Priority: medium Bug ID: 76157 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: Gnome-shell 3.10 has distorted artifacts and fonts with Gallium driver (running on Dell XT with Radeon Xpress 1250 graphics card) Severity: major Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux (All) Reporter: jdrichards9@gmail.com Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) Status: NEW Version: unspecified Component: Drivers/Gallium/radeonsi Product: Mesa

Created attachment 95774 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=95774&action=edit Gnome-shell 3.8 with artifacts distortions and distorted font.

I was using Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 at the time with Gnome 3.8, but this problem also applies to any Ubuntu OS past version 12.04. When I try to run or install Ubuntu or Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 on my Dell XT with Radeon Xpress 1250, the font is distorted and miscellaneous graphical components are distorted on the interface. I'm assuming it could be an issue with hardware acceleration, as I'm running Linux Mint with the MATE desktop Environment, and I have no issues.

When I try installing the proprietary ATI/AMD driver in attempts to resolve the issue, the OS glitches entirely, and I'm forced to reinstall.

If the Gallium driver could be fixed to support the Radeon Xpress 1250 graphics card with GNOME 3.10/3.12, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks so much for your time and all your hard work.
