Description Andy Liebman 2013-10-23 04:40:51 CEST
As part of my troubleshooting a problem with the b43 module and the broadcom 4331 chipset (Macbook Pro 8,2), I am testing the 3.10.16 kernel that is in updates-testing. 

I installed the new kernel. I uninstalled all of the older fglrx rpms (including fglrx-kernel-3.8.13-desktop-1.mga3-12.104.7, fglrx-kernel-desktop-latest-12.104.7, dkms-fglrx-12.104-2, fglrx-control-center-12.104-3 and x11-driver-video-fglrx-12.104.7) and then installed the same 5 packages from updates-testing. 

After rebooting, Gnome-3.6 is very slow for any text input.  Dragging around windows is fine, but if I open a terminal and try to type, or try to type in a web browser, I only get about 1 character every few seconds. If I log out and log back in using Gnome Classic or KDE, everything seems fine. 

I have tried this whole procedure twice and had the same experience both times. Can I help you troubleshoot this?  The new kernel and new fglrx is not ready for release.

Hi Andy, thanks for testing.  Could you please add your testing results on Bug 11463 where this kernel update (and the related packages like fglrx) is being tested?
