/var/log/Xorg.0.log

Description of problem: Gnome desktop has bad graphics in the full-screen title bar.  Often there are 8 full-width horizontal stripes (each about 2.5 pixels tall) with alternating colors: even stripes in light color, odd stripes in a related dark color.  Icons have 1-pixel tall horizontal stripes, often alternating one raster white, one raster black.  Individual characters in text (user name, day-of-week, time, etc.) sometimes are OK, sometimes are scrambled like icons.  The machine name in the gdm greeter panel (before login) is similarly bad, although other text (user name, "Password", "Session...") is OK.

screen photo, upper left corner

This photo of the upper left corner of the screen shows the horizontal stripes in the menu bar and the bad rendering of text for "Activities" and "Terminal".

Comment 3 Adam Jackson 2011-12-07 17:12:08 UTC
I'm confused.  You shouldn't be seeing gnome-shell at all, you're still using the r200 driver.  What does glxinfo say?

glxinfo

This is what "glxinfo" says from a Terminal under XFCE session.

Under GNOME, I cannot get a Terminal with which to run glxinfo.  Applications > Favorites > Terminal [click] does nothing.  Applications > "te\r" [searching for a Terminal application, then invoking via <Enter>] draws the 1-pixel black outline of the Terminal window and the shadow around it, but does not clear the terminal pane: the background wallpaper (ice cave, floes, vehicle with search light) remains.

Comment 5 John Reiser 2011-12-07 18:40:51 UTC
Blindly typing "glxinfo >/tmp/foo" into the Terminal under GNOME, the output is the same as  attachment 542093 [details]  from Comment #4, except:
  $ diff glxinfo.out foo   ## < XFCE : > GNOME
  1c1
  < name of display: :0.0
