[Compiz] [Bug 682327] Re: Compiz crashes when hitting Alt-Tab - Mesa 7.9 implementation error: bad format in _mesa_format_to_type_and_comps
I will mark this task as closed due to the last comment this behaviour is solved with the new driver. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682327 Title: Compiz crashes when hitting Alt-Tab - Mesa 7.9 implementation error: bad format in _mesa_format_to_type_and_comps ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

We've switched to the r600g driver, so presumably this issue is no longer relevant for natty. ** Changed in: mesa (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682327 Title: Compiz crashes when hitting Alt-Tab - Mesa 7.9 implementation error: bad format in _mesa_format_to_type_and_comps ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Compiz] [Bug 682327] Re: Compiz crashes when hitting Alt-Tab - Mesa 7.9 implementation error: bad format in _mesa_format_to_type_and_comps
Actually, the bug is crashing compiz rather than X. It sounds like when doing alt-tab, to draw the dialog compiz is passing in a GL format that mesa doesn't support. _mesa_format_to_type_and_comps in ./src/mesa/main/formats.c is basically just a big huge switch statement for every possible texel format, which is used to generate mipmaps. In this case, it is getting to the end of the switch statement, where it hits the default, which is to issue the format error: _mesa_problem(NULL, bad format in _mesa_format_to_type_and_comps); So, we need to know what format compiz is passing in. ** Also affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Compiz crashes when hitting Alt-Tab - Mesa 7.9 implementation error: bad format in _mesa_format_to_type_and_comps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682327 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

The error message is in mesa, so for now I'm guessing it's not a bug in the DDX driver. ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) = mesa (Ubuntu) -- Compiz crashes when hitting Alt-Tab - Mesa 7.9 implementation error: bad format in _mesa_format_to_type_and_comps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682327 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Try this mesa patch, which will make mesa tell you what gl format number it received.

I'm looking into a similar problem with r600, although for me mesa simply causes compiz to segfault. For the bug I'm looking at, there are two work-arounds: 1) Disable mipmapping in the switcher preferences, or 2) Enable r600g by adding the ForceGallium option to xorg.conf They're just work-arounds, but it'd be nice to know if they work around your bug, too. -- Compiz crashes when hitting Alt-Tab - Mesa 7.9 implementation error: bad format in _mesa_format_to_type_and_comps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682327 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Chris thinks this is a mesa/r600 issue, and that switching to r600g (the gallium driver) will resolve it. Alternately, you could try turning off mipmapping in the switcher options as a workaround. ** Changed in: mesa (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Compiz crashes when hitting Alt-Tab - Mesa 7.9 implementation error: bad format in _mesa_format_to_type_and_comps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682327 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Another option is to add a quirk for that driver in the detection plugin and neuter the function which generates mipmaps, although this is evil and should be a last resort if we cannot fix the driver. -- Compiz crashes when hitting Alt-Tab - Mesa 7.9 implementation error: bad format in _mesa_format_to_type_and_comps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682327 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- Sam Spilsbury -- Compiz crashes when hitting Alt-Tab - Mesa 7.9 implementation error: bad format in _mesa_format_to_type_and_comps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682327 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
