[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 763005] Re: Compiz's Sync to Vblank makes display stutter/slow with some drivers (like fglrx)
If some animations are smooth and it's only dragging windows that is a problem then bug 773861 is probably a more appropriate place to look. This bug is about ALL animations stuttering, which is a bug in the fglrx implementation of Sync To VBlank. So if you still have issues with Sync To Vblank turned off then you're definitely looking at the wrong bug. ** Summary changed: - Compiz's Sync to Vblank makes display stutter/slow with some drivers (like fglrx) + Compiz's Sync to Vblank makes display stutter/slow with fglrx ** Description changed: ** Description changed: - This bug has been found to affect users of fglrx (ATI/AMD) and Intel - graphics drivers. NVIDIA users should look to bug 92599 instead. + This bug is primarily for users of the fglrx driver, but the proposed + fix does improve performance with other drivers. Most NVIDIA users + should look at bug 92599 instead. TEST CASE: Make sure Sync To VBlank is enabled in the OpenGL section of CompizConfig Settings Manager. In Ubuntu 11.04 it is enabled by default. fglrx: Drag some windows around. Also open and close windows. The animations will not be smooth as they appear to stutter. The framerate is only around 20-30Hz. intel and possibly any driver: Press WinKey+S or WinKey+W rapidly to trigger the expo/workspace animations. These are full-screen animations. But are they silky-smooth? Now turn Sync To VBlank off and repeat the above steps again.

I confirm that the fix from ppa:vanvugt/compiz (it is still not present in the updates repository, and neither in backports) works under Oneiric with fglrx 8.881-0ubuntu4.1 using Ati Radeon HD Mobility 3470.

@quequotion, smspillaz was just being very cautious and backed out the first version of the fix because it changed a couple of header files at a time when ABI compatibility was required. While I argued that the header changes did not affect ABI compatibility, it is now irrelevant. Because we have now replaced it with a similar fix that does not require changing any header files. And it's easier for compiz developers (and maintainers of distros that use compiz) to trust that ABI compatibility is retained if no headers have changed. In summary, not a problem.

Indeed, we're currently only allowing crash fixes into the distro. My sincerest apologies over the confusion with this, it was a good fix, but breaks of the ABI breaks there was some confusion caused. The non-ABI breaking fix will be in the next SRU.

Sorry to hear NVIDIA users are not benefiting. But I'm confident that fglrx and some intel users will get joy from the fix. Because I've tested those :) P.S. NVIDIA users, I think you should be looking at bug 92599. That describes the driver issue that tricks compiz into using the wrong refresh rate.

I'm only fixing the exact problem described in the Bug Description. So the fix will only work for you if the workaround described at the top works for you. Of course, if the workaround works for you then you could always have kept Unity 3D. Just turn off Sync To VBlank in CompizConfig Settings Manager and turn on Tear Free Desktop in ATI Catalyst Control Center. Actually I found the workaround still has slightly better performance than the fix. This is because even with the fix, compiz has to wait for Vblank.
