Hi,

Why don't you record a video or take a screenshot to make at least
clear to us whats going on?

> I have tried OpenSuse 11.2, which is with newer kernel and it shows the same bad like Fedora 12. So I decided to shift on fedora, but unfortunately although Fedora 13 shows screen better - it is still not usable (actually screen picture on Fedora 12 was really awful). I have tried to compare video output on OpenSuse 11.1 and Fedora 13, all of the has the same, except of "xdpyinfo": on suse it tells about 3 visuals ( number of visuals:    3), but on Fedora 13 - 32 visuals. Fedora 12 got 72.
