility to have this solved by self-compiling?

BTW: I'm the reporter of this issue at the KDE bugtracker, so see details about my graphics hardware actually there.
