On my opteron with ATI Radeon X300SE icons are displayed incorrectly placed initially and differently on mouse-over. While this graphics card was not recognized by name at the time, this worked fine before the upgrade to modular X from Fedora fc5-devel. See attached screenshot, xorg.conf and Xorg log.

You're using the vesa driver, not radeon. Does this also happen with the radeon driver?
The radeon driver does not exhibit this problem. [non-related observation: the radeon driver tries very hard to do drmOpen - each of card0 to 254 is tried twice, card0 even more often, then the driver says drmOpen failed followed by DRIScreenInit failed - is that a bug or due to a limitation of my graphics card?]
(In reply to comment #5) > The radeon driver does not exhibit this problem. Good, but then why did you set the component field back to the wrong driver? > [non-related observation: the radeon driver tries very hard to do drmOpen - each > of card0 to 254 is tried twice, card0 even more often, then the driver says > drmOpen failed This is all done by drmOpen and not driver specific. > followed by DRIScreenInit failed - is that a bug or due to a limitation of my > graphics card?] Most likely a configuration issue.
Created attachment 3922 [details] Another screenshot (ppc) I am seeing a similar problem on my Powerbook (Radeon Mobility 9700). I'm using the radeon driver, so I doubt it's a driver issue. There are some differences (see attached screenshot): 1. The displacement is upwards instead of right (perhaps because it is PPC) 2. Panels are working nicely. Both, vertical and horizontal types. 3. No color variations. X itself seems to work as expected. I have no problems with windows and their contents, graphical boot or anything else. If the Nautilus desktop is disabled, the background looks fine too and shows no remaining patterns while moving windows. Command to do this: gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false I think we have at least a starting point to track this down. Nautilus worked fine with X11R6 and seems to use GDK to draw it's desktop. I haven't looked further because I have not much insight. Just for completeness: System is up to date Fedora Rawhide with Nautilus 2.12.1 and GTK2 2.8.7. Mike: Please tell me if I should file a bug against Nautilus or GTK in Redhat BTS.
Same problem with the vesa driver on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop (latest BIOS) with ATI Mobility M4 running latest Fedora rawhide. Though the ati driver works (though r128 driver fails to load if I specify "r128" as the driver in xorg.conf). The vesa driver worked fine before Fedora upgraded to modular X.
Comment #8 seems to confirm that this is a vesa driver specific bug. Comment #7 looks like a duplicate of bug 4456.
Yes, comment #7 is definitly bug 4456. Thanks for pushing into the right direction and sorry for the noise.
This is pretty likely to be a duplicate of 3944
