Description of problem: I am a longtime FC user (and fan). Upgraded to FC5 from FC4 (which ran pretty much flawlessly) because I wanted a driver for a new printer that I just couldn't get for FC4. FC5 is a disappointment on many levels. Mainly, the graphics are flaky, esp. on web browsing, but also in system modules (esp. KDE) This could be (a) an HTML engine rendering problem; (b) a KDE problem; (c) an X server problem; (d) a problem with the driver for my monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 712N) or graphics driver (ProSavage8 VT8375). I am not sure. Often graphics on a web page will be mucked up with fragments of other elements on the page or on the desktop. And on KDE system modules or konqueror file manager, i.e. tabs or other elements, will look screwy, with lines, crosshatchings or other odd graphic elements obscuring the element. This behavior is consistent under all desktop themes and templates. This results also in mozilla, firefox, or seamonkey browsers, as well as in the konqueror web browser. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Log in to KDE desktop and any browser or system module. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Messed-up graphics, as described above. Expected results: Clean rendering Additional info:
I reported bug #186763 which happens only on one of my older machines and which I later decided was due to a hardware problem. Does the image attached to that bug look like what you're experiencing?
