This is due to the fact that, under firefox 3, canvas uses xlib/xrender for its rendering instead of pure software rendering under firefox 2. Unfortunately, the state of xrender in Nvidia binary driver is [http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/299.html still] [http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/290.html far from perfection]. | This is due to the fact that, under firefox 3, canvas uses xlib/xrender for its rendering instead of pure software rendering under firefox 2.

Users of Intrepid can now install the Nvidia 180 drivers (which have much better 2D performance) from the intrepid-updates repository: | |||
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 | |||
Other solutions are to either to use the "NV" drivers (but it won't be possible to benefit of the same level of 3D acceleration used by compiz and co) or to use the latest binary drivers (>= 173) and tweak the InitialPixmapPlacement as follows: | |||
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 | nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 | ||
