[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 655150] [NEW] Problems with a dual-monitor setup after upgrading to Maverick

2010-10-05 Thread dnyaga
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I have been using a dual monitor setup with Ubuntu since 7.10 (with a
very pleasant experience in 10.04, after kms became the default).

I upgraded from Lucid to Maverick three days ago (October 2). On my
first reboot after the upgrade, I was thrown into the console (gdm start
failure). The Xorg log report at that time is attached below. My
xorg.conf (carried over unchanged from Lucid) was then:

Section "Screen"
Identifier  "Configured Screen Device"
Device  "Configured Video Device"
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 2646 2646
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

After staying without a functional laptop for three days, I decided
today to remove the xorg.conf. Lo and behold, gdm started. With one
little problem - its now impossible to make it work in extended screen
mode. It works fine on one monitor. When I try (using gnome-display-
properties), the display is reduced to occupy part of one screen.
Attempts to do the same with grandr fail with:

===
The program 'grandr' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 19 error_code 8 request_code 150 minor_code 7)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
===

I will try and attach screenshots that illustrate the problem above.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 440448] Re: High Xorg CPU usage (95-99%): Karmic x86-64, fglrx, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600

2009-10-09 Thread dnyaga
Same issue keeps on popping up. 100% CPU usage immediately upon login
(default desktop, no apps started). Logging out then back in "solves"
the issue.

2009-10-02 Thread dnyaga
Completely purged all fglrx and reinstalled/reconfigured  core xorg components 
and the radeon driver as per the Ubuntu Wiki instructions:
  sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh  # (if it exists)
  sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*
  sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon 
  sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
  sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri 
xserver-xorg-core
  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

General 2D performance is OK. In particular, regular GTK (GNOME) and Qt
(KDE) apps are responsive. CPU usage is normal (was always normal with
-radeon, performance was the problem)

The most severely affected programs for me were the pure java ones
(Netbeans being a particular pain point: Java 2D?) I am using the Sun
Java 1.6 JVM, installed from the Ubuntu repos. I will code in Netbeans
for a while to get a feel for the speed/responsiveness of the system
with these drivers.

In all likelihood, this is not a valid xorg bug. But I will leave it for
someone with more xorg knowledge and experience to close.

Minimalist xorg.conf that "worked" with the open source drivers in terms

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 440448] [NEW] High Xorg CPU usage (95-99%): Karmic x86-64, fglrx, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600

2009-10-02 Thread dnyaga
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I have Gateway M62 laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo T5750; ATI Mobility Radeon
HD 2600 [RV630/M76], 4GB RAM). I upgraded from Jaunty about a week ago.
My system is constantly updated, in sync with changes in the Karmic
repository.

Xorg performance has been terrible. With fglrx (installed from the
Ubuntu repos), Xorg sometimes pins down one core completely, for
prolonged periods (95-100% CPU usage). The problem may or may not go
away on reboot (unpredictable, indeterminate). When it is "behaving",
the system is snappy and usable. I purged my fglrx (and all config files
and all related packages) and reinstalled afresh from the Karmic repos.
No change.

I do not run compositing on my desktop. I have a dual screen
configuration (with an external 19 inch Acer monitor, see attached
Xorg.conf files).

Now, fglrx is actually the good one this time round (surprisingly). When
I _purged_ fglrx, I decided to run on the open source drivers for a
while.  Performance with the open source drivers is not merely bad - its
goddamn awful. An example - It is impossible to run Netbeans or Eclipse
and get any work done. Screen painting is so slow that there is a lag of
up to 5 seconds between a click and a response. Dragging a small window
(like Gnome terminal) is an ulcer inducing experience. This system is
not performance, memory or load challenged.

Booting without an xorg.conf with the aim of running a non mirrored dual
screen setup is presently not an option.

Other problems (not directly related to xorg) include the inability of
gnome-display-properties and grandr to correctly set up the screen
resolutions of both screens. These should (and probably, will) be
reported as separate bugs, but  I have mentioned them here for context.

I have attached:
(1) A screenshot of gnome-terminal (top) showing the load
(2) My present xorg.conf, generated by amdcccle
(3) The xorg.conf used with the -radeon driver)
(4) An Xorg.conf that previously worked well with fglrx (I keep /etc under 
version control), under Jaunty
(5) An Xorg.conf that previously worked well with the open source driver, under 
Jaunty
