What to test?
Today's instalment of 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...
- Development - Dave Airlie (airlied), Jerome Glisse (jglisse)
- Quality Assurance - Adam Williamson (adamw)
What's needed to test
- An ATI Radeon (or FireGL) graphics adapter. To confirm whether you have supporting hardware, run the following command:
/sbin/lspci -d 1002: | grep -iq VGA && echo "Join Radeon Fedora Test Day" || echo "Sorry, no Radeon graphics hardware found."
- An updated Fedora 42 pre-release, or the special live image (see below)
- Your hardware profile uploaded to Smolt according to these instructions
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.

Test
Follow each of these test cases:
- QA:Testcase_radeon_basic
- QA:Testcase_radeon_xvideo
- QA:Testcase_radeon_rotate
- QA:Testcase_radeon_restartx
- QA:Testcase_radeon_dpms
- QA:Testcase_radeon_glx (3D support for r600 and r700 cards - anything in the Radeon HD 2xxx, HD 3xxx, or HD 4xxx series - is quite experimental at this time, expect problems)
- QA:Testcase_radeon_fastuserswitch
- QA:Testcase_radeon_vt
- QA:Testcase_radeon_suspend
- QA:Testcase_radeon_rendercheck (requires 15 minutes)
- QA:Testcase_radeon_compositing_manager
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):
- QA:Testcase_radeon_3D_pymol
- QA:Testcase_radeon_3D_avogadro
- QA:Testcase_radeon_3D_openarena
- QA:Testcase_radeon_3D_tuxracer
- QA:Testcase_radeon_3D_mesa-demos
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, if your system worked correctly, simply enter the word PASS. If you had trouble, enter the word FAIL, with a footnote indicator, and put a link to the bug report in the comments column (as in the example 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.

PASS | PASS | PASS | PASS | Suspend worked. Resume failed to restore wireless connection, and trying to switch off desktop effects failed. Then in a terminal trying "less /var/log/messages" gave "segmentation fault" so no BZ reported. Also ABRT failed to work. Then shutdown failed so had to hard reset. Started test again with no desktop effects enabled - system did suspend and appeared to resume with wireless connection re-established. However doing yum install compiz-gnome at that point in a terminal gave "-bash: /usr/bin/yum: Input/output error" - so suspend is broken for this system. | src transform coordinates test failed + mask transform coordinates test failed File:Renderchecklog-ati-mc.gz | PASS | N/A | ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Radeon Mobility X300] [1002:5460] | |
