[gentoo-user] Minefield on Gentoo
Hello, list. Is anyone here using Minefield (aka Firefox 3) on Gentoo? I'm trying to use it, but some sites have been showing nasty font problems. For example, if I try to open slashdot.org, no fonts are shown. The reason I'm asking it in this list is because I have the exact same Minefiend version on my home computer (running Ubuntu), and it doesn't show any problems at all. Also, as slashdot is a really high profile site, I wouldn't expect a problem like this to stay for over a month. I tried reinstalling my Gentoo box, but same problem happens. Tried to switch video card also (onboard geforce to an external riva - both running the nv driver), but it doesn't help a bit. Firefox 2 opens sites normally, so I don't think this is a X or font problem. In fact, if I highlight the invisible text with the mouse, sometimes it appears. It's very very weird. So.. if someone is able to run Minefield (and open slashdot), could you please just tell me what's your box configuration?

Thanks I run Minefield here flawlessly from the Mozilla overlay https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-556225.html . Are you using the exact same cvs snapshot on both boxes? In either case, if your not using that overlay I definitely recommend you do. I've had no problems. -- Kenneth Prugh - Ken69267 Gentoo AMD64 Arch Tester signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Thanks, I'll try the ebuild as soon as I get subversion installed. I'm still in the middle of compiling gnome stuff. I was running Minefield directly from my home dir. I just downloaded the tar.bz2 from the nightly directory, unpacked and it was all set. From about a month back, it started with these font problems. What video card and driver are you using?

I'm using Minefield with a NVIDIA 7950GTO with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.11 on this machine. I also have Minefield working (although its slow) on an old powerbook with a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700. I'm not sure of the driver, I believe it's X11's included radeon driver. -- Kenneth Prugh - Ken69267 Gentoo AMD64 Arch Tester signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I just tried the same version (package downloaded from ftp.mozilla.org) on another machine with nvidia's binary driver, and still the same issues. Slashdot doesn't render, and I can't see source code (ctrl-u), all fonts are blank. As soon as I finish gnome, I'll emerge subversion and try the ebuild and post the results. This is getting very very annoying :/ Thanks again -- Bruno Lustosa [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lustosa.net/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
