re-verified: no xorg.conf config file.
Your X log contains: [ 29.052] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.3.2-8.fc17.x86_64 root=UUID=e530db56-a389-48cb-94cc-5eeb9f44b4f6 ro rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 SYSFONT=True KEYTABLE=sv-latin1 rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 nomodeset Pretty sure 'nomodeset' there is the problem. You probably needed it to install F16. It's still a bit weird since vesa shouldn't fail like that, but can you try removing 'nomodeset' from the upgraded-to-F17 machine? Actually I added that as a response to feedback from #fedora-qa after the upgrade. So, nomodeset doesn't make a difference on my updated system. I have some photos of the screen for you if you want to see the corruption. It seems very strange to me that removing nomodeset would have no effect, since it should switch you to using the radeon driver instead of vesa. What does the X log look like when you boot without nomodeset? Hmm, Should it really? I thought the radeon driver didn't support the 7970 cards yet. Hmm, Should it really?

cat /proc/cmdline; dmesg; lspci -vv ; cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Attached are the logs again. nomodeset is definitely removed.
I had to modprobe the radeon driver manually, before starting X, and that did not change anything either. Created attachment 581458 [details]

This is from a *non corrupted* Fedora 17 live DVD, graphics work, no corruptions (only enabling one screen in X, but I can live with that)

Okay, I was wrong, radeon doesn't support your card yet. Which really only makes this weirder. Does the upgraded machine still have an older copy of mesa on it perhaps? There's been some changes to how software 3d does texture pitch which might show up like this. I'll have to reinstall F16 and then F17 to try ( Due to the unworkable graphics on the updated F16>17 install, I gave up and wiped it for a fresh installation.)
However, I have reproduced the graphics corruption with the _live DVD_ image of F17.
The fresh installed version of F17 is still, however, working.

I'll try and get a live-dvd corruption proof, logs, ( /proc/cmdline, dmesg /var/log/{Xorg.*,messages} rpm -qa
Any other information you need?
Fun fact. Default firefox window size and maximized both give working results. Resizing the Firefox window will cause corrupton. This means that Comment 11 is _wrong_ AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaargh. This is turning to one of those hellishly hard to reproduce bugs for me. The Live DVD no longer causes corrupt graphics. I'll see about doing an upgrade and comparing package-lists in the weekend. Sorry for the noise, this is starting to frustrate me. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 579699 [details] screenshot, garbled. Description of problem: All X windows that aren't fullscreen (gnome shell maximized) get corrupted. This manifests in dropdowns, menus, and all other windows. When resizing to certain sizes things that appear to be close to the window content appears. The LiveDVD does _NOT_ have this error, neither did a _fresh_ install of Fedora 17. However, an _upgraded_ version of F17 has this bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F17 beta. How reproducible: All users ( including a user with a completely wiped home directory) shows this bug. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 16 2. upgrade to F17 3. start computer
