[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 772873] Re: Vino does not work with compositing
I have the bug with 14.04 Trusty. Using vino on server side (and remmina as client), test between two machines in LAN. With fglrx installed on the server, the image does not update at all. When switching back to X.org driver : the image is updated on the client side but very slowly. (Window movements initiated from the client are also slow to display on the server's screen) I installed the Catalyst control center (fglrx-admcccle 2:13) and in admin mode I activated the no tear mode as suggested above. Now it works fine.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 772873] Re: Vino does not work with compositing
for trouble shooting, i have some updates. all are personal opinions and welcome to point out my misunderstanding. based on fglrx driver. when using metacity, we can see ProcCopyArea is frequently invoked if i drag a window around desktop. it help to update the damage region to some drawable which is indicated by VINO as following: vfb-priv-xdamage = XDamageCreate (vfb-priv-xdisplay, GDK_WINDOW_XID (vfb-priv-root_window), XDamageReportDeltaRectangles); in fact, the drawable ID is 186 on my platform, and i can oberve that DamageExtNotify for that ID in this case. the codestack shows it is triggered by damageCopyArea which is mentioned above. then VINO works well. key point, this copy is absolutely not requested by VINO because the client ID is different, so it's not the copy between RFB and root window. i wonder if it is metacity doing this copy. while, change to compiz. ProcCopyArea won't be invoked for draging a window. no damage updates to drawable 186. VINO freezes. actually we can force to flush some damages to drawable monitored by VINO, that's why enabled tear free option gives us a workaround, rotating screen also helps. but i don't prefer to add this flushing into common cases. i also got some questions: how does compiz draw the window while it is moving? if it won't copy area, is there any method to get the damages in Xserver side? i suppose it uses OGL to directly draw this process, but m not sure where it is rendered, root window or redirect window? i ask OGL guys to report kinds of damage to fglrx driver, no effect. i carefully say that it might be issue of DRI in fglrx driver, because radeon driver supports VINO much better, and DRI in fglrx doesn't comply with standards quite well. so all my info and questions are for the purpose of fixing this issue. if any buddy know the damage reporting mechanism for drawable monitored by VINO in COMPIZ+RADEON case, please help me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772873 Title: Vino does not work with compositing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/772873/+subscriptions ___ 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'm using the Tear Free option at the moment, but screen refresh is terribly slow, even when used over a LAN.

I can confirm that this bug persists with Ubuntu 12.04 on my HP Pavilion g4 laptop. (lspci yields VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Device 9647). I have tried with and without the ATI proprietary fglrx driver (v8.96.7 which is the standard 'non-post- release' offered up by Additional Drivers). Have also tried the 'No Tear' option in the AMD Catalyst Control Center. Finally, tried logging in to Ubuntu 2D and Gnome Classic (No Effects) but still no screen refresh.

By the way, this is in Oneiric, and I am ready to do any test that can help you fix this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772873 Title: Vino does not work with compositing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/772873/+subscriptions ___ 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 772873] Re: Vino does not work with compositing
any update on this? Yes. I have run through testing this on various combinations of graphics cards and video drivers for both natty and oneiric while running Unity. In this testing I was able to reproduce the bug only with fglrx-installer and the old nvidia-173 proprietary drivers. The free drivers worked properly. The nvidia-current driver worked fine as well, even in natty. Thus, I confirm Pitti's earlier statement that this is an fglrx specific bug. As a next action for this bug, Canonical will escalate to AMD. There is insufficient time remaining for a fix to be included in oneiric, but we may be able to provide an updated driver via x-updates; as of oneiric jockey (aka 'Restricted Drivers') will be able to load driver updates from this repository. No promises for earlier Ubuntu releases, however if we provide driver updates it will be via the x-updates PPA. Otherwise, you can download and manually install new drivers from AMD directly, but note these are not supported by Ubuntu. Alternatively, the open source -ati driver supports the full range of ATI chipsets; it doesn't have as rich of 3D support as fglrx but it has sufficient support to run Unity reasonably well. So as another workaround you should be able to disable fglrx and run using just the open source driver. Similarly, for those users on older NVIDIA hardware not supported by nvidia-current, the -nouveau driver is available, and as of oneiric also supports 3D unity. It also lacks the level of 3D support that the proprietary driver has, but is sufficient for running unity. And of course, Unity-2D remains a suitable workaround. We had also considered the option of dropping Vino from the distro entirely. However I think this is unnecessary; the bug seems localized to just certain video drivers, and there are multiple ways of working around it. I also am hopeful we can get a fix for fglrx in the not too distant future. This seems like a handy feature and would be a shame to lose it over what appears to be just a single driver bug. ** Package changed: vino (Ubuntu Oneiric) = fglrx-installer (Ubuntu Oneiric) ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Confirmed = Triaged ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu Oneiric) Assignee: Canonical Desktop Team (canonical-desktop-team) = Bryce Harrington (bryce) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772873 Title: Vino does not work with compositing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/772873/+subscriptions ___ 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 should add, it appears the xdamage gconf option has been removed from vino in oneiric, so I could not verify that resolves it. I did try testing it with nvidia-173 on natty, but it didn't seem to have an effect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772873 Title: Vino does not work with compositing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/772873/+subscriptions ___ 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 772873] Re: Vino does not work with compositing
The free drivers are crap. Ubuntu is a seriously awesome Linux distribution and a lot of people use it to introduce newbies to Linux. We can't put our best foot forward with a broken remote desktop solution because nobody wants to accept responsibility for the problem. If this was a tiny distro like Tiny Core things would be different, but Ubuntu is a multi-national corporation and there's just no excuse for this. You guys need to get together with someone at AMD and work this problem out instead of just throwing up your hands and saying it's AMD's problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772873 Title: Vino does not work with compositing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/772873/+subscriptions ___ 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
