Problem: Randomly and in many different programs, I get fuzzy borders around my windows and in addition sometimes I get blocked text in the windows - but not in the program itself (for example Firefox menu has black box text but the web page is fine).[attachment=348][attachment=347] I’m been searching with various search terms, and trying various setting tweaks things but no luck so far. Fuzzy borders usually fix themselves with a minimize/maximize, but the black box font issue, I had to reboot. Especially hard to troubleshoot since it is random and search terms are not clearly defined.
When first running netrunner, I had to choose the non-free drivers to avoid the blank screen, so I 'm running nvidia driver:
NVIDIA GeForce 6-Series GPUs / NVIDIA nForce4 MCPs
If you check the 331 read me for supported chips, the Geforce 6100 is longer supported by the latest non-free driver, you will need to run the 304.xx nvidia-legacy driver or nouveau for that chip.
Thanks, but I’m already using the 304.121 driver. Should I try to downgrade even further? I checked my Mint KDE and it is running 304.88 - maybe I’ll try that.
When first running netrunner (live), I had to choose the non-free drivers to avoid the blank screen …is switching to nouveau post-installation going to cause the same issue?
You can’t use the 304.88 drivers they are not available anymore, also Netrunner Rolling (Manjaro) isn’t compatible with the Arch way of installing Nvidia drivers anymore. Next thing to check is the ISO you used to install your system with (md5sum), you might have a corrupt install/ISO, and never use UNetbootin with Netrunner Rolling (Manjaro) ISO’s, it won’t boot, work or install properly.
PS. Please try the free nouveau drivers if all else fails.
PSS. I almost forgot did you update the default libGL library after the last update?
Also make sure your not using software composting or hardware openGL higher than your card can handle: System Settings > Workspace Behaviour > Desktop effects.[attachment=349]
