Description Chris Evans 2005-04-10 16:19:21 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1

Description of problem:
The update causes my 1024x768x24bpp display on my Toshiba
Tecra laptop to go "fuzzy". It's hard to describe any
better - it's as if all the rendering is dithered
(poorly).
Reverting the update back to xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.21
fixes things straight away.
Chipset is detected as: GeForce FX Go5200 32M/64M


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the update.
2. Restart X.
3. Fuzzy screen.

This sounds like a video driver issue.  If you're using the "nv" driver,
only the driver maintainer can fix bugs of this nature as Nvidia does not
provide technical specifications for their hardware to the community.

Please file a bug report in X.Org bugzilla to track this issue,
which is located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component.

Once you've filed your report to X.Org, if you paste the URL here,
Red Hat will track the issue in X.Org bugzilla with upstream developers,
and will review any fixes that become available for potential inclusion
in future Fedora Core updates.

Setting status to "NEEDINFO", awaiting upstream bug URL for tracking.

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2005-05-16 22:46:32 UTC
Try the latest xorg-x11 from rawhide, and if the problem still exists,
and you're still interested in Red Hat tracking the problem for future
updates to Fedora Core, please follow the suggestion in comment #1
above for filing a bug report in X.Org bugzilla.  This will ensure
that the official driver maintainer is aware of the issue, and can
investigate it and potentially fix it if it is still a problem in
the latest release.

Thanks in advance.

Setting status to "RAWHIDE".
