Re: [DNG] [dng@lists.dyne.org: Re: new firefox-esr buggy?]
Tito, I know nothing about compositing an image. I gather my fluxbox window manager does not do it. I run no DE and so presume it does not to it either. I tried: $ gsettings set compositing-manager false but my syntax is wrong and I don't know why. I'm told to "Set the value of KEY to VALUE. I thought compositing-manager was the key and false the value. -- Haines Brown ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I apologize for the slowness of my reply to all the valuable suggestions. I've worked around the display problem, but thought best to address some of the suggestions because it is only a work around, not a fix. I gather from users of the 78.15.0esr version of Firefox that the video problem is not with that version. This is good to know. I assume it is not a video driver problem for that display issue occurs only with Firefox, not with other graphics intensive applications or browsers. I'm unsure how to approach a problem with video sync, but as best I can make out the display issue occurs with all the URLs I visit. I purged my old Firefox and reinstalled without its having access to old cache and the problem persisted. Wasn't able to do the memtest86+ because of the press of work, but it is a good idea to do when I get a chance even though I have worked around then Firefox display problem. It does seem to be a refresh problem. If I open a terminal on top of the browser's page display and them move the terminal it away, the lines that has been under the termoinal break up one second. I have no ideal how one fixes such a problem in a particular application. Turning off smooth scrolling had no effect. Turning now to my work aroud. My theory had been that my browser was upgraded when I did a general update/upgrade perhaps a month ago. But about that time I also temporarly chagne zoon. So I want back to an earlier version of Firefox. Not sure what version was using and so arbitrarily downloaded Firefox 7.0.1. Turns out this version has no display distortion. Emboldened I also downloaded a new version of Firefox: 95.0.1. Much my suprrise this ran out of the box. No dependency issues. It also does not have the display problem. So I'll try to migrate to it as my default browser if I can. -- Haines Brown ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
