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.]
Now tested with Fedora 12 and the X11 screen and console are still one line down. Workaround ---------- Go to System -> Preferences -> Display on desktop and change display frequency to another setting. The screen is then aligned correctly. Events that trigger the screen to move one line down ----------------------------------------------------- 1. Initial start up - log in screen is one line down 2. Switch to console (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and back to X11 3. Start Totem 4. Start Internet Explorer using Wine 5. Wake X11 after screen saver activated
Now tested with kernel-2.6.33.1-21.fc13 and the workaround no longer works. The display image is permanently down by one line. Please change to high priority.
Now tested with graphics_test_201009-i686.iso and still present. Unfortunately non of the work arounds that could be used in F12 and before work. There is now a period judder of the screen every few seconds and in F14 Alpha a notification kept appearing saying it could not set the virtual desktop size to 1,1. This bug has stopped me upgrading from F12.
Thanks, Al, bumping to 14 then. "in F14 Alpha a notification kept appearing saying it could not set the virtual desktop size to 1,1." this was a separate, unrelated bug. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Tested with gfx_test_week_20110221_i386.iso and bug still there. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679366 seems related.
Tested with F15 and still present
Dowloaded latest Nouveau drivers from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6 and framebuffer console is properly aligned and no flicker. CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING compile option was set. So looking promising from upstream.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
