Ben was of the opinion it may well be in the Shell stack somewhere (probably clutter, if I had to guess). I'm meant to test with LXDE or KDE or something to see if that 'fixes' it, but haven't got around to it yet. I haven't seen the out-and-out corruption in your first screenshot, though, so I think that's something different. > http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/xorg-x11-drv-ati > lists 177 tickets.

Claws does seem to be especially prone to the partial update thing, but emacs shows it too. I've not had the time to even begin to track it down. I see the partial updates with the 3.0 kernel. When I run kernel-3.1.0-0.rc0.git21.1.fc17.x86_64 instead, what I see, in addition, is horrific performance. GNOME shell achieves a new level of pain there, but even fallback mode hurts. I've not had any time to try to figure out what's going on there either. jon -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
F16 Alpha ATI Radeon issues?
In an F16 Alpha install done via an upgrade from F15 final, I get various rendering issues in GNOME Shell, such as http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/tmp/screenshot-f16-alpha-damage1.png Not always, but at random times. Also: - perceived lag (compared with F15) - areas of the screen not getting refreshed in time, staying blank until I touch the window or move a GTK slider, e.g. individual mailbox subject lines in Claws Mail summary view - once, a few large black rectangular areas have appeared around an xterm window when moving it above a pair of Emacs and Firefox - lines of output in gnome-terminal and/or xterm don't appear and are displayed only when moving the window or hitting Enter once more Is anyone aware of such issues? Is it likely to be a driver issue or specific to the GNOME Shell?
