Alberto, that appears to be correct. My CPU does not support PAT and I have this problem. While the workaround patch may not be fit for general release, it is effective for the time being and it's pretty trivial. Any chance of including it until nvidia decides to make their driver behave with 2.6.3x?

The GPU is largely irrelevant (other than being an nVidia card), the bug stems from an erratum, at least affecting the Intel T2500.

[Bug 391461] Re: Compiz Slow on Karmic w/ NVIDIA and 2.6.30 Kernel
I emailed Doug over at Gentoo to confirm where/how it was fixed - nVidia have fixed the issue in the latest 185 driver. We have a PPA with that latest driver (https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa - 185.18.31) but unfortunately that driver is broken as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics- drivers-180/+bug/408561, so I can't verify. -- Compiz Slow on Karmic w/ NVIDIA and 2.6.30 Kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391461 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

They're tracking this bug in Gentoo: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274672 Doug Goldstein commented: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274672#c8 The patch is a copy and paste of the patch posted by Christian from NVIDIA. He however clearly states in his post that its a hack and not the correct/complete solution. I've discussed this issue with NVIDIA in detail and the net result is that we're really going to recommend users of NVIDIA cards + OpenGL to steer clear of 2.6.30 until a full work around the regression is completed and tested. It will be out with the next driver bump. Question being will that driver bump be done in time for Karmic? ** Bug watch added: Gentoo Bugzilla #274672 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274672 -- Compiz Slow on Karmic w/ NVIDIA and 2.6.30 Kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391461 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

Yes, as linked in my original posting with the code it is from NVIDIA. Why should it be fixed in the NVIDIA driver when the problem is the kernel? The regression was from the kernel and PAT isn't functioning correctly in general. -- Compiz Slow on Karmic w/ NVIDIA and 2.6.30 Kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391461 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

I'm not clever enough to know if the change in the kernel constitutes a bug. Just commenting that, according to Doug's discussions, they're planning to fix it in the driver regardless.

[Bug 391461] Re: Compiz Slow on Karmic w/ NVIDIA and 2.6.30 Kernel
The issue is with the Kernel and not the NVIDIA or Compiz version.. I have not yet tried the newest Beta NVIDIA driver (to see if there is a work around in it) or the newest vanilla kernel, or rc from 2.6.31.. But you can log into 2.6.29 and use compiz just fine on the same machine with the same nvidia driver.. so I don't think this belongs with compiz or nvidia.. -- Compiz Slow on Karmic w/ NVIDIA and 2.6.30 Kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391461 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
[Bug 391461] Re: Compiz Slow on Karmic w/ NVIDIA and 2.6.30 Kernel
A kernel regression is less likely I think, you'd see problems all over the shop I'd bet. Same problem on 2.6.31 as well as 2.6.30. Anyway, the guys in #ubuntu+1 suggested the driver as culprit, and they're way smarter than I am :D Do you have the same graphics card as us? (try 'sudo lshw -class display')? Also, posting ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/Xorg.0.log will be useful to the developers :) -- Compiz Slow on Karmic w/ NVIDIA and 2.6.30 Kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391461 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
[Bug 391461] Re: Compiz Slow on Karmic w/ NVIDIA and 2.6.30 Kernel
Darren, The same driver, with the same compiz version with a different kernel (2.6.29.x) works without regressions. I boot with 2.6.30 kernel and I get very poor fps on multiple distributions with multiple versions of the driver (minus the beta since I haven't yet tried it) and multiple version of compiz (w and without the NOMAD patches). To me that points to a regression in the kernel (even if it's the way the driver builds on the kernel), but again no build failures when using the binary from NVIDIA. The laptop in question is a Dell D820 (not around me right now but I think it's an 110M) which is equivalent to a GeForce 7600 or 7400 I can't remember. -- Compiz Slow on Karmic w/ NVIDIA and 2.6.30 Kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391461 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

it is the kernel.. it's the method of PAT forcing back to MTRRs, so this may be per CPU basis and not related to GPU's.
