[Bug 269904] Re: Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid
I've attached a patch that fixes the problem. To give a little more detail on the race condition: The problem is that when the X server receives a request to do some drawing, it will send the drawing commands to the video driver and then it immediately sends out the damage event. That works as long as the GPU only processes one command at a time, in the order they were given. But, an Nvidia GPU can handle multiple command streams at the same time. If the X11 rendering takes long enough, then Compiz will try to redraw the screen while the application's rendering is still in progress. The GL_EXT_x11_sync_object extension was created to fix this exact problem. It lets you use an X11 fence as an OpenGL sync object, so you can make Compiz's rendering wait until any X11 rendering has finished. ** Patch added: Add an option to use GL_EXT_x11_sync_object to synchronize updates with X11 drawing https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/269904/+attachment/3947928/+files/add_x_to_gl_sync.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269904 Title: Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/269904/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just FYI, this was actually a bug in compiz but nvidia was the first to trigger it.

Under intrepid I tried: - Force sync between X and GLX - multiple upgrades of the nvidia drivers - upgrades of compiz and xorg from ppa - in the meanwhile I do not know what I have already tried. but it have been multiple of hour of investigation. Until now no success. Now I hopefully switched to karmic, and the problems are still there, that is frustrating for me. Especially if you remind, that I tried all suggestions on the topic.

Hello, sorry for getting rude. I am working now since weeks with a crappy unsable X-Server under 9.04 32bit. Today I have lost about 4 hours of work. And I have to finish the work tomorrow until 12pm. I had never worked on such a crappy linux-distribution since the 8.10 and especially the 9.04 updates! I have never had such a crappy x-server, there the server dies regularly! Usually I had to setup the x-server one time (sometimes with pain) and only one time. And the complete work on the desktop/notebook was done. Since 8.10 the x-server seems to be a pretty crap from the point of stability. To my history. I work with linux since 10 years. With Ubuntu since 2005. I switched our servers 2006 with the availability of LTS to ubuntu. Therefore I am not a noob from the point of ubuntu-server. From the point of ubuntu-desktop. I never had a problem to fix a unstable x-server. I have asked multiple times how I could support here, to get the error fixed. For now I have got pretty few answers. I tried all proposed solutions and none of them fixed my problem. The bugs in the screenrefreshes have been eased but not fixed. I sometimes get further screenrefresh-errors on the x-screen. Now with the PPA- drivers my x-server dies pretty regularly. So am I really forced to switch to back to redhat/novell(suse)? I hope not. So again I ask you how can I support you to figure out there the problem is. I cannot see anything in the logs, which give my a clue. How can I increase the verbosity of the x-server logs and maybe the verbosity of the nvidia-driver? -- Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269904 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

For example, when I'm reading an e-mail in Evolution containing an HTTP link, if I click on the link it opens in a Firefox tab, the Firefox window tries to put on top, but the tab contents is not shown. If I minimize the Firefox window and then maximize it again (using the task bar), then the problem disappears. -- Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269904 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

Attempt to reproduce your bug After about 2 weeks of testing, I can state that it remains, although its frequency has gone down to nearly zero. I can't even talk about it in terms of frequency, because I saw it only once during 2 weeks. But the fact that I saw it once may be significant. The affected application was firefox (which was formerly more prone to this problem than most other apps). I opened a new window and loaded the front page of youtube, scrolled down, and saw the page in the same familiar condition, where a narrow band on top is copied twice, while the rest of the window image is out of sync with the text (the hyperlinks are not in the same places where they are shown). I have a feeling that with the newest workarounds, the bug has been chased into some dark corner, where it is no longer reproducible.

[Bug 269904] Re: Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid
To clarify upstream's opinion: ;-) glXWaitX is a wait operation. That obviously means for it to work, there must be a performance impact (as all GL rendering is stalled until all X rendering is done). How big the actual performance impact is, depends on a lot of factors (graphics card power, amount of pending X rendering operations, driver implementation). I have not done any performance measurements, which is why I wrote _may_ decrease performance. Because there is a potential perfomance loss involved and this option is _only_ needed for Nvidia users with loose binding, I decided to keep it disabled by default. In any case, It should definitely be safe to enable it by default in Ubuntu's packages (Kwin does it unconditionally). I have no terribly strong feeling about the upstream default either, I just don't know what the better decision (fix display problems for some vs. potential performance loss for all others) is. -- Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269904 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

Let me ask again: Why is not enabled by default? Will the fix be enabled by default on fresh Jaunty installs when Jaunty releases? Will the fix be enabled by default before Jaunty release? Seems to be a very simple and easy fix, which works in (almost) all cases, and with (almost) side-effects. But deeping into gconf-editor (or installing ccsm and clicking here and there) is too much for an average user (besides the lack of information about what to click and change).

Ricardo, see my comment above: I took the patch from upstream Git, and left that decision to them: upstream doesn’t currently enable by default.

I have installed your package, and now about a week later, I can confirm I don't see any refresh artifacts. Not the way they were, at any rate. But the whole thing has become unstable, and because of the way I installed compiz-fusion-plugins-main, I cannot tell what exactly has changed. An attempt to install your binary package in intrepid broke a few dozen dependencies, which cascaded into a landslide. Sorting those out seemed too painful, so I jumped the gun and installed jaunty. During the week that followed, I had a few crashes. Several were pretty mild, such as compiz (or something else) becoming corrupt, with all windows except icons turning white, and initially non-responsive. I could make them active again by switching to a VT and back, and then replacing compiz brought everything back to normal. The worse ones lead to a total lock-up of the system; in one instance I got a black screen with the live cursor, but nothing else seemed to work; a few other times the machine froze with partially updated windows and without any trace in the logs. Today I got the first SEGV in the server that I can report: Backtrace: 0: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x813518b] 1: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x55) [0x80c7be5] 2: [0xb8074400] Saw signal 11. Server aborting. Every time the crashes coincided with my activity of some sort, and I have a feeling that with too many things going on and a lot of resources used it is more likely to crash.

I have an Apple MacBook Pro 5,1 with nVidia 9600M GT graphics. I'm running on 64-bit Jaunty beta with the nvidia 180.44-0ubuntu1 driver version. I had problems with the title bars not getting repainted sometimes so you couldn't tell that the focused window was actually focused since it still had the unfocused window color in its title bar. Also, and more seriously, Kmail (and seemingly other KDE or Qt apps) would not update parts of its GUI when things changed until the mouse moved over the region.

I was about to go back to 177 and report failure with 180.11 when I noticed the announcements that 180.44 is offered for testing. Which is what's happening presently. It is certainly too early for making conclusions, but I noticed one thing immediately: it is still buggy, perhaps in the same way 180.11 was. The difference is that those bugs don't kill my system. They just scream. Here's what I saw with 180.11 (after about 4 days of running it): 1. Apparently, It did fix scrolling in firefox. I have not seen the refresh bugs in 4 days. 2. In xterm, it wasn't fixed. If anything, it became more regular. I couldn't scroll in xterm without refreshing it externally. 3. It caused obvious memory violations that killed my machine several times. It could not wake from sleep without halting, and it didn't even let me reboot the machine without turning the power off. On one occasion, I saw my entire screen become corrupt, as if something was writing into screen memory randomly. For a while, I watched the show, but the machine became unresponsive and eventually shut itself down. Today I saw something similar, when it killed my compiz and didn't let me restart it; out of a bunch of applications still running, I could only use firefox, all others' windows were blank and non-responsive. Probably another memory fault. ~~ Now, the good news about 180.44 is that I've been running it for an hour and we're still alive, with no artifacts, in praticular none of the refresh problems that launched this thread. The bad news, it sounds like, is that it still spills its bytes over in the wrong places. I tested how it comes out of S3 and how it starts from cold- and warm-boot; in all three cases the system beeper screams in the manner of a tty receiving tons of garbage, as soon as the nvidia module gets loaded, but eventually it goes quiet, and here I am typing away through an X window, and everything seems normal. Maybe it's the same bug as in 180.11, only this time non-lethal.

I still see the screen refresh problems with compiz under nvidia 180.44, which makes sense, given that this is a protocol problem rather than a driver problem.

Another vote for Anders' fix. I was suffering from the refresh problems in Jaunty's OpenOffice 3 with both nvidia 185.37 and 185.13, but they work fine now. (I assume the fix implements the 'Force synchronization between X and GLX' by default? Using the workarounds package also fixes the OO refresh issues.) -- Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269904 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

@Anders Kaseorg: I installed your package from a fresh reinstall of Jaunty alpha 6, with a totally new /home, without any manual installation (I tried your package before the steps described with git). As many people affirm that your package works, I suspect a localization problem (my system is in French, and in the French version, workaround is translated by the word solutions).

@Anders Kaseorg, Unfortunately, the patch doesn't work at all for me (before and after a fresh reinstall of jaunty alpha 6). The menu doesn't appear in ccsm, so I enabled the option in gconf-editor (/apps/compiz/plugins/workarounds/allscreen/options/force_glx_sync), but I have still the refresh problem in openoffice and in digikam : they are near unusable. -- Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269904 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 finally installed the patch as explained here : http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=1957219postcount=18 (I exactly followed the steps) And it totally resolves the problem !

[Bug 269904] Re: Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid
®om: The directions in that post should give you a workaround plugin that is very similar to the one in my package (despite that post’s author’s misunderstanding of Git; `git revert` means undo a diff, not “revert to” a commit). The menu doesn't appear in ccsm, I suspect you have something weird in your home directory that you copied over across the fresh reinstall. Did you have a ~/.compiz/plugins/libworkarounds.so and ~/.compiz/metadata/workarounds.xml that would have been overriding the global ones? (You certainly do now that you’ve followed those directions; but if you had ever done any manual installation of compiz plugins in the past as well, that would obviously have prevented my package from having any effect.) I recommend removing your ~/.compiz/plugins and ~/.compiz/metadata directories (or even entirely wiping out your compiz settings with rm ~/.compiz -rf; gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz), then reinstalling all compiz packages from apt. Or you could try again after creating a fresh new account and logging into it. -- Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269904 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

@Anders: I made my own intrepid package with your patch and haven't experienced any (or only very minor) issues with the patch enabled (using original /usr/bin/compiz, I.E. _with_ --loose-bindings and _without_ --indirect- rendering). I'm using the 180.37-0ubuntu1 nvidia driver from jaunty, and the situation is even better than with my old solution (using the 173 driver). No mentionable slowness of X or Compiz either.

[Bug 269904] Re: Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid
I was finally able to completely circumvent this problem by enabling *both*
indirect rendering and loose bindings for compiz (by modifying the appropriate
line in /usr/bin/compiz). Compiz runs really fast now (a lot (!) faster than
with indirect-rendering only and even more faster than without both).
I'm running an unsupported combination of software versions however, so could
someone check whether this works with plain Intrepid, too?
I am running:
Ubuntu 8.04 with stock compiz 0.7.4
Nvidia driver 180.29, installed manually
on a Quadro FX 370 (dual monitor setup)
Without loose-bindings I especially had very bad performance when
running OpenGL applications with compiz enabled.
I now have in my /usr/bin/compiz:
build_args()
{
[...]
if check_nvidia; then
if [ x$INDIRECT != xyes ]; then
COMPIZ_OPTIONS=$COMPIZ_OPTIONS --loose-binding
--indirect-rendering
fi
fi
}
