[Bug 426582] Re: (32MB) certain windows drawn garbled when XAA is used
** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati Certain applications, such as notify-osd and gnome-do, always draw windows that are unusably garbled. I have not experienced this behavior in any other application, only gnome-do and notify-osd, nor can I reproduce it on a computer with nvidia drivers (both machines are running karmic and are completely up- to-date). The issue is not otherwise related to a quirk in my system config, as I can reproduce the bug on an alpha 5 livecd.

Lucid alpha 2 and 3 display the notifcation windows fine on what lspci identifies as Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] (ThinkPad T30). However, checking X.0.log shows that the X server is using EXA, not XAA. This may explain the slow performance some people are noting. I was unable to force XAA using an xorg.conf. Bug #513956 suggests that XAA still exists, however, and is being used for some cards. apinunt: the fix is to the release notes, describing the problem, not fixing it. -- (32MB) certain windows drawn garbled when XAA is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426582 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 Tormod I just wanted to confirm that this issue is resolved for my old Radeon in latest Lucid Alpha. Concerning the slow flash - I never had swfdec installed on that system. I use flashplugin-installer only. As far as I know, Adobe uses OpenGL to accelerate video playback and requires some OpenGL features to be implemented. I'm not an OpenGL expert, so I just guess - flash playback is too slow because of the fact that Radeon driver and/or my quite old hardware don't support some essential feature. -- (32MB) certain windows drawn garbled when XAA is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426582 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

Lucid alpha 2 works well for my COMPAQ EVO N610C, EXCEPT for the notifications which have lines and oddities on them. The System Monitor works well. I can change visual effects perfectly. On Karmic, I had to install sun java (not open java) in order to be able to switch visual effect modes. In Karmic, without sun java, I had to leave the visual effects in normal, if I went to none visual effects, my open office would not be able to show buttons and check boxes correctly. I had to switch to none effects in order to show videos in Karmic in Open Office Impress. Once in none visual effects mode, I'd be trapped there, and could not return to normal without a reinstall. In Lucid alpha 2 I found open office to function normally. So apart from the notifications being messy, Lucid seems to solve my problems with this issue.

dicka, slow flash might be independent of the graphics driver - try removing the swfdec-mozilla package (disabling in Firefox is not enough) if you are using the Adobe flashplugin-installer.

FYI Its not a problem for me in Lucid Alpha 2! Meantime you can create an xorg.conf file as such: Section Device IdentifierRadeon 7200 Driverati Option AccelMethod EXA EndSection The Identifier and Driver lines may not be necessary, naturally use your display adapter model as the identifier and copy file to /etc/X11.

At least it shows, that lspci does not report the actual video memory, and if the Xorg log doesn't report it either, answering this question is non trivial.

Changed to 16bpp on 64MB ATI card, less than max. resolution, and problem still exists. I opened a terminal and ran 'xwininfo', which reported 'Depth: 24', so we know the color depth was set to 24 bpp. I also ran 'lspci' which reported I am not running in the highest resolution, so there should be extra video memory. NOTE: My card has 64MB, see the first screen in the attached image for graphics details and notify-osd problem. I restarted the system in single-user mode and ran 'Xorg -configure' then edited /root/xorg.conf.new to configure only the video information.

I don't know about the formal bug squad procedures, but I'm just guessing that if a bug is essentially the same then it should be marked as a dupe. That's obvious... What harm will it do to just mark one as a dupe of the other? I selected this bug as the original because this is marked as affecting the Ubuntu release notes and is bigger in terms of duplicates and people affected. Marking one as a dupe would, I assume, add up the number of people affected thus placing this bug in it's rightful place in the search results, better demonstrating it's importance. -- (32MB) certain windows drawn garbled when XAA is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426582 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 426582] Re: (32MB) certain windows drawn garbled when XAA is used
I am having problems with my X31 IBM Thinkpad, and think it may be this bug. (I was referred here from this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8416481#post8416481 ) My xorg.conf file is copied at the end of this post, and things work as they should sometimes. If you turn desktop effects off, re-login, and turn them on again then all is fine and the machine works as it should. However, if you logout and login again then you get a series of lines along the top of the screen, which get progressively worse. Turning desktop effects off and on again re-sets it, but it then goes bad again next time you reboot. Forgive me for saying this, but this would imply that it can work, but something is reset when the machine is rebooted which causes this problem - non? ALSO, whenever the green lines appear (as described above), I find myself unable to select things which are placed on my desktop. Is this a known facet of this problem? Oli. P.S.

[Bug 426582] Re: (32MB) certain windows drawn garbled when XAA is used
here is how I work around this bug on a Radeon Mobility M6 LY with only 8MBs of vram: first of all, it's a good idea to install the latest driver from the xorg edgers drivers only ppa: xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.12.99+git20091125.0061c4db-0ubuntu0tormod2 then we need to optimize our settings to fit in the low memory: -set the screen depth to 16 bits. on these old displays it's just barely noticeable, I highly recommend this because of the advantages. -set virtual size to your screen size, if you don't use external display. these must be enough to use DRI on EXA (compositioning, readable notifications, etc.) perfectly, if you have 16MB or more ram. i had to do some additional tuning, because with EXA I had problems with font rendering (black pixel garbage around fonts) the key to the solution is the FBTexPercent option in xorg.conf. with it, you can add extra memory to EXA at the expense of OpenGL textures. setting it to 32% made the font garbage go away for me. see my attached xorg.conf please mind that the other options that work for me (fastwrite, acceldfs, etc.) may cause problems on your machine. and one last hint: if you manage to enable DRI, you can gain a little more power by enabling HyperZ in driconf. ** Attachment added: xorg.conf http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36450641/xorg.conf -- (32MB) certain windows drawn garbled when XAA is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426582 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

Turns out this was a lie. It helped but I would still get lockups. The RenderAccel did help with bug #429295 though. Jamie, I believe this report is about the same issue. Please file a new bug for your lockup issue (and check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#ATI%20AGP%20Mode%20Quirk). -- (32MB) certain windows drawn garbled when XAA is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426582 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've been working around this for myself and others by setting AccelMethod to EXA. Can I assume that if this works, it's preferable to setting RenderAccel off? I'm just guessing that disabling RenderAccel would hurt performace, worse than switching to EXA? I could use a little clarification here for when I'm helping people deal with this on the forums and IRC... -- (32MB) certain windows drawn garbled when XAA is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426582 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
