I've searched fit-PC2 forums for this or similar problems but could not find anything related. So I decided to post.

I'm running Firefox 3.5.7 on Ubuntu 9.10 on fit-PC2. Firefox makes parts of certain websites black upon mouse over event. So far, I have noticed this problem only on a handful of websites such as the nytimes.com, guardian.co.uk and an a couple of internal company web apps.

Some buttons/text or blocks on these websites go black when mouse over them.

This really limits the usability of Firefox/Ubuntu/FIT-PC2 combination....

Other websites such as bbcnews.com, yahoo, google, etc work fine. I've tried firefox in safe-mode also, but no luck. I've deleted my existing firefox profile so that Firefox would create a new profile the next time it is launched and the problem still persists.

I don't like to conclude that it is probably the VGA card that does not repaint the application/screen properly, but I can't think of any other issue.

I would really appreciate some help here, thanks.

The problem is between firefox and the display driver. Hopefully it will be resolved in a revision of either.

Thank you! Is the display driver adapter problematic with Ubuntu 9.10 only or in general with all versions of Ubuntu?

This problem was not present in Ubuntu 8.04

Thank you, this is very helpful. My question is answered.
