[Bug 347569] Re: [RS482] glxgears low fps
After testing the patch on amd64, I have not noticed any instabilities, and all GL programs tested so far seem to work normally and much faster. The whole system is tremendously more responsive and my GLX gears get double the scores on my Radeon 200M that it was getting with the unpatched mesa. The results were immediately noticeable upon installation. -- [RS482] glxgears low fps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347569 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

Irom Nike: You should be able to try out the .deb file posted above, but be warned that it is an untested binary and may break something. If you installed the jaunty-updates version of mesa, then you may need all the mesa related packages updated with the patch versions. I am on my laptop (a 64bit platform) right now and 300kms from home, but I could assist in compiling a full set of 32bit binaries once I get home, since my home server is a 32bit OS. I might even be able to compile them remotely, but I have been having troubles with that computer since I upgraded it to jaunty (Almost a cliche). It isn't jaunty's fault on that machine, it has been sick for some time, the upgrade just exposed its issues. BTW. I have done more tests with that patch against desktop effects, games, wined3d, etc. It has been rock solid for me, but my computer has no TCL. I am uncertain whether a card with TCL would break or not. Bryce Harrington: I am curious if a personal ppa is in order? Will this patch get pushed to updates or backports? If not, I am ok to open a ppa in the mean time for only those with cards that are suffering until the radeon-rewrite code becomes the norm. In testing this code on my 200M fairly well with all the 3d pressure of desktop effects with magic lamp and desktop cube enabled, it hasn't crashed once and has run like a dream. It is faster than I ever remember my card functioning and the constant memory leak issues that I used to experience seem to have gone away. Videos that used to pin my cpu (3d texture mapped) now don't even make the computer busy at all. 3D video games run faster than I ever remember them running, and likewise don't tax the computer anymore, and the general stability of the system seems to have improved. Obviously, because of the reduced cpu usage my computer consistently runs cooler and the battery lasts longer. I would like those with TCL capabilities to offer their experiences too. If it locks up TCL supporting cards, we obviously can't send the patch to the updates repo, but we can reserve it only to certain models in a ppa. -- [RS482] glxgears low fps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347569 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

Hi Jeremy, Thanks for chasing down a patch. I've packaged it for jaunty and stuck it in my ppa for testing: https://edge.launchpad.net/~bryceharrington/+archive/ppa It might be feasible for an SRU, so I'll add the jaunty task and mark it fixed in karmic since this patch is already included in the version we have there. But I'd like to see more extensive testing done to be sure it doesn't cause regressions first. If you can scare up half a dozen people to give it a try and we find no regressions, then we can look at SRUing it. ** Also affects: mesa (Ubuntu Jaunty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: mesa (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Fix Released ** Summary changed: - [RS482] glxgears low fps + [RS482] low performance due to removal of _tnl_ProgramCacheInit() -- [RS482] low performance due to removal of _tnl_ProgramCacheInit() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347569 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

I also have a 200M chipset on a laptop and have been experiencing the same troubles. I followed the link that sergks left there and installed those components, I also installed the newer radeon drivers, but it messed up my ability to run any GL programs that would run before, GLX gears runs beautifully however, and so does desktop effects. I will try using the older driver again to be sure that it isn't as a result of the new driver alone. -- [RS482] glxgears low fps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347569 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 347569] Re: [RS482] glxgears low fps
More on the previous post. It appears that the updated Mesa does fix this problem, but other programs like warzone 2100 and wine are built against mesa 1.4 libraries and they crash the whole system. The updated radeon drivers don't seem to have any noticeable effect. In order to implement this fix with the 1.6 base, just about every Mesa linked 3D program would also need updating. I doubt this will ever happen, but the fix mentioned above can be applied to the 1.4.0 branch. The details of the official patch are here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=ed4c6cbe017b4e8bacb7e012d4baaf77a20a2c33 We just need to backport it. -- [RS482] glxgears low fps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347569 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

This is the official patch, but it may or may not work against 1.4 sources. ** Attachment added: r300 performance fix http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27633393/r300_context_tnlcache_fix.patch -- [RS482] glxgears low fps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347569 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

This patch is the wrong one. It is an old patch. The correct patch has similar results to the mesa libraries mentioned above. -- [RS482] glxgears low fps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347569 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

Updated patch. This one moves one of the TNL lines. Apparently it improves performance, but as the author mentioned it causes lockups for some things.
