Xorg.0.log, no xorg.conf
Xorg.0.log, without xorg.conf.
The hardware is (should be somewhere in the log, just saving somebody looking it up):
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]
Recently the nomodeset situation seems to have changed, so I tried various combinations. There is no winners, and each of them all have their own problems: radeon + EXA: tearing while scrolling, and most recently, font/screen corruption when firefox is used. (bug 473815) radeon + XAA: need to boot with nomodeset, or it goes into a black screen instead of GDM. (bug 464896 ?) radeonhd : no xvideo (bug 473819) For general use, radeon + XAA is the best at the moment. (RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]) Is it problem just with Firefox or other X applications show garbage instead of characters as well? What's your locale? It is the whole desktop going funny color (plus fonts garbage) - if it wasn't already 24-bit/true-color display I would say it looks like the good old days with 8-bit display, when the palette has gone wrong. $ export | grep LANG declare -x GDM_LANG="en_GB.utf8" declare -x LANG="en_GB.utf8" Seems to be the same as 473895 . *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 473895 *** |
Created attachment 325147 [details] one screen shot showing corruption Description of problem: screen and fotn is corrupted a little after firefox is started restoring some old session. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): some taken from koji: kernel-2.6.27.7-132.fc10 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-60.fc10 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.3-5.fc10 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot without any xorg.conf 2. start firefox 3. watch screen Actual results: corrupted display after a few web pages from old session is restored. Expected results: normal usage. Additional info: will attach screenshot (screen capture seems to be able to capture the corruption), and Xorg.0.log. It was run without xorg.conf, so there is no xorg.conf to attach.
