Bug#586081: xserver-xorg-video-nv: After xserver-xorg updates X resorts to VESA, with only low resolutions available

2010-07-12 Thread Darren Williams
Just came across this bug, the problem I encounted was:

linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686 installed
linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 installed

for some reason the trunk kernel was in position 0 in menu.conf,
removing linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686 fixed the problem. If you update
your default to boot linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 in menu.conf should also
fix the problem.

 Hi Gunter,

 thanks for going through this pain of kernel testing :)

with 2.6.29 If  use EXA ,I also get these three error lines
but if use UXA, only the front buffer error occurs

 AIUI there are tiling fixes queued for upcoming kernels. Hopefully
 2.6.30 will behave better...

Yes,I followed this ,and built a custom 2.6.30-rc3 kernel from git
the errors disappear.but still UXA is much faster than EXA

here's my simple benchmark result:

   x11perf -aa10text   glxgears
EXA: 459000.0/sec   45FPS
UXA :654000.0/sec430FPS

 The glxgears column is meaningless.

May I quote Gunter Ohrne: glxgear which is no meaningful benchmark, I
know, but it's a tendency
indicator nontheless

I benchmarked the 2D performance using  gtkperf and render_bench[1] again
(KMS is disabled in all four cases,since I can't get the X running,it
just hangs
and doesn't respond to any keyboard input,I can not use ssh  to connect to
it from another host)
which gives me the following result:

--
 gtkperf render_bench
Kernel-2.6.29/exa 14.03   36.52
kernel-2.6.29/uxa 14.9 36.04
kernel-2.6.30-rc3/exa16.136.18
kernel-2.6.30-rc3/uxa13.32  35.39
---

gtkperf runs for five times and the result is total average render time.
render_bench just runs once in each case,I simply add the total time .

No wonder kernel-2.6.30-rc3/uxa is the fastest combination both with gtkperf
and render_bench.

gtkperf shows that performace in kernel-2.6.30-rc3/exa is even worse
than  in Kernel-2.6.29/exa

Maybe the benchmark I did has flaws and meaningless,but the performace really
improve with  kernel-2.6.30/uxa from my  feeling with  running some
applications.

with  kernel-2.6.29 suspend and wake will crash the X,while with
kernel-2.6.30rc3
it works again.So I am anxious for the release of kernel-2.6.30

Bug#511494: GL error messages while playing oolite

2009-01-11 Thread Darren Salt
Package: libgl1-mesa-dri
Version: 7.3~rc1-1

Using oolite (svn r1928 from svn://svn.berlios.de/oolite-linux/trunk, with
r1890 backed out locally). Graphics hardware is a Radeon X300; kernel is
2.6.27.10 (amd64).

I'm seeing lots of implementation error messages while flying, and the
frame rate is (presumably consequently) reduced to about 1/3 of what it was
with 7.2 (which works fine here).

Except for a sequence number, they're all identical:

 Why is gxine calling the DPMS hooks for the monitors?

It's designed to allow blanking when nothing is being played or the stream is
paused; on starting or resuming playback, it is intended that gxine will
unblank the display automatically. (There's no guarantee that the method used
to resume or start playback will also cause X to automatically unblank the
display; equally, there's no guarantee that the screen blanker will have cut
in, and gxine has no knowledge of whether it has.)

Also, I don't want it to ever be able to fail to restore the DPMS settings –
by not altering them, there's nothing to restore. This does require ensuring
that the blank timer never reaches 0 (unless it's set ludicrously low).

 Do other video players have the same problem?

Any which use the same methods will, since xset dpms force on is sufficient
to trigger the problem.

 But why does it do it repeatedly?

See above.

 that's what causes the blinking.  it should do it once, or am I missing
 something?

If crtc1 is already on, why touch crtc0 at all? (Also, if crtc0 is in some
state other than 'on', why switch it off?)

(Tweaking gxine to take more notice of DPMSInfo()'s output should fix one
side of this bug...)

 Do other video players have the same problem?
 Any which use the same methods will, since xset dpms force on is

 when you run xset dpms force on does the blinking continue after you run
 it or does it happen once?

Once.

RADEON: always restore crtc1 before crtc0 when using both crtcs

In some rare cases restoring crtc0 first will result in a blank screen
on crtc1.  If you are having issues with a blank screen on crtc1
that used to work on 6.6.3 or before, this should help.

6.8.0 with this reverted is fine.

Bug#443292: Workaround for the bug

2007-10-23 Thread Darren Salt
I demand that Kanru Chen may or may not have written...

 Git commit a0ea7363f51ff6c2bb81006b7220b7daa9ee9221 actually remove a
 lot of configuration stuffs. Option Device is the only method to
 identify a mouse now. The problem is that the manpage is not up to date.

I think that this needs either a default setting for that option, or failure
(driver isn't initialised for the device, no attempt to open anything) if the
option isn't present.

The reason is that I'm reasonably certain that this is what's behind some
hangs which I've been seeing when exiting X (current unstable) with
xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.7.x. Curiously, these stopped when I
changed the configuration to use option Device for the mouse...

FWIW, I've just installed xlibmesa3-gl{,u} 4.2.1-9 (from xlibmesa3 4.2.1-4,

Maybe this bug should be left open until 4.2.1-9 makes it into sarge...?

Bug#205916: general: opengl isn't running properly. can run glxgears and window shows but nothing in it.

2003-08-17 Thread Darren Salt
I demand that netbrain may or may not have written...

[snip]
 I cant run anything that requires opengl, the programs will open but
 bothing will show. i consulted #debian at irc.debian.org and a bloke called
 penguin24 said it was a bug when compiling with a newer gcc. im a newbie so
 i don't know so much about it.

Download this:
URL:http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2002/12/01/debian/pool/main/x/xfree86/xlibmesa3_4.2.1-4_i386.deb

You'll need a couple of dummy packages (xlibmesa3-gl, xlibmesa3-glu). For
that, apt-get install equivs then run equivs-build once for each of the
attached files.

Install (as root, assuming the same directory): dpkg -i xlibmesa3*deb

Boldly going forward because we can't find 'reverse'!

 This is an xlibmesa3-gl bug, if anything, and it's been reported several
 times already, see #178242 and friends. You'll also see that this seems to
 be fixed in sid.

FWIW, I've just installed xlibmesa3-gl{,u} 4.2.1-9 (from xlibmesa3 4.2.1-4,
which works); it seems to be working well. Quite possibly better.

Building X myself

2000-09-28 Thread Darren/Torin/Who Ever...
Well, I'm impatient for X to get working on desktop again.  I
unfortunately upgraded to phase2v11 but I refuse to upgrade libc6 yet.

So, I went to compile X myself.  Now it is asking for glide.h, so I
added glide2-dev.  But it's also looking for g3ext.h.  This ins't in the
Contents-i386 file.  Where might I find such a beast?

Thanks,
  Darren
