Bug#437321: Xpress improvements in upstream ati git

thanks

Samuel Mimram samuel.mim...@ens-lyon.org (17/02/2009):
 Unfortunately I cannot manage to get a more meaningful backtrace,
 even with the -dbg packages installed...

Hi,

still having this bug? Other submitters no longer have access to their
systems, and it's supposed to be fixed upstream.

As for the backtrace showed in Xorg.log that's about it, you'd have to
get a full backtrace from gdb (preferably from another machine,
through ssh) to get something more specific.

Mraw,
KiBi.

  Nope, the problem has vanished. Since I don't know exactly when it
 was fixed, I'm simply closing the bug.

Perfect, thanks for the quick reply!

 The upstream bug[1] has been closed because DRI is supposed to work
 fine. I just uploaded radeon 6.10.99.0 to experimental, and we have
 mesa 7.3 there as well. It would be nice if you test all this.

 Still no luck with latest X packages?

I no longer have the computer that this bug applied to, so I can't test it.

   Hello Zack,
   Now that 6.8.191 is in unstable, how's your Xpress working?
  
  I'm moving; that computer is currently on a truck somewhere.  I'll try

  ping again.
 
 It's been a bit more than a couple weeks but better late than never :)

 It's not quite working yet... Attached you can find the logs of the X
 server crash...
 
 Any chance you could get a backtrace of the crash with GDB?

Unfortunately I cannot manage to get a more meaningful backtrace, even
with the -dbg packages installed...

Cheers,

  All of you reported problems with the ati driver on Xpress chips. Alex
  Deucher called for testing of the latest ati git on
  http://www.botchco.com/agd5f/?p=25

With the very latest unstable kernel (linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
package, version 2.6.24-5):

* the git driver by default (no xorg.conf at all) declines to enable
DRI.  It also uses XAA by default, and says that I have to use EXA if
I want Render acceleration.  However, it works just fine.  I'm using
it right now, and will report any problems that arise.

* I tried forcing DRI on with an xorg.conf which reads in its entirety

Section Device
Identifier  ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
Driver  ati
BusID   PCI:1:5:0
Option  DRI on
#  Option AccelMethod EXA
EndSection

When I restarted gdm after this, it went straight to my desktop
instead of drawing the login screen; it's not supposed to do that.
The desktop was drawn correctly, except for a strip at the very top of
the screen which was garbled.  The mouse pointer appeared and moved
around the screen in response to the touchpad.  However, the rest of
the display was frozen, including things like the gnome-system-monitor
graphs that update without user intervention, and Ctrl-Alt-F1 did not
give me back a text console.  Ctrl-Alt-Backspace *did* kill the X
server, or at least, the mouse pointer stopped moving.  But then the
keyboard was unresponsive; neither blind-typing reboot at the text
console with root logged in nor Alt-SysRQ-B did anything.  I was able
to shut down in an orderly fashion by pressing the power button (i.e.
I didn't have to hold it down to force poweroff).

* I also tried forcing EXA on, by uncommenting the AccelMethod line in
the above and commenting out the DRI line.  This works correctly but
is visibly *much* slower than XAA - repaints are delayed when I scroll
windows, text boxes cannot keep up with my typing, and anything that
changes the screen makes the CPU spike.  (I was under the impression
EXA was a failed, abandoned experiment?)

* I did not try enabling both EXA and DRI.
