xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.x86_64 1:0.0.16-27.20110720gitb806e3f.fc16 This is the version of the nouveau I missed before. The Laptop is a HP DV6000. I am not sure if this bug has been viewed by anyone who could acknowledge it? I believe one of my machines is suffering the same issue. I've taken a couple of screenshots of my desktop after logging in: http://www.sanslogic.co.uk/files/gnomeshell-bug1.png http://www.sanslogic.co.uk/files/gnomeshell-bug2.png Using driver: xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-27.20110720gitb806e3f.fc16.x86_64 The video chip is an onboard nvidia: nVidia Corporation C68 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] (rev a2) (In reply to comment #3) > I believe one of my machines is suffering the same issue.

It is on a friends machine and as such I cannot get the specifics on Video Hardware. I am pleased that you have posted here. Is your problem intermittent or constant? Mine can change between logons. Cheers... Robert Every time so far. I've noticed these in the logs, possibly unrelated: Jan 2 16:18:49 spooky kernel: [ 26.756171] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:12.0: fail t tm_validate Jan 2 16:18:49 spooky kernel: [ 26.756178] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:12.0: valida te vram_list Jan 2 16:18:49 spooky kernel: [ 26.756184] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:12.0: valida te: -12 Spoke too soon, after a power cut the machine loaded gnome-shell fine. There are no visual glitches at all this time. The nouveau log messages I included in my last comment are still present.

My problem is intermittent, so see if it returns over the next while. Strong winds overnight knocked the power off, when I switched it on again the next morning gnome-shell was working fine. I've since rebooted it and the glitches are back. So it is definitely intermittent. Yes. My friends machine is OK sometimes, but unreliable. Thanks for confirming that. I cannot confirm the messages log as I do not have access to the machine but when I get access I will check. Cheers... One thing that I noticed, that is perplexing, is that the Top Panel is OK at the Login page. This I understand is the Gnome Display Manager and not the Desktop Manager, but it is interesting that the Login Screen renders OK and the Desktop does not. I was unable to find any error messages with regards to 'nouveau' on my friends laptop. Where exactly did you find those messages? I ran all updates up to yesterday and still no joy. Hope this issue will get resolved soon. I have discovered what the one common ingredient is when the Top Panel borks. It only borks on machines with nVidia Video cards and not on ATI. I thought that F16 could run from one basic install on either Video Card Manufacturer's cards but I am wrong. It cannot. Hi I was able to recreate this condition on a Desktop with a nVidia Corp nv34 [GEForce FX 5500] (rev a1). Hopefully this can help with your endeavors...
