Hello!
After upgrading to FreeBSD-8.1 and Xorg-7.5, I started having a strange
problem with X11. Things start up fine, but after short while both
firefox and thunderbird begin showing simple straight lines instead of
rows of text (both in the menus and in text widgets). The pictures on
web-pages would not repaint either.
The KDE's (KDE-3.5.10) taskbar also loses all icons and text -- and
becomes simply gray. If I click, where I remember the application's
button is on the taskbar, I can still restore/minimize the window or
start a new instance, however.
The xterms don't have this symptoms -- text inside the xterm windows is
just as visible/usable as it was.
Restarting Xorg is the only "solution" so far... I increased the max
shared memory to:
kern.ipc.shmmax=536870912
kern.ipc.shmall=163840
but the problem didn't go away... Any ideas? Thanks!
