| MCR_ | Sarvatt, hi - are you here ? | 06:53 |
|---|---|---|
| MCR_ | Sarvatt, ricotz (hi, btw): Yesterday's update of xorg-edgers PPA on Raring breaks multiple Compiz plugins... | 06:54 |
| ricotz | MCR_, i guess you are suspecting the mesa update then? | 06:56 |
| MCR_ | Yeah :( | 06:57 |
| MCR_ | ricotz, it is quite bad this time | 06:57 |
| ricotz | MCR_, i see, you want to give some more information then | 06:58 |
| MCR_ | ricotz, EZoom mouse cursor zooming is broken and the cube looks completely weird... | 07:01 |
| MCR_ | ricotz, I have no idea how everything worx with xorg 1.14... | 07:02 |
| ricotz | MCR_, ok, more like your hardware setup | 07:02 |
| MCR_ | fglrx, ATI 6950 | 07:02 |
| ricotz | MCR_, you are using the canonical x-staging ppa | 07:02 |
| MCR_ | noooooo | 07:02 |
| ricotz | ah | 07:03 |
| MCR_ | tried it once, but was a bad experience | 07:03 |
| ricotz | so you are not actually using mesa! | 07:03 |
| MCR_ | the strange thing is that it broke with yesterdays update | 07:03 |
| MCR_ | I am not sure what exactly broke it | 07:03 |
| ricotz | would be better if you track down the actual package which broke things | 07:04 |
| MCR_ | ok | 07:04 |
| ricotz | since while you are using fglrx it doesnt make much sense that xedgers broke it with the recent updates | 07:05 |
| MCR_ | it is quite strange, but I am (quite) sure it was the xorg-edgers update... | 07:06 |
| MCR_ | first update yesterday broke it really bad -> ezoom was having 3fps on my setup | 07:06 |
| MCR_ | today's update (libdrm) has fixed it up a bit and ezoom is fast again, but the cursor zooming is broken | 07:07 |
| MCR_ | what parts of x is fglrx utilizing ? | 07:08 |
| ricotz | MCR_, actually none of mesa/drm update should effect your fglrx setup | 07:09 |
| MCR_ | well that is really strange then | 07:09 |
| ricotz | you are sure you are actually runnning fglrx? | 07:09 |
| MCR_ | yes | 07:09 |
| MCR_ | OpenGL version string: 4.2.12217 Compatibility Profile Context 9.012 | 07:10 |
| MCR_ | OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. | 07:10 |
| MCR_ | OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series | 07:10 |
| ricotz | which package version is that? "dpkg -l | grep fglrx" | 07:10 |
| MCR_ | ii fglrx 2:12.104-0ubuntu1 | 07:11 |
| MCR_ | ii fglrx-dev 2:12.100~beta7-0ubuntu1~xedgers~raring1 | 07:12 |
| MCR_ | it is the latest beta fglrx AFAIR | 07:12 |
| ricotz | MCR_, could you try fglrx-13 ? | 07:12 |
| MCR_ | I still use the latest beta driver, because the release driver was making problems last time I tried | 07:13 |
| MCR_ | but I'll try some other fglrx versions | 07:13 |
| ricotz | (it is weird that you have different versions of fglrx/fglrx-dev) | 07:13 |
| MCR_ | I installed the beta manually... | 07:13 |
| MCR_ | I guess the dev version is from the PPA | 07:14 |
| ricotz | ok, if you want beta7 then you dont currently have it | 07:14 |
| MCR_ | maybe it helps to remove the -dev completely | 07:14 |
| MCR_ | woot ? | 07:14 |
| ricotz | pick a consistent combination https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=fglrx&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=raring | 07:16 |
| MCR_ | maybe the version just shows up wrong, I am sure I have installed the beta driver from the AMD page, but thanks I'll try some things... | 07:16 |
| ricotz | MCR_, you manually installed the driver? | 07:17 |
| MCR_ | ricotz, yes | 07:17 |
| ricotz | ah you mean to build the deb out of the installer? | 07:17 |
| MCR_ | sh ./AMD-driver-installer-from-AMD.sh --buildandinstallpkg Ubuntu/raring | 07:18 |
| ricotz | ok, this is kind of unsupported then imo | 07:18 |
| MCR_ | ah, maybe that is the problem | 07:18 |
| MCR_ | I have this driver running for several months with xorg-edgers PPA together without any problems up to yesterday | 07:19 |
| ricotz | MCR_, did you say in the past that you are using the fglrx packages from xedgers? | 07:20 |
| MCR_ | I certainly did, but then some time I could not reach you and it was a bit outdated in the PPA or so (I do not remember exactly) | 07:21 |
| MCR_ | then I installed the one from AMD directly | 07:21 |
| ricotz | ok, you better revert your setup to the official raring package then, and go from there fixing it | 07:23 |
| MCR_ | ricotz, thanks 4 your time - AMD and their versioning -> everything is called differently | 07:24 |
| ricotz | MCR_, what is the lasted fglrx driver? | 07:27 |
| MCR_ | ricotz, haha -> that is a really good qu | 07:27 |
| ricotz | their versioning is really messed up | 07:27 |
| MCR_ | I just know that I used the latest beta, then 12.6 ? came out (the one with buffer_age support) | 07:28 |
| ricotz | 13.6 beta > 13.101 | 07:28 |
| MCR_ | I tried it, but it was reaaaaally slow | 07:28 |
| ricotz | 13.10 > 13.100 (internal version) | 07:28 |
| MCR_ | then I switched back to the latest beta, which still was older than the regular driver they released | 07:29 |
| MCR_ | also directly from AMD | 07:29 |
| ricotz | amd-driver-installer-13.10-x86.x86_64.run (of 5th june) | 07:29 |
| MCR_ | (I had to remove the stupid beta branding again) | 07:29 |
| MCR_ | which I already have a script in my main home dir for... ;) | 07:29 |
| MCR_ | I'll try fglrx-13 now | 07:30 |
| ricotz | fglrx-13 is (13.6 beta > 13.101) | 07:30 |
| MCR_ | I have overclocked my GPU also, that is why I try to not change the driver too often... | 07:30 |
| ricotz | (but the 13.10 release is newer of course) | 07:30 |
| MCR_ | I'll try fglrx-13 from the PPA ? | 07:31 |
| MCR_ | or is that a bad idea | 07:31 |
| MCR_ | which is the latest supported by xorg-edgers ? | 07:32 |
| ricotz | fglrx-installer-13 - 2:13.101~beta-0ubuntu1~xedgers~raring1 (13.6 beta) | 07:32 |
| ricotz | good luck for now, i need to go | 07:33 |
| MCR_ | ok, cool -> should be the same I am running now (without buffer_age support AFAIR) -> Thanks 4 your help, ricotz ! | 07:33 |
| MCR_ | ricotz, just FYI: fglrx-13 is a catastrophe, a disaster on my hardware, slow as sh*t (on 6950 at least) | 07:41 |
| MCR_ | and with the same OpenGL gfx problems :( | 07:42 |
| MCR_ | ricotz, just FYI: tested latest beta from AMD directly (==fglrx-13 from the PPA) -> slow and buggy also, but EZoom works much better than with the one from PPA, although it should be the same ?! | 07:56 |
| MCR_ | Unigine valley runs slow at around 60% from the fps feeling, with the 12.x beta series I had over 1000 points in the benchmark, now 725 :( | 07:58 |
| MCR_ | I guess the only solution for me is to purge xorg-edgers PPA and use 12.x beta again... | 07:59 |
| MCR_ | I cannot stand slow 3d gfx, especially when it is that ugly, slow and broken on higher-end hardware. Inacceptable 4 me. | 08:01 |
| MCR_ | back with ultra-high performance and without bugs, on fglrx 12.11-beta and with purged xorg-edgers PPA on R | 08:29 |
| MCR_ | Valley Score: 1117 :) | 08:35 |
