[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1820832] Re: [xorg] multiple monitors: limits the framerate of faster 120/144hz monitors to 60hz

2020-10-04 Thread dreamcat4
OK I have now regression tested on the latest 19.10, with the above
^^software stack. All except incrementing the kernel from 5.8.11 to
5.8.13.

I can now confirm that the old bug has also re-appeared on 19.10 too. So
it is not only exclusive to 20.04.

To myself, I really don know what to try. But I had been holding off
upgrading to 20.04 only because of this bug. Daniel - do you need me for
any more testing on 19.10? So i may be free to upgrade? Thank you for
letting me know.

My opinion would be first try rolling back the nvidia driver stack, to a
version that was latest at the time when we last confirmed this bug was
fixed.

I.e.

nvidia-driver-450/eoan,now 450.57-0ubuntu0~0.19.10.2 amd64 [installed]
  NVIDIA driver metapackage

Roll that back.

Hopefully we can do this still on 20.04? Is that older package going to
still work on 20.04? Thanks again! Please get back in touch.

It would be nice to understand what is going on here. Currently on 19.10
and have not upgraded to 20.04 yet... because of this very same bug! It
took so long to get rid of the last time around. Many months.

Should also do a regression test here back on 19.10 too? It seems I can
install both the latest kernel v5.8.11 and the nvidia drivers are
currently at 450.57 (on this system).

Looking to re-test here soon... also need to remember / check my version
of gnome shell (xorg). It seems to be this one?

gnome-shell/eoan-updates,now 3.34.3-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 amd64 [installed]

According to my machine those are all now fully up to date, for what is
currently available on the ubuntu 19.10 release. All these above as of
today ^^. With 0 pending updates. Oh wait... mutter version?

libmutter-2-0/now 3.28.3-2~ubuntu18.04.2 amd64 [installed,local]
  window manager library from the Mutter window manager

libmutter-5-0/eoan-updates,now 3.34.3-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 amd64 
[installed,automatic]
  window manager library from the Mutter window manager

mutter/eoan-updates,now 3.34.3-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 amd64 [installed]
  Example window manager using GNOME's window manager library


Will come back with the testing results in my next comment. After a clean boot 
into gnome shell etc.

Did you see it work on previous ubuntu version (19.10)? Or is 20.04 the

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1820832] Re: [xorg] multiple monitors: limits the framerate of faster 120/144hz monitors to 60hz

2019-09-27 Thread dreamcat4
Hello there. Good news for a change:

Re-tested this bug today on latest linux 5.3.1 kernel and nvidia 435.21
binary (closed) drivers. And it seems like there might be some
improvement now.

What I noticed this time:

* Enabled 120hz overclock on my high refresh 120hz monitor, and rebooted this 
monitor. It is my primary display.
* Opened nvidia settings ("NVIDIA X Server Settings")
* Set the frame rate of this dispaly in there to 120hz with force full 
composition pipeline both on
* Frame rate was initially capped at 60 fps. Which matches the slower 2nd 
monitor as before. As shown by the command: 'sudo journalctl -f'
* Then I unplugged my 2nd slower 60hz monitor.
* Frame rate was still capped at 60 fps
* Closed some graphical (probably open GL based) programs: Glxgears, kodi, and 
bitwig studio.
* Frame rate was now capped to 71 fps
* Went back to NVIDIA settings GUI
* Navigated to "OpenGL Settings" page
* Un-checked all of the first 4 settings on that page, which were:

[ ] "Sync to VBlank"
[ ] "Allow Flipping"
[ ] "Allow G-SYNC/G-SYNC Compatible"
[ ] "Enable G-SYNC/G-SYNC Compatible Visual Indicator"

* The fps shown in 'sudo journalctl -f' is now going all the way up to
120hz. Whilst running the command 'glxgears' to make a graphical
workload

I then went back and re-enabled all of the options in the OpenGL page,
except for "Allow Flipping", like this:

[x] "Sync to VBlank"
[ ] "Allow Flipping"
[x] "Allow G-SYNC/G-SYNC Compatible"
[x] "Enable G-SYNC/G-SYNC Compatible Visual Indicator"

* The frame rate was still reaching up to 120Hz.
* Then I plugged my 2nd slower 60hz monitor back into the NVIDIA graphics card
* Previously this was the point in the test when the frame rate would 
immediately drop back down to only 60 FPS

However this time, it stayed at 120fps. Which is very encouraging and a
positive result from my testing today.


What I am not sure about:

* How easily it is to get the system into this state
* For example whether it can come up like this after a reboot. Or if it 
requires a certain ritual / ceremony / fernagaling to get everything to this 
point
* How stable this state is, how delicate / easily broken by launching some 
specific program(s).

In particular I am thinking about fullscreen games. However my gpu here
(GT 1030) simply isn't powerful enough to do proper testing for more
demanding programs and workloads like that.

Anyhow I think it's a great result from what we can observe so far. Just
wish I had a better graphics card now.

well by that logic, then somebody with an amd ryzen APU (such as 3200G
or whichever with the integrated Vega graphics). Would also not be
affected by this bug.

But the other reason would be that intel's linux igp drivers are not
affected. That is a different reason as to whether the gpu is being
recognized as being discrete (or perhaps egpu) or not.

Hello. Tried this suggestion today (setting "__GL_MaxFramesAllowed=1" in
/etc/environment, and rebooting). It might have decreased my CPU usage,
I am not certain. However what I am sure of is that it does no fix the
60hz framerate issue with multiple monitors, on NVIDIA.

So have now reported the bug over on NVIDIA's forum. With links back to

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Gnome Shell redraws at 60 FPS at most, regardless of the hardware
  refresh rate, and regardless of the current display mode. This is
  particularly annoying for owners of 144Hz/120Hz/240Hz displays.

  [Test Case]

  0. Find a monitor or laptop with a high refresh rate (120Hz or more),
  noting NOT to trust gnome-control-center or xrandr because an
  unrelated bug in mutter may cause those to report 120Hz even on 60Hz
  displays. Make sure the advertised hardware specs show the display is
  a high frame rate.

  1. Edit /etc/environment and add:
     CLUTTER_SHOW_FPS=1

  2. Reboot.

  3. Open a terminal window and run:
     journalctl -f | grep FPS

  4. In a new window run 'glmark2' or some other OpenGL benchmark that
  is not frame rate limited (note: glxgears for unrelated reasons IS
  frame rate limited in Wayland sessions, but can be used in Xorg
  sessions).

  5. Verify the terminal window from step 4 shows high FPS values coming
  from the journalctl log that match the hardware spec, and are much
  higher than 60.

  [Regression Potential]

  Medium to low. This patch has been used upstream and in Ubuntu 19.04
  for some months already without any issues. Although minor syntactical
  changes had to be made to avoid conflicts when backporting it from
  mutter 3.32 to mutter 3.30. If regressions did occur they would be
  visible in the frame rate of the entire screen.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1820832] [NEW] (xorg) multiple monitors: limits the framerate of faster 120/144hz monitors to 60hz

2019-03-19 Thread dreamcat4
Public bug reported:

multiple monitors on xorg
=

Was recently discussed over on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1763892

Another user + myself have the following issue:

The slowest connected display limits the FPS. The test case we used is
over at the top of the other bug report ^^

This we found today happens with either amd vega graphics, or nvidia
pascal graphics, the vendor doesn't seem to matter. We have both seen
the same issue (xorg).

This is on 18.10, and booting into the 'Gnome (xorg)' login option. With
the FPS being logged by journalctl -f. With only single monitor
attached. Then it initially goes as high as the primary monitor can
show. (And glmark2 running in background, to maintain a continued load).
Which is 120fps for my case. Then as soon as secondary monitor is
plugged in, which is a 60hz TV. This is being plugged into the HDMI port
of the same graphics card in real time. Then the FPS logged by
'journalctl -f' drops, and becomes capped to 60hz, in the output being
printed by journalctl -f.

My setup:
kernel 5.0.0-05-lowlatency #201903032031
NVIDIA Driver for UNIX platforms 415.27 (the closed source one)
ubuntu 18.10

mutter version:

mutter/cosmic-updates,now 3.30.2-1~ubuntu18.10.4 amd64 [installed]
mutter-common/cosmic-updates,cosmic-updates,now 3.30.2-1~ubuntu18.10.4 all 
[installed]

To confirm where the '.4' at the very end of the ~ubuntu18.10.4 version
number, it seems to be that we have updated now on our client machines
the be most recent bugfix updates, kindly provided by Daniel. Which
closed the other bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1763892 being
referred to, as being solved for people's single monitor scenarios.

Thanks again for the other recent bug fixes in this area, it is a nice
progress. Very helpful! We hope you can also look into this latest
problem / issue for the multiple monitor scenario.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1763892] Re: 144Hz/120Hz monitor but mutter seems to cap rendering at 60FPS

2019-03-17 Thread dreamcat4
> I'm on 18.10 with dual monitors, and I'm still capped at 60hz on my
144hz display. However, if I disable my second display (it only supports
60hz), I my main gets 144hz as expected.

Is that with both dislays attached to an nvidia graphics card ? If so,
then what version of the nvidia driver, and linux kernel (dmesg | grep
-i nvidia && uname -a).

Another interesting thing (for multi-monitor users) is to see if the
same thing happens with both of the monitors connected off of the intel
integrated graphics (motherboard ports) instead. (Should that be an
option, for these testing / debugging purposes).

Installed new mutter from proposed today and... Well it didn't crash my
system. Due to other complications (which were mentioned previously in
may last comment)/ I cannot confirm if it actually fixes the 120/144hz
issue in my specific environment. However the changes seems safe enough
to me. Hopefully others can also install / confirm / deny.

Thanks Daniel for your recent comments. They are very helpful. As
someone who upgraded to Cosmic specifically to fix this bug. I found it
still wasn't working and simple was not sure the reason (as have other
factors at play on my system, including Budgie Desktop, multiple
monitors, and nvidia card with the closed 415.xx drivers). And even
after switching to intel igp (and physically removing my nvidia graphics
card), loading up Gnome 3 / unity desktop instead of budgie, and
physically disconnecting my 2nd 60hz TV. The original 'remove patch' +
CLUTTER_FPS env var still was not changing anything. My xrandr output is
claiming 120hz (for acer x34p monitor). However it's still mouse trails
and not feeling 120hz.

However my other factor of uncertainty is having a very low powered gpu
(GT 1030 pascal). However that should be enough? for just regular
desktop. Without anything more taxing

Basically I don't want to spend hundreds of pounds on a more powerful
graphics card if it cannot properly drive at high refresh rates on linux
for these other reasons. So these fixes are potentially very important
to me in respect of that future hardware buying decision.

So yes... am very much looking forward to trying out any new fixes being
targeted for cosmic. To find out if they can help anything further.
Thank you for these continued efforts towards solving this problem
Daniel.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1763892] Re: 144Hz/120Hz monitor but mutter seems to cap rendering at 60FPS

2018-11-27 Thread dreamcat4
Hi there. Sorry but I'm a bit confused as to which branches will be
getting this fix and which ones will not be. Specifically I as wondering
if a fix might be back-ported to 18.04. Because I need to stay on LTS
release for the canonical kernel live patching service. Otherwise I
really would not mind upgrading. Not using wayland over here just xorg.
Here is my mutter version. And my Ubuntu software updater says 'no new
updates'...

 $ sudo apt search mutter | grep -i mutter

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in
scripts.
