Created attachment 752542 [details] Video with displaying errors Description of problem: It happens on GeForce 7300 GT and . There are some displaying errors especially in Activity (overview). For example: when I move cursor over some button of some gnome-shell dialog (for example power off dialog) this button disappears so there is only shadow rectangle (it should highlight the button). Worse case is displaying overview mode. As you can see on the attached video. It isn't displayed correctly at all, there isn't background, when I move cursor over icons the display is blinking. And when I am in application overview, there isn't any visible icon. Please look on the video. I'm sorry that the video is in mp4, but I had to tape it on mobile, because when I started gnome-shell recording it acted differently. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.7-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: overview every time, buttons disappear only once (mostly Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

The second graphic I tested is Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300 and it is broken too.
I worked on the system from comment 1 several times and quite shortly it may end up in a state where GNOME is totally unusable. For example the whole screen goes black/some other color, or the image is totally distorted in some way.
Desktop QA team tested this on another nVidia cards and it seems like there is a problem only with one particular chipset (G72M).
The exact same problem also occurs on a GeForce 7900 GS graphics card.
Please note that with "Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300" I have problems to even boot F19 TC1 from PXE/DVD/netinst, unless I have "quiet" specified on the command line.
Like zwartgat above (Comment 4), I experience identical artifacts on a 7900GS card. Same red/green gradients and everything. So I confirm the problem is seemingly broader than just the G72M chipset -- but all the reports/descriptions I have seen DO seem to involve nVidia 7-series. See also duplicate bug 971590 for another user's report.
Same as this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=977346
Same bug on Toshiba M5 laptop with: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M] (rev a1) On this laptop Fedora 19 is unusable out of the box. Based on information found in Bugzilla # 977346 I worked around this problem with a xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 1/ start in level 3 2/ run Xorg :1 -configure 3/ move xorg.conf.new mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf 4/ reboot With this xorg.conf display is now correct.
No way to use nvidia open source module consider to use nvidia proprietary driver.
