Hello!

It seems that nvidia version 550 is responsible for slow scrolling and 
slow keyboard reacting when using FF.

Maybe my M1200 is too old.

I have now done a

sudo pkg freeze -c NVIDIA_STICK_TO_535 
pkg://openindiana.org/driver/graphics/nvidia@535.154.5-2024.0.0.0:20240117T165319Z

and a pkg update.

I am on

$ uname -a
SunOS dell7720 5.11 illumos-06543c9535 i86pc i386 i86pc

$ beadm list
BE                     Active Mountpoint Space   Policy Created

openindiana-2024:02:28 -      -          3.29G   static 2024-02-28 07:02
openindiana-2024:03:01 NR     /          105.50G static 2024-03-01 12:27

.. and the GUI is fine now.


Does anyone else had similar problems with nvidia in version 550?

Regards,
Stephan
