[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 353126] Re: Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org prior to release 7.5
This was not brought up at nvnews because it was not originally a Binary Blob issue. Whatever was changed in xorg to fix this apparently requires a driver fix too. At any rate, I tested my ATI box and the results were as one might predict: Radeon driver + Compiz: Works FGLRX driver + Compix: Does not work I guess at this point I'll unsubscribe from this thread as any hope at getting this fixed has now been lost, since it's going to be categorized into that blackhole of binary driver issues. I hope whatever changes xorg made to fix the original bug are somehow directly made known to all driver vendors. -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org prior to release 7.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Comment #141 confirmed this is a bug with Intel drivers. So this is not limited to binary blobs. And the reason there are so many comments on this bug is because developers have ignored this bug and instead left the community to fend for itself and come up with half baked (if well intentioned) fixes which do not address the underlying regression from 8.10. Please do not mark this bug as fixed until someone confirms it is fixed. Just because an updated version of xorg is in Lucid doesn't mean this bug is fixed. in fact, there are several reports of the contrary. -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org prior to release 7.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

The reports that it's working on Nouveau make it an invalid test case, because the Ubuntu Nouveau drivers do not include Gallium which is required to make Compiz work. Remote Desktop works fine with Compiz disabled. The issue here is only with Remote Desktop + Compiz. But to make you feel better, I will download the latest beta and test it on my work laptop which has Intel video tonight. -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org prior to release 7.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

My testing results: Intel with Compiz Enabled: Works Nvidia Blob with Compiz: Still Broken My wife is using the TV so I cannot test my HTPC with fglrx yet to see the status there. Regardless, nobody has every investigated or stated why this worked for all drivers, open or not, in 8.10. At any rate, it does appear that at least the Intel driver works in 10.04. -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org prior to release 7.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Using Nouveau does _NOT_ fix this bug, Nouveau does not support Compiz. Can a developer PLEASE chime in on this? This worked in 8.10 and has been broken since. We were told it would be fixed with Lucid and, a month away from Lucid's release, it's still not fixed. Could someone please at least say No, this will not be fixed instead of forcing people to chime in with half baked solutions and leave us guessing? -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org prior to release 7.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

This has nothing to do with closed source drivers. This bug only occurs with Compiz enables, which the Nouveau drivers do not support, so they are an invalid test case. As stated before in this bug numerous times, this worked fine in 8.10 with all closed source drivers that supported Compiz. The upgrade to 9.04 broke this. It affects any environment that supports Compiz and any driver that supports Compiz. -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org prior to release 7.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

This bug was not fixed in either Jaunty or Karmic. From the upstream reports it hasn't been fixed upstream either, so it will probably not be fixed in Lucid either. The only true fix/workaround is to reinstall Intrepid which is the last version which had a working VNC + Active Compiz integration. -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
