[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1574354] Re: playing .mp4 in VLC freezes machine

2017-12-20 Thread Mahendra Tallur
Hi everyone ! Considering the potentially very wide scope of a bug that
would freeze the X server, could you guys & gals give more details ?

- OS / ARCH
- GPU
- Proprietary or open source driver ?
- X or Wayland ?
- Any PPA ?
- How often the bug occurs ? Is it completely random ?
- Does it occur with specific videos ? Codecs ? 
- Does it only occur when seeking into the video ?
- In the VLC preferences, what video mode chosen ?
- Does it freeze only VLC, the whole session or the whole server ? Can you kill 
it from the console ?
- Do you have similar freezes / crashes in other apps ?

As for me : it occurs in Ubuntu 16.04 (KDE Neon actually). Nvidia GTX
1060 + proprietary driver. Bug is random and occurs when seeking a lot
into the video. It seems only to occur in VDPAU mode (hardware
decoding). I have no other crash at all in any video player or even
complex Steam game. I didn't double check with other VDPAU player.

This is potentially a massive bug (it occurred on secveral of my
machines and freezes the whole session)... Maybe it'll just "disappear"
when switching to VLC 3 or Wayland...

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1574354] Re: playing .mp4 in VLC freezes machine

2017-11-18 Thread Mahendra Tallur
Hi ! I encounter this issue too (complete X freeze sometimes when seeking too 
much in videos in VLC).
I thought that was related to using Nvidia VDPAU. I saw this behaviour on 2 
very different machines. 

Using KDE Neon based on Ubuntu 16.04. Tried latest NVIDIA drivers & VLC
PPA. This PPA is quite outdated, though. But as this is a complete X
freeze (sometimes I cannot even switch to the console) it seems quite
low-level.

Indeed, it's happened for several Ubuntu releases already : only when
Compiz is enabled (and thus, Unity as well as it's a Compiz plugin), and
apparently only with Nvidia cards (proprietary driver).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 600178] Re: Screen tearing when dragging window, in videos and other large screen redraws

2010-10-19 Thread Mahendra Tallur
I'm not sure my comment will be relevant, but I've just noticed some
tearing *at the top of the screen only* (that's barely noticeable -- in
openGL 2D games like SMC for instance), when using nvidia proprietary
drivers + compiz.

Please note I'm doing the following which usually gives a flawless output but 
not now as of Ubuntu 10.10 :
- Option DynamicTwinView false in /etc/Xorg.conf so that the right refresh 
rate is given by the driver (I hope nvidia will fix it one day, so that it's 
not necessary anymore)
- nvidia-settings : I tick sync to VBL everywhere
- CCSM : I tick : autodetect vsync + sync to VBL 

This bug was definitely not there *before* Lucid. Was probably there in
Lucid though. It's very noticeable in SMC or Steelstorm for instance but
not much in regular 3D apps with no 2D scrolling.

Cheers !

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 635724] [NEW] Nvidia : default xorg.conf settings prevent smooth Compiz operation (jerky animation)

2010-09-11 Thread Mahendra Tallur
Public bug reported:

Hi !

Ubuntu automatically generates an xorg.conf file when installing the
proprietary Nvidia drivers. It works very well overall, however, one
cannot get a smooth Compiz experience without addiing two options in
xorg.conf.

* Option TripleBuffer True : without this option, some effects like
the scale effect (like the OSX Exposé) are *very* jerky. Moreover it
might make things generally smoother at a cost of a little more delay in
games which is generally not visible (I personally never noticed it)

* Option DynamicTwinView false : this is sadly more annoying because
it would disable some important features of the Nvidia drivers. However,
I think it should be discussed with Nvidia, because this feature makes
the nvidia driver report a bad vertical frequency value, which renders
animations less smooth.

* Moroever, the Sync to VBlank setting in nvidia settings should
also be enabled by default.

(I also filled in a report about the default Compiz value).

All in all, getting a smooth Compiz ( OpenGL) experience with an nvidia
GPU implies changing 4 values... I think this is a major concern for
mainstream users... Because most of them will stay with the default
values and have jerky / torn animations. (in movies / games / compiz)

Cheers !

I encounter this issue as well (nvidia 256.53, Meerkat beta). BTW, the
IgnoreABI option doesn't seem to be required anymore as of today.

(i.e. : playing HD videos or OpenGL apps are smooth -- scrolling text or
moving a window about a window that is full of text is *extremely* slow,
while it's still as smooth as it used to when moving a window over a
window that doesn't contain text)

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 418470] Re: USB Gamepad detected as mouse (Speedlink 360 style)

2010-05-30 Thread Mahendra Tallur
Well, your gamepad may not be useless in all cases (for instance, for
fullscreen games that capture the mouse pointer and do not react to
double-clicks).

Here happens with my both controllers : Speedlink 360 style and
Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Analog.

Anyway, the problem seems to be that X is not aware of joysticks and
just sees pointing devices. If this cannot work automagically as of yet,
maybe there is a way to force a specific device not to be used as a
pointing device ? (as a custom FDI is not required anymore for my
device, I don't know how to specify it now -- and anyway, an easy GUI
would be preferable ;-)

Doesn't sound like an easy issue to iron out...

I haven't tried in Lucid yet, but it turns out the issue is upstream
anyway (I just tried and got the very same results in an up to date
ArchLinux distro : works but fdi required, unplug/replug required,
inverted axis, both mouse  stick... Worked with evdev instead of
joystick though).

I would be very grateful if you could point out who I should report this
to (X.org, kernel developers... ?)

Thanks again !

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 418470] Re: USB Gamepad detected as mouse (Speedlink 360 style)

2010-02-23 Thread Mahendra Tallur
Hi,

well, sorry for the lack of input !

Actually, if I don't install xserver-xorg-input-joystick, it seems I
cannot get the device detected. Which is probably due to the fact that
the .fdi file I *have to* install specifies :

   match key=input.product string=ACRUX USB GAMEPAD 8116
 remove key=input.x11_driver /
 merge key=input.x11_driver type=stringjoystick/merge

To summarize, there seems to be multiple issues :

- with no FDI file the device is not detected at all

- with a FDI file it needs also the joystick package

- with both of them, the joystick also needs to be unplugged / replugged
each time, and is detected as both a gamepad AND a mouse, and behaves
incorrectly in some cases (some inverted axis)

I guess I should give the latest Lucid alpha a try as well.

Cheers !

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 418470] Re: USB Gamepad detected as mouse (Speedlink 360 style)

2009-12-10 Thread Mahendra Tallur
Well, I'm a bit lost...

I only manage to get it recognized when using the entry 
merge key=input.x11_driver type=stringjoystick/merge
in the relevant .fdi file.
(one OK but not perfect fdi file can be found here : 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joystick_lshal_outputs_done?action=AttachFiledo=viewtarget=acrux-usb-gamepad-8116.fdi
 )

Which requires to install the package xserver-xorg-input-joystick beforehand.
HOWEVER, I thought this joystick driver was deprecated and one was supposed to 
use the evdev driver.

Nothing occurs when using evdev but when you use joystick the gamepad is 
recognized as both a joystick and a mice.
You can manually disable some mouse events ; for instance by adding the 
following line to the fdi file :
merge key=input.x11_options.SendCoreEvents type=stringfalse/merge
Still... Some mouse buttons events still occur (right click for instance). And 
it seems, that the second stick axis are inverted (seen when using gunroar).
I tried to invert axis with line such as merge 
key=input.x11_options.MapAxis1 type=stringmode=relative axis=+1x 
deadzone=5000/merge but they only affect the... mouse behaviour :-)

So to summarize, I lack some insight :-) I wonder why...
1) it doesn't work automagically ?
2) why do I have to install  use the joystick driver instead of evdev ?
3) why is it recognized as both a mouse and stick ?
4) why are some axis inverted ? :-)

I guess most peripherals work out of the box. What can I do to improve
the situation ? :-)

Thanks for reading this annoying blabbering. :-)
