Xorg.0.log

I haven't used any /etc/X11/xorg.conf. It used the builtin. I've repeated the test today, using the same Radeon Test Day image.

This time, I tried to put the image upside down and rotate left/right. upside down worked without artifacts. Rotate left or Rotate right produced a messy random image. Returning back to the original image worked on all cases.

does this still happen with the latest -ati and kernel?

latest ati is 6.12.2-2.

I've updated my F10 partition to rawhide, in order to test. I'm now using:

xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-2.fc11.i586
kernel-2.6.29.1-70.fc11.i586

I also removed the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, to try to have the same behaviour as the legacy 
with gnome-display-properties, trying to rotate gaves an error, saying that it can't apply the selected configuration:

   Não foi possível aplicar a configuração selecionada

   Method "ApplyConfiguration" with signature "" on interface "org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR" doesn't exist

An usage of the text mode tool (xrandr) properly rotated inverted, left, right and normal.

However, after returning back to normal, it is noticed that font and image display were not working properly.

I'm enclosing a captured gimp screen showing the artifacts. It shold also be noticed that the captured screen displayed at the machine has even more artifacts, showing a completely useless picture.

captured screen showing artifacts

On this screen, it can be seen that several fonts and bitmap pictures were showing incorrectly, after rotating and rotating back.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
