Artifacts in gnome-shell with GeForce Go 7600 after upgrade
Last modified: 2015-02-17 10:29:15 EST
Created attachment 757923 [details] Screenshot of the artifacts Description of problem: After upgrading from F18 -> F19 Beta (up to date as of the 6th of june) I get artifacts during use of gnome-shell. See the attached screenshot. It manifests itself as artifacts around windows in the overview (as in the screenshot), missing background in the overview (as well as the rest of the screen turning black when a modal window appears over it, ie. the "select file" window in firefox when uploading the screenshot for this bug report), as well as some missed screen redraws. The latter is most easily noticeable in gnome-terminal, where when using screen, it will sometimes not redraw if I switch between screen windows (switching *again* or doing C-A l often fixes it). During login (in GDM) the artifacts show as the input field for the password flickering when I type into it. It's a laptop, and the card is a GeForce Go 7600. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.7-1.fc19.x86_64 Kernel 3.9.4-301.fc19.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.8.2-3.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the computer 2. Artifacts appear first on the login screen, then next after login

Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
