Jindrich Makovicka already confirmed at the > mentioned bugtracker that new driver fixes the problem. Jesse Davis already confirmed that 304.37 worked fine for him. I have: 1. installed libcairo2 1.12.2-2 from wheezy (was using custom build with a workaround before), 2. rechecked that my Chrome browsing experience is in no way bearable, 3. installed nvidia-* stuff in version 304.48-1 from sid, 4. noticed that browser is responsive again! So it just works. No need to build your own libcairo2 and pin it anymore. > The issue affects a lot of people, thus I think that the best solution > would be the new nvidia driver hitting wheezy before it'll be released > as a stable. I believe that Wheezy will have nvidia stuff in 304.x version. Regards. P.S. Just in case, I'm CCing all participants of this bug discussion. -- Przemysław 'Przemoc' Pawełczyk http://przemoc.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
