Screen issues (it repeats constantly when you move mouse point)

Screen issues in images, buttons and other components inside the Fedora & gnome desktop 3.16. I reported this issue in F22 Alpha & F22 Beta in bugs.freedesktop.org (see below) but the problem persist in F22 stable today release. (sna: Implement missing 9^10^11 swizzle mode) but it seems is necessary to be included in the fedora package.

chipset: Dual Core E5800

kernel 4.0.0-1.fc22.x86_64

Linux Distro: Fedora 22 Beta

glxinfo:server glx vendor string: SGI

server glx version string: 1.4

Display connector: VGA

Monitor: ViewSonic Corporation 19'' (1366x768 res.)

Reproducible steps:

With that machine and both (Fedora 22 Alpha & Beta) distros, booting in liveusb or installing in the computer, the screen issue appears.
Moving the cursor over the desktop, the screen "broken" (see attached capture).

With Fedora 21 stable works fine, and the same with other last stable distros and OS like Windows 7 and 8.

Comment 1 teccie 2015-05-31 20:15:25 UTC

I also have this problem on one of my laptops.
When I boot a 3.* Kernel that was installed before I upgraded to Fedora 22 (I think it's 3.19.5, can't look this up right now), everything works correctly.

Comment 2 jmlevick 2015-06-11 18:22:25 UTC

Another two users have reported me issues with F22 and Graphics (one of which was similar to this one); So this made me jump into action...

I've personally asked @GregVD at Google Plus to try using the Wayland GNOME session and report me back if he had any issues there and he said no. It's just a hunch but I think all of these issues have something to do with Wayland experimental support so, 

Quoting:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F22_bugs#GNOME_login_screen_doesn.27t_appear_on_certain_dual-GPU_Macbooks_after_installation

@GregVD: Could you please edit your /etc/gdm/custom.conf file  and uncomment:

#WaylandEnable=false

So it disables Wayland on your system and then reboot into your normal session?

I think this will solve your glitch. Please tell me if it does.

Comment 5 GregVD 2015-06-12 00:00:47 UTC

I used the Wayland GDM login, and that distortion issue is solved, but i have some flickering and some applications issues when you try to run files, or anonther app. (i supposed is some memory problem, is very slow).

After this "test" i disable the Wayland default login as jmlevick propossed and this solve the flickering problem, but not the distortion issue.

So, i solve this issue adding some lines in

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

This lines are:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "card0"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
EndSection

Save and reboot. So i used this two solutions: 

FLICKERING ISSUE
- editing /etc/gdm/custom.conf and uncommenting #WaylandEnable=false 

DISTORTION SCREEN
-the above lines

Thanks to sumitbhardwaj for the solution!!

Comment 7 GregVD 2015-06-12 00:38:31 UTC

Thanks jmlevick for the flickering solution.

By the way, this link includes the cause and solution about the screen issues.

Comment 8 Dave Airlie 2015-06-12 01:21:47 UTC

I think there is a fix in the latest kernel in updates-testing that should fix this, even with SNA enabled.
