[Bug 351291] Re: [Radeon X1200/X1250/X1270/X1300 Mobility] screen flickers when CPU is at low frequency

2009-05-10 Thread bwashed
I just tried the development drivers from today. No flickering on my
6715b (Same model as the bug-issuer). Also, when compiz is on, the
average Xorg cpu usage is now 1-5%, compared to a constant >15% on Ibex.

Nice work!

The 32-bit package is:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/tormodvolden/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-
video-ati/xserver-xorg-video-
radeon_6.12.2.99+git20090504.da58e351-0ubuntu0tormod_i386.deb

Try this if you have the flickering problem with a laptop running in
32-bit mode.

This removed most of the flicker for me! ...

I don' get any flickering with that version, too. For anyone else who
wants to test this (development!) version, the package is here:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/tormodvolden/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-

[Bug 351291] Re: [Radeon X1200/X1250/X1270/X1300 Mobility] screen flickers when CPU is at low frequency

2009-05-05 Thread nathan
I tried fiddling with the cpu freq settings on my machine and it seems
like there is less flickering at higher frequencies.  However, I could
only set the frequency of my cpu down to 1.0GHz and as high as 2.0GHz.
While there was less flickering at 2.0GHz there was still some and it's
hard to quantify how much less than at 1.0GHz.  I haven't tried any of
the more bleeding-edge drivers yet.

I can also confirm this running Jaunty AMD64 with a Radeon XPress 1250.

I decided to play around with some of the drivers from X on the Edge,
and in running the latest available:

xserver-xorg-video-ati
xserver-xorg-video-radeon
1:6.12.2.99+git20090504.da58e351-0ubuntu0tormod

I have yet to see any screen flickering with or without visual effects
running the processor on the "powersave" daemon, even when trying things
such as rapidly moving a window around the screen, and maximizing a
terminal and running the command

cat /dev/urandom

Nathan, does the flickering depends on CPU frequency?
