<pre>Filed this downstream: <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=986074">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=986074</a>
But our nouveau maintainer seems to be dormant at present, so filing upstream.
Running Fedora 20 (pre-release), when I boot a non-debug kernel, my graphical
rendering is mostly fine (minus a few little buglets I've been living with for
years). When I boot a debug kernel, though, it's bad - not just sluggish, but
bad. It seems like refreshes simply don't always work completely: say, I open a
new tab in Firefox, but I can still see all the content from the previous tab
until I wait several seconds or switch tabs and switch back or scrub my mouse
around a bit. Any kind of window-switching operation tends to show the issue.
A Fedora debug kernel build sets the following:

So that's the difference we're looking at. This is reproducible up to
kernel-3.11.0-0.rc6.git1.2.fc20.x86_64 .</pre>
