Description Julian Sikorski 2016-11-22 21:34:25 UTC

Description of problem:
Since I upgraded to Fedora 25 the gnome has become unusable. It appears there are serious problems with refreshing the display, with previous frames being displayed interchangeably with current ones. This happens with both wayland and x.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-desktop3-3.22.1-1.fc25.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.19.0-0.8.rc2.fc25.x86_64
libwayland-server-1.12.0-1.fc25.x86_64
libwayland-server-1.12.0-1.fc25.i686

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 25 x86_64 on a Clevo P150HM with nvidia 680M GPU
2. Start gnome session

Actual results:
screen flickers and old frames are shown interchangeably with new ones

Expected results:
desktop is shown without issues

Additional info:
I have made some videos to show the problem:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kbExMvORss

In the first video, observe how current and previous frames swap with each press of the keyboard.

I started LXDE and the problem is gone, so it looks like the problem is somewhere in the gnome stack.

I believe bug 1397623 is a duplicate of this.
