Indeed. Using cwm on my amd64+"ATI Radeon HD 5450" with self-built snaps, Chromium has had problems for quite a while now. Basically not redrawing itself as I move xterms across it or switch focus to it. I've just gotten used to moving the cursor to the navigation bar to force a redraw. On the "black square" front I did notice that if I move the cursor into the probable navigation bar area the cursor shape changes to the bar shape indicating it's over an input field. Typing stuff in doesn't relieve the blackness though. I've never run xcompmgr, so I might try that. .... Ken
