Bug#595200: Parts of the firefox/iceweasel window are completely black

[Julien Tailleur]

Hi,

First, installing firefox 3.5.11 from Mozilla website solves the problem: 
no more black parts.

Now, I've dowgraded quite a few packages: I've looked for the upgrades of 
xulrunner, iceweasel and anything with cairo in it:

***************************

Cairo:

julien at rotule:~$ cat /var/log/dpkg.log.1 | grep cairo | grep upgrade | awk 
'{print $3,$4,$5,$6}'

upgrade libmono-cairo2.0-cil 2.4.4~svn151842-1 2.4.4~svn151842-3
upgrade libcairo-perl 1.061-1 1.070-1
upgrade libcairomm-1.0-1 1.8.0-1 1.8.4-3

I've downgraded the last two (could not find the first one on debian 
snapshot ?!)

  dpkg -l | grep cairo | awk '{print $1,$2,$3}'
ii libcairo-perl 1.061-1
ii libcairo2 1.8.10-5
ii libcairomm-1.0-1 1.8.0-1
ii libmono-cairo2.0-cil 2.4.4~svn151842-3
ii libpixman-1-0 0.16.4-1
ii python-cairo 1.8.8-1+b1

*********************************

xulrunner:

  cat /var/log/dpkg.log.1 | grep xulrunner | grep upgrade | awk '{print 
$3,$4,$5,$6}'
upgrade xulrunner-1.9.1 1.9.1.9-6 1.9.1.11-1

dpkg -l | grep xulrunner | awk '{print $1,$2,$3}'
ii xulrunner-1.9.1 1.9.1.9-6

*********************************

iceweasel:

julien at rotule:~$ cat /var/log/dpkg.log.1 | grep iceweasel | grep upgrade | 
awk '{print $3,$4,$5,$6}'
upgrade iceweasel 3.5.9-2 3.5.11-1
upgrade iceweasel-l10n-fr 1:3.5.9+debian-1 1:3.5.11+debian-1
julien at rotule:~$ dpkg -l | grep iceweasel | awk '{print $1,$2,$3}'
ii iceweasel 3.5.9-2
ii iceweasel-l10n-fr 1:3.5.11+debian-1

********************************

I also tried to reboot with my previous kernel 2.6.32-3 rather than 
2.6.32-5, and with the previous version of fglrx without much success.

Any suggestion apart from reverting one by one all the upgrades I've made? :-)

best wishes,

Julien
