[SOLVED] black blocks in firefox images

BenCollver · 02-14-2009, 07:36 AM

In firefox 3.0.6 on slackware 12.2 I frequently see black blocks in images, especially when I zoom in. Has anyone else run into this and found a workaround?

Here is a screen shot of firefox displaying a normal page.

Here is a screen shot of the same page zoomed in. Notice the black blocks.

I ran into an Xorg driver bug.

A workaround is mentioned here.
