so it's not corrupted unless you view a certain website? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Actually it was getting corrupted frequently while surfing the net. I didn't try any other applications. I do not have desktop effects enabled either. I went back to using nomodeset. can we get /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/messages from a session where you reproduce the problem? Thanks. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers The only message from dmesg that was useful is the following Unpin not necessary for f394da00 ! This happened after X crashed. I'm attaching another screen shot as well as the Xorg.0.log. The Xorg.0.log doesn't look like it has much information that is useful.

Xorg.0.log from screen corruption and X crash.
Xorg log information. From Xorg crash and screeen corruption.
Created attachment 368464 [details]
Screen shot of corruption.
Another example of video corrpution.
Disregard the part about X crashing. It didn't. I forgot that I had left the dialog for closing X up. It probably exited due to that. This machine is unusable without nomodeset due to the frequent screen corruption. With nomodeset it is almost as usuable due to not being able to use various websites and random crashes. I filed a bug for the nomodeset crashes. Please attach full dmesg, thanks. Created attachment 369339 [details]
Dmesg output
Booted without the nomodeset option. Enabled desktop effects for a moment, so there is a crash related to ICE.
I can't reproduce this with RS690, browsing website you mentioned without flash thought, do you still have this issue with an up to date fedora 12 and kernel modesetting enabled ? Yes. I hadn't triggered it on a webpage, but I triggered it by viewing the pdf of the latest amqp spec (v1.0 r2). I was using evince. I was able to trigger this using Fedora 13 Beta with all of the latest updates as of 2010 May 02. I was using Firefox. Reproduce: https://maps.tva.com/ Click the map. The screen will become corrupted and a new window will open with a large version of the river system map. I can log out and log back in. The corruption is fixed. Updated profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_efe3df8e-c410-4ae1-974b-4f8956e3a79e I'm able to trigger this bug pretty regularly under F13. I've noticed that if I switch user instead of loggin out that the other user doesn't have any screen corruption. However, when I log out the other user and switch back to my regular login that the corrupted screen still exists. I was able to trigger this under F14 Alpha. I'm fully updated as of Fri Aug 27 2010 21:30 EST. To trigger, visit the Adobe website. I can't remember if it happened immediately or if clicked get flash. I don't have flash installed currently. changing version per comment 14 Confirmed on Fedora 14 Final, updated as of 11/7/10 11:50 AM CST viewing some websites, or using OpenGL based applications triggers this, nomodeset no longer works as a workaround, as X does not start. - WORKAROUND (POOR 2D PERFORMANCE): Disabling DRM [1] solves the issue, but even just the 2D performance of the X1200 series becomes absolutely poor. - POSSIBLE UPSTREAM (?) REGRESSION: I personally saw this issue with my Gateway LT3103u [2] in Fedora 12 and now again after an upgrade to 14, currently kernel 2.6.35.11-83.fc14. Apparently I am not alone -- e.g., bz#657607 And apparently it was _solved_ in Fedora 13, the last kernel I ran was kernel-2.6.34.7-66.fc13 and had no issues. I would inspect the code to ensure there was not a regression upstream. - NO OTHER CUSTOMER OPTION: Customers do not have the option of running the ATI closed source driver, as it does _not_ support the X1200 series logic. So they rely on the Radeon, especially with DRM for decent 2D -- again, not even 3D, but just 2D performance. - CUSTOMER IMPACT AND FEDORA 15: I am not product management (just consulting), and I am only offering this as "useful imformation" (my statements do *NOT* represent any considerations inside of Red Hat). But given the fact that X1200 series is in the AMD 690 and the 55nm TSMC die-shinks like the 740/760 (among others), it is probably AMD's most fabbed, integrated GPU logic set ever. As such, I would make sure this is not a continuing issue with Fedora 15. I.e., I would recommend this issue be addressed and tested with several X1200 netbooks/notebooks during Fedora 15. Again, the issue (possible regression) may very well be upstream.

Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
