another simple test is to run the http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/PsychedelicBrowsing/Default.html and check if the lower part of the screen is a black box or trasparent layer 


i am using windows 7 with a DX9 card and DX10 library 

PS: performance on ie9 psychedelic test jump from around 1050 to 1650 point

This should not block until we have a reported case with a DX10 card. (I haven't had the opportunity to try yet) Although I'm expecting it to reproduce on DX10 cards as well.

Please renominate if this ever happens with a DX10 card.

I cannot reproduce this on my DX10 card much to my surprise, I'd like to know if someone can!

I'm tried with an NVidia GT230M, GT8800, and an ATI 5850, not using the beta driver but I doubt it'll matter, I can try later though. I wonder if there's some limitation to D3D10 level9_3 which I've failed to take into account.

I get this on my 6800GS. D3D10 gets a much better score though ;)

just some news ,with the build of this week , if i disable accelerate-all , loading the page www.badtaste.it www.anandtech.com etc firefox become completly unresponsive as soon as page i scrolled (but it did not crash).

-  Enabling accelerate-all (using D3D10) all is ok but the black flikering rectangle still here every time that a trasparent layer is used or on text forms. (im that case flash player clipping over chrome toolbar is ok)  

- Enabling accelerate-all (using D3D9) no black rectangle and trasparent layer are ok , but flash plugin paint over chrome toolbar when scrolled. And scrolling work on www.badtaste.it (this site use a trasparent layer for advertising)

Hi, the problem still persist with different driver.
Explorer 9 use d2d without problem, http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/FishBowl/Default.html show about 25 fps at 50 fish.
Firefox show 0 fps at 50 fish. If I turn on d2d i see many black box

Firefox with forced d2d is
considerably faster and render without artefact (same as Explorer9)

just a little update , i am using aurora 9.0a2 , now all is ok , just a little glitch. I still have black rectangle on auurora tab button , search engine , and tabs name just when firefox start, but if i minimize and maximize the windows or if i pass the mouse over the tab all the glitch gone and i am able to use D2D accelerated layer even with a DX9 cart on windows 7 (D2D force true and , DX9 prefer true)
