--- Comment #3 from Pablo Estigarribia pablodav@gmail.com --- fedora 26. uname -a Linux bpowerhome 4.12.4-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 27 23:09:13 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

tried with mesa from repositories (17.1.5) and che/mesa che/llvm copr repositories (17.3). (the latests one is the one in the logs).

trying glmark2 got random blank screens, sometimes with grey (lock screen).

This seems to be same on wayland or xorg session.

--- Comment #5 from Pablo Estigarribia pablodav@gmail.com --- After reading many many many pages around the web and trying everything I could try I have got some config that doesn't crash with white/blank screen or background screen.

command tested:

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=2.1 MESA_GLES_VERSION_OVERRIDE=2.0 MESA_NO_ERROR=1 MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR=2014 glmark2

Looks like there is no guide for people new in debugging mesa3d, so I had to spend lot of time looking on the web and trying to get tips to know what I can try here.

debugging tips doesn't helps for newcomers to mesa3d debuggin: https://www.mesa3d.org/debugging.html

First tried with some vars shown in:

https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa

I was also looking in the information shown here:

https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/#index12h2

Then finally used first test with:

https://www.mesa3d.org/envvars.html

I have put the first command I tried, but still don't know what should I really use.

Probably the issue is with MESA_GL or MESA_GLES not fully implemented for the version automatically recognized for the driver (from glxinfo not using the vars to force the version):

Max core profile version: 4.5 Max compat profile version: 3.0 Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1 Max GLES[23] profile version: 3.1

Is there any documentation that could help me assign the bug-free GL version should I use?

I will be trying different versions until get the bigger and will comment again.

I got blank screen also watching youtube videos, it seems to be some random bug that I couldn't identify yet but hope this information could help some other more familiar with mesa3d could.

--- Comment #7 from Pablo Estigarribia pablodav@gmail.com --- I have tried now two more combinations (in /etc/environment to stabilize gnome session):

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.0 MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.1

Up to GL 3.0, everything works fine and stable, glmark2 and gnome session.

With 3.1 or any other higher glmark2 shows only black content on the window opened when I use MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.1 glmark2 in same session that I openned using /etc/environment.

If I change to:

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.1 in /etc/environment, then also gnome session (after login in gdm) got "gdm background" with screen freezed video.

--- Comment #9 from Pablo Estigarribia pablodav@gmail.com --- On latest test th glmark2 passed but changing dpm from auto to high with:

echo "high" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level

as root.

--- Comment #13 from Pablo Estigarribia pablodav@gmail.com --- (In reply to Marcelo "Marc" Ranolfi from comment #12)

Kudos for your findings, Pablo Estigarribia.

I made a workaround available in the form of setting DPM to "Low" on system start and calling a script when you need to set it to "High". They can be found at https://gitlab.com/snippets/1709853 and https://gitlab.com/snippets/1709854.

I'm against disabling DPM altogether from the kernel driver code. That'd be far from ideal.

Thanks Marc!

Is great to have some feedback now.

After looking again into the files of the card0, I have noticed that dpm is enabled by default! (I have been confused because the file changed its place).

Now it is here:

cat /sys/class/drm/card0/power/control auto

uname -a Linux powers11 4.16.1-300.fc28.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Apr 9 15:29:05 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Also their outpus have same files:

/sys/class/drm/card0/ card0-DP-1/ card0-HDMI-A-1/ device/ subsystem/ card0-DVI-D-1/ dev power/ uevent

So it is really fixed for fedora 28!! (kernel 4.16.x)

I have been using this for weeks and not noticed this bug!

Also tested glmark2 and some game just to see if something crashes.

--- Comment #14 from Pablo Estigarribia pablodav@gmail.com --- Today reinstalled fedora 28 and did an upgrade.

Got 3 times the 'blank' screen just working on gnome session, same behaviour as before.

So looks like this bug is still open.
