Description of problem: After using computer for some time, display becomes corrupted. Sometimes minor, often major (about 50% of screen pixels garbage). Also happens, not nearly to the same extent, on my work machine (F14, different AMD video card, also radeon driver). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F15 latest packages as of Sept 15, 2011 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.4-1.fc15.x86_64 mesa-dri-drivers-7.11-1.fc15.x86_64 kernel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64 kdebase-workspace-4.6.5-5.fc15.x86_64 (not sure what else to provide; please ask) How reproducible: So far, have not been able to use machine for more than a few hours without experiencing issue. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use computer Sorry, don't know a specific trigger, except it is pretty well guaranteed to happen after using the machine for a while. (Running OpenGL programs and/or opening lots of graphics-intensive web pages in Konqueror seems to help. One of my KDE sessions - albeit one I am not at liberty to share - with a dozen or so Konqueror tabs remembered in the session, triggers the issue virtually on login.) Additional info: Logs/smolt/etc. will follow. Have tried XAA with no effect. X does not start with either AccelDFS=off or DRI=off. Using KDE/kwin with compositing. (Apologies for wrong component; xorg-x11-drv-[video-]radeon doesn't exist??)
Created attachment 523433 [details] example corruption Here's an example... this is from a test user login, and is VERY minor corruption compared to what I see in my main user login.

I do seem able to reproduce this somewhat 'on demand' by, as previously mentioned, opening a bunch of image-heavy web pages in tabs in Konqueror. Perhaps creating lots of X pixmaps is related? Logging out temporarily fixes the problem. Changing my widget style from Oxygen to Plastique and back again got rid of some of the artifacts. Some notes from playing with xrestop... - I started xrestop when I was having issues; pixmap memory at about 50M. - Closed some konqueror tabs; memory down to about 40M. - Restarted kwin, changed widget style, refreshed some web pages... managed to get rid of most artifacts. - Fiddled around until pixmap memory rose to about 67M ...and wham, I'm starting to see non-trivial artifacts. Hopefully that's helpful! I realize I don't know the relevant code, and so am talking out my @$$, but it looks suspiciously like any/all X pixmaps stored above the 64MiB mark are getting corrupted... especially as it seems like forcing corrupt pixmaps to be regenerated (e.g. restarting kwin, reloading web pages) seems to at least temporarily fix things.
Created attachment 530153 [details] another example corruption Another example of corruption from my other system (lspci reports the card as "ATI Technologies Inc RV620 [FirePro 2260]"). This system usually does not experience the sort of "whole screen" corruption as seen on the system with the HD6950, but the glitches otherwise look the same. Just now, this little corner of my task bar was the only thing I could see on screen that was bad (and it fixed itself while writing this)...
Matthew open a bug for your issue. Rules is one gpu one bug
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
