Description of problem: Sometimes when switching to graphical mode (either manually from a terminal via alt-f7, or automatically whenever the server is started or reset), the display appears corrupted. Specifically, certain colors get messed up. The white "f" part of the fedora logo turns black, desktop icon names have noisy black/white borders. Manually switching to text mode and back usually cures the issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.0.2-2.fc7 How reproducible: about 1 time in 20 Steps to Reproduce: 1. switch to a text console (alt-f1) then back to the graphical mode (alt-f7) 2. 3. Actual results: Certain colors are wonky. Expected results: Additional info: Xorg.0.log attached. This can also happen whenever the server is started, either when booting into level 5, or when the server is restarted after a session logout, or when the server is restarted via alt-backspace. This is a clean install of F7 on hardware (GeForce 6200) that worked normally under FC6.

Looks interesting -- could we get /etc/X11/xorg.conf as well? What happens when you have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and you restart X? (BTW, for airlied, whom I am going to assign this bug, we've got reproduction of this bug from a developer in the Brno office).
I don't think this is anything to do with configuration. It looks more like the palette is getting stomped either on EnterVT or LeaveVT.
Yep, there is probably some problem in the code. I'm observing the same with my GeForce 6200. For the record, my config is Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nv" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection

Jack?
Created attachment 217771 [details] trivial xorg.conf Sorry for the hit and run -- somehow BZ emails weren't getting to me until this morning. Attached my xorg.conf, but it's trivial. Also, this problem is sometimes triggered by gnome-screensaver's fade-to-black, even if it gets interrupted by pressing a key before blanking completely. Also, when the problem is active, if I run a small program which changes video mode to 8-bit and then changes back on exit, the problem is cleared.
Created attachment 217801 [details] server log for no-configfile case It took me 5 minutes to confirm that the problem occurs without any xorg.conf file. Log attached.
This seems to be fixed for nv in F8. (It happens for nouveau on F8 instead.) Close as nextrelease?
