[Bug 337301] Re: FFe: Update to 2.6.3
GMA945 (Dell Latitude D430): UXA still works fine, basically unchanged from previous versions. I still get some fading artifacts in compiz, but otherwise works okay. EXA still by and large works as well, but I get one regression: When I start glxgears and try to move the window, the original window content is snapshot at the old position, and the windows underneath don't redraw. I have to switch workspaces back and forth to repair it. -- FFe: Update to 2.6.3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
[Bug 337301] Re: FFe: Update to 2.6.3
Bryce, do we have to wait for an kernel update to get better performance? In Ioquake3 I get in Intrepid 87 FPS and in Jaunty 11 FPS w/o DRI2. (Resolution 640x480). compiz is also very slow, not really usable.

[Bug 337301] Re: FFe: Update to 2.6.3
@Martin, that glxgears thing is not a regression but rather is the old no redirected indirect rendering bug that has been there since we first adopted Compiz, and that DRI2 (and UXA) was introduced to fix. @Achim, Compiz performance was fine for me when I tested for this upload. -- FFe: Update to 2.6.3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs

[Bug 337301] Re: FFe: Update to 2.6.3
slangasek, brief summary from the release notes: 2.6.2: Here comes a pretty significant bugfix release for the 2.6 2D series. The goal of this release is to get out the major fixes for GEM and KMS that we think we've pounded on enough to be stable -- certainly more stable than previously. Notable fixes include a significant BO memory usage reduction (which many have suffered from with compositing), textured XV support with KMS, and rotation support with KMS. Some infrequent failure to render/xv with GEM on 965 (dmesg warnings about being unable to bind objects) should also be fixed. But perhaps the exciting thing for most people will be the dynamic front buffer allocation. We nearly slipped this into 2.6.0, but decided that it was just a little too new. Well, turns out it was actually in good shape, and it's time to get it out there. You'll need UXA to do this. 2.6.3: This is an easy one: two bugfixes for regressions in the last release. One broke initialization with UXA and DRI1, and the other made pixmap allocation on i915 take insane amounts of memory. ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel + [description] - At least from what I've read in the mailing list, the 2.6.3 release of intel drivers should provide a good number of bugfixes over 2.6.1, the one present in jaunty's repositories. - I'm wondering if it is the case to update, since it also requires libdrm 2.4.5. + At least from what I've read in the mailing list, the 2.6.3 release of + intel drivers should provide a good number of bugfixes over 2.6.1, the + one present in jaunty's repositories. + + 2.6.2/2.6.3 are significant bug fix releases, incorporating many fixes + to GEM/DRI2/UXA as well as a number of more general bugs and performance + issues. + + Bringing our -intel up closer to the latest upstream stable release also + makes it easier to get support from upstream; 2.6.1 is too old and + they're just asking bug reporters to re-test against newer versions, + which is hampering efforts to get additional fixes backported for + jaunty. + + Upstream for -intel is advocating UXA as a solution to a wide variety of + bugs and problems that we're seeing in the distribution currently.
