Would you mind ensuring that we have LP bug reports for each of those corruption issues, so we can forward them upstream and hopefully get them resolved before Jaunty? Include your lspci -vvnn, Xorg.0.log and (if possible) a photo in each bug report since we'll need that info when upstreaming. snip Hi, Yes, I will see to it that each of the corruption-issues I mentioned will get a LP bug. They can propagate upstream from here, like you said. I can reproduce all of the issues easily, except the mouse cursor corruption, which is more rare. I'll make sure the necessary info is included in each report.

[Bug 269357] Re: Video playback failes with compiz enabled
An update on enabling EXA-acceleration in xserver-xorg-video-radeon 6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2: There are small corruption issues, and so it is right to still default to XAA. The issues are not big, however: * If I use a bitmap-font in Gnome-terminal (yes, Fixed 6x13 is my favorite of all times), there is annoying glyph-corruption. This never happens with fonts that are anti-aliased, so workaround is to not use bitmapped fonts in Gnome-terminal. * There is occasional small corruptions around check-box-widgets in web page forms when scrolling the page in Firefox. I've only seen this on pages with a large number of these boxes, like a typical GMail inbox. * Very rarely, there is slight corruption below the mouse cursor, but only for certain applications. I've seen it in Emacs and when running a remote Firefox using X-forwarding (on RHEL5). I plan to post proper bug-reports of these issues when I get around to it. And of course, if anyone knows about work-arounds for these issues, please do tell ! Also worth mentioning that I have tried the latest GIT-snapshot of the radeon-driver, and it works fine, but none of the issues above are fixed. -- Video playback failes with compiz enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Oh, and aside from the small corruption issues I mentioned above, the radeon-driver works extremely well, and is truly excellent for general desktop usage with Compiz.

[Bug 269357] Re: Video playback failes with compiz enabled
I've god Intrepid installed, and switched to EXA-acceleration in the radeon driver. It works great ! Video no longer causes crashes. I'm also pleased to see how much better the radeon-driver works compared to fglrx (for general non-gaming usage). I haven't observed any issues with corruption, yet. -- Video playback failes with compiz enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 269357] Re: Video playback failes with compiz enabled
Hi folks. I just tested the Intrepid RC live-CD on a laptop of mine, and XVideo is plain out of the question. Totem always crashes with the BadAlloc-error. The laptop has an ATI X1400 (R5XX) graphics card in it. I know I can solve it all after installation by going the Catalyst /fglrx-way, but I was really hoping I could use the open source drivers by now. Also, needless to say, this is a rather serious issue, since Compiz is enabled by default, after all .. I will try changing the acceleration-method to EXA after I've got this Intrepid-thing installed for real.

I think we may look into switching to EXA by default on -ati in jaunty.
