Screenshot of corrupted glxgears window

Description of problem:
When launching glxgears, the application window appears but it only shows green flashes on a black background.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.1-8.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start GNOME session.
2. Launch 'glxgears'.
  
Actual results:
glxgears shows green flashes on a black background.

Expected results:
glxgears shows turning gears.

Additional info:
- Gears are rendered correctly when kernel modesetting is enabled albeit
  only at about 1300 fps instead of about 3500 fps.
- Installed packages include:
  * kernel-2.6.29.1-54.fc11.x86_64
  * mesa-*-7.5-0.8.fc11.x86_64
  * xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.1-8.fc11.x86_64
  * xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.0-17.fc11.x86_64

Radeon X550 Xorg.0.log

my system behaves identically.

glxgears works (though slowly) only if "nomodeset" is NOT specified.

x86-64 system with all latest rawhide updates (15 April 2009)

Radeon X550 PCI express.

Comment 3 Joachim Frieben 2009-04-15 05:11:43 UTC
To be more clear, other GL applications like screensavers are affected, too.

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 13:25:00 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Comment 5 Joachim Frieben 2009-09-09 05:10:24 UTC
For current F11 w/updates including packages
- kernel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586
- mesa-*-7.6-0.1.fc11.i586
- xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-18.fc11.i586
- xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.3-4.fc11.i586
"glxgears" works as expected.
