Hi! I had the XAA: Evicting pixmaps problem in Gutsy using the
xserver-xorg-video-intel driver with i945 chipset. I upgraded to Hardy
and now I get these two last lines in my Xorg.0.log file:
(WW) intel(0): fbc already enabled on plane a, not enabling on plane a
(II) intel(0): fbc disabled on
Conn: doesn't crash on hardy (tested on i945), and I doubt it can be
backported fully, since it would mean backporting the EXA changes too.

Timo,
Thanks. I didn't take a look at the new patch yet, so I'll take your
word for it. Shall we mark this bug as closed/fixed?

Conn: Yes, EXA is just becoming really usable and I doubt there will be
backports for gutsy since it might break other setups. So I'm marking
this as fixed in Hardy.
If you have a chance to try Hardy and it still hangs, please reopen and
we'll consider other options!

Hi,
From hardy's xorg-server 2:1.4.1~git20071119-1ubuntu1 upload:
* debian/patches/120_fedora_xserver-xaa-evict-pixmaps.patch:
- New version of the hack to copy textures from video memory. Shouldn't
break EXA anymore.
We have two choices now:
1. Ensure exa functions in hardy, and
Confirmed on Dell XPS M1330 with Intel I965 graphics card (blacklisted
by compiz as PCI ID 8086:2a02).
Conn, many thanks for the excellent work with the work-around.
When enabling EXA and compiz I get some flaws on window borders that may
be a problem with shadows but I guess that is not
Well, I was happy for a while... Unfortunately, Firefox (and probably
other applications as well) crashes with the work-around applied.
Looking forward to xserver 1.4 in Ubuntu...

Thank you, Jose for the excellent build instructions!
I also can confirm that removing the patch fixes the xserver crash when
running KDE4's kwin with EXA on an i965.

Many thanks to Jose !!!
I have a firm confirmation that removing the aforementioned patch and
rebuilding the xorg-server make me have EXA running smoothly.
Besides, I found that the video played with XV plugin enabled really

Or give me a link guiding me to rebuild my xserver-xorg.

You need to get the source apt-get source xorg-server, the build
dependencies sudo apt-get build-dep xorg-server, then cd into xorg-
server-1.3.0.0.dfsg, edit debian/patches/series and comment or remove
the line that starts with 120, and rebuild the deb - fakeroot
debian/rules binary. When it
I beg to differ, that patch is not needed - it is only a alternative to
adding 'option XAANoOffScreenPixmaps' to xorg.conf. So, to avoid
entering a line in xorg.conf if you still use XAA (soon to be obsolete),
everyone using EXA (which is the future direction of X acceleration) has
to rebuild his
Unfortunately, that patch is needed in order to have a usable
compiz/composite experience with XAA, and besides not that many drivers
support zero-copy-tfp with EXA yet. This should be re-evaluated when
hardy opens. Mesa has r3xx (ati) support for z-c-tfp, and I've tested
r200. Don't know what the
I can confirm both that:
- this bug affects the HP6710b (running i965 chipset),
- the patched xserver-xorg-core.deb supplied by conn resolves the issue

I have to take back comment #20 - I hadn't noticed that I didn't update
xorg-server because apt thought my version was the higher one. I still
need to rebuild xorg-server without patch 120 to be able to use EXA and
compiz on my 945GM chipset laptop.
