| tjaalton | RAOF: have you tried llvmpipe yet? unity3d doesn't seem too useful with it, there's actually a bug report already, bug 926859 | 10:57 |
|---|---|---|
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 926859 in xorg (Ubuntu) "Desktop almost useless - due to corruption and flikering (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/926859 | 10:57 |
| tjaalton | but I'm not sure if it's the driver or unity failing | 10:57 |
| RAOF | tjaalton: A bit of both - compiz does weird, weird things. | 10:57 |
| tjaalton | in any case, it might be wise to blacklist it? | 10:57 |
| RAOF | We already do, right? | 10:58 |
| RAOF | Or not? | 10:58 |
| RAOF | If it's not blacklisted, it should be. | 10:58 |
| tjaalton | I didn't need to do anything to use it | 10:58 |
| tjaalton | yeah | 10:58 |
| RAOF | Oh, the renderer string changed, so the existing software rasteriser blacklist doesn't kick in. | 10:58 |
| RAOF | Yeah. One bug to file against unity! | 10:58 |
| tjaalton | not that it has those already :) | 10:59 |
| tjaalton | hmm that wasn't right | 10:59 |
| RAOF | One *more* bug to file against unity :P | 11:00 |
| tjaalton | :) | 11:01 |
| tjaalton | unity2d was quite snappy on the sis-crap though | 11:01 |
| tjaalton | using vesa, of course | 11:01 |
| RAOF | Heh. | 11:01 |
| RAOF | Yeah, Qt's renderer is pretty hot stuff. | 11:01 |

| stgraber | any reason why I'm getting compiz running in my Precise VMs now? :) (obviously it's all broken and full of artifacts) | 20:22 |
| stgraber | (it's rather annoying when you try to debug the live environment and you don't see what you're doing or just get apport windows popping up every 10s ;)) | 20:25 |
| Sarvatt | stgraber: software rendering uses llvmpipe instead of the old swrast, theres probably a hardcoded check for the old GL renderer string somewhere, hmm | 20:29 |
| Sarvatt | looks like unity-support-test in nux | 20:30 |
| stgraber | Sarvatt: I "think" we may want to change that check ;) It's certainly interesting to have an option of running compiz on the llvmpipe stuff but it doesn't seem quite ready at this point :) | 20:31 |
| Prf_Jakob | stgraber: which host software? | 20:32 |
| stgraber | (I wouldn't mind compiz running in my VM if it wasn't using 50% of CPU to render garbage) | 20:32 |
| Sarvatt | yep, was hopeful it'd work but sounds like its a nogo | 20:32 |
| stgraber | Prf_Jakob: kvm | 20:32 |
| Sarvatt | Prf_Jakob: i'm sure he's using kvm or virtualbox | 20:32 |
| Prf_Jakob | ok, nm then. | 20:32 |
| Sarvatt | stgraber: btw vmware 3D passthrough works great out of the box with unity-3d now :P | 20:32 |
| stgraber | Sarvatt: apparently we'll be getting a new compiz soon, but I don't know if it's going to work any better under llvmpipe | 20:33 |
| Prf_Jakob | Sarvatt: In case he wasn't I couldn't let the oppertunity to brag about that ;-) | 20:33 |
| Prf_Jakob | go* | 20:33 |
| Sarvatt | yep definitely needs to be fixed in unity-support-test in nux | 20:33 |
| Sarvatt | // Check for software rendering. | 20:33 |
| Sarvatt | if (results->renderer != NULL && | 20:33 |
| Sarvatt | (strncmp (results->renderer, "Software Rasterizer", 19) == 0 || | 20:33 |
| Sarvatt | strncmp (results->renderer, "Mesa X11", 8) == 0 || | 20:33 |
| Sarvatt | strstr (results->renderer, "on softpipe") != NULL)) { | 20:33 |
| Sarvatt | results->flags |= FLAG_SOFTWARE_RENDERING; | 20:33 |
| cnd | urgh, X synaptics has a new motion regression algo, and it's completely broken | 20:40 |
| cnd | the question is whether we should fix it, or just revert the algo | 20:40 |

| bryceh | hey tjaalton, for bug #745112 is it correct that it got fixed in 2.6.39 (and 2.6.38 via natty-updates) but then has regressed starting with 3.0? | 22:53 |

| bryceh | tjaalton, Sarvatt , RAOF - any of you have arrandale laptops with docking stations that can reproduce ^^ this bug? | 22:53 |
| RAOF | bryceh: Sorry, no arrandale here. | 22:53 |
| Sarvatt | no docking stations and no arrandale | 22:53 |
| * RAOF runs a SandyBridge and GM45 shop. | 22:54 | |
| broder | what generation of cpu would go with arrandale? | 22:56 |
| RAOF | That's the original Core iX chips, IIRC. | 22:57 |
| bryceh | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrandale | 22:58 |
| bryceh | nehalem/westmere | 22:58 |
| Sarvatt | 3 digit numbers after the i3/i5/i7 | 22:59 |
| broder | ok. i have a 1st-gen i7 machine here. i can probably test that for you guys, but will take a bit because somebody's using it at the moment | 23:00 |
| bryceh | broder, does it have a displayport and docking station? | 23:03 |
| bryceh | broder, the testing is probably going to be of the kernel bisection variety | 23:03 |
| broder | it has a DP and a docking station, which has DP, DVI, and VGA | 23:04 |
| bryceh | broder, ok cool; when you get a chance see if you can reproduce the bug, which appears to occur just when you dock the laptop (possibly when the docking station has 2 external monitors configured). It should black-screen fairly reliably within 1-2 tries | 23:06 |
| broder | precise or oneiric? | 23:06 |
| bryceh | broder, apparently the bug affects both | 23:07 |
| bryceh | broder, however I'm most interested in precise | 23:07 |
| broder | ok. i'll go ahead and grab a new daily then | 23:07 |
| bryceh | if it can be repro'd on precise, next thing to test after that would be http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-fixes/ | 23:08 |
