Graphical Corruption in Fedora 41 on AMD (BIOS3.06, Linux 6.13.5)

Thank you all, especially @jkbach, for your downgrade workaround for Fedora 42.

To summarize information for folks finding this thread:

  • If you’re on Fedora 41, you can downgrade to v24 mesa.
    sudo dnf downgrade mesa-va-drivers-0:24.2.4-1.fc41.x86_64

    You can then use the version lock plugin to prevent upgrading to the faulty version, per reply #20.
    sudo dnf versionlock add mesa-va-drivers

  • If you’re on Fedora 42, stuck with v25 and unable to downgrade from the repositories, you can use koji. See the above reply #39.

  • For those of you waiting on a fix, per the mesa issue (Gitlab #12809), it would seem to be fixed in v25.0.4 - as of yet not released on Fedora 42 See Fedora Packages.

  • Setting the kernel parameter amdgpu.sg_display=0 per the above reply #27 or #33 did not resolve the issue for me, though some individuals have found it helpful.
