Description Vasiliy Sharapov 2016-10-04 06:08:40 UTC
Filed from caserun (https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/289603/#caserun_13279407)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.3-20160914.1
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.17.2-22.el7.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.6.1-3.20160215gitd41fccc.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-506.el7.x86_64
linux-firmware-20160830-49.git7534e19.el7.noarch
package mesa is not installed
mesa-dri-drivers-11.2.2-2.20160614.el7.x86_64
package xorg-x11-glamor is not installed

Steps to Reproduce: 
 1. execute xrandr and check your native resolution (marked with +)



 1. change resolution: $ xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 640x480
 2. change resolution back to native via xrandr command



Actual results: 
Technically no bug as dictated by our test case but the interpolation is awful for this whole range of resolutions:
1680x1050
1400x1050
1280x1024
1440x900
1280x960
1280x854
1280x800
1280x720 <-- If you have to pick one, this is the worst.
1152x768
For example black-on-white text has horizontal white lines running through it.
This may be an issue with the prototype HW we have for testing - I don't know since I've never seen this issue. If interpolation is up to the display then I guess this is definitely not a bug.

Expected results:
screen should be changed to 640x480 and back to native resolution

The 7710 is made of pure evil and cannot be trusted. Please check https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1381286#c2 and do that first before I look into this.

I'll bring it to Boston office for you. =)
