Description Luke Benstead 2016-10-14 12:58:25 UTC
Description of problem:

After upgrade to Fedora 25 Beta I'm seeing severe screen corruption which shows up as flicking (sometimes windows seem to jitter) and random flashing/flicking across they desktop, particularly in the menus. 

This shows up under both Wayland and X and on both the login screen and in GNOME (both classic and normal).

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


How reproducible:

Consistent.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Fedora 25 on a Dell XPS 13 (Haswell)


Actual results:

Graphics corruption, leaving session unusable

Expected results:

Usable session

Comment 1 Luke Benstead 2016-10-14 13:01:58 UTC
Here's the output of lspci:

lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)


Can't see anything obvious in the logs.

Comment 2 Luke Benstead 2016-10-14 13:56:35 UTC
Problem shows up in both the 4.8.1 kernel, and also the 4.7.7 kernel from Fedora 24 - which would imply it's something to do with the updated driver in Fedora 25 and not the kernel.

Comment 3 Kaare Fiedler Christiansen 2017-03-27 05:17:12 UTC
I believe this is a duplicate of #1397623.

Note the fix in comment 7 by Julian Sikorski:
"The problem can be fixed by removing CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling from /etc/environment"

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:25:44 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

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.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:57:37 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 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. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
