Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
Hey guys,
I just recently installed Hardy 64 on my dv5000. I didn't have any
problems wiith the drivers installing fglrx thru ENVYNG with ease. I
rebooted, and immediately the card recognized the card and driver thus
enabling affects as shown below:
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon Xpress Series
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7412 Release
Now this is where it get's tricky and I cannot seem to wrap my head
around this. When idling with Desktop manager enabled compiz just EATS
at my ram (512mb) going at about 8 mb a min or so. When I disable this
of course the issue is gone and the ram is returned. Well I did some
research and apparently it is a card issue with handling OpenGL. Well I
decided to test this..So I ran GLXgears for 10 minutes, the FPS was fine
the whole time...Memory didn't move one inch. So my theory of this being
leaky GL is now out the window...I'm not TO sure what to do next, Now I
am not sure what to do, as my Video runs fine, Glxgears runs fine, Full
Screen video playback is fine...Just Compiz is leaking...And It's a
shame that I cant enjoy this feature. Any help or ideas will help.
