Arriving after the date above? If you come to this page after the test day is completed, your testing of Radeon is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test Radeon with your graphics card and provide feedback. If you are visiting
after the release of Fedora 15, please wait for the next Radeon test day.
What to test?
Today's Fedora Test Day will focus on the radeon driver for ATI/AMD Radeon graphics cards.
If you come to this page after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test with your graphics card and provide feedback.
Who's available
The following cast of characters will be available for testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion...
What's needed to test
Shell support broken on later cardsAll cards of the R600 generation and later - that is, Radeon HD 2xxx and later - are currently believed to be encountering a bug which causes Mutter (the GNOME 3 window manager) to crash when trying to load GNOME Shell -
Bugzilla: #677842. If you encounter this crash, mark the GNOME 3 start test as
fail, link to that bug report, and CC yourself on the report if you would like to follow progress on a fix.
How to test?
Update your machine
If you're running Fedora 42, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager. Or you can use a live image:
Live image
Optionally, you may download a non-destructive Fedora 42 live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD.

Testing
Follow each of these test cases:
Multihead test case:
You will need two or more monitors to perform the multihead test.
Optional extended OpenGL test cases (some of these will require you to at least move around in games):
These will provide more detailed testing of 3D functionality. Please file bugs for any failures you find if running these tests.
Report your results
If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component xorg-x11-drv-ati. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Follow the instructions on this page to ensure you include sufficient information in the report. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from Example user as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to your Smolt hardware profile (see above for a link with instructions on submitting your hardware profile to Smolt). For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line. If you could not perform one test (for example, you cannot perform the more advanced tests because the basic one fails, or you cannot perform the multihead test as you have only one display), enter the word N/A. In the comments column, you can enter the model name and PCI device ID (vendor ID is usually 1002) of your card, if you know it - you can usually find this information in the output of the command lspci -nn.

- ↑ Gnome shell does not start after first boot (fallback mode), start successfully when logout > login. OK with "gnome-shell --replace".
- ↑ 44 steps/46. [1](Didn't understood how to upload it here)
- ↑ The switch worked but when i log out the 2nd user, it fall back into the 1st user session and not gdm !!
Moreover, the insight of the overlay window show 3 same nautilus thumbnails instead of the correct thumbnails.
- ↑ Works, but unusable because a message keep showing each second: “[random numbers...] hub 1-0:1.0 Unable to enumerate USB device on port 2“
- ↑ Works with “pm-suspend” but the suspend menu of gnome 3 shut down the computer instead of suspending it.
