GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 653406
Massive graphical distortion on resume
Last modified: 2012-08-27 20:20:16 UTC
I'm filing this on behalf of my partner - she has a HP laptop with Fedora 15 and ATI graphics. She has got into the swing of sleeping/resuming rather than shutting down but she resumed today and uh, well, see the attached. It was not really usable and she ended up pulling the power which is not a good thing as she couldn't shut it down (the graphics were a mess but there's no way of doing it anyway!). If it helps - she was using Libreoffice to write a letter, saved it, slept the laptop, tried resuming. I can get other information on request.
Created attachment 190659 [details] screenshot of distortion Had to convert to JPEG as default PNG screenshots are too large to attach.
Please post the output of $ glxinfo | grep OpenGL
[yolanda@landa ~]$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL OpenGL vendor string: X.Org R300 Project OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RS690 OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.11-devel OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 OpenGL extensions: [yolanda@landa ~]$
Seems like a driver bug. Please report it to the driver's authors at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mesa . Component should be Drivers/Gallium/r300. Attach the information you provided here. Provide the kernel version too.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use. By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME. Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
