I recently installed 11.4 on my Thinkpad A22p(P3/1Ghz/512MB/ATI Rage 128Mobility-16MB). I installed KDE3 and updated Firefox to v6 through the Mozilla repo(which begs the question of what they are doing with v5.x in the main repo since Mozilla claims v6 is the security update......)
Anyway, I've had issues with the menu bar, Tabs and the URL bar and the Search bar. The tabs will disappear and take the menu bar with them, and sometimes when I am typing in the URL and Search bars, the text will dissappear....
Larry, I customized my toolbar as soon as FF 4X came out. That may have saved me in the upgrades from 4->5 and 5->6, because I haven't had any issues with tabs or the url/search bar.
I had to use my 11.0 xorg.conf because 11.4 couldn't configure the display properly......And they said we didn't need SaX2.........
11.4 and 11.0 use different xorg schemes. The new 11.4 setup is a rules based config similar to the udev setup. Instead of having a single: /etc/X11/xorg.conf you now have xorg.conf broken up into separate files under: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d All of the familiar section for xorg.conf are there, they are just separated into the various files: 09:19 alchemy:/etc/X11> l xorg.conf.d/ total 44 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 25 20:39 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Aug 28 20:41 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1099 Aug 25 10:14 10-evdev.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3602 Jul 11 05:47 11-mouse.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 242 Mar 28 20:44 50-device.conf.rpmsave -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 242 Mar 10 17:04 50-device.conf.sav -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 171 Mar 28 20:44 50-device.conf.xaa -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 426 Mar 16 00:34 50-synaptics.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 115 Jul 11 05:47 50-vmmouse.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 891 Jul 11 05:47 50-wacom.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 107 Mar 9 02:27 90-keytable.conf Since you have an ATI based box, you may want to try configuring the 50-devices.conf.xaa file to disable dri. eg: 09:19 alchemy:/etc/X11> cat xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf.xaa Section "Module" Disable "dri" Disable "dri2" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Default Device" Driver "radeonhd" Option "AccelMethod" "xaa" EndSection Performance on my Radeon X1250 based laptop has never been better with the open-source driver. Really close to the old proprietary driver performance.
I didn't notice this running LXDE when I first installed it, but I can't remember if I've use LXDE since I got KDE3 running.
Has anyone else seen this? Thanx
There have been huge xorg fixes put in place under the following bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678264 You may just need a tweak or two to your xorg.conf.d files to get it running properly. Don't forget to change your xorg.conf file name to something else (eg. xorg.conf.sav) so you are not overriding the settings in xorg.conf.d/... when you test. -- David C.
