[Bug 405270] Re: Karmic slow boot

2009-08-11 Thread ianst
I've discovered today:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/384579

and somebody there proposed this:

echo "blacklist floppy" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-floppy.conf
&& sudo rmmod floppy && sudo update-initramfs -u

I had to run that twice, first run resulted in an error message "floppy
in use", after the second run and the restart the booting was fast as
pre-karmic. So it's certain now that a floppy handling made a delay. I
think that this bug can be considered a duplicate of 384579.

[Bug 405270] Re: Karmic slow boot

2009-08-05 Thread ianst
I observe similar symptoms on my Sony Vaio notebook. I installed every
version of Ubuntu since 6.x. Now I upgraded to Karmic using update-
manager and booting got at least two minutes longer, or maybe more.

As far as I understand, the reason in my case is the following:

- the notebook has one bay in which either DVD drive device or a floppy
drive device can be inserted.

- I keep DVD drive in the bay

- during booting, the BIOS reports the existence of the floppy

- something in Ubuntu recognizes that floppy as a device exists and
wants to access it

- that same thing doesn't want to let booting continue before the floppy
answers!

- floppy never answers.

The Freecell game shows even more interesting effects:

- The arrow cursor leaves the "line pattern" on one place
- When the cursor is the "hand" the "line pattern" always follows cursor.

And here  you can see that system monitor takes 8 percent of cpu to

Of course the look of the whole window is fully wrong like the other

One more observation: I've tried to run GlTron game, and in the window
of GlTron the "second mouse cursor" which is "some pattern" follows the
main cursor. Once it comes out of that window, it get stuck to some
point and doesn't move for a while.

now, from all the observations, I'm quite sure that it's drawn by the
same mechanism that draws the main "hardware cursor", and that what I
see must be a second "hardware cursor"  which "show flag" is
unintentionally activated by some initialization and reinitialization
procedure.

the 1st photo of the screen detail -- in the snapshot is the problem not
visible. I'll attacht one more photo so that you can see that it doesn't
follow the main cursor all the time and that it's not affected by

Re: [Bug 194521] Re: [mach64] ATI Mobility M1 -- the mouse cursor garbles some underlying pixels

2008-04-28 Thread ianst
On my machine it appears as the pointer is not changed, the pixels on the
screen close to the pointer get "wrong" (the pattern itself has similarities
to the picture, but the main pointer is ok) and then these pixels stay there
until something happens, they appear somewhere else. They appear always
present, no matter what is done on the screen. But they don't follow the
pointer in all movements, they stay somewhere for a while and then appear
somewhere else.

I guess that if the hardware has two independent
"sprites" (sorry for C64 terminology if now it has some other name, I'm that
old)  for hardware drawn cursors then what I observe must be the second one
which gets initialized to something and then turned on on some events and
then reinitialized on some other events? Is there any docs or info that
there can be two (or more) hardware sprites? The obvious fix would be to
avoid touching the second, especially avoid setting the "show" flag for it.

(I have a lot of programming experience, although not on Linux and with
drivers, but I'm really willing to help as much as I can).

2008-03-07 Thread ianst
There is some logic in behaviour -- I've already mentioned that pixels
appear at first at the initial display of screen and the mouse. Then,
going to "Screen and Graphics Preferences / Graphics card" and
performing Test will make the pixels dissapear. Probably the sequence of
initializing the screen and the mouse is not the same as on initial
activation? Then they will appear only at some later event that seems to
duplicate some events in the same way as the start of the graphics mode.

Public bug reported:

Using
 xserver-xorg-video-ati - 1:6.7.197+git20080217.d055b9e8-0ubuntu0tormod~gutsy

on Sony with ATI Mobility M1

I observe a line of garbled pixels under the mouse cursor, for example
on the initial login screen, and then they stay there no matter what is
redrawn, like that they are "burned in". Moving mouse cursor keep these
pixels on the initial location, and doesn't produce new, until something
happens, when the "burned in" pixels appear somewhere else, but again
under the current place of the cursor.

The effect never happens in Vesa mode. Here's conf, I don't know what
else I should try:

Section "Device"
Identifier  "Generic Video Card"
Boardname   "ATI Rage Mobility"
Busid   "PCI:1:0:0"
