[Bug 212799] Re: [hardy] Compositing + Xv causes SIGSEGV in memcpy() [i945]
I don't know if it helps but I have created an debdiff against the latest (proposed) version of the xserver-xorg-video- intel_2.2.1-1ubuntu13.5 package. This is my first debdiff. I hope I have done everything right. I had no problems so far with my patched package. But I can only test one system. My System: Dell Laptop (Inspiron6400L) hardy 8.04.1 32-bit kernel 2.6.24-19-generic *-pci description: Host bridge product: Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 100 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:00:00.0 version: 03 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz configuration: driver=agpgart-intel module=intel_agp I don't want to be the one who breaks the system of others because of this patch ;-) It would be nice if you could verify my debdiff and tell my if I did something wrong.

Thanks for nailing the patch down.

[Bug 212799] Re: [hardy] Compositing + Xv causes SIGSEGV in memcpy() [i945]
I have applied an "patch" from upstream and as far as I can tell I have no problems. The patch is the commit that Hele mentioned earlier. (See some comments above) I applied the patch to this package version xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.2.1-1ubuntu12) hardy What I have tested: - played several videos - glxgears - scrolling in Firefox was fast (only to be sure nothing else broke) - compiz (apps were running at the same time) I hope this helps to release a fixed package version.

[Bug 212799] Re: [hardy] Compositing + Xv causes SIGSEGV in memcpy() [i945]
I asked Steve Langasek if he would accept a newer version of the driver as an SRU for Hardy, and he said no absolutely not. So that is not an option. So to bring the solution to Hardy, it is necessary for someone to do a bisection search (such as via git bisect) to find the specific patch, which we can then put an SRU in to fix for everyone. I do not plan on doing this, as I'm more focused on Intrepid now, but would encourage anyone wishing the fix to do it. Another approach would be to put in a request for a backport of the 2.3.2 driver. The steps for doing this are: a. Get the current source from Intrepid b. Build it on $dist c. If it builds fine, file a bug via https://launchpad.net/products/$dist-backports/+filebug "Please backport $driver from Intrepid Current version: New version: I built it successfully on $disk with no source changes needed. Benefits include better support for newer and older gfx hw.

[Bug 212799] Re: [hardy] Compositing + Xv causes SIGSEGV in memcpy() [i945]
How can we bring the solution for ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS (hardy) forward? I mean it isn't very easy to find the actual problem, at least for me. Wouldn't it be easier to publish the new Intel 2.3.2 driver? Maybe someone can build a package without EXA acceleration as it is still slow nowadays, so that we can test it.

[Bug 212799] Re: [hardy] Compositing + Xv causes SIGSEGV in memcpy() [i945]
We've got the 2.3.2 driver uploaded to Intrepid, with a fixed version of the TexturedVideo patch, so I think this bug should be resolved now in Intrepid.

Hi, Indeed, this aforementioned patch corrects the problem of lagging large videos on 2.3.x debian serie. This is especially visible in my system when enabling metacity compositing manager. Note that both 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 Debian packages didn't fix the lagging video problem (although they fix the X crash initial problem), only applying Mikael .debdiff does fix it. -- [hardy] Compositing + Xv causes SIGSEGV in memcpy() [i945] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212799 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
