Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.22+3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I'm experiencing severe graphical glitches on Gnome and Gdm3 that render
the environment unusable. Borders of windows remain on screen, blinking, after
moving, and typing on terminals is a mess, full of glitches that make it
impossible to see the characters. Menus show highliting and blinking of
several items when hovering over them. Chromium works fine though.

Videos show this better than pictures, here are a couple:

I'm using Fluxbox for now which works perfectly, showing no glitches,
whatsoever.

I updated my system from Jessie to Stretch and I believe this started after
 an upgrade, but not the dist-upgrade though. I tried reverting all packages
but that did not help.

System running on current Stretch versions of all packages.
Xorg with no custom configurations.

Hardware: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Turks XT [Radeon HD 6670/7670] [1002:6758]
Driver: xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:7.8.0-1+b1

I'm not sure if this is a Gnome, Xorg, Radeon bug...

Any help is appreciated.


PS.: I just would like to let you know that I'm an experienced Linux user, and
I have been using it for 20 years on several computers, servers, laptop etc.
I can provide you with any information you need and perform any tests you
suggest. I googled for similar problems but I haven't found any.
