Again, for the record: I was able to reproduce this bug w/ Fedora 22 Alpha (4.0 kernel, XOrg 1.17, Gnome 3). It isn't as obvious as it is in Unity, but it's there. Here is a 10-second video of repeatedly maximizing and restoring a window, where you can see the checkerboarding along the top of the screen: https://www.dropbox.com/s/85n2iq27zm00dlo/VID_20150410_033406.mp4?dl=0 Also, I'm not able to reproduce the corruption with fglrx, so I think this means it is most likely an upstream problem with the radeon driver (so I'll file another bug report there). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440602 Title: Graphics corruption after suspend/resume cycle To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/1440602/+subscriptions ___ 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

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1440602] [NEW] Graphics corruption after suspend/resume cycle
Public bug reported: I have observed two forms of graphics corruption after a suspend/resume cycle: 1) Checkerboard artifacts in approximately the top 1/8 to 1/4 of the screen. This can be observed from the following video, where I am highlighting global menu entries with the mouse: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ez2v03oetppecgx/VID_20150324_020612.mp4?dl=0 A similar effect can also be observed while dragging windows around near the top of the screen. 2) The virtual terminals no longer take up the full screen area, and are surrounded by a pattern which appears similar to noise or snow on old TVs. Here's how it appears on my screen: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7hj8qi3w3qc35jb/IMG_20150405_155434.jpg?dl=0 While these two issues seem quite unrelated, they both seem to happen _only_ after a suspend/resume cycle, so the underlying issue might be related between them.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1337749] Re: High CPU usage after resizing a window
Cristopher, After upgrading to xserver-xorg-lts-utopic (Xorg 1.16), the CPU usage for desktop animations is down by about half - presumably due to the new GLAMOR optimizations. I suspect it may be reduced even further with the improvements in Xorg 1.17. With Catalyst, upgrading from Xorg 1.15 to 1.16 made no difference. But considering all the other problems I've had with Catalyst, I suspect that the poor 2D desktop performance is probably due to Catalyst itself, and not Xorg. So I would say that this bug report could be closed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1337749 Title: High CPU usage after resizing a window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1337749/+subscriptions ___ 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

A further comment: I noticed this bug report here which seems to report a similar issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1293384 I also figured out that even moving the mouse around causes high CPU usage. For example, launch Nautilus and move the mouse around inside it for 15-20 seconds or so. My CPU usage jumps to 25% for Xorg, 25% for nautilus, and 15% for compiz. Same thing happens with other programs like Firefox. So I searched around some more and found this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1250277 It seems that there's a chance all of these bug reports might be related.

Abhijit, you're right scrolling in Chrome only uses around 40% or so. I noticed it doesn't have smooth scrolling enabled. After disabling smooth scrolling in Firefox (general.smoothScroll in about:config), CPU usage dropped to about the same level as Chrome. Still extremely high for just scrolling down a page, though. I tested on the office computer today, which is a Core i7-920 w/ 6GB of RAM and an Nvidia GT 9400 with the proprietary driver installed.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1337749] [NEW] High CPU usage after resizing a window
Public bug reported: Background: Symptoms are 50-120% CPU usage when scrolling (especially Firefox), dragging around a window, resizing windows, basically any 2D graphics rendering on the desktop. This happens both in fglrx and the open source radeon driver. I started my debugging process by changing various settings, restarting, running top in a terminal, launching a Nautilus window, and quickly dragging it around with the mouse in circles while watching the CPU usage rise to around 50%. Resizing the window makes it jump to 100%+. Xorg and compiz are the culprits, with the CPU usage being split around 50/50 between them. Reproducing the issue: After a lot of searching I found some tips in the Arch Wiki article for the open source radeon driver, and I put together the following xorg.conf: Section Module Load dri2 Load glamoregl EndSection Section Device Identifier Radeon 6670 Driver radeon Option MigrationHeuristic greedy Option AccelMethod glamor EndSection After applying these settings, launching Nautilus and dragging it around only resulted in about 4% CPU usage each for xorg and compiz. Then, resizing the window (click and hold a side, and just keep moving the mouse left and right) made Xorg jump to 70% and compiz 50%. After that, when I start dragging the window around, CPU usage is back to around what it was originally: About 25% for compiz and 15% for Xorg. This exact behaviour happens after each reboot: The CPU usage is initially low when dragging the window around, but resizing it somehow messes things up and it never goes back to normal after that. I'm using a Radeon 6670 right now. I'll be receiving an R7 260X in about a week or so, so I won't be able to test with the exact same hardware, but I'm expecting at least similar behaviour since I also swapped in an R7 250 and was having the same issues.
