Re: [gentoo-user] Fwd: Update of mozilla products (firefox, thunderbird, seamonkey) gone bad...
If anyone else encounters this, I've found a solution to my problems: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI_Catalyst#Catalyst_10.6.2F10.7_:_black.2Fgrey.2Fwhite_boxes.2Fartifacts_in_firefox.2Fthunderbird http://phoronix.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-24323.html Apparently it's the new 2D acceleration scheme that's buggy...

Well, it is working now on one machine, but I need TV-Out, and I have temporarily given up on finding out what's wrong there, and stick to old kernel, old X and old ati-drivers that still support this old card. On my main computer, radeon drivers get better and better. That is, X now starts, it even does 3D acceleration now, but it crashes when I move the mouse pointer onto the KDE4 panel. Ok, good to know. Thanks to all who replied! Best regards Peter K
[gentoo-user] Fwd: Update of mozilla products (firefox, thunderbird, seamonkey) gone bad...
(seems like this message got lost somehow...) Hi! Yesterday I got an update of said apps (firefox, thunderbird, seamonkey) so I updated them (see list of version and possibly related parts below). Now all of them exhibit a strange phenomenon: Often, the window, or parts thereof are not redrawn, just cleared, which makes it hard to see web pages and mail. In order to force a redraw I have to resize the app, which is annoying. I run the latest ati binary ati-drivers-10.6 which ran fine with the previous versions, so I don't think that's the problem. Does anyone else see this problem or know the solution? It's only firefox, seamonkey and thunderbird that exhibits this problem. x11-libs:cairo-1.8.10:20100723-161942.log x11-plugins:enigmail-1.1.2-r1:20100723-172804.log www-client:mozilla-firefox-3.6.7:20100723-165946.log www-client:seamonkey-2.0.6:20100723-165841.log xulrunner-1.9.2.7-r1:20100723-163329.log mail-client:thunderbird-3.1.1:20100723-172616.log Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/x86/10.0, gcc-4.4.3, glibc-2.11.2-r0, 2.6.34-gentoo-r2_SMP_PREEMPT_100717 i686) = System uname: linux-2.6.34-gentoo-r2_smp_preempt_100717-i686-intel-r-_core-tm-2_quad_cpu_q95...@_2.83ghz-with-gentoo-1.12.13 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 24 Jul 2010 09:45:02 + app-shells/bash: 4.0_p37 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11 dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r2 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.13 sys-apps/sandbox:1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r4, 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.3-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86 ACCEPT_LICENSE=* -...@eula dlj-1.1 sun-bcla-java-vm CBUILD=i686-pc-linux-gnu CFLAGS=-O2 -march=nocona -pipe -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu CONFIG_PROTECT=/etc /etc/X11/app-defaults/ /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/applications/ /var/lib/hsqldb CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK=/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c CXXFLAGS=-O2 -march=nocona -pipe -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks DISTDIR=/usr/portage/distfiles FEATURES=assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch GENTOO_MIRRORS=http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ ftp://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ http://ds.thn.htu.se/linux/gentoo http://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo ftp://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo http://mirror.pudas.net/gentoo http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo; LANG=en_US.utf8 LDFLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed LINGUAS=en sv en_GB sv_SE sv-SE en_US MAKEOPTS=-j5 PKGDIR=/usr/portage/packages PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT=/ PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS=--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/tmp PORTDIR=/usr/portage PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage/layman/sunrise /usr/local/portage/layman/science /usr/local/portage SYNC=rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage USE=X a52 aac acl acpi aim alsa ansi asf audiofile avi bash-completion bcmath berkdb bitmap-fonts blas bzip2 bzlib cairo caps cdparanoia cdr cli cracklib crypt cscope css ctype cups cxx dga divx4linux dlloader doc dri dts dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread emacs encode examples exif fbcon ffmpeg fftw filepicker fits flac foomaticdb fortran freetype ftp gd gdbm gif gimp ginac glitz glut gmp gnutls gphoto2 gpm gtk2 guile iconv icq imagemagick imap imlib jabber java jpeg junit kerberos ladcca lapack latex lcms leim libdts liblzo libwww lm_sensors mad matroska memlimit mhash mime mjpeg mmap mmx mng modules mozilla moznopango mozsvg mp3 mpeg mplayer mudflap mythtv ncurses nls nowin noxft nptl nptlonly ogg openal openexr opengl openmp pam pcntl pcre pdf pdflib perl pic pie plotutils png posix postgresql ppds pppd ptp2 python qhull quicktime readline recode reflection restrict-javascript ruby sasl scanner schroedinger sdl session shared sharedmem smp sndfile sockets sox speex spl sse sse2 ssl svg sysfs sysvipc szip tcltk tcpd tetex theora threads tiff timidity toolame truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l v4l2 vcd videos vorbis win32codecs wmf wxgtk1 x264 x86 xanim xforms xine xorg xpm xv xvid xvmc zlib zvbi ALSA_CARDS=emu10k1 ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS=adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol APACHE2_MODULES=actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir

I ended up changing drivers from fglrx to radeon, and the issue went away. I also was seeing a slow redraw of xterm windows when I switched desktops in FVWM; I could see the window being drawn from top to bottom. That too improved with the radeon driver. However, this is a new build (got a new work laptop the other day), so I can't comment on whether older versions of Thunderbird had similar issues. Ok, thanks for the feedback. I've been waiting for the open source drivers to mature so that I can rely on them for my needs (incl. gaming). Perhaps it's time to check them out... But, again, since I've been running the ati-drivers-10.6 for a couple of weeks without problems (that includes previous versions of firefox, thunderbird and seamonkey) and I upgraded thunderbird, firefox and seamonkey at the same time leads me to think that something's changed within these apps (and I only have this problem in those three apps)...

Not directly related to your problem (maybe), but I've noticed that since recent versions, Mozilla applications performance in NX server is terrible! The screen redraws like crazy and it's almost impossible to use Thunderbird or Firefox anymore. (I've also noticed this with certain KDE/Qt programs as well, with Akregator being the worst one.) Older Mozilla programs like Seamonkey 1.x still work great, though. So I'm not sure if they're doing some kind of optimized drawing or some trick that's not fully supported everywhere...
