#186639 — Weird graphical glitches bug with gdm3 and gnome on stretch

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi everyone!

I'm having this weird bug on Stretch with gdm3 and Gnome. Fluxbox and i3
work perfectly. It's difficult to describe it so I uploaded a couple videos
to show you:

I googled it but I haven't found anything like it.

It started not immediately after upgrading to stretch, but in some upgrade
after that. I tried reverting the last updates but that didn't solve the
problem.
Maybe some configuration changed? Maybe a hardware issue? But that only
manifests itself with gnome (weird)?

And things have been running so smoothly for years that I've gotten a
little rusty in fixing things... I don't know where to begin.

I want to file a but report but I don't know if this bug belongs to gnome,
to xorg, to the radeon driver...
I'm using current Stretch versions of all packages.

Hardware:
1:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Turks XT [Radeon HD 6670/7670] [1002:6758]

Driver:
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:7.8.0-1+b1
firmware-amd-graphics 20161130-3

Kernel:
linux-image-4.9.0-3-amd64 4.9.30-2+deb9u3


I appreciate any help/suggestions you might have.

Thank you,
Ramiro

Interesting...  My system seems to be worse than yours, as it crashes outright
rather than producing inconsistent behavior.  I also use radeon, but don't know
if that issue is hw-related.

Try booting an old 3.* kernel, if you still have one.  That restored my
system's reliability.  Check dmesg differences between kernel 4 and 3.

I'm no kernel expert.  I'm seeking help myself, but the "Chevrolet users'
support group" doesn't seem to be much responsive these days...

'best
Ale
