## Mark Kirkwood (mar...@paradise.net.nz):
I'm on 7.1 Prerelease refreshed a few days ago. I've noticed that Firefox 3 (3.0.4, but 3.0.3 was the same) displays snippets from ones desktop on some webpages (yahoo and youtube being the 2 most recent).
Image rendering was optimized in Firefox 3, so it breaks with a lot of xservers (seems as if some pixmap rendering code is broken in X and firefox triggers that problem). Try setting Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" to "true" in the "Device" section of your xorg.conf.
Christoph,
Thank yo so much for this suggestion.
I have been annoyed by this odd problem since I started using Firefox3 and this finally make things work correctly. I think this needs to be in a FAQ somewhere until/unless the Xorg driver is fixed.
In any case, I was seeing this with an ATI Radeon X300 M22 graphics chipset. I don't seem to see it with my nVidia GeForce 7800 GT based system. I don't THINK I see it with my old MGA Matrox G450 , but I won't have my eyeballs in front of that system until next month, si I am not sure.
Anyone seeing this with any other graphics device that does not use the RADEON driver?
The Radeon X 1650 Pro [RV535] has this problem (using XAA). The Radeon HD 3450 [RV620 IIRC] (which doesn't support XAA or EXA yet) does not display the problem. I tested it with both the ati and the radeonhd driver. They both gave the same result.
