The open source video drivers are the worst. But hopeful, soon everything will be change when someone complete driver from AMD/ATI hardware document. Same for Intel and VIA. I actually complete agree with this http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/2008/06/nitty-gritty-shit-on-open-source.html .. Anyway.... I have found many users report over at Ubuntu's launchpad. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/182038 It looks like it's not FreeBSD speific. One last thing that I would like you guys to give one more try. Try to get Firefox 3 to use its own jpeg in its tarball. I got this idea from above bugs.launchpad.net URL. However, add ' -jpeg' in USE_MOZILLA at 26 line in www/firefox3/Makefile and reinstall it. Remove that XAANoOffscreenPixmaps workaround and give Firefox 3 a try again in same websites that you are having problem. If it helps, I can make a change in www/firefox3 and bump it. If not, then I think that there is nothing that I can help. You will have to work with freedesktop.org or/and freebsd-x11@ to improvement with video drivers. If you find that it's actually firefox 3 bug, please let us know. > You said you wanted to compare "make configure" for firefox3: > > http://home.arcor.de/jan_henrik/freebsd-tmp/firefox3-make-configure.bz2 Thanks, I don't see any different between our. Back to video driver or jpeg or else. Cheers, Mezz > Cheers, > Jan Henrik -- mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.org
