Either the upstream bug was re-introduced or never really fixed because I'm running the amd-catalyst-13.8 beta2 version (fglrx 13.2000). As soon as the screen shuts off, the CPU usages spikes to 100%. Neither of the workarounds work for me. I've been forced to just turn off X at night.

Crap, I had a strong suspicion this was the case because I too didn't experience this bug in 12.10 but 12.10 did not really appeal to my tastes (because of some personal reasons that aren't necessary to this bug.) I don't remember if I ever mentioned that in another bug or not. Just as a side request if you could, can you please report the default settings for 12.10 for the settings you changed. I actually prefer to keep my desktop tearfree and knowing what those settings are by default in 12.10 will help me a long with plenty of others who want to keep tearfree. (I remember keeping tearfree enabled and not having the problem in 12.10 but the case might have changed since I tested it before Quantal was released and in beta1) Thanks for taking the time to look into this deeper, and I'm sorry if I sounded angry earlier, I just really wanted updates on the matter and you surely did provide updates that show me peeps care! -- 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/969860 Title: fglrx uses 100% CPU when screen turns off (spinning in glXWaitVideoSyncSGI or glXSwapBuffers) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/969860/+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 969860] Re: fglrx uses 100% CPU when screen turns off (spinning in glXWaitVideoSyncSGI or glXSwapBuffers)
OK, I've spent hours testing various options. The bug is much harder to reproduce in Ubuntu 12.10 because the default rendering method in Compiz 0.9.8 is the same as the workaround (1) listed at the top of the bug. To reproduce the bug I had to force the rendering method that Compiz 0.9.7 uses: CCSM OpenGL Framebuffer object = OFF Vertex buffer object = OFF Always use buffer swapping = OFF Then I could reproduce the bug. And this time I noticed that glXWaitVideoSyncSGI is not returning. The spin is happening below glXWaitVideoSyncSGI, but above uki_firegl_WaitVBlank (which returns constantly). And because glXWaitVideoSyncSGI is never returning it means we have little hope of even working around the bug in compiz. It's happening 100% inside the fglrx driver, out of reach of compiz. Interestingly even with the native compiz 0.9.8 rendering method I could reproduce a similar spin in the glxgears process (not compiz). So again, the problem applies to any OpenGL application. If neither of the workarounds listed at the top of the bug work for you, then please consider uninstalling fglrx and using the default radeon driver instead. And if you haven't already, then upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10 might help, but you don't really need to because that's equivalent to the workaround at the top of the bug. Finally, I have contacted AMD directly and asked them to review the bug because even their copy has not been touched since it was logged 5 months ago: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=535 ** Changed in: compiz Status: Triaged = Invalid ** Changed in: compiz/0.9.8 Status: Triaged = Invalid ** Changed in: compiz-core Status: Triaged = Invalid ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Critical ** Changed in: fglrx-installer-updates (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Critical ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- 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/969860 Title: fglrx uses 100% CPU when screen turns off (spinning in glXWaitVideoSyncSGI or glXSwapBuffers) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/969860/+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

Jordan: I have already mentioned all the settings I've changed in comment #80. However if you want an optimal tear-free experience then you should not change the compiz settings.

I had the same problem for a while now, until recently I found a solution which I'm going to share with you. I know it's not the ideal approach, but I hope it will be useful for you guys until someone fixes the issue. Investigating I found that installing Caffeine in my Ubuntu 12.04.1 and checking the Disable Screensaver option fixed the problem for me. I also checked the option Start Caffeine on login at the Caffeine Preference's window, although the Disable Screensaver is not a persistent option and each time I log in I have to check this option again. With this software installed and enabled, my CPU is now always low and the computer is quiet... the only drawback is that the screen never goes blank and I have to turn off the monitor attached to my laptop manually, but for me it's not really a problem and I much prefer this to finding my laptop hot when I come back after leaving it for 15 minutes.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 969860] Re: fglrx uses 100% CPU when screen turns off (spinning in glXWaitVideoSyncSGI or glXSwapBuffers)
Just a small heads-up: Activating Force full screen redraw (buffer swap) on repaint caused a significant increase in CPU load with regular usage on my system. That's why I had to go back to deactivating the automatic screen switch entirely. In the course of doing so I discovered another bug in that the automatic screen lock does not work as long as the display isn't turned off.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 969860] Re: fglrx uses 100% CPU when screen turns off (spinning in glXWaitVideoSyncSGI or glXSwapBuffers)
Well, this is a little bit embarrasing. The workaroung porposed in #48 have another error, sorry. I prefer to detail it again. This is the only workaround that works for me: ### ATI Privative _ ccsm-OpenGL-Sync to VBlank [disabled] 1. Open Catalyst Control Center (admin mode). 2. Display Options - Tear Free- [disabled] 3. Go to 3D More Settings. 4. Set Wait for vertical refresh - Off unless aplication specifies. _ With Wait for vertical refresh- On, unless application specifies, I've problems with compiz with ot without Sync to VBlank enabled. Enabling cssm-workarounds-Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint doesn't solve the problem in any workaround while vsync is enabled in cssm or catalyst control center. But disabling vsync completely and enabling Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint seems that reduce the tearing a little bit. Anyway, obviously since I don't have vsync I'm suffering of tearing. ### Radeon OpenSource In the other hand, with the radeon opensource driver, only disabling ccsm-OpenGL-Sync to VBlank (keeping buffer swap dissabled) solves the problem and don't suffer tearing (but the GPU temp is clearly hottest comparing with privative). I'm testing since two days without problems. In a few days will report if I had more problems or I can replicate the problem with compiz Resuming, only the [WORKAROUND 2] solves the problem (in my case) As curiosity, In Ubuntu 11.10, when I install the privative driver, I always need to disable ccsm-OpenGL-Sync to VBlank to reduce tearing or some type of ¿shuttering? when moving windows quickly, and enable Tear free in the catalyst Control Center. -- 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/969860 Title: fglrx uses 100% CPU when screen turns off (spinning in glXWaitVideoSyncSGI or glXSwapBuffers) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/969860/+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

Omer, How and what needs fixing depends on the outcome of more testing on fglrx that I have not had time to do yet.

I just wanted to add that I had the same problem for a while so I started checking the temp every 10 mins or so and it was solid at 62-65C with a full load. I deduced the only time I had issues with it overheating was when the screensaver was on. I turned it off and set the display to turn off after 30 mins. and it hasn't overheated since.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 969860] Re: fglrx uses 100% CPU when screen turns off (spinning in glXWaitVideoSyncSGI or glXSwapBuffers)
Regarding high CPU usage when screen turns off. I might have had a real casualty of this bug. An 18 day old HP Pavilion g6 failed after being left unattended for about 1 hour while running Ubuntu. The laptop was on a hard smooth surface in an air conditioned environment. It was found fan running, warm to the touch and screen completely black. Nothing could be done to exit this state. The failed laptop was returned to a Compaq facility where I expect they are intent on finding the root cause of failure (I do not believe this was a repair facility). The replacement HP Pavilion g6 (a slightly different model) is also warm to the touch when the screen turns off. Leading me to this bug report. Conclusions, the problems stated here may be the secondary cause of the first laptop's failure. The primary cause of course would be the laptop's inability to sustain high CPU usage.

OK, thanks to George's tip I finally solved the problem just disabling tear-free in catalyst center (admin mode) and the configuration proposed in the workaround: (obviously with the proprietary ATI fglrx) 1. Open Catalyst Control Center (admin mode). 2. Display Options - Tear Free- disabled 3. Go to 3D More Settings. 4. Set Wait for vertical refresh to On, unless application specifies. With tear-free enabled, I always get compiz at 100% inmediatly when close the lid of my laptop or 30 minutes after (aprox). I've tried to replicate the problem many many times with tear-free disabled but is imposible, now is working flawless. My laptop and compiz process enjoys a cool and quiet idle mode indefinitely. I suppose that tear-free is enabled by default in the opensource driver, this would explain why this occurs with this driver too. ___ Ubuntu 12.04 Catalyst Control Center: 12.4 Driver package: 8.96.7-120312A-135598c-ATI 2D Driver: 8.96.4 -- 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/969860 Title: fglrx uses 100% CPU when screen turns off (spinning in glXWaitVideoSyncSGI or glXSwapBuffers) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/969860/+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

Weirdly, this bug does not happen if I turn the screen off using: xset dpms force off But it does still happen if I let the gnome screensaver kick in and turn the monitor off.

For me changing from the gnome-screensaver to the xscreensaver worked. I still have around 7% of CPU usage from compiz while the screen is locked, which in my opinion is still a lot for displaying nothing, but at least it consumes less battery on my laptop.

The set Wait for vertical refresh to On, unless application specifies workaround does not fix the issue when running gnome-shell. Compiz is not being used when using gnome-shell.
