Re: TV Card + X11 = problem!?

Hello World and please excuse my terrible English.

As  you can see here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=812960
Users with a tv card (usb or PCI, with or without an IR receiver) have
problems with X11. Some times the Shift key 'hangs' randomly and
after a while it gets 'released'.
Personally I've experienced this problem with Linux Ubuntu Desktop,
Linux Ubuntu Server, Arch Linux, with different keyboards but only in
X11 environment (not in any console).

The Xorg log file doesn't contain any errors, neither the kernel ring
buffer (dmesg).

Does any one know anything about this problem?


That is weird.  I had this problem for a while, and I also have a TV 
card (analog).  It never occurred to me that it might have something to 
do with the card.  My TV card uses an SAA7130 chip.


But I don't seem to suffer from this problem anymore.  I'd say for a 
month or so now.  Might have something to do with switching from kernel 
2.6.34 to 2.6.35.

With X.Org server 1.8 and HAL disabled, how to I configure the above?

In case you're referring to the exact settings, this is not possible.
The filter chain approach was replaced in 1.8, but of course it doesn't
hurt to keep the option values around. The coarser settings are
unchanged however.

Should your device really need such detailed tweaks, I'd like to hear
about it. The new algorithm sohuld work reliably against a greater range
of devices. It can be tweaked as well, the wiki page was updated
accordingly.


I've misplaced the link to the wiki entry, and I can't find the URL 
again :-/


I went to the wiki at http://www.x.org/wiki, and no matter what I search 
for (mouse tweaks, mouse, mouse settings, etc) it doesn't find anything.


In the sense of teaching me to fish instead of just giving me one, how 
would one find the wiki entry for mouse tweaking in the first place? 
Last time I visited it (and bookmarked it) was because you gave me the

Doesn't make much sense, yesno? :-)


Now that I read it again, it was a bit confusing.  I was thinking that 
the way the compositor unredirects fullscreen apps has a bug.  However, 
I completely disabled compositing and restarted and the bug was there, 
so I guess it's not the compositor's fault.




(It's rather likely that the indirect rendering works and the bug occurs on
direct fb access through xv - tried other -vo sinks, eg. gl or x11?)


Gl and x11 output work correctly.  It's only Xv + direct rendering that 
triggers it.




You could try by shutting down kwin (kquitapp kwin) and launching s (or
rather maybe just) mplayer - then mplayer -fs some_movie.avi

To restart kwin call kwin

NOTICE: since w/o a WM you won't be able to pass the focus around, you might
want to call all cmds in a row
kquitapp kwin; mplayer - then mplayer -fs some_movie.avi; kwin

do not attempt to fork mplayer to bg (won't show up then)

If this (unexpectedly) works fine, you can try to suspend compositing
(SHIFT+Alt+F12) before playing


In both cases the bug shows.  Really the only case where it doesn't is 
with compositing active (which means KWin must be running and desktop 
effects must be enabled.)

I've made another observation (accidentally).  The problem does never 
occur when compositing is active.  KDE unredirects fullscreen 
applications by default (meaning that compositing gets disabled). 
However, if I disable that (for example by right clicking somewhere so 
that SMPlayer's or VLC's context menu appears, which also disables the 
unredirecting and re-activates compositing), then the colors are 
perfectly fine again.


Does that mean that it could be a bug in KDE's compositor?

The X11 driver will usually reduce the clocks of your GPU (and possibly 
the voltages; depends on the driver you're using) when it's idle.  When 
you switch to a TTY, the clocks/voltages are increased again since the 
framebuffer driver doesn't do power management.

 Typically high memory usage of X is caused by other programs asking X to store
 things for them. You can use the xrestop program to see how much is being used
 for each program.

 This problem may be because some other program is never telling X that it's 
 done
 with resources. xrestop should be able to tell you which program it is.

 Of course theoretically it's possible there's a leak in one of the X 
 components
 (especially the binary graphics driver), but this is far more common.

This seemed to be the result of using a KDE 4.3 built against Qt 4.6 
(this is not officially supported by KDE).  I've since downgraded to Qt 
4.5 and rebuilt KDE.  This seems to have fixed the issue (mostly).

X still uses more and more memory as uptime goes up, but not as dramatic 
as reaching 800MB after 5 hours.  At boot-up, X starts with about 60MB 
of memory usage.  Right now, after about 3 hours, it's at 170MB and 
slightly increasing with time.  xrestop doesn't show anything 
interesting: adding up all the Total values reported only amounts to 
about 20MB or memory.  Where the missing 90MB are spent, I've no idea. 
But in any case, we're now talking about 90MB unaccounted for instead of 
700MB previously.

 For some modules (like the X server) it's rather straight forward to

Actually you don't need to do anything else than just add -m32 to 
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS.  GCC will automatically pick 32-bit libs and 
produce 32-bit binaries.  You don't need -L or --build.

 Exactly. How does any normal person find an opportunity to see any
 difference? Most of the internet is extreme lowfi designed for 1024x768 or

It's only visible to me in extreme cases, like a red box on white

called ghosting) or the default X background (this one always made my 
eyes cry with my old CRT).  Nothing serious though.

But since my monitor *is* digital (TFT) and my graphics card is also 
digital, it makes more sense to use DVI-D.  With VGA, the graphics card 
converts its digital signal to an analog VGA signal and sends it over 
the cable.  The monitor picks it up, and since it's a TFT monitor (they 
need a digital signal to display) it converts the analog signal back to 
a digital one.

With DVI-D, the signal is just sent though the cable with no conversions 
and cable quality doesn't matter the least since it's digital.  It makes 
more sense to me to use it that way rather than doing a totally useless 
and unneeded conversion from digital to analog and then back again.

If you don't have a TFT monitor but a CRT instead, then this in not an 
issue at all.  CRTs are analog (there's a few modern digital CRTs too, 
but you would know if you had one).  It's only an issue with TFTs.

 it's not the driver that is slower, but it's the newer Ubuntu version
 that slows it down.

 They should learn to benchmark :P  And they should learn to also name
 the benchmarks appropriately (that it compares performance of two Ubuntu
 versions rather than Intel driver versions.)

 Is it the Xorg team's perspective that, we'll only look into huge
 performance regressions if you first do all the work to prove that the
 huge slowdown cannot be anything but the Xorg stack?
 
 I'm not trying to be confrontational, but I think burying your head in
 the sand until you are given 100% proof that it's the Intel driver may
 not be the best approach here.

Well, it's certainly possible that the driver became that much slower. 
But doing the benchmark right would be so easy, yet Phoronix didn't do 
it.  All I need to do here, is simply remove the old driver and install 
the new one and re-run the benchmark.  Everything else stays the same. 
Dead easy.  Yet Phoronix didn't do it.  Hopefully someone here with an

 Can you recommend a media player that is able to use OpenGL? I've tried
 mplayer but even on a relatively fast cpu it can't playback the video fast
 enough (720p content). Unless I'm missing some magic switch that's buried
 deep within the man page :)

I'm afraid there's no magic switch :P  You can give VLC a shot but it 
never worked for me.  Unfortunately, HD video and Linux still don't play 
along well.

Re: conflicting memory types in system logs

 Hello,
 
 On X.Org X Server 1.5.3 with the Intel 2.5.1 driver on a Lenovo X200 laptop, 
 I 
 get quite a few error messages output in /var/log/messages where the kernel 
 complains about conflicting memory types. Is this just warnings, or something 
 to be taken seriously? If the latter, is it due to a config error on my part, 
 or a version mismatch or bug somewhere? 
 
 System information included at bottom.
 
 Thanks in advance for any insight.
