Bug ID: 93866 Summary: Tonga: Weston-drm direct scan out corruption Product: DRI Version: DRI git Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) OS: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: DRM/AMDgpu Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: adf.lists@gmail.com
Created attachment 121287 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=121287&action=edit external picture showing corruption
Testing both release and git wayland/weston on R9285.
Using weston-launch from fbcon so it uses weston-drm.
Apart from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93740 which can be worked around, rendering is good when compositing.
If I run something that allows weston to enable direct scanout there is slight corruption. kodi and mpv are the only ways I know to do this.
If I do something that changes back yo compositing the corruption goes, taking a screen shot/recording or zooming in will all "fix" the corruption.
I am inferring direct scan out is happening as I can't change transparency + the man page for weston-drm says it will be used where possible.
Tried going back in time with mesa to see if it ever worked, but I started hitting places where either weston wouldn't start or I always got compositing so no corruption but I could change transparency.
