Fsyncers and curveballs (the Firefox 3 fsync() problem) Posted May 27, 2008 18:43 UTC (Tue) by gerv (subscriber, #3376) [Link] Nope, don't see that. All looks good to me. I can email you a screenshot if you like. Or, you could take one and file a bug with it :-) Gerv
Fsyncers and curveballs (the Firefox 3 fsync() problem) Posted May 27, 2008 18:48 UTC (Tue) by zlynx (subscriber, #2285) [Link] Oh yeah, I've seen that too. Not very often though, and not always on the same site. I think its some kind of image rendering glitch. It's like other pixmaps get mixed into the image.
Fsyncers and curveballs (the Firefox 3 fsync() problem) Posted May 28, 2008 1:03 UTC (Wed) by roc (subscriber, #30627) [Link] Sounds like an X bug, since Firefox doesn't actually have access to the contents of the windows of other applications.
Fsyncers and curveballs (the Firefox 3 fsync() problem) Posted May 28, 2008 7:42 UTC (Wed) by MisterIO (guest, #36192) [Link] So why Galeon and any other program except for Epiphany-webkit(so another browser) don't have this problem. If it was X, I should have seen it everywhere. http://img138.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotthewor...
Fsyncers and curveballs (the Firefox 3 fsync() problem) Posted May 28, 2008 10:05 UTC (Wed) by jond (subscriber, #37669) [Link] That doesn't stand to reason. It's perfectly feasible for only one app to cause a bug in X to be apparent.
Fsyncers and curveballs (the Firefox 3 fsync() problem) Posted May 28, 2008 12:48 UTC (Wed) by roc (subscriber, #30627) [Link] So you see this bug in epiphany-webkit and Firefox, and you assume it's a Firefox bug? That's amazing.
Fsyncers and curveballs (the Firefox 3 fsync() problem) Posted May 28, 2008 18:40 UTC (Wed) by MisterIO (guest, #36192) [Link] Obviously I didn't see that in epiphany because it's more than a month that I'm not using epiphany anymore, because of its shift to webkit, which is still in experimental stage IMO. I just tried it there after having reinstalled epiphany to test those sites exactly because here people were saying they didn't notice that problem.
Fsyncers and curveballs (the Firefox 3 fsync() problem) Posted Jun 27, 2008 13:25 UTC (Fri) by sharkb (guest, #52709) [Link] In case you didn't find the solution yet (or if someone else is looking for it), take a look at Debian Bug Report #482992 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482992 In short the solution is to add the following line to the "Device" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" "on" You need to restart your X, unless you want to experiment with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4211618
