I may just reinstall LM and see if I have the same black screen problem "out of the box" - if so, the cause is probably something else entirely.

Yes! I noticed this on Friday w/google maps & thought perhaps it was lack of graphics card memory. So I increased the memory & while it seems a little better, it still occurs. However in my case it was any x window, but most repeatable w/google maps. Here is what I was doing: 1. Open google maps & select the 'Print' option. That print window seemed to work OK. 2. Open another google map & select the 'Print' option. That print window was all black. 3. Open another x window in another application (LibreOffice/OpenOffice) and that window was black. You can change the subject to [Linux SM 2.1] if you'd like as I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 w/SM 2.1 from http://www.seamonkey-project.org/. So no dpkg involved; just a simple extract to a home folder as usual for me. If I have time, I'll try to replicate & file a bug report. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

[Linux Mint 11 / Ubuntu 11.04 / SM 2.1] Frequent Black Screens
Has anyone else seen the following? I've had this problem from the moment I installed SM2.1... I am getting frequent "back screens" in SM 2.1.
