Created attachment 604330 [details] X session errors log Description of problem: After a few hours of working, I experience aftefacts in GUI. I've only experienced them in GTK apps, but it's maybe just because I use GNOME 3 and mainly GTK apps. Items in lists (IRC, list of folders in Nautilus,...) disappear either after refreshing or after hovering a cursor over them. Borders of some buttons don't render or some icons are covered by artefacts. I'm reporting this to kernel because it started after upgrading to kernel 3.5 and is not fixed with 3.5.1. I don't experience it when I boot to kernel 3.4.x. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 3.5.1 Restarting GNOME Shell helps... for a while. How reproducible: Not really reproducible, it just starts after a few hours of a session. Actual results: Artefacts Expected results: Without artefacts Additional info: I'm using Lenovo Thinkpad X201 with i915. I'm attaching a screenshot of it, output of lsmod, xorg.log, and xsession-errors.

I can confirm this happening.
Thanks for reporting us the issue. Also maybe this and those: 836308 843985 problems are somehow connected. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
(In reply to comment #5) > Thanks for reporting us the issue. > Also maybe this and those: 836308 843985 problems are somehow connected. I don't know if the problems reported in 836308 and 843985 are the same. What happens to me is more about disappearing GUI items in GTK than about artefacts even though they sometime appear, too. And there are not horizontal lines. In my case, it always starts after a long time, at least 5 hours after logging in. But they're all i915 cards, so there must be some regressions in the driver. And it didn't get better with 3.5.2, I can confirm that.
I see the same issues as in this bug and in bug 851280 (possible duplicate). I have this card: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a42] (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Using kernel-3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.20.1-1.fc17.x86_64 I saw artifacts in eog when working with photos, widgets in UI (icons, texts) were flashing, sometimes fully black, sometimes fully white. This happened cca 1 hour after cold boot. I upgraded to kernel-3.5.3-1.fc17.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.20.5-1.fc17.x86_64 and rebooted. After cca 5 minutes I saw the same artifacts in Firefox when working with photos in Google+. Web UI widgets were flashing again.
This problem persists on the kernel 3.5.3. No such problems on 3.4.x for several weeks.

This problem occurs on my personal laptop, too. The same behavior - afterfacts after >5 hours of running. The following cards are affected in my case: Intel HD Graphics 3000 Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
Probably related Ubuntu bug attributes similar problems to Mesa: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1042211
I just saw this again with kernel-3.6.1-1.fc17.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.20.8-1.fc17.x86_64 mesa-dri-drivers-8.0.4-1.fc17.x86_64
I can confirm it on 3.6.1 in Fedora 17, too. It occurs even more often than with 3.5.
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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
