I didn't know such a thing existed.

Dô, I forgot : This bug here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/250931 Really really looks a duplicate of this one, it's just that it's even easier to spot it with java applications than qt/gtk ones. Also there is a good test case in it (bad-linux-java.tgz) wich should expose the problem to anyone affected by the bug. You'll probably get 1 or 2 FPS with the bug while it's very smooth without the bug, Try with or withou t(Option "NoAccel" "Yes") acceleration to see the difference -- [RV100] very poor Xorg performance on various older graphics HW - XAA no longer works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363238 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 363238] Re: [RV100] very poor Xorg performance on various older graphics HW - XAA no longer works
Just to add informations : This problem was present in karmic, upgrading to lucid didn't change anything and I tried to manually compile the last stable radeon drivers (xf86-video-ati-6.13.0) and it still doesn't solve the problem. So, at least for my board : $ sudo lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] with no xorg config file (wich means using EXA acceleration) and using a poor performance CPU, Xorg operations are sluggish, CPU usage is high (sometimes stucked at 100%). I've tried all proposed solutions presented here, disabled all possible "bling bling" effects in gnome/kde and hardly got a few spare CPU cycles. I'm unable to switch to XAA for a test has it seams to be disabled in recent drivers (log files show it doesn't care about my Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" and still talks about using EXA) I'll have a try at finding an old driver version if XAA is still able to be activated with recent xorg version Funny note for the end : It is so sluggish with EXA "acceleration", that I choose to just disable acceleration (Option "NoAccel" "Yes") This gives me better 2D performances, with the drawback of disabling OpenGL wich I need to renable with 2 xorg.conf files whether I want GL or not. Maybe I'll have a try with the vesa driver ? :-) -- [RV100] very poor Xorg performance on various older graphics HW - XAA no longer works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363238 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

can't complain under Lucid. It works out of the box with my Radeon Mobility M6 LY.

a follow up: DRI was disabled because of not enough memory available. I increased the video memory and things got worse.

Hi all, I just went through all the posts here but I experience another problem: with XAA I get seriously corrupted graphics in some applications. Especially in adobe acrobat the scrollbars are just garbage and the pop up messages from the network manager are just random dots.

[Bug 363238] Re: [RV100] very poor Xorg performance on various older graphics HW - XAA no longer works
Alright, well look - first this already has been sent upstream and is marked fixed there. So this is a lame duck bug report. Second, this is a bug against really old hardware, which is not really much of a priority for us. Third, it's a performance issue, which while important is not something we generally do a lot of work on at the distro level except in macro terms. I am closing the bug as wont fix because I think whatever needs done here needs to be done upstream. Normally I would help you by sending the bug upstream, but since this already has an upstream task that is closed, that is no longer possible. If you are willing to file a NEW bug, we might still help out. But otherwise I think it's best we close this bug and encourage you to go upstream directly to get their assistance for this hardware. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- [RV100] very poor Xorg performance on various older graphics HW - XAA no longer works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363238 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
