Description of problem: Using "compiz" on my desktop systen sporting an "Radeon 7200 PCI (R100)" graphics card, the screen is essentially corrupted. The right third of the screen exhibits a random bluish patter which is probably somehow related to the chosen "Blue type" background. The "GNOME" panels are visible with drop shadows but without any icons; they are simply grey bars stretching horizontally over 2/3 of the visible screen. Moreover, it's not possible to access any menu. Similarly, no icon is shown on the desktop. However, upon clicking the right mouse button, it is possible to open a new folder and access already existing folders, too. In this way, a "GNOME Terminal" window can be opened and moved. It exhibits visual effects such as drop shadows, wobbling, and transparency. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz-0.0.13-0.16.20060817git.fc6 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in "GNOME" session. Actual results: The desktop is rendered, but it is partially corrupted, and the panels are rendered grey only and do not respond. Expected results: A functional "GNOME" desktop is displayed. Additional info: Apart from the current issue, hardware rendering works nicely for the affected "R100" chip. In particular, "OpenGL" screen savers are fully operational when hardware rendering is active. The system corresponds to "FC6T2 plus numerous "rawhide" updates including current: "xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-24.fc6", "mesa-*-6.5-22.20060818cvs.fc6", and "compiz-0.0.13-0.16.20060817git.fc6".
The "drirc" file provided by K. Høgsberg in: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-August/msg00786.html resolves the issue. After adding this file, the desktop is rendered correctly with all compositing effects (apart from a system lock-up when the desktop effects get again disabled (bug 203707)). It might be worth considering adding this "drirc" file somehow to the standard setup. Moreover, this would allow to get rid of these annoying "mesa" complaints about "/etc/drirc" or "$HOME/.drirc" missing!
This is a known problem and we're trying to come up with a better solution than the /etc/drirc file.

Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.

I have had the possibility to install current F9 w/updates on the test system equipped with a Radeon R100 QD [Radeon 7200] being connected to an HP A4576A running at 1400x1050@24bpp. Desktop effcts now work as expected across the entire screen.

Works for me also with F9, 1400x1050@24bpp, but performance is so slow that it is not usable. With F7 I could run the same resolution, but at 16bpp and the response was great. Under F9, if I try running at 16bpp Desktop Effects cannot be enabled. Changing to 24bpp allows them to be enabled, but the desktop response is too slow to be used.

Check you Xorg.0.log file: (II) RADEON(0): Max desktop size set to 2048x1200 (II) RADEON(0): For a larger or smaller max desktop size, add a Virtual line to your xorg.conf (II) RADEON(0): If you are having trouble with 3D, reduce the desktop size by adjusting the Virtual line to your xorg.conf After setting "Virtual 1408 1056", even the workspace cube is usable for me.
