First, thanks for looking at this. I will be very surprised if permissions are involved, because I'm using the same scripts (different xorg video drivers, and the intel-specific va only on intel) on haswell (broken), radeon (ok), amdgpu (ok until I use the slider to scroll forward or back). ĸen -- Juliet's version of cleanliness was next to godliness, which was to say it was erratic, past all understanding and was seldom seen. -- Unseen Academicals -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
