[06:53] <MCR_> Sarvatt, hi - are you here ?
[06:54] <MCR_> Sarvatt, ricotz (hi, btw): Yesterday's update of xorg-edgers PPA on Raring breaks multiple Compiz plugins...
[06:56] <ricotz> MCR_, i guess you are suspecting the mesa update then?
[06:57] <MCR_> Yeah :(
[06:57] <MCR_> ricotz, it is quite bad this time
[06:58] <ricotz> MCR_, i see, you want to give some more information then
[07:01] <MCR_> ricotz, EZoom mouse cursor zooming is broken and the cube looks completely weird...
[07:02] <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
[07:03] <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
[07:04] <ricotz> would be better if you track down the actual package which broke things
[07:04] <MCR_> ok
[07:05] <ricotz> since while you are using fglrx it doesnt make much sense that xedgers broke it with the recent updates
[07:06] <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
[07:07] <MCR_> today's update (libdrm) has fixed it up a bit and ezoom is fast again, but the cursor zooming is broken
[07:08] <MCR_> what parts of x is fglrx utilizing ?
[07:09] <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
[07:10] <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"
[07:11] <MCR_> ii  fglrx                                         2:12.104-0ubuntu1
[07:12] <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 ?
[07:13] <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...
[07:14] <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 ?
[07:16] <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...
[07:17] <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?
[07:18] <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
[07:19] <MCR_> I have this driver running for several months with xorg-edgers PPA together without any problems up to yesterday
[07:20] <ricotz> MCR_, did you say in the past that you are using the fglrx packages from xedgers?
[07:21] <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
[07:23] <ricotz> ok, you better revert your setup to the official raring package then, and go from there fixing it
[07:24] <MCR_> ricotz, thanks 4 your time - AMD and their versioning -> everything is called differently
[07:27] <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
[07:28] <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)
[07:29] <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... ;)
[07:30] <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)
[07:31] <MCR_> I'll try fglrx-13 from the PPA ?
[07:31] <MCR_> or is that a bad idea
[07:32] <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)
[07:33] <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  !
[07:41] <MCR_> ricotz, just FYI: fglrx-13 is a catastrophe, a disaster on my hardware, slow as sh*t (on 6950 at least)
[07:42] <MCR_> and with the same OpenGL gfx problems :(
[07:56] <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 ?!
[07:58] <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 :(
[07:59] <MCR_> I guess the only solution for me is to purge xorg-edgers PPA and use 12.x beta again...
[08:01] <MCR_> I cannot stand slow 3d gfx, especially when it is that ugly, slow and broken on higher-end hardware. Inacceptable 4 me.
[08:29] <MCR_> back with ultra-high performance and without bugs, on fglrx 12.11-beta and with purged xorg-edgers PPA on R
[08:35] <MCR_> Valley Score: 1117 :)
