https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38689 --- Comment #7 from Michel Dänzer mic...@daenzer.net 2011-06-27 02:47:29 PDT --- (In reply to comment #7) I even tried with XAA, disabling ColorTiling, PCI bus type, disabling AGP Fast Writes, disabling DRI, ... to no avail. Most of these X driver options are ineffective with KMS. On my TV, which I connect from the DVI-0 output to a HDMI input (although I also tried through VGA), I can see it sets the video mode correctly, 1920*1080@50. In fact the kms console works fine all along. Even with the black xorg screen, I can switch back to a kms console and it works. What X clients are (supposed to be) running at that point? A login manager such as gdm or kdm, or a user session? If the latter, is it using an OpenGL compositing manager? I considered doing a bisect between 2.6.34 and 2.6.35 but there are far too many commits within drm for it to be feasible (it is not exactly fast this oldie). As a quick'n'dirty test, you could try compiling the 2.6.35 radeon driver with KMS_DRIVER_MINOR modified to 3 in drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_drv.c . If that works around the problem, it's probably indeed related to the GLX sync extensions, and there's probably no point in bisecting the kernel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati

I use xinit, with an empty .xinitrc and launch xbmc in full screen mode. (In the future, please include this kind of information in bug reports; this isn't exactly a standard setup) Yeah, I know it is not standard at all, a completely custom Gentoo HTPC/NAS. I tried to include everything I could think of but I was pretty sure I would forget something. Does setting the environment variable vblank_mode=0 for xbmc work around the problem? Both ways are successful. I had just compiled a new 2.6.35.9 with KMS_DRIVER_MINOR set to 3 and it works fine that way. Right now I booted from a previously compiled 2.6.39.1, setting the env vblank_mode to 0 and it also works fine. I understand we are disabling the sync extension, are we? Or does the vlank_mode=0 do anything else? I am now checking how well video plays. On 2.6.39.1 with vblank_mode=0 video playback is quite worse than I was used to. There is no tearing, but there is some kind of blockiness in the animation. On 2.6.35.9 with KMS_DRIVER_MINOR=3 video is almost like in not sync enabled kernels although there is still some blockiness, not as noticeable as in the other kernel though (vblank_mode is not set). You'll tell me whether we dig further to find if I can use the sync extension on this card or I shall force the older kms driver minor. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati

Michel, upon further testing how it performs in the three different scenarios, video playback is definitely worse with the 2.6.35 patched kernel and even worse with vblank_mode=0 with a 2.6.39 kernel. With the patched kernel it seems playback starts playing fine but after a while it gets that blockiness I told you before. BTW, I am running the latest xorg release candidate, but mesa 7.9.2. I didn't notice any difference at all between all the xorg releases I tested, whereas with mesa 7.10 playback gets worse than with 7.9.x compiled without llvm, gles or gallium. With 7.10 playback is unchanged by any of these. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati

I use xinit, with an empty .xinitrc and launch xbmc in full screen mode. Does setting the environment variable vblank_mode=0 for xbmc work around the problem? Sorry to bother you again Michel. It seems the video I was playing was the cause of the blockiness. Instead of an OTA recorded video I am now using a dvdrip and playback is smooth in all three cases. I am really sorry for the confusion. It's just the recorded video I chose at random had stuttering on some parts. As far as I'm concerned I can settle for any of the options you gave me. Unless you deem it worth looking for the black screen's cause with vblank/sync enabled, I'm willing to try anything you ask me to. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
