Howdy,

It's not as funny, when you're on assus eeepc or eee pc.
It seems it only happens when the page goes over the height of the window.
Full-screen mode is ok though.
When back from full-screen, no shaking.
After resizing the window, shaking starts gain.
It is intermittent that when switching the tabs it sometimes stops as well.

:o) Best regards, Robajz.info

Hi Alexander,

How do I find out? I have a stripped down version of kubuntu installed, because it's just 4GB available on eee. I don't think I enabled any special effects.

Thanks and regards, Rob.

can you capture a screen video for this issue?

[Robajz.info (robert-sevcik)]

Howdy, It's on youtube now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToT_JjrwlZ0

The shaking has actually higher frequency then on the video. Guess it leaves
some frames out.

So when I start the video, firefox is already shaking. I go to search on
google, still shaking. Make the screen even smaller, maximize, still
shaking. View in full screen, STOPs shaking. quit fullscreen - still no
shaking. Resize the windows - shaking a gain. and so on... sometimes it
starts shaking just by browsing...

I guess you're not interested in the full quality recording, as it's 24MB.

Regards, Robert.

Can you try this in Ubuntu 8.10 and tell us if the problem still occurs?
