Description of problem: Graphics distortion, broken tooltips in quite a few Gnome Apps in fully upgraded F16 TC2 Gnome. Tooltips just show a black box with no text. Left clicking and dragging mouse over files in nautilus results in huge white opaque box over them. Also, sometimes a selected file name gets covered by a pink opaque box. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.16.0-2.fc16.i686 gnome-shell-3.2.1-1.fc16.i686 How reproducible: Everytime tooltip appears, or when left-click and dragging the mouse. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Wait for tooltip to appear in System Monitor, Nautilus, gedit, etc 2. Left Click and drag mouse over files in nautilus to show the white box 3. Actual results: Expected results: 1. Tooltip with text 2. No white opaque box expected. Additional info: Screenshot links: 1. goo.gl/i6mgt (Broken tooltip in terminal) 2. goo.gl/SelqQ (Broken tooltip in rhythmbox) 3. goo.gl/AsIeA (White opaque box) 4. goo.gl/KhqQB (Pink opaque box over a selection in Packagekit)

With the updates in the last 2 weeks, the broken tooltips problem has been resolves, and so has the white opaque box appearing over many file selections using mouse. However, as can be seen in the attachments, graphics distortion still continue randomly. Screenshots are of the case when was clicking on user menu. Changing the title of the bug to Graphics distortion in Fedora 16.

The same than in picture2 happens to me and I've tried Fedora 16 i686 and x64 versions. It happens in both of them. I've tried the two versions in a clean installation and fully updated. It didn't happen trying Fedora from the LiveCD. juan@Portatil ~$ lspci -nn -s 0:2 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a2] (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller [0380]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a6] (rev 03) juan@Portatil ~$ rpm -qa | grep mesa mesa-libGLU-7.11-8.fc16.i686 mesa-libGL-7.11-8.fc16.i686 mesa-dri-filesystem-7.11-8.fc16.i686 mesa-dri-drivers-7.11-8.fc16.i686 juan@Portatil ~$ uname -a Linux Portatil.Juan 3.1.0-7.fc16.i686 #1 SMP Tue Nov 1 21:00:16 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux juan@Portatil ~$ rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-3.1.0-7.fc16.i686 libreport-plugin-kerneloops-2.0.6-2.fc16.i686 abrt-addon-kerneloops-2.0.4.981-3.fc16.i686
I have a similar problem. GNOME 3 only starts in fallback mode for me and even then I get lots of artifacts on the display. I have a GM965 graphics controller. I tried running gnome-shell --replace but its really buggy and eventually freezes. $ lspci -nn -s 0:2 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) [8086:2a02] (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller [0380]: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (secondary) [8086:2a03] (rev 03) $ rpm -qa | grep mesa mesa-libGL-7.11-11.fc16.x86_64 mesa-dri-filesystem-7.11-11.fc16.x86_64 mesa-libGLU-7.11-11.fc16.x86_64 mesa-dri-drivers-7.11-11.fc16.x86_64 $ rpm -q kernel kernel-3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64
I have similar issues in KDE, all packages are up to date. I am however using the rpmfusion packages for the nvidia driver.
I have an Intel 945G and it does the same crap, it's getting annoying enough I am thinking of switching distos all togeather. I had the Same issues in F15!
Hi Dan, Can you post the output of lspci -nn -s 0:2 and versions of kernel and mesa in use in your system. The info will be useful to the devs. The distortions observed by me had vastly reduced over the past few months. Am checking if the issue persists in F17, but so far it hasnt yet shown up.
Just upgraded to F17 and everything seems to be working fine for me now so far.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" 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
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 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.
