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

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?

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

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.

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