[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 353126] Re: Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org prior to release 7.5

2010-04-20 Thread Dan Burke
This was not brought up at nvnews because it was not originally a Binary Blob issue. Whatever was changed in xorg to fix this apparently requires a driver fix too. At any rate, I tested my ATI box and the results were as one might predict: Radeon driver + Compiz: Works FGLRX driver + Compix: Doe

My testing results: Intel with Compiz Enabled: Works Nvidia Blob with Compiz: Still Broken My wife is using the TV so I cannot test my HTPC with fglrx yet to see the status there. Regardless, nobody has every investigated or stated why this worked for all drivers, open or not, in 8.10. At any r

The reports that it's working on Nouveau make it an invalid test case, because the Ubuntu Nouveau drivers do not include Gallium which is required to make Compiz work. Remote Desktop works fine with Compiz disabled. The issue here is only with Remote Desktop + Compiz. But to make you feel better

Comment #141 confirmed this is a bug with Intel drivers. So this is not limited to binary blobs. And the reason there are so many comments on this bug is because developers have ignored this bug and instead left the community to fend for itself and come up with half baked (if well intentioned) fi

Using Nouveau does _NOT_ fix this bug, Nouveau does not support Compiz. Can a developer PLEASE chime in on this? This worked in 8.10 and has been broken since. We were told it would be fixed with Lucid and, a month away from Lucid's release, it's still not fixed. Could someone please at least s

This has nothing to do with closed source drivers. This bug only occurs with Compiz enables, which the Nouveau drivers do not support, so they are an invalid test case. As stated before in this bug numerous times, this worked fine in 8.10 with all closed source drivers that supported Compiz. The

This bug was not fixed in either Jaunty or Karmic. From the upstream reports it hasn't been fixed upstream either, so it will probably not be fixed in Lucid either. The only true fix/workaround is to reinstall Intrepid which is the last version which had a working VNC + Active Compiz integration.
