["Steven A. Falco" <stevenfalco@xxxxxxxxx>]

A little more info.  My KiCad build works fine on my laptop, which has both an Intel and Nvidia graphics chip on its motherboard.  The Nvidia framebuffer device is using the nouveau driver.

In contrast, my desktop machine has to use an official driver supplied by Nvidia, rather than nouveau, because nouveau doesn't work well with the GeForce 210 video card in my desktop machine.

It may be that there is an incompatibility between KiCad and the Nvidia driver, at least as it pertains to my hardware.

One last thing - KiCad 4.0.7 works fine on my desktop, with the Nvidia driver.

I'll keep experimenting, but I'm not sure what to try next.  So far, in all other respects, I don't see a problem with the Nvidia driver.
