RHEL7 public beta had the same problem (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074106). RHEL7 Release Candidate applied this patch: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/18244/ From the patch: "So we have 2 places where gpus with 24bpp frontbuffers are still in use, cirrus (in qemu) and some early variants of the mgag200 server chips. Currently we seem to get a lot of broken rendering in qt, mesa, gnome if we expose the frontbuffer as 24bpp, nobody seems to test this anymore upstream so client side apps are constantly broken, so lets just make -modesetting expose a 24/32 shadow frontbuffer, and use the shadow update hook to convert down to the actual 24bpp front, this might be slower, but its correct and really anyone that wants this already has enough problems."
