Hey guys, My old PC MoBo recently died and so, I built a new PC with the following hardware specification : * Processor : AMD A4-6300K 3.7 GHz Dual Core APU with integrated Radeon HD 8370D GPU * MoBo : MSI A58M-E33 * RAM : 4 GB Corsair Value RAM 1600 MHz. * HDD : 500 GB WD Caviar @ 7200 rpm * Monitor : 19 inch Samsung SyncMaster at 1400 X 900 pixels @ 60-75 Hz refresh rate So, I went ahead and popped in the Fedora 21 Workstation Disc. Anaconda worked well and installed Fedora 21. But as soon as I restarted my PC and logged in I found the desktop flickering! I moved the mouse pointer and it flickered even more vigorously and when I pulled through the activities hot corner, I could barely see the icons, which appeared like distorted squares. Somehow, I managed to open the terminal. All the text in the terminal were clearly visible, I installed Xfce desktop and to my surprise it worked fine, text and icon everything was clear and perfectly usable. Next, I installed KDE and it worked as well. I really had trouble understanding the wobbly widgety interface, though! So, I assumed the problem is with Gnome 3. I reinstalled the complete Gnome desktop and alas, the problem persisted! I have used Fedora 20 for quite some time on my laptop, so, I booted a live image of Fedora 20, that I had had flashed onto a pen drive and still there was the same problem. Frustrated, I gave up and installed Ubuntu, Unity worked well but when I installed Gnome3, I was back where I was, running a completely graphically distorted UI! I've since changed many distros (without Gnome as DE) and all of them worked fine. Windows 8.1 worked fluidly as well! I am currently using Ubuntu 14.10 (with Unity as DE). I found it quite close to Gnome3. However, I would still like to use Fedora and since, I'm using this as a multimedia PC, so Gnome3 is still my preference. >From my observations, it seems to be a Gnome 3 hardware incompatibility issue. I've tried changing refreshing rate, resolution and colour depth and nothing could solve the issue! Even switching to the proprietary AMD drivers didn't work out. Should I file a bug report on BugZilla? If anyone's got some idea, please help!
