Topic: Iceweasel keeps moving after mouse-up
Hi,
I got my Novena laptop via UPS yesterday and successfully installed the LCD without destroying it. It boots up great and seems generally functional. Hooray!
When I drag Iceweasel an inch or two across the screen, the window keeps moving slowly for 3-10 seconds after I release the mouse. This does not happen with other applications like Terminal, Thunar, or Task Manager.
From what I can gather from other threads (like http://www.kosagi.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=86), this is probably happening because the UseGPU option is set to false in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-novena.conf, which leaves us with unaccelerated 2D rendering. Because Iceweasel is more than just a text window like Terminal, it renders more slowly, so it lags more.
Assuming I'm right about all this, I figure the thing I should do is wait for Xobs and co. to finish "getting a newer galcore driver ported that should fix the glitches" and then reenable the GPU.
Am I on the right track here?
