Firefox 3 cured

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Recently I blew away ageing 6-STABLE on my workstation and installed afresh 7-STABLE. While at it, I decided to install Firefox3 instead of good ol’ Firefox2. It worked okay, but behold, on certain pages background images were replaced by random pieces of screen widgetry.

I was desperate.

Finally good folks of the FreeNode’s #freebsd-gnome channel, namely Zyl and miwi, told me the relevant more magic line for xorg.conf:

Option “XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps” “On”

And all is warm and cozy again. Thanks!
