Hi Adrian/others,

Does the flashing / tearing problem also exist if you run Plasma 5 desktop as a

I doubt that. For about a day, the flashing/tearing was not visible/apparent
enough, and the System settings applet too worked well. It was only after a day
of use that window restoration from panel became a spectacle. When I thought
this might be something related to Desktop Effects, I tried turning DE off. But
then the System Settings applet went bonkers too.

I shall be running K5 again only after setting up the debug environment - I
have never launched a debug environment like this before. So I shall need clear
instruction.

a)
Should I reinstall FreeBSD ? The current installation was without kernel-dbg
distribution.

b)
On a clean box, I put 'WITH_DEBUG=yes' in /etc/make.conf and then build xorg
and kde5. Is that what I should do to get the backtrace setup ready ?

CAICOS is R5 230 (My OEM is Sapphire Radeon). Actually it comes as a nasty
solution to me that I could ship out the Radeon card and put in an NVidia card.
A not-so-ingenuous solution, but a solution none the less that I will keep in
the back of my mind.

Thanks.
Manish Jain
