Hi. I reported this issue a few days ago in this bugzilla, and in freedesktop a few weeks ago. Bug ID I reported: 1225248 You will see an attachment (and report) with the same issue (i use Gnome desktop). Other distros worked fine, its a problem with this new F22. Very important notice is in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90127 (the first report by me) with the issue solution, but it seems must be solved by DEV team and make a new package with xorg-intel driver, i think. @GregVD, Thanks for referencing your bug ID 1225248. I searched for display distortion before opening mine but unfortunately found no applicable hits at the time. (Likely because of the different wording..) I also found a thread on Fedora Forum where several users make reference to this same issue and provide some additional information. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=304718 The discussion points to the update "xorg-x11-drv-intel.x86_64 2.99.917-9.20150520.fc22" being the culprit. That forum thread also shows additional screenshot examples of the issue. The person who posted the screenshot is getting distortion in different areas than me. (Such as the app menu, which has never showed any distortion on my system.) (In reply to streetrodguy1955 from comment #2) > @GregVD, Thanks for referencing your bug ID 1225248.

And i have the same issue that you saw in that attached images. Anyway we think this is a serious problem... Possible workaround.... Fedora forum member sumitbhardwaj found a workaround: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=304718&page=2 --pasted from above page--- (as su, or using sudo) Create a new file called: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with below text: Section "Device" Identifier "card0" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection After saving the file, reboot. Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 1031028 [details] Screenshot example of display distortion. Description of problem: After 05/27/2015 system update (4 packages) the following issue occurred. This problem did not exist prior to 05/27 updates. Display was previously normal when running Fedora 21, and also when 22 was initially installed via FedUP on 05/26/2015. Video distortion of graphics and text contained in dialog boxes and app windows. Examples of affected dialog boxes: 1. KDE Wallet password prompt. 2. GPG prompt 3. Konsole window (text within is distorted. 4. Random areas of Firefox, especially in area of page with images. The distortion is not area specific. With only the desktop visible, the entire screen, background, and desktop icon graphics are fine. Also, moving affected windows to display-normal areas of the desktop has no effect. The distortion follows the movement of the affected windows / dialog boxes. Attached is a screenshot from the affected system. The distortion is actually incorporated as-seen into the screenshot. Areas where no distortion is experienced whatsoever: 1. The entire desktop and icons are consistently completely normal with no distortion. 2. The KDE Application menu and all groups / icons consistently look normal with no distortion. **The system did not have this issue prior to first post-install software update. (4 packages were updated tonight 05/27. Although I don't recall all 4 package names updated, I did see that "bash" was among them, Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 22 KDE 4.0.4-301.fc22.x86_64 Hardware: Dell Studion 1535 with Intel Mobile GM 965 / GL 960 graphics controller. How reproducible: Rebooted. Logged in to system. The same display distortion appears in random areas of dialog boxes and application windows. I only have Fedora 22 running on one system. - (an old laptop used to test stability before upgrading primary workstation) Therefore I don't have a second computer with which to try re-creating scenario. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Power down / reboot. 2. Log in. 3. open apps / windows, check dialog boxes. Actual results: Consistent issue. Problem repeats. Expected results: No distortion Additional info: See attached screenshot.
