The display of the web browsers Epiphany and iceweasel seam not to be
updated properly. When I scroll down with the arrows horizontal stripes
appear. When I move another window across the browser it leaves
vertical and horizontal stripes. Clicking on the top bar of the browsers
window causes a clean redisplay. But there are still corrupted regions
around the slider bar.
Any chance you upgrade xserver-xorg-core and xserver-xorg-video-ati to
unstable to see whether the problem occurs there too?
Hi Brice,
thanks for your reply.
Aptitude complains about many conflicts when I try to update
xserver-xorg-core to sid. I also tried to update the virtual package
but that would cause conflicts too. So I didn't update.
Is there still a way how I could try the xserver from sid without
completely upgrading to sid?
I finally upgraded xorg completely to sid. And I did upgrade iceweasel.
Unfortunately the problem remains. Could it be due to the graphics
library? I guess that is gtk2 for both iceweasel and epiphany?
(With etch there was no problem.)
Can you try with another driver instead of ati? Maybe vesa for instance?
In xorg.conf I replaced the line:
Driver "ati"
with:
Driver "vesa"
I'm not sure if this is enough? The result was that I could not
get into the GNOME desktop anymore.
Or s3 on the other board that seems to be installed in this machine?
I did not try it yet. This is an on-board card which uses the processors
RAM. I could do it for a test if this would assist you?
