[Bug 33348] New: Display corruption when activating desktop effects (compositing) in kwin...
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33348
Summary: Display corruption when activating desktop effects (compositing) in kwin... Product: Mesa Version: 7.10 Platform: x86-64 (AMD64) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Drivers/Gallium/r300 AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: adawit@kde.org
This bug report is the same as the one I opened downstream against KWin. See
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262824
That bug report contains all the information about my setup. The only thing I wanted to add was the software I have on my system, an ArchLinux box:
ati-dri 7.9.0.git20101207-2 dri2proto 2.3-1 kernel26 2.6.36.3-1 libdrm 2.4.22-3 libgl 7.9.0.git20101207-2 mesa 7.9.0.git20101207-2 xf86-video-ati 6.13.2-2 xf86driproto 2.1.1-1 xorg-server 1.9.2-2 xorg-server-common 1.9.2-2 xorg-server-devel 1.9.2-2
I also tested the newer versions of the above packages with the same result:

Does the problem go away with the Mesa master branch?
Nope. It makes no difference. The problem has actually gotten worse since I got the updated packages I listed comment #8 vs the original report. And the issue stays the same with Mesa master branch from today.

Anyhow, attempting to enable any sort of compositing (aka desktop effects) in kwin results in a completely black window ontop which are some rectangular colored (green/red) artifacts. The 3D game is about as usable as it was in the attached screenshot.

Well Xv is most definitely enabled on my system, but I fail to see how that helps with the kwin composting issue. Perhaps, I misunderstood your question ? I have attached the output of the xvinfo just the same. If that was what you were suggesting, then no it does not help with the kwin issues.
On the other hand, if you were asking whether or not changing the compositing mode in kwin from "OpenGL" to "XRender" helps then the answer would yes for the most part. Unfortunately many desktop effects won't work in that mode. Anyhow, I rather doubt that was what you wanted to know.

Use Xv; playback a video using Xv. Xv uses the 3D engine just like OpenGL. If the 3D driver is not properly emitting some 3D state, but Xv is, OpenGL should work properly after you've used Xv since the missing state will now be programmed properly. xvinfo is not enough, you actually have to render some video.

Okay, when I do that then there is a very minor improvement. The artifacts shown in the screen shots above are no longer there, but I still get a completely dark screen with only the mouse pointer showing...

--- Comment #20 from Dawit Alemayehu adawit@kde.org 2011-06-17 06:47:04 PDT --- Problem is still there with the following updated packages:
libgl 7.10.3-1 ati-dri 7.10.3-1 libdrm 2.4.25-1 xf86-video-ati 6.14.1-1 xorg-server-common 1.10.2-1 xorg-server-utils 7.6-2 xorg-server 1.10.2-1 xf86driproto 2.1.1-1
Is there anyway to debug such that I can try ? I do not mind getting down and dirty if it means getting this issue resolved. OpenGL support has not worked on my machine ever since the ati driver was switched to the Gallium version.

--- Comment #21 from Robin Wheeler robin-linux@hotmail.co.uk 2011-06-17 08:26:50 PDT --- I'm on ubuntu 11.04 now and unity is unusable. If I boot straight to it but on my dual boot system if I boot windows xp then simply restart the laptop unity works just fine except with "tearing" in web browser. So Yes you may be right some setup state is missing in the driver. But that still will not I believe fix the "tearing".

I get the same display corruption with those options as well set as well. It does not matter if you set both or one at a time. For me the corruption is now better than what it was a couple of revisions back, but it is still unusable.
