weird behaviour of images in firefox 3

Hi all,
I have a problem with firefox 3 since it is compiled with the --enable-system-cairo option. here is a screenshot

when firefox 3 was in unstable I recompiled it without the option to avoid the problem and it was ok.
disabling the option now with PKGBUILD and the other build files from [extra] doesn't solve the problem.
I have cairo package up-to-date from [extra] .

any advice?

thanks

Re: weird behaviour of images in firefox 3

I know this probably doesn't really help, but I do know one of the big changes in ff3 was the way it handles images. They were trying to really speed up the image loading/display code. I noticed in a lot of the betas i got black images or partially black images (bars across the top of varying height). This progressively happened less and less as the beta releases progressed, but maybe this is a related problem?

Re: weird behaviour of images in firefox 3

the weird thing is that recompiling firefox without the --enable-system-cairo option solved the problem until firefox hit [extra]. now i'm not able to fix this weird behaviour.

Thanks for the reply wink

Re: weird behaviour of images in firefox 3

Remove any "XaaOffscreenPixmaps" options from xorg.conf and your problem is fixed. This option is disabled since xorg-server-1.4.2-1, previous versions had it enabled unless you disable it from config.

Re: weird behaviour of images in firefox 3

I'm using EXA. Presumably I could fix this by switching to XAA without "XaaOffscreenPixmaps" options, but that would introduce other issues. Oh well. hmm

Re: weird behaviour of images in firefox 3

Hmm, EXA? You're sure? This is typical XAA behaviour when XAAOffscreenPixmaps are turned on.
