Description of problem:Everything on my screen seems to leave trailing shadows, and this isn't limited to fedora 13, but fedora 12, ubuntu etc, when i am not using the fglrx driver. One time when using ubuntu 9.10 i installed backfill packages to remove the minimize, maximize lag with fglrx driver, then too these artefacts appeared. First i thought it was my card, but i never noticed anything like this in windows 7. Also this effect starts and goes away randomly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): card : ati 3650 hd os : fedora 13 x86_64 How reproducible: Its a totally random behaviour. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Created attachment 404372 [details] screenshot of the shadow effect
Could you please boot with the following kernel parameter: drm.debug=15 and attach both /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/dmesg to this bug as uncompressed text/plain separate files. Also I do not see the trailing shadows in the attached screenshot. Could you please upload another showing the exact problem? Could you tell us if you feel it is a refresh problem, as in when a window goes over another one and damages its content? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

Also i want to point out sometimes even the plymouth theme shows this behaviour. I will try and provide some digicam pics for it.
Thanks for the logs. Yes, pictures would help. I will keep the bug in NEEDMOREINFO mode until then. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
it seems as if the bug has evaporated. it used to show up so often, but now its completely gone, i don't understand no updates nothing but its not showing up again. i am so so sorry for wasting your precious time. i will provide more info as soon as it shows up again.
Saurabh, Thanks for letting us know. I am closing your report as INSUFFICIENT_DATA but feel free to reopen it if you can reproduce. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
