Description Dick Gevers 2019-04-12 17:36:40 CEST

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #24134 +++

Description of problem: Log into Xfce (Gdm) and the screen distorts for 4 seconds (nothing is readable, many colours mixed like Van Gogh painting dots)

Graphics are: Amdgpu Stoney (Radeon R2/R3/R4/R5 graphics) 

Install was from Mageia7 beta3 classical installer (round 3)

After 4 second problem is gone

This seems to be quite similar to Bug# 24134 with Intel Graphics there.

My machine may be recognised from the report.bug i attach in the next comment; briefly: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_iso_hardware_list -> Notebooks -> dvgevers

It *is* a duplicate of the other, whose title covers this case: "Xfce video tearing at login"

I also have reported the same problem on the other bug, with ATI graphics. It does not seem to be hardware specific.

Whatever... I asked on #qa beforehand whether to comment or report separately and was told to report it anew....

Apologies. You were ill advised.
--------------------------------
I owe you and Frank apologies, but the evidence has disappeared! [Has somebody wise deleted comments & edited the offending one c2?]
There was a supporting comment from Frank; he & yourself mentioned Display Managers. I replied with a really stupid comment [in c2] saying this was about desktops (stupid because this bug *is* about a specific one, Xfce); and doubting the relevance of DMs (which are indeed a relevant factor):

It was late, I was tired, I was ga-ga. Sorry to both of you anyway.

Re the previous comment: wrong bug, no apologies were called for! I was ga-ga to post c4.
