Description Chitlesh GOORAH 2009-11-07 21:14:44 UTC
Description of problem:
On F-12 with latest updates, gnome has some rendering issues with using default driver set by fedora. This forces me to restart my session every 5 minutes because the fonts become unreadable. see attachment. I have to set driver vesa in order to use my gnome session.

Comment 8 Jérôme Glisse 2009-11-09 15:30:24 UTC
Chitlesh were you using any GL apps at the time the corruption show up ? Does adding radeon.agpmode=-1 to kernel command line fix the issue ? I am not sure your bug is a duplicate of 529081.

Comment 9 Chitlesh GOORAH 2009-11-09 16:21:53 UTC
Well I don't think neither. Hence reopening the bug.

There  were 2 issues:

1) font rendering issue : which appeared to be solved with yesterday's update

2) this black windows issue with gnome shell.

@Jerome, no I was not using any GL apps except trying to launch gnome-shell

radeon.agpmode=-1 doesn't help for this black GTK windows issue. 


On trying compiz from desktop-effects, I have the following on the console:

chitlesh(~)[0]$desktop-effects 
gtk-window-decorator: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager.
compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: /usr/share/pixmaps/fedora-logo
Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.
compiz (core) - Error: Plugin 'text' not loaded.

compiz (group) - Warn: No compatible text plugin loaded.
drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -22. Kernel failed to parse or rejected command stream. See dmesg for more info.
Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.



Also I don't have any window decorator when trying to launch compiz from desktop-effects's gui.

Comment 10 Jérôme Glisse 2009-11-12 18:48:27 UTC
So the font rendering issue is back ? Does font are rerender properly if you minimize the window and remaximize it after ?

Comment 11 Chitlesh GOORAH 2009-11-19 11:54:17 UTC
The font rendering issue has been fixed. However the gnome-shell blackness is still there.

Comment 13 Jérôme Glisse 2010-01-13 16:54:56 UTC
Do you still have the blackness issue with lastest fedora 12 packages ? Also do you have desktop effect actived ? Does it happens if desktop effect are turned of ?

I'm not using gnome shell, but issues described in Bug 540087 (which was closed as duplicate of this one) still persist with latest packages from updates-testing. This happens with both desktop effects turned on or off.

I get the same bug as reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=576603
Adding "radeon.modeset=0" fix the problem.

Comment 22 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 06:43:15 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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:

Comment 27 Bug Zapper 2010-12-04 03:27:43 UTC
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
