Looks like the infamous i810 refresh bug is back after yesterday's xorg-x11 update (6.8.2-10). Well, maybe not exactly the same. There's definitely some refresh problems, but the behavior seems slightly different. Now, partial desktop icon artifacts appear near (usually within an icon width or two) the original icons. But they appear elsewhere on the screen sometimes, too, like when launching gnome- terminal. Should I update bugzilla 132267 or open a new one? Anyone else seeing this?

Update: Setting XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy in my xorg.conf works around the problem.

Is this a fc3 or a rawhide/fc4 update?

I didn't know there was an update for FC3. Anyhow, it's the rawhide update (6.8.2-10). I'll file a new bug later today. Seems it shouldn't be an upstream bug, since I've been keeping up to date with rawhide pretty much daily and didn't see the bug until today. I'll have to check the changelog, though, unless someone can tell me if this latest update took a new snapshot from upstream.

I'll have to upgrade my desktop to see if the regression is similar as before. Currently, I am compiling xorg-x11 to see if a self compiled version yeilds any better results. This is for a bug with the radeon driver.
Regarding the bug, I imagine that with the newer version that a new bug report should be created. I got my hands slapped for reopening a closed bug for anaconda before. The bug had the same symptom but was further down the line of development.

I tested the latest xorg-x11 on a pretty outdated installation. (Still a rawhide installation) I saw a blue frame outlining the shell when I changed to a virtua terminal. The blue frame was on all screens (F1-F5 anyway).
The driver is busted for me also, but in a different way.
I didn't reboot the computer to test the new X installation. This test was in runlevel 3 using startx.
This bug does seem to be totally different than the first problem. It still wouldn't be good to still have when the final FC4 comes out though.

File a bug report at http://bugs.freedesktop.org to track the issue. Alan Hourihane has been investigating most i8xx related bugs and providing fixes, so he might be able to investigate this one too.
Hope this helps.

I tested the xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.10test version on my desktop that has the 815 card and al things seemed to work regarding dri, switching to terminals and switching to different resolutions and depths. I tested the nv driver on the same computer with the builtin and the driver was worse in performance than the i810 performed.
It seems the breakage hapened again from xorg-x11-6.8.2-1 through *6.8.2-10 for the i810 driver.
Has there been a new bug report filed for the rawhide i810 version breakage?
One thing is certain, the drivers from opensource could be made to work a lot better with the videocards. My test demonstrated this with trying the nvidia driver compared to the nv driver. I realize that nvidia has the code and knows the details of their hardware, but it really shows between the two drivers.
