I would find it hard to believe that two ports would have the same issue, so on that I agree with you. > What graphics card do you have? Is it seated properly? Graphics card is nvidia 5900fx, and it is seated correctly. > If it's an NVidia, are you running the Xorg (nv) driver or the NVidia > driver from ports? I am using the nvidia driver w/ linux support and nvidia's agp. > In an earlier release of Xorg I was forced to switch to the NVidia > driver because the xorg driver didn't work, caused screen corruption > and lockups. (Mozilla triggered that, but I don't blame mozilla). I have not had problems until a few months back, unfortunately, I am not able to say if it was an upgrade to xorg, the nvidia driver or some other port that caused the issue. > From you PR note I see that your are running an Nvidia card, so 1) try > upgrading Xorg as it seems to be out of date - you say you have 6.8 > but 6.9 is the latest 2) If that doesn't help then try the nvidia driver. I was incorrect. I am running the following: cups 1.1.23.0_1 gnome2-2.12.3 nvidia-driver-1.0.8178_1 xorg-6.9.0 xorg-clients-6.9.0_2 should be current. > > --Alex > > > --------------090509090708080907010108--
