[opensuse] Firefox, Xine and Kaffeine

My system, openSUSE 11.0, 32-bit, is always up-to-date, using openSUSE's
update facility (zypper). No hardware has been changed on my system for
the past several years.

I am using Firefox which is the openSUSE version (currently
SUSE/3.0.1-7.2 Firefox/3.0.1), and also using the latest Xine and Kaffeine.

I have been using this combination (except for the version numbers of
course) for years without any problems.

Until recently - say past 3 weeks or so (I've been interstate a few
times in this period so my timing of events is sort of "shot" :-) ).

Since some upgrades to something, what is now occurring is that while I
am watching (digital) TV using either Xine or Kaffeine and also have
Firefox running on anothere Desktop (with a couple or three tabs
'open'), the TV picture freezes, stutters, shakes, "rattles".

The audio is not affected, just the picture.

None of this occurred in the past - until, as I stated, recently.

However, as soon as I shut down (the openSUSE version of) Firefox the
problem with the TV disappears and audio and video are back in sync and
behaving as they ought to.

This same problem occurs whether I am using (the latest) KDE3.x or KDE4.x.

The only common factor seems to be Firefox.

Anyone else noticed this behaviour?

Ciao.
