Created attachment 338221 [details] Screenshots of broken KWin effects Desktop effects works just fine in Gnome, but KWin effects seems to be broken. The only things that are visible is window shadows and windows that are changed (moved or resized). Rest of the windows content is flickering (ie random parts appear for a moment). There's no new entries in /var/log/messages, Xorg0 nor kdm.log. Had no opportunity to test it before 6.12 release but such behavior is present in any release from official alpha. My current packages are: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.1-4.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.0-16.fc11.i586 libdrm-2.4.5-3.fc11.i586 mesa-libGLU-7.3-12.fc11.i586 * mesa-dri-drivers-7.3-12.fc11.i586 * mesa-libGL-7.3-12.fc11.i586 * * - I downgraded mesa packages to test other problems I had with OpenGL in 3D apps. This change has no effect on kwin, in both cases (mesa 7.3 and 7.5) problem persist.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

There's something strange about kwin effects, far all new users composite is broken as shown on attached picture. But today I've copied my user dir from my production system (Fedora 10) to F11 and composite started to work! It's terribly slow and there are problems with transparency but at least I can see content of the windows. Also dropdown lists seems to be not working (click has no effect, I have to use scroll). I've switched to XRender and things start to behave correctly (ie no probs with transparency and lists) swiched back to OpenGL and minor issues were back but KDE is still usable. What puzzles me, is a fact that KWin composite works fine on Intel gfx, so it should be driver related problem, but if it's radeon driver then why using settings from F10 partially solves the problem? Mystery to me??
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Updating MESA to 7.6 fixed the issue. KWin composite works ok. The only problem is performance, it's a bit slow. Tasks like flipping trough menus cause severe CPU load increase. But considering the driver is fresh I can say things are progressing pretty well. :)
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing' Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD . Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you. If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. [This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
With latest updates on top of my F11 box I can't reproduce bug anymore.
(In reply to comment #14) > With latest updates on top of my F11 box I can't reproduce bug anymore. The only problem is serious performance downgrade, which I have noticed after system restart (with nomodeset option)
Thank you for letting us know.
