lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" direct rendering: Yes Yet, I seem to be able to run compiz, mutter, gnome-shell, or any app requiring 3D. The desktop in general feels sluggish too (at 1024x768). Is this a known problem with the RV100?
Correction to the above paragraph: I seem to be *unable* to run compiz, mutter, gnome-shell, etc.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach * your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), * X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) * output of the dmesg command, and * system log (/var/log/messages) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. Would running demos from mesa-demos (try all of them until they fail, or teapot or fire are the bigger ones) generate some more interesting messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or dmesg output? We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Created attachment 476219 [details] requested log files I do not use a xorg.conf These are the logs as they are on a fresh startup. I installed the mesa demos package with yum, but I don't know how to run them. Note that running glxgears only gets 90-100 fps, with 100% CPU usage.

They are not in $PATH, so you have to run them directly with full path, e.g.: /usr/lib/mesa/teapot (try other programs in the same directory as well)
I ran teapot, fire, tunnel, tunnel2, glxheads. No crashes, but the apps ran at ~9 to 12 fps. Nothing new shows up in the various logs attached above.
What exactly happens when you run desktop-effects from terminal?
Compiz = white screen with only the mouse cursor, and after a few seconds it deactivates because I obviously cannot confirm to desktop-effects that the settings are "correct" GNOME Shell = corrupt graphics, and after a while it simply crashes and returns me to gdm (possibly because desktop effects tried to kill it).

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Old hardware be damned.
