This is a duplicate of 1199890 Bug 1199890, I mean. (In reply to Conley Moorhous from comment #2) > Bug 1199890, I mean. Ah - it was a different symptom on my laptop - more like a tearing. Gnome on Wayland is pretty shaky anyhow. I don't mind Wayland being in F21 as an option but if it's still rocky by the time hard beta choices have to be made I'm going to lobby for pushing Wayland into F23 :-( (In reply to Conley Moorhous from comment #2) > Bug 1199890, I mean. And bug 1199747?? FWIW my laptop has an integrated Intel GPU - model number should be listed in the attached lspci log. Created attachment 1004813 [details]
lspci output from my notebook
Got the same problem on my tarox modula notebook
I solved this problem by removing the second video card module and leaving the intel only: rmmod nouveau F-22 beta, ThinkPad T510 - same problem. Disabled wayland for gdm for now, that got rid of the problem. It looks it has been fixed with latest kernel in rawhide https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug (In reply to gabriele.vidali from comment #8) > It looks it has been fixed with latest kernel in rawhide > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug Sadly, the fix is not in kernel-4.0.2-300.fc22.x86_64 :-( (In reply to Bojan Smojver from comment #9) > (In reply to gabriele.vidali from comment #8) > > It looks it has been fixed with latest kernel in rawhide > > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug > > Sadly, the fix is not in kernel-4.0.2-300.fc22.x86_64 :-( I think this should be a blocker bug for final release, since there's an easy fix - edit the config file - and the default yields a virtually unusable system on many common laptops. How do I propose a blocker? (In reply to M.

How do I propose a blocker? I think you should file a new bug on the GDM component setting it a dependent on this bug and bive it a high severity and ask for it to block release.

Created attachment 1000174 [details] lspci output Description of problem: I installed Fedora 22 Workstation Alpha on my laptop. When it came up in the Wayland GDM screen, it was flickering - very annoying. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 22 Alpha How reproducible: Don't know - I only have one laptop. Let me know what details you want on the video card / display - I'm guessing this is device-specific. Attaching output of lspci
