@Kenneth: thanks for the testing, I've some questions though, when you say GNOME, is that a gnome-shell session? GNOME classic runs compiz right (where the no effects one doesn't)? So to summarize: - it doesn't work under unity (and GNOME = gnome-shell?) - it works under GNOME classic with compiz with a slower framerate - it works full speed when no compositor is used that would suggest the issue there is with unity itself rather than compiz? did you try under unity-2d? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988079 Title: Dismal performance on HP Z600 with 30 landscape monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/988079/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 988079] Re: Dismal performance on HP Z600 with 30 landscape monitor
Sebastian: I don't think it's unity. Kenneth is pretty sure it's a failure to implement the GLX swap interval, which is definitely compiz' responsibility. If Unity is using GL more aggressively than Gnome classic, then it stands to reason that the problem would be moderately worse on unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988079 Title: Dismal performance on HP Z600 with 30 landscape monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/988079/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sebastien: yes, GNOME=gnome-shell. The three desktops I listed above are the names of the login menu options. unity-2d is currently broken in our modified Precise distribution so I haven't been able to test with it. The problem is not isolated to Unity. The new gnome-shell desktop with all of the effects turned on doesn't run Chrome properly either. The first thing that should be investigated, in conjunction with NVIDIA, is Compiz' interaction with OpenGL applications and support for the GLX swap interval. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988079 Title: Dismal performance on HP Z600 with 30 landscape monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/988079/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 988079] Re: Dismal performance on HP Z600 with 30 landscape monitor
The problem appears to be caused by the window manager or compositor. On request from NVIDIA, I disabled the window manager on the affected machine and ran a raw X server: sudo service lightdm stop sudo Xorg xlogo and then ran glxgears full-screen: glxgears -geometry 2400x1900+10+10 This worked well. glxgears is only being used as a simple test application. The Chrome web browser's GPU accelerated rendering path is broken in the same situations that glxgears fails to work well. I've upgraded NVIDIA's drivers to 295.53 but they have the same behavior as the 295.40 drivers when running within Unity. It looks to me like the compositor in Precise doesn't respect the GLX swap interval requested by OpenGL applications, and this is causing the Chrome browser to run open-loop, spamming the GPU with commands. On request from NVIDIA, here is the output of nvidia-bug-report.sh on the machine while glxgears was running badly, with the 295.53 drivers. ** Attachment added: NVIDIA bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/988079/+attachment/3149844/+files/nvidia-bug-report.log.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988079 Title: Dismal performance on HP Z600 with 30 landscape monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/988079/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Installed GNOME. GNOME Classic without effects runs Chrome properly. Details: GNOME: fails to run WebGL Aquarium GNOME Classic: runs WebGL Aquarium at 20 FPS full-screen GNOME Classic (No effects): runs WebGL Aquarium at 30 FPS full-screen (this appears to be the maximum this card supports at this resolution) The problem is almost certainly compiz. It was known in past Ubuntu releases that compiz didn't respect the GLX swap interval, but it looks like the issue has been exacerbated with recent releases of GNOME / Unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988079 Title: Dismal performance on HP Z600 with 30 landscape monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/988079/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 988079] Re: Dismal performance on HP Z600 with 30 landscape monitor
Hi Thomas, The .40 nvidia driver was a security fix to close a direct memory access flaw. Unfortunately by disabling that interface it caused a few regressions for certain hardware and/or certain applications, such as (I strongly suspect) this problem you're seeing. An updated driver was released by NVIDIA about a week ago; we're still in process of getting it available in all past ubuntu versions but I think it is now available in Precise's via jockey driver updates. Since it reportedly addresses a lot of the regressions that turned up I would suggest putting that on your test machine to see if that will resolve some or all of the issues you've seen. If so, then no need for any further information beyond that. Let me know if you need any special assistance getting that update made available for your systems. If there are still issues with that updated driver, then we will need further information so we can escalate the issue with NVIDIA. In general they want to have the nvidia-bugreport.sh script executed to generate the bug data they need. As of precise, the xorg apport hook now collects this information in new bug reports, so filing bug reports with us using 'apport xorg' is our recommended way of filing bugs. Note that you can run this command even on systems where the automatic apport reports have been disabled. In fact, because we have quite a few basic diagnostics built into the apport hook, we tend to not look at bug reports which were not filed using that tool (i.e. our queues and reports only include bugs filed using apport). So, if policy prohibits running apport in general, I'd still like to arrange a robust way for you to escalate bugs to us as priorities so please contact me directly (br...@canonical.com) and we can sort out a good solution. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988079 Title: Dismal performance on HP Z600 with 30 landscape monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/988079/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Needs tested with the 295.49. Available in x-updates PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates (Btw, it is recommended not to reference glxgears when reporting performance issues. Instead we recommend running a 3d game with fps enabled and report the fps numbers from that, as it is a more realistic measure of performance. glxgear numbers can go up or down significantly without any correlation with actual graphics performance.) ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Bryce Harrington (bryce) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988079 Title: Dismal performance on HP Z600 with 30 landscape monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/988079/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think /var/log/Xorg.o.log and the output of lspci -vvnn would be a good start.
