I also opened bureport:

Bug 683911 - amd hd5670 does not pass all rendercheck tests

Performed a yum update & reboot, it is still there.

New versions:

xorg-x11-drv-ati.x86_64       6.14.0-5.20110204gita27b5dbd9.fc15 
kdebase-workspace.x86_64      4.6.1-3.fc15
xorg-x11-server-Xorg.x86_64   1.10.0-3.fc15

Well, i found that the described here 'corruption' is also present in
a nvidia card, so it is not radeon specific. I installed F15 Alpha on 
another spare machine (an old S757 AMD64)
I did not see the corruption in my Wind U100 (intel).

Also, from MORE frequent to LESS frequent:

DE Off
DE OpenGL / DE XRender


Affected cards:

PCIe, AM3 PhenomII ASUS box:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Redwood [Radeon HD 5670] [1002:68d8]

Onboard, S754 Athon64 MSI box:
00:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation C51G [GeForce 6100] [10de:0242] (rev a2)

I should have tested it but i was busy with other bugs also, but better late
than never.

Tested with enlightenment and i did not see the 'corruption / artifacts'.

I dont have gnome, but maybe xfce will do, i will test it.
I will test the other machine and test also other wm, but it seems kde specific.
Being kde specific may explain it happenning the same way in both nouveau/radeon (?why not intel??).

The 'corruption' seems to have nearly dissapeared, The is still some minor problem when ATL+F2 in KDE and typing a program name for the first time and very fast.

I only tested the machine with the redwood (radon hd5670), with the following:

xorg-x11-drv-ati.x86_64      6.14.0-7.20110316gitcdfc007ec.fc15
kdebase-workspace.x86_64     4.6.1-6.fc15
xorg-x11-server-Xorg.x86_64  1.10.0-7.fc15

The issue still remains. The longer the uptime and the less the issue manifests.
Generally doing something for the first time triggers it the most.

I only speak for radeon, since it is the only card i do use.

The issue still remains.

kdebase-workspace.x86_64   4.6.3-5.fc15                                 
xorg-x11-drv-ati.x86_64    6.14.1-1.20110504gita6d2dba6.fc15
xorg-x11-server-Xorg.x86_64 1.10.1-14.fc15 

VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Redwood [Radeon
HD 5670] [1002:68d8]

It has been a while since i have seen the corruption. I think it was solved/corrected incrementally some time ago (i do not remember when). Let's give some more time before closing the bug-report.

I did not see the issue for a long time.
I did not see the issue with F17 (alpha,beta,rc,release).
I am currently using F17. (No more F15).

I belive that this bugreport can be closed safely. Please close.
