[Bug 426582] Re: (32MB) certain windows drawn garbled when XAA is used

2010-03-17 Thread Bryce Harrington
** 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.

2010-03-06 Thread jtniehof
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.

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.

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. Sorry I can't find the
bug reference.

The messy notification in Lucid alpha2 isn't a bug, it's intentional
debugging code for the alpha.  Upgrading to current lucid resolves this.

Can others confirmed that the original issue here is resolved in lucid?

I can also confirm that in Lucid Alpha 2 this bug is not an issue
anymore for Dell Inspiron 5100 with Radeon Mobility 7500. Everything
works well including notification pop-ups. The only problem that
appeared again - flash works terribly slow in Firefox. It worked well in
Jaunty, then it became too slow in Karmic, then somewhere in between
Lucid Alpha 1 and Alpha 2 it worked normally. But now after several
updates it works bad again.

2010-02-22 Thread Richard
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. Attached screenshot of notification issue.

FYI Its not a problem for me in Lucid Alpha 2!  Meantime you can create 
an xorg.conf file as such:

Section "Device"
Identifier"Radeon 7200"
Driver"ati"
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 
best I'd consider EXA to be a little flakey but it should address the 
problem.

According to ATI, the Radeon 7200 I list previously comes with 64MB onboard 
RAM. Even if it did not, I used a lower resolution and 16-bpp depth instead of 
full resolution and 24-bpp.

I now have a definitve answer.  I found the "Maintanance and Service
Guide" for my laptop. It reads: "32 MB of discrete video memory".

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.

The bug description remains valid.

I am assuming mistr has similar hardware as my Compaq Evo N610c laptop,
which only has 32mb vram (dedicated card, not shared)

Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0

To fix this problem, I simply needed to create an xorg.conf with this:

 Section "Device"
Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
Driver "radeon"
Option  "AccelMethod""XAA"  
Option  "RenderAccel" "off"
Option  "EnablePageFlip" "true" 
EndSection

The EnablePageFlip seems to remedy some graphical artifacts during
Kubuntu's login

As a side note, in Kubuntu all the plasma components show this graphical
corruption: the taskbar, main menu, window decorations, etc.

2010-01-19 Thread mistr
I'm not sure where to look for the video ram size. I didn't find anything in 
the Xorg log file. 
lspci -v reports:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW 
[Radeon Mobility 7500]
Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation Device 00b7
Flags: bus master, stepping, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 11

[virtual] Expansion ROM at 4042 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: 
Kernel modules: radeon, radeonfb

My guess: 128M (which wouldn't fit the 32 MB of less theory)

Initial situation:
- Laptop, Compac Evo 610c, Karmic 32 bit
- The well-known garbled output in the gnome-notifier and gnome-system-monitor 
with compiz off (my normal setting).
- No problems with compiz turned on.
- Problem still present with the current xorg-edgers drivers.

Current work-around:
Automatically generated xorg.conf with a single change:
Option  "RenderAccel" "off"

Test done so far:
- EXA: works but is visibly slower
- KMS: works, but is visibly slower, leaves artifacts on the screen when 
objects are moved (which will be cleaned up eventually)

2010-01-17 Thread Brad Krause
FOUND WORK-AROUND: (This is not a proper solution, just a work-
around that works well.)

Install package: notification-daemon 0.4.0-1ubuntu3 (gets rid of garbage in 
notification balloons)
optional: libnotify-bin (notify-osd library containing command-line 
'notify-send')

Fixes: Garbage displayed in notify-osd balloon. Balloon now contains
text and a countdown timer (if specified, and there isn't any
documentation in 'man notify-send' on how to get the timer).

Side-effect: Balloon position may not be the same, and moving the mouse
over the balloon doesn't hide it.

Note: xorg.conf setting of 24 bits/pixel -> 16 bits/pixel may not be
needed. (Tested with 64MB video RAM, not 32MB).

[Bug 426582] Re: (32MB) certain windows drawn garbled when XAA is used

2010-01-14 Thread Brad Krause
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.
Adding 'DefaultDepth 16' was necessary to force 16bpp mode.  'xwininfo'
reported 'Depth: 16', and the problem still exists. See the second
screen in the attached image for graphics details and notify-osd
problem.

Changing the color depth from 24-bit to 16-bit would be great EXCEPT I
have Xubuntu 9.10 running and there is no xorg.conf file, as XRandR
manages everything. There is no option in the display menu and I cannot
find documentation on how to change the color depth in a terminal
window. How do I change the color depth?

Note: Same problem on the ATI Radeon 7200.

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.

This is still present in Lucid Alpha 1. Bug #416001 appears to be the

neither one is easily marked duplicate. See also bug #429251, which

Tormod, do you have any advices/remarks on these options I've set in the
xorg.conf? I based it on the radeon man file, having only the
information written there.

Guys, you could also test KMS, I tried it on a desktop Radeon 7500 card and had 
some slight performance improvement.
It doesn't work on my laptop though.
Here you can add the test results: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/478493

enabling KMS is quite easy, its just a GDM shutdown, module reload, GDM restart 
as written in:

[Bug 426582] Re: (32MB) certain windows drawn garbled when XAA is used

2009-12-04 Thread a.tom
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.

As far as I know, the only difference between Normal and Extra is the
number of active compiz plugins, which can be inspected with gconf-
editor (or by running: gconftool2 --get
/apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins). On my computer
(lucid) it just adds "shift" and "wobbly".

2009-12-04 Thread zcacogp
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. My xorg.conf file is thus:

I just updated some xorg package but no fix for the moment. XAA does not
support compiz EXA is too slow for me. I tried KMS (thanks toTormod
Volden cmt #27) the only benefit is that both XAA and EXA are able to
launch compiz (EXA used to freeze my X31) but i get some other strange
FX (see attachments)

For me the right configuration is XAA+RenderAccel="False" ... EXA is too
slow on my laptop.

using no xorg.conf or one with xaa acceleration causes the screen

Creating an xorg.conf and changing to exa allows everything to display

Ylon, please file a new bug (using ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-ati)
because this report is not about crashes or warnings. Identify your
graphics card with "lspci -nn | grep VGA".

I had similar problem back on Linux Mint 7 (wich is based upon ubuntu) when I'd 
try update some xorg file on ~tormod update (it add some dependencies with 
something like ~libgl-drm~ like). Switch back with the normal xorg dependencies 
it did work, but update with the ~tormod update, give me back these problem.


I would like to try again the old xorg driver (without ~tormod addon) to test 
if this solve my problem.. but I don't know how since it was on another 
repository (the xorg file with ~less~ problem)

2009-11-11 Thread Colin Beckingham
Toshiba Satellite 1110 with small video memory also has this problem.
Tried above suggestions related to xorg.conf and acceleration settings, this 
results in a system that refuses to boot into Ubuntu and has to be hard reset.
What does work (so far) on this machine is to set System -> Preferences -> 
Appearance -> Visual Effects to "None".
However good luck getting to change the setting in the GUI since it defaults to 
"Normal" which is marginally usable on this old machine.

In regards to comment #22, in order to run X -configure, you must not
have X running. The best way in my experience to accomplish this is to
switch to a virtual console with Ctrl-Alt-F1, and stop GDM with "sudo
/etc/init.d/gdm stop"

I am experiencing this bug on karmic with ATI Mobility Radeon 7500
Graphics Controller on a Dell C640. I have problems with the OSD-
notifications and with System Monitor.

I have not been able to run Xorg -configure because there is a lock file
/tmp/.X0-lock that I can't seem to work around. I tried the recovery
console but fails to go into recovery mode and just boots back to the
login screen.

so yes, big problem here

Steve, yes, using EXA instead of disabling RenderAccel should generally
be better for performance. However, EXA has proven to perform poorly on
cards with little memory, which is why XAA is chosen by default for
these cards.

2009-10-29 Thread Steve McGrath
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...

Jamie, I believe this report is about the same issue. Please file a new

I previously wrote:
"Actually, bug #429295 was pointed out to me. Simply using:
 Option "RenderAccel" "off"

 works and I don't have to use EXA to prevent lockups."

Turns out this was a lie. It helped but I would still get lockups. The
RenderAccel did help with bug #429295 though.

We should probably disable RenderAccel when using XAA. This might only
be a problem when running out of VRAM, but we are only using XAA in low-
memory conditions in the first place.

a.tom, ok, it's <= 32 MB so it's close enough.

For those who want to try KMS, there are some issues with KMS in Karmic
due to a module loading order problem. Try adding "fbcon" to
/etc/modules. See also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/RadeonKMS
