I forgot to mention that this workaround is not perfect: when using Compiz, the windows rendering content using hardware acceleration leave a trail (old content not redrawn) when you move the window and/or are not rendered are rendered on only one workspace (sometimes not the one you would like) when the window is on a side/corner and has pixels in another workspace. Some apps such as Google Earth behave therefore strangely when the window is placed on a corner, but at least no HW freeze as I was getting doing that on a freshly installed Karmic. -- (Needs KMS) Background and full screen apps don't show up when Normal Visual Effects on (Radeon 7500) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444139 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 444139] Re: (Needs KMS) Background and full screen apps don't show up when Normal Visual Effects on (Radeon 7500)
Could someone change the title? It does not seem to be specific to Radeon 7500, but applies to all R200 chipsets from what I can see here. Still reproducable with the latest xorg-edgers. For those who are looking for a workaround that does not introduce performance hit, result in tearing, or require a change in resolution/bit depth, you can have a look at bug #433173 and bug #420599 which, to me, sound like duplicates to this one. This does not use KMS, but just an old version of the DRI module for Mesa. It is always unfortunate to have to revert to a previous version, but that is the best alternative I have to enjoy Karmic, so here is a step by step, tested on a T40p (Radeon Mobility 9000 [RV250]): 1. Download the latest version you can find of libgl1-mesa-dri on the 7.5 branch. It looks like it is not easy to get a .deb anymore, so I uploaded the one I am using (retrieved from the Debian squeeze repositories a few weeks ago): http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/2114917/libgl1-mesa-dri_7.5.1-1_i386.deb 2. Install it using dpkg: sudo dpkg -i libgl1-mesa-dri_7.5.1-1_i386.deb 3. Restart your X server. If you are using gnome: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart At that point the bug should be fixed and the performance be back to Jaunty level. If it is not, just run sudo apt-get upgrade to revert your changes. If it works and you want to keep this solution, the next problem is that the newer version of libgl1-mesa-dri will appear in the upgrade list each time you want to upgrade your packages and override the package that you installed manually. There is a way to tell apt to stay with a specific version using Pin: 1. Edit /etc/apt/preferences. This file might not exist on your system. sudo gedit /etc/apt/preferences 2. Append the following lines: Package: libgl1-mesa-dri Pin: version 7.5.1-1 Pin-Priority: 1001 >From now on, any specific update on libgl1-mesa-dri will be ignored. When the bug is fixed, KMS gets more stable, or another package require a newer version of libgl1-mesa-dri, just remove the /etc/apt/preferences file (or the lines you added if the file was already present) and run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade to get the latest version from the ubuntu repositories. -- (Needs KMS) Background and full screen apps don't show up when Normal Visual Effects on (Radeon 7500) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444139 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

Just another confirmation, also with a Radeon 9200. Enabling KMS fixes this, but introduces mild font corruption. Interestingly, the corruption isn't present to begin with, and grows worse over time.

It's too late to do this for the final release but if we get an accurate list of card affected we could perhaps do it in an SRU. The real problem is that, as we've seen with previous ATI blacklists, not every card with the same pci id is affected. I don't know if that is the case for this issue but we'd want to try to make sure one way or the other before doing anything. -- (Needs KMS) Background and full screen apps don't show up when Normal Visual Effects on (Radeon 7500) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444139 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 444139] Re: (Needs KMS) Background and full screen apps don't show up when Normal Visual Effects on (Radeon 7500)
I think if it's not going to be fixed on time for 9.10 release (and it looks that way) then probably a series of ATI r200 cards should get blacklisted for 3d effects. Ideally they should be blacklisted only for resolutions about 1024x768 if possible, since it seems that 1024x768 is the maximum working resolution. Note that even at 1024x768 or less there might still be freezes in 3d that did not occur with 9.04, nobody tested this properly at this point. I think a blacklist is needed and also maybe a mention in the release notes. A black desktop gives a very bad first impression of ubuntu and this is a clear regression from 9.04. About my freezes, they occur with KMS at AGP8x (default), 4x and 2x. I stopped at that point and also because of https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454847 decided to give up on 3d support on my graphics card for 9.10 (maybe I'll return to 9.04 I'll see). -- (Needs KMS) Background and full screen apps don't show up when Normal Visual Effects on (Radeon 7500) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444139 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
