Jeremy, good to hear how well its working. Thanks for indicating that a lot of OpenGL bugs get resolved, perhaps this will fix some of the OpenGL issues people have reported previously. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Triaged -- Screen corruption when changing focus xserver-xorg-video-ati https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati 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 is an automatic notification.] A new version of the -ati driver is now available in Karmic. This is a significant update to -ati which brings in kernel mode-setting (currently disabled) and scores of fixes for DRI2, EXA, etc. I've posted the new version of this driver to the following PPA, would you mind testing it and seeing if it resolves the bug you reported? https://edge.launchpad.net/~bryceharrington/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/709908 /+listing-archive-extra If you're not running this release of Ubuntu, you can try booting the Karmic LiveCD and loading the PPA onto it, and then log out/in to restart X. ISOs are available at http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/ After testing Karmic, report back here whether it's still an issue or not, and if it is please post a fresh Xorg.0.log and 'dmesg' output. Note there could be new bugs... please file these as new reports using the command 'ubuntu-bug xorg'. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- Screen corruption when changing focus xserver-xorg-video-ati https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 406731] Re: Screen corruption when changing focus xserver-xorg-video-ati
Ok, this driver is amazing. All I can say is WOW! And it takes a LOT to impress me. I did have it crash the desktop once while loading virtualbox minimized and unminimizing it, but that may have been virtualbox that did that since I think that may have happened with the old driver too. Everything feels 40% faster, and even glxgears shows a higher fps (I know that doesn't mean much, but it does correlate). glxgears doesn't cause the black blanking effect it did before, and I haven't been able to reproduce the bug mentioned above. It appears that freeciv still suffers from poor redraw, but I haven't tested it on a different graphics driver to see if the driver is really the cause. glxgears shows impressive graphics management where it runs at 30% cpu while showing in the foreground at 3000+ fps I might add (the old driver barely made 2200), but idles to 4% when obscured by other windows. There is a negative side effect to this reduction in that the fps results goes down, but if a window is obscured, that behaviour is acceptable to me since the window is not visible anyways and it frees cpu resources for other processes. I also required nomodeset on the kernel line before to boot into a graphical environment without crash. Now I can remove it without harm. All in all, I vote to move this driver into Karmic as the main driver for release. Of course, more testing is needed to ensure everyone has as positive a result as I am having. -- Screen corruption when changing focus xserver-xorg-video-ati https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 406731] Re: Screen corruption when changing focus xserver-xorg-video-ati
I am noticing more and more opengl bugs I ran into before which are also fixed with this driver. There remains only one left, but I don't think it will ever be resolved. epsxe runs opengl fullscreen in a semi windowed mode and it flickers badly when desktop effects are on, but suspending Desktop Effects is sufficient to resolve it. There was an overlay bug previously with epsxe which required me to overlay a window on it to see the opengl rendered screen clearly. This is also resolved. -- Screen corruption when changing focus xserver-xorg-video-ati https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati 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

Ok, another update. As I suspected, the problem still isn't gone, it's just a lot harder to reproduce than before. In order to reproduce it, it required a lot of tinkering with programs like virtualbox and glxgears, etc. -- Screen corruption when changing focus xserver-xorg-video-ati https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 406731] Re: Screen corruption when changing focus xserver-xorg-video-ati
Bryce: Since the latest libdrm update today that pulled in the new libradeon library I have not experienced the inverted display problem anymore. Prior to that update the 3.0.4 update of virtualbox no longer initiated the problem, though glxgears was still causing it until today. glxgears still causes another problem: the screen goes black until exited. This may be a side effect of this bug. It is hard to say. I'm not saying the problem is gone, just that I can no longer reproduce it. -- Screen corruption when changing focus xserver-xorg-video-ati https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati 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

Hmm, the framebuffer must not be corrupted, because the screen shot with ksnapshot shows everything perfectly with the correct colors. This leads me to think it is a display overlay or something of the sort.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 406731] Re: Screen corruption when changing focus xserver-xorg-video-ati
This one was taken by ksnapshot (framebuffer grab) while the screen corruption was occuring, but as you see it looks like a normal screen. The program shown here is virtualbox as it consistently exposes this bug once you open a vm in running state. There are a few other programs that do that as well. glxgears can also initiate it I have noticed, so it is most likely 3D overlay related, ** Attachment added: screen_corruption_ksnapshot_capture.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30583580/screen_corruption_ksnapshot_capture.png -- Screen corruption when changing focus xserver-xorg-video-ati https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati 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

Hi Jeremy, I think I'll send this one upstream, and you've provided most of the information required, but could you also take a photo or two of the screen when it's corrupted?

I am not sure if this is also related to this bug, but some programs that draw upon a window surface like freeciv also seem to have troubles refreshing their content which ends up with a blank section or completely blank window.
