[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 455601] Re: [M7] (32MB) notification messages are not readable
Hi, I had the same problem. I switched to EXA, as using a smaller Virtual screen or color dpeth isn't really a solution (I use a dual-head setup with one 22 display and don't want to miss half the colors). EXA solved the problem of unreadable notifications, but messed up display performance (as discussed in #363238 [though that discussion targeted on Jaunty]). I'm quite at a loss now, as unreadable notifications are not a nice thing, but having to wait several seconds until Firefox (or any other program) scrolls a few rows is unbearable as well. This clearly is a regression from Jaunty as there, XAA worked like a charm.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 455601] Re: [M7] (32MB) notification messages are not readable
With this configuration X is defaulting to 24 bpp. The only problem what I found with this configuration is that if I start Rhythmbox and after that I start Totem to play a video I got the following error: The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 68 error_code 11 request_code 132 minor_code 19) (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.) If first I start Totem then Rhythmbox no problem. I will come back in a few days with the stability of the system. -- [M7] (32MB) notification messages are not readable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455601 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 455601] Re: [M7] (32MB) notification messages are not readable
Does it work fine if your xorg.conf only has this, thus only limiting the virtual display size? Section Screen Identifier laptop_screen SubSection Display Virtual 1024 768 EndSubSection EndSection I would still consider this to be a bug, but it is being improved in the newest drivers with the use of a memory manager which can distribute the video RAM in a more flexible way. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Assignee: Tormod Volden (tormodvolden) = (unassigned) ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- [M7] (32MB) notification messages are not readable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455601 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 455601] Re: [M7] (32MB) notification messages are not readable
man exa list some different EXA options that might help for the flash problem. But if the original issue here is still present with XAA, those options will not help. I guess Option NoAccel true will fix it but it will be unbearable slow. I suspect you're running out of video memory. Try reducing the depth to 16, or specify a virtual display size just as large as your resolution (see man xorg.conf). -- [M7] (32MB) notification messages are not readable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455601 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
