firefox scrollbar

Description of problem:
With KMS enabled, vertical scrollbars in GTK apps are consistently misrendered. Other rendering errors also occur, although not as often (scrollbar buttons use cyan instead of black, etc.).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.1.901-1.fc11.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-18.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot without nomodeset
2. Start a GTK app (Firefox is a good candidate, but anything with tall vertical scroll bars tends to do it.)
  
Actual results:
Scrollbar graphic is corrupted (see screenshot)

Expected results:
No display garbling.

This looks like it might be a duplicate of bug 506671.

Waiting on answer on other bug.

Comment 12 Matěj Cepl 2009-11-05 18:37:22 UTC
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command

yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing'

Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD .

Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

[This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
