Description Ish Sookun 2013-09-20 10:50:02 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/29.0.1547.76 Safari/537.36

I'm running openSUSE 13.1 64bit Beta 1 Live GNOME on an HP Compaq 6515b notebook. The display is broken. See screenshot : http://susepaste.org/33952396

For info :

linux:~ # lspci | grep -i vga
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]

linux:~ # lsmod | grep radeon
radeon                    1308792    3
ttm                         92265    1 radeon
drm_kms_helper              52710    1 radeon
drm                        309344    5 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit                13413    1 radeon

I've tried the same on an Acer Aspire 4741 with Intel Graphics, the desktop graphic is broken as well like in the screenshot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Live openSUSE 13.1 Beta 1 (Gnome) on a notebook with ATI Radeon graphic
2. Display is broken when desktop loads
3.

Can you please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log from both systems?

The systems look like the right display drivers where loaded indeed and a driver issue is probably to be excluded, considering we have two different ones showing the same issue.

Can you try to enable the GNOME:Factory repository and update to packages in there?

like this (as root):
zypper ar obs://GNOME:Factory/openSUSE_Factory GF
zypper ref
zypper dup --from GF

Since you suggested upgrading I proceeded with installation first. I am not having the 'broken display' issue (during the whole installation process) when selecting 'installation' at openSUSE grub menu.

However, after installation I came up with another issue concerning grub which I've reported here : https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841711

I'll continue with your suggestion once I've been successfully installed & boot into.

I am having the same issue with desktop tearing on Dell XPS-13 ultrabook.

The desktop never draws correctly and leaves all sorts of artifacts.

Kind of a bummer, really.

Ultimately, this appears to be a DUP of 844891 as well (in one of the various manifestations)
