  Description  Martin Schreiber      2014-09-23 16:39:22 UTC  
Created attachment 106748 [details]
Test application

Since several years MSEgui doesn't work with radeon driver anymore.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mseide-msegui/

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/373781
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690766
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852944
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69543

I again unsuccessfully spent several days to try to find a bug in MSEgui, try 
to find a workaround or to find a small testapplication which shows the 
problems.
MSEgui paints on a pixmap with the size of the update region which is moved to 
the window by xcopyarea() after the drawing is complete.
The attached application draws a diagonal line over a grid cell. Every 2 
seconds the cell will be invalidated and refreshed. At startup the display is 
OK, after 2 seconds the diagonal line will be truncated. This has been 
reproduced on three installations.
If the test-program is started with any command line parameter 
(ex. "./radeonline abc" the drawing of the blue rectangle is disabled. Two of 
the three installations always show the diagonal line in this mode with full 
length, one truncates it after 2 seconds.
With the option "EXAPixmaps" "off" in xorg.conf all is OK.
The simplified testprogram from 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69543
shows a distorted display also by directly drawing to the window so the double 
buffering probably is not the culprit.
Comment 1  Michel Dänzer      2014-09-24 02:41:18 UTC  
Probably an EXA issue. Option "EXAPixmaps" "off" mostly avoids the hardware 
acceleration paths in EXA.
Comment 2  Martin Schreiber      2014-09-24 05:47:09 UTC  
Who is responsible for "Server/Acceleration/EXA"?
Comment 3  Michel Dänzer      2014-09-24 06:14:08 UTC  
Nobody has actively worked on EXA for years.
Comment 4  Martin Schreiber      2014-09-24 06:36:36 UTC  
What to do now? What do you recommend?
"
No further actions since then...
