Description Alessandro Pedarra 2011-06-06 19:15:35 UTC
Description of problem:
The shell get corrupted when running with nVidia proprietary drivers. The graphic card is GT 430.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Gnome 3.0.1

How reproducible:
Install nVidia proprietary drivers. Use the desktop, open normal applications, install applications, suspend the system and resume.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install nVidia propietary drivers.
2. The problem happens randomly. Normally it could freeze when using the system, and corrupt the desktop when resuming from suspension.
  
Actual results:
The desktop corrupt itself and, more rarely, the GUI freeze.

Expected results:
The GUI must not freeze and the desktop must not get corrupted when the computer resume from suspension.

The graphic corruptions of the GUI happens with 'fallback mode' too, haven't experienced freeze with it yet.

I had this problem until updating to nvidia 275.09.07 that resolved the suspend / resume corruption for me (Nvidia G210M). Now, Gnome 3 goes into fallback instead. How's yours?

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-06 20:03:42 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. 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Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.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.
