Hello,

I am currently running F17. As it is nearing end of life, I am anxious to
upgrade. Around kernel 3.7, I started to experience very heavy graphics
slowdown and corruption. I reported a bug around the time I experienced it <
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912459>. Because F17 has a
version of the 3.6 kernel, I can continue using the desktop without
interruption.

In preparations for upgrading I tested out F19 Beta, Alpha, and final live
CD. All versions show the same bug, creating an unusable desktop.

At this point I'm stuck between F19 which has corrupted graphics; unusable
desktop and F17 which is EOL and will not receive security updates (not to
mentioned outdated).

Any thoughts on what to do?
