Is that enough info to point me in the right direction? No, not enough info. I suggest posting everything that got updated (using genlop) and a good description of how stuff on the scrren is weird. Sounds like a screenshot posting is very justified too. First gut feel tells me it won't be Qt as firefox doesn't use it. Drivers maybe? Xorg itself? Is there anything in your elogs about steps to take with anything related to X? Does an X restart (or even a reboot) affect it at all? -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
