Created attachment 592361 [details] on fedora 17 In the meantime I did a fresh install of Fedora 17. The issue stays similar. see attachment (screen.png/on fedora 17) Different this time is that is happens every time when moving the mouse or pressing a key while the screen is locked and not random as on Fedora 16. Not sure if it was the case before, but I can now just unlock the screen and a working desktop returns after typing my password blindly followed by an enter. The actual password input window was never shown. Another thing to note is that the square on top of the background seems to match the size of the second monitor. Running: kmod-nvidia-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64-295.53-1.fc17.3.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-295.53-1.fc17.3.x86_64
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17'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 17 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
