  [Cherry Trail] [modeset] Cursor flickering on dual screen setup

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When running on dual screen config, the cursor is heavily flickering.
  Makes it a very unpleasant experience, if not renders it unusable. If
  switched to only single screen, cursor is completely stable.

  When issuing 
  xrandr --output HDMI-2 --scale 0.99x0.99
  again cursor is stable. Switching to 200% scaling in the desktop settings, 
doesn't help.

  I tried to catch the effect in a movie. However, because of frame
  rate, it is not possible to show the effect. If if its helpful, let me
  know and I'll try harder.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1913963] Re: [Cherry Trail] [modeset] Cursor flickering on dual screen setup

2021-02-02 Thread Ronald Huetter
In Ubuntu-Budgie the above trick doesn't solve the problem. I notice
that Ubuntu Desktop is using gdm3 whereas Ubuntu Budgie is using
lightdm. They are calling xorg with different arguments. So I
reconfigured Budgie for gdm3 and, after creating the monitor.xml file,
the flicker is gone.

I hope, this helps to fix the problem in Budgie. Let me know, if I can
do something else.

Respective xorg command lines:

Ubuntu-Budgie:
/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 
-nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch

Ubuntu Desktop:
/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg vt2 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority 
-nolisten tcp -background none -noreset -keeptty -novtswitch -verbose 3

Ubuntu-Budgie with gdm3:
/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg vt2 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority 
-nolisten tcp -background none -noreset -keeptty -novtswitch -verbose 3

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1913963] Re: [Cherry Trail] [modeset] Cursor flickering on dual screen setup

2021-02-02 Thread Ronald Huetter
Have to add to the above: after first login, I rearranged the screens
using the Display Settings. That creates a file ~/.config/monitors.xml.
That file does some magic in preventing the flickering. However, it
becomes effective only after logging out and logging in again, so I was
mislead when testing the flickering above. Anyways: deleting the file,
logging out, logging in (Xorg) and the flickering is back. Rearranging
screens, logging out/in: flickering is gone.

With this, I'll try on Ubuntu-Budgie again.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1913963] Re: [Cherry Trail] [modeset] Cursor flickering on dual screen setup

2021-02-02 Thread Ronald Huetter
Hi,
first to say: I've been testing Ubuntu-Budgie. There is no option to run on 
Wayland. So I downloaded (2021-02-02) and installed Ubuntu 21.04 Desktop to 
perform the test and found some surprising results:
1. fresh installation, running on Xorg: the flickering is clearly visible. In 
fact, the cursor flickers, if anywhere on the screen some redrawing happens. 
To reproduce: open Term. A slight flickering is visible whenever the console 
cursor is disappearing and reappearing. This is also the case outside the Term 
window. Increase the effect by launching Firefox and browse to cnn.com. While 
opening the page, a lot of redrawing is happening (the little bullet in the 
tab, some line in the bottom about loading, and the many items on the page. 
During the pay load, cursor is flickering anywhere on the screen.
2. logout and login, this time on Wayland: No such effect.
3. logout and login, again on Xorg, again no such effect!

Btw.: I cancelled to install updates to keep a stable environment, so
just the version as indicated above.

If you have any idea, how logging in on Wayland cured this effect
(reinstalled two times to be sure), I might be able to check on Ubuntu-
Budgie (where I can't simply select Wayland).

Title:
  [Cherry Trail] [modeset] Cursor flickering on dual screen setup

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When running on dual screen config, the cursor is heavily flickering.
  Makes it a very unpleasant experience, if not renders it unusable. If
  switched to only single screen, cursor is completely stable.

  When issuing 
  xrandr --output HDMI-2 --scale 0.99x0.99
  again cursor is stable. Switching to 200% scaling in the desktop settings, 
doesn't help.

  I tried to catch the effect in a movie. However, because of frame
  rate, it is not possible to show the effect. If if its helpful, let me
  know and I'll try harder.
