Yes, but I think I agree with Nicolas in saying that would shouldn't lessen the status of this bug, since many people can't live with the free driver due to power management concerns.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 351186] Re: [M76] [ubuntu 9.04] [ubuntu 9.10] slow unminimizing with ati card and desktop effects enabled
As I said, this is NOT fixed. The use of fglrx is still necessary for R800+ ATI card and for nearly all laptops powered by ATI because of no power management with the free driver. This bug was filed against fglrx-installer so, please, stop saying that this is fixed. For those who know some ATI guys, are they going to work on this issue? This bug is nearly 1 year old so I'm confident that the answer is no. As this is an important desktop usability issue, is there a possibility to include a xserver from one of the 2 ppa in, at least, the universe repository? Just name it xserver-fglrx-fix and add it as a dependence to the fglrx-installer. It seems a good solution to me because here we do not patch the default xserver (the one that is shipped by default) so no need to worry about regressions for other users, only fglrx users will install it. Those packages had enough testing and both seem to be equivalent. For the memory lick, I never noticed it (using k0ekk0ek's ppa for more than 6 months) so this is a small lick that may not be noticed by most of users I think. And I'm sure that the benefit of a fluid user experience is worth the trouble. -- [M76] [ubuntu 9.04] [ubuntu 9.10] slow unminimizing with ati card and desktop effects enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer 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
Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 351186] Re: [M76] [ubuntu 9.04] [ubuntu 9.10] slow unminimizing with ati card and desktop effects enabled
@Nicolas Delvau No, Not fixed yet. However, does the fact that the free driver works in Lucid provide hope that the fglrx driver (the next version available for lucid) will also be improved ? To be honest, with people passing patches to the x-server around, it doesn't give me confidence that it is 100% clear where the problem exists. In the graphics driver, or in the x-server ? Or both ? Or can someone enlighten me? Did the free driver provided with Karmic provide good fast 3D without problems (except for the missing power management) ? If not, then already I would assume there is hope to think there might have been a general fix, since it works perfectly with lucid? Like all of us ATI users without development know-how (in terms of low-level drivers and the x-server), all I can do is wait in hope. And thank those involved for their hard work.

However, does the fact that the free driver works in Lucid provide hope that the fglrx driver (the next version available for lucid) will also be improved ? No, these drivers are independent. To be honest, with people passing patches to the x-server around, it doesn't give me confidence that it is 100% clear where the problem exists. In the graphics driver, or in the x-server ? Or both ? Or can someone enlighten me? I though someone already asked fglrx dev (can't find it anymore, too much comments here) and they answered that this is a xserver bug. But this bug only happen with fglrx so perhaps they just do not want to deal with it. Did the free driver provided with Karmic provide good fast 3D without problems (except for the missing power management) ? For older cards, yes (since Intrepid on my old laptop). But ATI dropped fglrx support for most of these anyway so no choice here. If not, then already I would assume there is hope to think there might have been a general fix, since it works perfectly with lucid? Backporting the Lucid free radeon driver necessitate backporting an important part of the kernel and so on.

My report, having tested the lucid alpha 3 liveCD Reports are good! I am running a sony vaio, with ATI Radeon Mobility HD3470 graphics. I have also suffered with the minimize/maximize problem with lucid and karmic. With Lucid alpha 3, LiveCD, I boot up (I have not installed it) from CD, and there it is; The cleanest fonts I have ever seen, with full 3D support. Good Things I noticed: 1. My gmail on firefox looked amazing, meaning that the fonts were clean, crisp and thin.. just beautiful. Nicer at least that how it looks now.. and until now, i'd thought it looks quite good on Karmic! 2. Snappier feel 3. My external LCD (samsung, syncMaster 2494hs) optimal resolution was finally available, so my external screen was working and looking crisp (unlike with Karmic, with fglrx driver, where it is stretched and fuzzy) 4. 3D support out of the box, compiz enabled out of the box, NO DELAY for minimize or maximize or anything. Bad things I noticed: 1. My external LCD, while looking like it is working of optimal resolution (nice and crisp and full screened), seemed to fill slightly more than the physical screen; meaning that when I maximized a window, the title bar is just out of the top of the screen. Strange. 2. as I was about to report (while actually using lucid) I moved to click the new yahoo quick search away (change it from yahoo to wiki) while loading the launchpad site to make this report, and suddenly the CD starts working again, the screen flickers, goes all multi-coloured and distorted, and the whole thing freezes. No escape using ctrl-alt-f1, or right_alt-sys_rq-k ... or any key combination I could think of. And I guess this is too difficult to troubleshoot on a live CD, as I can't get to the logs after it has happened. All in all, looking very promising for us ATI users. I wonder now how the latest fglrx driver will work, once it is updated and available for the latest kernel. -- [M76] [ubuntu 9.04] [ubuntu 9.10] slow unminimizing with ati card and desktop effects enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer 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

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 351186] Re: [M76] [ubuntu 9.04] [ubuntu 9.10] slow unminimizing with ati card and desktop effects enabled
Hi everybody, what would also be interesting to check is, whether the new Direct2d [1] option of the current fglrx driver (i.e. 10.2) resolves the delay problem. The forum at phoronix indicates that this might be the case though this experimental option seems to be quite unstable for many cards (especially in conjunction with compiz), so it may be better to wait for 10.3. Unfortunately i'm heavily busy with my thesis so can't mess with my system at the moment but maybe someone else wants to give it a shot.

I don't have the slow minimize/maximize issue, but the memory leaks while scrolling any kind of text document (gedit, terminal, even pdf files) makes my computer completely unusable. Already tried both patches, no luck. Updated to the latest 10.1 ATI drivers, no luck either. The only thing left to do is to disable PowerPlay, but I have no idea how.

I was noticing that whenever I launched certain composite-extension binaries it would default to software only rendering. I confirmed that my xorg.conf has the following: Section DRI Group video Mode 0666 EndSection , but it did not help. I checked to fix the permissions of /dev/dri/card0, but that did not exist per some other recommendations. I then did a search for card0 and saw that it existed in /dev/ati/card0. I changed permissions there (g+rw) and confirmed my membership in the video group. I found that it fixed the software only rendering issue for Compiz.

I installed the new Catalyst and afterwards thought I would try it with the ubuntu repos xserver. However, when I changed from the no-backfill to the normal version I could not even start X. I had to boot from a live disk and change my x-org.conf to use the radeon driver, change the xserver back to the no-backfill version. I don't think that this means that they don't work together, just that you might want to install the repo xserver before installing 9.11 if you want to do a real test. -- [M76] [ubuntu 9.04] [ubuntu 9.10] slow unminimizing with ati card and desktop effects enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer 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

I've tried Catalyst 9.11 with the same results (slow unminimizing and also slow vlc/totem playback). The steps i've followed: * Force xserver-common, xserver-xorg-core and xserver-xorg-core-dbg version from the xserver-no-backfill to the original Ubuntu release * Uninstall ATI default propietary drivers from Administration - Hardware Drivers * Reboot * I get a black screen with the mouse working but no logging screen. I can switch to the terminal (ctrl + alt + f2) and login but if i change back to xorg, the image gets corrupted and the system hangs * From the terminal, install Catalyst 9.11: sudo sh ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run * Reboot * Do login, activate compiz and same results as before -- [M76] [ubuntu 9.04] [ubuntu 9.10] slow unminimizing with ati card and desktop effects enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer 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

I've installed http://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/xserver-no- backfill and activated unredirect fullscreen windows The results playing a divx in a window are the same. If the window is small, it works, but if it's larger it doesn't work well. In fullscreen, because the option disabled compiz, it works well. But when i move the mouse (vlc) the movie dissapears 1 second to show the desktop (without icons) and then returns to the movie and in the bottom appears the controls to stop, play, etc. I think that when vlc draws these controls, i'm no longer in fullscreen. The only solution, to put Visual Effects to off. This should be the default option in a clean installation until the problems with ATI are not solved. -- [M76] [ubuntu 9.04] [ubuntu 9.10] slow unminimizing with ati card and desktop effects enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer 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

I've tried the instruction to apply the patch in 9.10 and it corrects the problems with unminimizing but i cannot still use it because without disabling compiz i cannot reproduce avi's. When i open an avi with totem, it runs a little slow in a window, but when i try to put in full screen, it runs very slow (half frames are dropped). When i open an avi with vlc, image is good, but the sound is pretty bad. If if try to go full screen, it gets worse. All these problems dissapear disabling visual effects. I can even play 720p when visual effects are off !!! -- [M76] [ubuntu 9.04] [ubuntu 9.10] slow unminimizing with ati card and desktop effects enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer 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

@flaim, thanks for the tip, but it seems that this is the same fix we've been discussing for months in this bug, that has been now supplemented with a more elegant version by felix kuelig, and that has serious memory leak problems.

I don't know if it is already mentionned.
