Iceweasel display corruptions anyone?

We have had quite a bunch of bug reports for some display corruptions in Iceweasel, most, if not all, of which are due to offscreen pixmaps being badly rendered by the X.org video driver.

If you happen to be a silent (or even vocal) victim, please give a try to these test packages: for i386 and for amd64. If that solves the corruptions for you, please leave a comment here.

Thanks

    Thanks a lot!

    I can now remove “Option RenderAccel on” from my xorg.conf and still render sites such as planet.gnome.org correctly.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I had some rendering problems with iceweasel too and after updating with your package (amd64) the problems were solved.

    Thanks for the fix!

    Iceweasel display corruptions, maybe a real fix?…

    Thanks for the feedback on the xulrunner-1.9 packages I posted yesterday. They led me to find a possible fix for the issue.
    Wasn’t the package fixed? will you ask. Well, yes and no. Actually, it was built using the internal copy of cairo in the m…
