[Desktop-packages] [Bug 996168] Re: 10de:032c nouveau doesn't render items on lower third of desktop

2014-01-09 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
thom, thank you for your comment. Regarding the severe performance regression 
going from 12.04 to 14.04, I would file a new report via a terminal so this 
could be bisected and dealt with separately via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg

Regarding the original issue noted in the Bug Description, I am closing
this report because as per your comment
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-
nouveau/+bug/996168/comments/23 the bug has been fixed in the latest
development version of Ubuntu - Trusty Tahr.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in
previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the
SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

Thank you for your understanding.

  10de:032c nouveau doesn't render items on lower third of desktop

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On the desktop, items that are moved down to below 1/3 of the screen
  disappear behind an invisible horizon. It seems like although the
  desktop and backdrop are rendered nicely full screen, the items on it
  seem to be rendered to a smaller field and get clipped when passing
  the border. Resizing the desktop to another size and back again seem
  to solve this issue.

  WORKAROUND: NV34 (64MB) with laptop screen 1024x768, @60. Resizing and
  then resizing back again seems to be the only fix without disabling
  render acceleration.

  WORKAROUND: Put the code below in a file, make it executable and put it in 
startup applications in your desktop:
  #!/bin/bash
  xrandr --output LVDS-1 --mode 800x600 --panning 800x600

2014-01-08 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
thom, thank you for providing the requested information. Given that the
xorg-edgers PPA would not provide an even newer version of nouveau, and
Trusty's nouveau 1.0.10 is well synced with upstreams
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau/ , the issue you
are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this upstream
by following the instructions _verbatim_ at
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ ?

Please provide a direct URL to your post once you have made it so that
it may be tracked.

Thank you for your understanding.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 996168] Re: 10de:032c nouveau doesn't render items on lower third of desktop

2014-01-08 Thread thom
Christopher, I installed the last developement release of Ubuntu (14.04)
and it  stalls after graphical login, leaving a blank screen so I only
could try to fix stuff from the commandline.

I managed to get the apport report via commandline. I have my fingers
crossed that the apport report did came through.

After that I did some tinkering and generated an Xorg.conf (Xorg -configure) 
and it mistakenly reported 4 videocards.  After deleting the superfluous 
entries I could start the Graphical desktop but it is extremely slow (it takes 
several minutes to open a terminal which immediately locked up for several 
minutes) so it was quite difficult to test if the bug was still present.
At the moment the computer is working very very hard for several minutes now, 
trying to maximize a window. :-)
htop reports 100% CPU usage.
I guess that the whopping amount of 64MB VideoRAM is not really adequate for 
14.04

I did manage to move a terminalwindow, however, just  before it locked
up. :-)

The reported bug seems indeed to be SOLVED in 14.04,  thanks :-)

The downside is, of course, that 14.04 is not usable in it's present state on 
this rig. 
I could do some further testing. I persume it would be more adequate to use 
Lubuntu then ?
