[Bug 28069] New: maniadrive - smooth play with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true, (almost) unplayable otherwise
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28069
Summary: maniadrive - smooth play with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true, (almost) unplayable otherwise Product: DRI Version: XOrg CVS Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: medium Component: DRM/Radeon AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: pcpa@mandriva.com.br
The problem described in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28002 actually also happens with the ati driver. Just that with the ati driver, it is less visible (the car position jumps less), but with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT it also becomes a lot more smooth.

--- Comment #5 from Michel Dänzer michel@daenzer.net 2010-05-14 07:31:59 PDT --- Quite a few more extensions are available with direct rendering, e.g. GLX_SGI_video_sync. Maybe there's a problem with one of those. Might be interesting to, with direct rendering:
* If the maniadrive process hogs the CPU: Get a profile with sysprof or oprofile. * Otherwise: Interrupt execution at regular intervals in gdb and see if it's in a particular place most of the time.

--- Comment #6 from Paulo César Pereira de Andrade pcpa@mandriva.com.br 2010-05-14 12:22:37 PDT --- It doesn't hog cpu, and the performance decrease in fps is minimal. After 30ish ^Cs in gdb the most common backtrace pattern is:
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0xffffe424 in __kernel_vsyscall () (gdb) bt #0 0xffffe424 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb6e92b16 in poll () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #2 0xb5e94c10 in ??

the second most common pattern is: Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0xb6e92aa1 in poll () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0xb6e92aa1 in poll () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #1 0xb5e94c10 in ??

only a few times I got a "random" different backtrace, eg: Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0xb62a800c in pthread_once () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 (gdb) bt #0 0xb62a800c in pthread_once () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 #1 0xb692b9d7 in ??

--- Comment #7 from Michel Dänzer michel@daenzer.net 2010-05-20 02:45:52 PDT --- Possible next steps would be trying to figure out if it really needs to call glXMakeCurrent() so often / why that takes such a long time.

--- Comment #8 from Paulo César Pereira de Andrade pcpa@mandriva.com.br 2010-05-20 16:26:50 PDT --- (In reply to comment #7)
Possible next steps would be trying to figure out if it really needs to call glXMakeCurrent() so often / why that takes such a long time.
I tried to find in the svn log in http://raydium.org/svn.php?all= but neither there neither a way to do a svn checkout and then a svn annotate...
If you look at http://raydium.org/svn.php?f=/trunk/raydium/myglut-x11.c, in "void myglutGetEvents (void)" it calls it for ConfigureNotify events, but also always call when leaving that function. The only non local exits are for ClientMessage and DestroyNotify events.
Maybe it was some kind of workaround to some bug.
I made a bug report also at the maniadrive forum at:
http://memak.raydium.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2115
as it appears to be a raydium or maniadrive bug. At least based on your comment. Thanks.

--- Comment #9 from Paulo César Pereira de Andrade pcpa@mandriva.com.br 2010-05-20 16:30:19 PDT --- Just for the record, I made a build commenting the call to glxMakeCurrent() and tested on an ati and intel card.
In the ati, it appears to have resolved the issue, but framerates become reported as like 9 fps, and it was indeed somewhat choppy, but the car did not keep "jumping". With the intel card it did not make any difference, and still LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true would correct the issue in the alternate build (and framerate as over 150 fps in both cards/computers).
[ talking about intel card because I also reported the problem in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28002 ]
