Tried that:

$ fgrep Tiling /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) RADEON(0): Option "ColorTiling" "false"

Problem is still there.

yeah, makes sense.

yeah, as you said, any rendering to the front buffer should wait for
vblank.  I may play around with it a bit if I have time, but
unfortunately, I seem to be unable to notice tearing generally.  Do
you have any good tips or content that would make it easier to notice?

The other issue is that the current IB scheme doesn't really lend
itself to this.  Ideally we'd queue up everything and then pre-pend a
wait_until vblank when we submit the IB.  Additionally, we have the
issue of multiple crtcs for regular rendering as well.  In that case,
we really need shatter.

yeah, the only problem would be when the video straddles multiple
crtcs.  As you said in this case, we just use similar logic to the
overlay sourcing logic.

Probably, it was just a quick and dirty patch as an example of what

yeah, no textured video until we get acceleration up and running on
r6xx.  Should be soon though.  I'm finishing up the r6xx documentation
now.

Re: x1250 horizontal tearing problems

[Roland Scheidegger]

Don't the the WAIT_UNTIL_CRTC_VLINE, WAIT_UNTIL_FE_CRTC_VLINE,
WAIT_UNTIL_RE_CRTC_VLINE conditions only work correctly when the
CRTC_GUI_TRIG_VLINE register is configured appropriately?

Re: x1250 horizontal tearing problems

[Alex Rades]

I've also just noticed that the above behaviour only applies when running
xcompmgr. When there is no composite manager, The horizontal tearing is
always present.

Re: x1250 horizontal tearing problems

[Alex Rades]

Just FYI,
I've tried the patch. It solves the problem when running in fullscreen. If
the window i'm playing the video in is smaller, sometimes the horizontal
tearing appears again. Moreover, if i run a big enough window with  ARGB
visual above the movie window, the tearing appears as well. (this problem
does not occur with smaller ARGB windows)

Then again, this probably is about a redirected window... so really it
isn't the textured video rendering that needs to be synchronized to the
refresh, but the compositing manager's rendering to the screen. A
hackish solution could be to use the WAIT_UNTIL trick for all rendering
targeted to the screen pixmap; a possibly cleaner solution could be to
create SYNC extension counters for vertical blank and make the
compositing manager use those.

Could be the same problem as the "x1250 horizontal tearing problem" discussed
on the mailing list. But I see this without a running video, just normal
desktop usage.

[Bug 15764] New: Junk at right edge of screen when pointer gets updated

[bugzilla-daemon]

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15764

   Summary: Junk at right edge of screen when pointer gets updated
   Product: xorg
   Version: git
  Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
  Severity: normal
  Priority: medium
 Component: Driver/Radeon
AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Created an attachment (id=16253)
 --> (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=16253)
X server logfile

I've noticed some temporary visual junk at the right edge of the screen when
the pointer gets updated. The best way a can describe it is that when the
pointer changes you see a random "sprite" for one frame on the right edge of
the screen. The random contents seem to stem from the framebuffer itself.

I see this most often in the following situations:

  - moving the pointer over a link list in firefox: the pointer changes
constantly between "pointer" and "hand" symbol

  - moveing the pointer over the middle scrollbar in gtik: the pointer changes
between "text", "pointer" and "left-right resize/move" symbol


I'm currently using commit

  445b71021843665ba32f37b2ce5c9d2857c07cc7

on a Lenovo T60 running Fedora 9 preview.

Good to see this getting tackled. Here's what I think is missing:

  * Set up the CRTC*_GUI_TRIG_VLINE register such that it waits for
scanout to be outside of the destination vertical range.
  * Only wait if the window isn't redirected (backing pixmap is the
screen pixmap)
  * Select the CRTC to to synchronize to according to visibility of
the window, or if it's the same on both CRTCs, according to user
preference (maybe reuse the XV_CRTC attribute for this?)
