Scrolling problems Iceweasel (Radeon HD 3850 problem?)
Hi , After an update somewhere the last few weeks (I can't remember when exactly) scrolling in Iceweasel started to become problematically. I have two (separate?) problems: 1. Scrolling of web pages with graphics is slow with frequent repainting of the complete web page from bottom to top which looks like a tidal wave on my screen. TExt pages do not seem to show this problem. 2. Clicking *just once* on the right scroll bar results in a complete scroll down as if I am clicking constantly. I suspect that it is a problem with the N(non-free) fglrx video driver because this does not happen onmy other PC which has a NVidia. Does anyone recognise these problems and/or has a solution?

Yet Opera ( 11 beta) does not show that issue on the same pages.. Chrome is showing 2% CPU useage 8% memory useage. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi Camaleón, Thanks for the respons.

I have seen that report (and to be honest some more) but as it worked OK until recently (1-2 weeks ago) so I did not think that these reports were related to my problem. Also some of the reports mention problems with NVidia cards, whereas my other PC with a NVidia card works OK. It is actually quit annoying. Especially because it seems that after a while ( 4-5 hours of working on the pc) it starts to affect other applications, and I actually have to reboot my machine. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.

TIA What version of fglrx are you using? You could try turning off the new 2D acceleration stuff, if your catalyst version is 10.6 but 10.10 (its supposed to be all fixed and shiny, but you can still try this). Do the following as root without X running. # aticonfig --del-pcs-key=DDX,Direct2DAccel # aticonfig --set-pcs-str=DDX,ForceXAA,TRUE -- Regards, Angus Hedger Debian GNU/Linux User PGP Public Key 0xEE6A4B97 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Thank you. Your welcome. If/When you upgrade to 10.10 or above, you may want to reverse it, as the new stuff is supposed to be fixed.
