I noticed that the issue is reproducible with an Ubuntu from a pendrive, but only if in dual head mode. If the screens were mirrored, the problem wouldn't appear.

The issue persist with Fedora 16. I just upgraded and I was greeted by the fault message that told me my machine wasn't able to run GNOME Shell. Starting GNOME Shell manually exposed the issues.

Tobias, if you're still around, can you say if you see anything that looks like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=745202 on this card? The corruption you report seems somewhat different to that. I'm trying to establish exactly which cards are affected by that bug.

Comment 4 Tobias Mueller 2012-03-25 15:08:10 UTC
Yeah, well. I don't run the card at the moment as I replaced it with one that works better. I still have the card lying around and could run it to check again if you want.

From what I remember, the text was broken, too, as in the screenshots attached in the other bug (i.e. attachment 570410 [details] or attachment 571530 [details]). But I also had the problem of the weird patterns as visible in the screenshot provided in attachment 530788 [details]. I don't see this being reported by the other people over in bug 745202.

Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2012-03-25 17:28:32 UTC
Tobias: right, sounds kind of like you have two bugs - 745202 *and* this weird pattern thing.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 12:27:25 UTC
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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 12:43:28 UTC
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.
