Gnome font sizes incorrect when using radeonhd driver
Last modified: 2018-04-11 08:25:29 EDT
Description of problem: When using the radeonhd Xorg driver and logging into Gnome fonts are not the correct size. I need to go to System->Preferences->Appearance and as soon as that window opens up all fonts revert to their correct size. This does not occur when using the radeon driver Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 11 (Unchecked on 10) How reproducible: Everytime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Adjust font sizes from the default Gnome values. For instance, decrease them. 1. Setup xorg.conf to use radeonhd driver. 2. Login to Gnome. 3. See font sizes are using the Gnome default sizes. 4. Open up Appearance preferences and see fonts revert to correctly set sizes. Additional info: xorg.conf is attached.
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/ .

Hi, this may be closed. Can't reproduce this issue in F12 and so far the radeonhd driver apears to be working fine. Thanks.
