There's one very important difference and it relates to all the post |
| 38 |
I've written in this thread: compositing. Fluxbox doesn't use that. |

You will need to start trying something sooner or later, if you |
| 41 |
discard problems like that without any further looking you might not |
| 42 |
find the problem ever. |

A lot of people were hit by a nasty bug that hard locked the pc when |
| 50 |
plugging in usb storage devices. Your camera would fit that category. |
| 51 |
I remember a thread in the forum where most users affected by this had |
| 52 |
a similar motherboard and chipset. |

There's been some noise about this in many places, not just that |
| 57 |
thread. So you might want to take a look at it if you can't solve your |
| 58 |
problem recompiling the tray app. |
