Description of problem: On a fully updated F15 system with an ATI Radeon X800 (R430) video card, selecting "Activities > Applications" in the GNOME shell opens a black rectangle without any application icons. After selecting a sub-category, application icons are rendered correctly. The GNOME shell was launched from the command line, and there, a probably related error message occurs: r300 FP: Compiler Error: r300_fragprog_emit.c::emit_alu(): Too many ALU instructions Using a dummy shader instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mesa-7.10-0.27.fc15 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch GNOME shell. 2. Open "Activities > Applications". Actual results: Black rectangle instead of application icons. Expected results: Application icons placed on a rectangular grid. Additional info: The "black rectangle effect" has only appeared after updating to the latest GNOME 3 builds including packages: - clutter-1.6.8-1.fc15 - gnome-shell-2.91.91-1.fc15 - mutter-2.91.91-1.fc15

Could we output of the command dmesg after this happens and you recover back to the working conditions, please? Thank you

A backport of mesa-7.11-0.20110315.0.fc16 resolves this issue.
The fix for this has been landed upstream, but it hasn't been released yet so far.
There should be hopefully new release of gnome-shell next week.
Fixed by today's bunch of packages pushed to updates-testing including: - gnome-shell-2.91.92-1.fc15 - mutter-2.91.92-1.fc15 - mesa-7.10.1-1.fc15
