Description Volans 2009-11-24 01:07:19 UTC
Description of problem:

While I rotate the 3D cube in compiz, the open windows either become black, or they loose the menu.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.8.2-19.fc12

How reproducible:

Just change workspace or rotate the cube using the Ctrl+Alt+mouse movement.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

The windows get black or loose the menu. The gnome panels may become also black.

Expected results:

The windows get black or loose the menu. The gnome panels may become also black.


Additional info:

This problem didn't exist in Fedora 10. It showed up on Fedora 11 and now goes on on Fedora 12.

It only happens while rotating the cube or changing workspace. Once you let the cube go, everything returns to normal.

Comment 10 Adel Gadllah 2009-11-24 21:46:05 UTC
Looks like a driver bug.

Comment 11 Volans 2009-11-24 23:11:15 UTC
Whatever the problem is, it showed up on Fedora 11 and now moved to Fedora 12. In Fedora 10 it worked fine. :)

Comment 12 Jérôme Glisse 2009-11-26 15:40:44 UTC
Please attach fedora 12 dmesg & xorg log thanks

Comment 13 Hamidou Dia 2009-11-26 18:51:33 UTC
Hi Jerome.

Volans already attached the fedora 12 Xorgs and dmesg logs.

I am reattaching them changing appending the .txt extension in the case it is what you want.

Hi Jerome.

Bugzilla provides an option to convert stream octet to txt.
It is done.

Please check the attachments section .

If you need something else please let us know.

I am also seeing this bug, and have already raised it in freedesktop.org's bugzilla:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25883

Comment 16 Chris Rankin 2010-01-29 09:01:02 UTC
The latest Mesa 7.7-3 packages mean that my gnome-terminals no longer turn black when I rotate the compiz cube. (Well, not yet anyway.) However, the entire desktop is now "cast in shadow" until the cube settles again instead. I have filed screenshots with FDO bug 25883:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=32886 

This "shadow" can change colour too: after waking the terminal up from DPMS "off", at one time the shadow became a lighter grey, and another time it became pink! Logging out and logging in again restored the "dark shadow" behaviour.

Comment 17 Chris Rankin 2010-03-16 00:55:55 UTC
The "dark-out" still happens with my rv280 when I rotate the compiz cube. This is with the Linux 2.6.33.1 kernel and the Mesa 7.7-4 packages.

Comment 18 Michal Schmidt 2010-04-14 23:19:58 UTC
I hit the same problem while going through http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_radeon_glx on today's Radeon Test Day with current F13:

ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200] (rev 01)

kernel-2.6.33.2-46.fc13.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-1.fc13.x86_64
mesa-dri-drivers-7.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.8.0-1.fc13.x86_64

Comment 19 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 05:33:33 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: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 20 Chris Rankin 2010-11-04 22:14:56 UTC
Yes, this bug still exists in Fedora 13.

Comment 21 Chris Rankin 2010-11-05 08:54:09 UTC
Actually, this bug still exists in Fedora 14 as well. (With symptoms as described now in Comment 16.)
