Created attachment 427789 [details] xorg.log from session with updated (broken) package Description of problem: Latest xorg upgrade caused very poor performance, including tearing of windows, slow updates of large screen areas, graphics corruption of unfocussed windows. Downgrading to 1.8.0-12 fixed the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.8.0-17.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: Rebooted system a couple of times just to check - GDM login screen is affected as is Gnome session. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update xorg-x11-xserver-Xorg to 1.8.0-17 via yum update 2. Restart X 3. Observe poor graphics performance Actual results: Graphics corruption and slow redraws. Expected results: X ought to work just as well as before, if not even better Additional info:

I yum updated to xorg-x11-server-Xorg 1.8.0-17, then rebooted adding drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel line. Once I got to GDM I switched to a VT and got the files requested. I've also attached a screenshot of the graphics corruption in a gnome session.
This is still an issue with latest xorg-X11-server-Xorg 1.8.2-2.
Works fine in F14 / Xorg 1.9
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'. 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 13'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 13 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
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.
