No development is done on the old Radeon driver and we don't ship it in Fedora; if it has bugs, we really don't care either within the Mesa context or the context of GNOME Shell. (The bugs would be driver bugs, not GNOME Shell bugs.) |
Description of problem: Due to issues with the R300 Gallium driver, I have rebuilt mesa-7.10-0.29.fc15 without the R300 Gallium driver, thus using the standard R300 TCL DRI2 driver. However, in this case, gnome-shell does not work properly. The shell appears as expected, but when clicking "Activities" in the panel then it disappears, and the following error message is appended to .xsession-errors: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (nm-applet:1662): libnotify-WARNING **: Failed to connect to proxy Window manager warning: Log level 32: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" ** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area radeonSetSpanFunctions: bad format: 0x0002 radeonSetSpanFunctions: bad format: 0x0002 ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area gnome-shell-calendar-server[1892]: Got HUP on stdin - exiting Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" JS LOG: Cannot create "Network" item, .desktop file not found or corrupt. JS LOG: GNOME Shell started at Sat Mar 19 2011 15:26:08 GMT+0100 (CET) GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "GetServerInformation" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.Notifications" doesn't exist ** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The relevant entry appears to be "radeonSetSpanFunctions: bad format: 0x0002". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-2.91.91-2.fc15 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start gnome-shell in conjunction with the R300 TCL DRI2 driver. 2. Click panel. Actual results: Panel disappears for a moment without opening "Activities". Expected results: Panel works as expected. Additional info: Despite the non-standard use of the R300 TCL DRI2 driver, I think this issue is of general relevance because there is no obvious reason why gnome-shell would require the R300 Gallium driver to work.
