Subject: xserver-xorg-video-ati: [radeon] images not scaled properly when using EXA

Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2008 19:15:47 -0500

Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.7.197-1
Severity: normal

Symptoms: after upgrading the xserver-xorg-video-ati package, some
images are not scaled properly.  For example, see
<http://icons.uhoreg.ca/corrupt-scaling.png>, compared to the screenshot
<http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Clear_Weather> (aside from the fact
that they had much better weather than I do).

If I downgrade to version 1:6.6.193-3, everything looks fine.  If I
switch to XAA mode instead of EXA, everything looks fine (but is very
slow).

I've tried version 1:6.7.198~git20080203.f65e8dfa-1 from experimental,
and it still exhibits the same problems.

Here is part of my xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY"
        Driver          "radeon"
        Option          "UseFBDev"              "false"
        Option          "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
        Option          "EnablePageFlip"        "on"
        Option          "AGPFastWrite"          "on"
        Option          "AccelMethod"           "EXA"
        Option          "DynamicClocks"         "on"
        Option          "BIOSHotkeys"           "on"
        Option          "BackingStore"          "true"
        Option          "ColorTiling"           "on"
        Option          "AccelDFS"              "on"
        Option          "CRT2Position"          "Clone"
        Option          "Monitor-LVDS"          "Internal Panel"
        Option          "Monitor-VGA"           "External VGA"
EndSection

Background: the ClearWeather screenlet uses cairo to draw some PNG
files.  I assume that cairo is using the render extension to scale the
images to the correct size, but the driver isn't scaling things
properly.

I also see the problem in other programs, such as skippy-xd.

Let me know if you need more information.

Can you try 1:6.8.0-1 which entered unstable very recently ?

If it does not help, please send the corresponding Xorg.0.log.



By the way, you have some useless/not-recommended options in your
xorg.conf, see below.

Does not exist anymore.

Maybe ignored...

May be dangerous, if you experience some lockups, you should try without
them...

Not sure it works nowadays, you might to remove this.

Probably ignored nowadays, RandR-1.2 is better.

Ugh.  It's even worse. :(  Pretty much everything on-screen gets
corrupted.

See <http://icons.uhoreg.ca/corrupted-screenlets.png>, compared with
<http://icons.uhoreg.ca/screenlets.png>

By the way, those two screenshots were taken with 'Option "RenderAccel"
"off"', which fixes the scaling issue.  So it seems that my guess is
correct, in that it's a bug in the Render acceleration.

> If it does not help, please send the corresponding Xorg.0.log.

I've attached the log, from 1:6.8.0-1.  Except that I think that I took
that log from when I had RenderAccel set to "off", but maybe it will
help debugging the other corruption.

I'll try to send a log with RenderAccel "on".

Yeah, but I was too lazy to weed through which ones were still current,
and they didn't seem to be causing any problems yet...

Some Render acceleration support has been added to the driver recently.
It might explain things.

I'm afraid we can't continue until you try without them. In particular,
backing store is known to be broken in all released versions of X.Org.

Did you try with 1:6.8.0-1 as I requested? It has been in unstable for a
week or so. Please send the log from 6.8.0.

Interesting. Does the problem go away if you disable compositing stuff
(or use another WM)?

Done.  Same problem with the bad image scaling.  It appears that the
screen corruption issue that I mentioned in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=467235#15 was due to
AccelDFS (although it seemed to work in previous versions).

Oh, FWIW, I'm using xfwm4 with the compositing manager enabled.

Are you referring to the screen corruption problem, or the image
scaling problem?  I don't know about the image scaling problem.  I can
give it a try the next time I log out and log back in.

For the screen corruption problem, there seemed to be some strange
things happening in gdm with AccelDFS enabled (the black text when I
entered my username/password showed up as green instead of black), so I
assume that there's still some bug somewhere.

(Again, the AccelDFS bug seems to have popped up in 1:6.8.0, and the
image scaling problem appeared in 1:6.7.?  Although I do vaguely
remember some corruption occurring in 1:6.7.? with compositing
disabled.)

I meant the image scaling. Yes, please give it a try.

By the way, there's a new xserver-xorg-video-ati snapshot entering
experimental very soon (1:6.8.1~git20080310.38606b08-1).

I still have the image scaling problem when I disable compositing in
xfwm4.

Is the same AGP mode being used in all cases?

I have tested with AGPFastWrite set to both on and off, and it seems
like only AccelDFS makes a difference to the screen corruption issue. I
don't see any other AGP options in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

The default value of Option "AGPMode" may be different between versions.

Indeed.  My log from 1:6.7.x says: "Using AGP 1x", while my log from
1:6.8.0 says: "Using AGP 4x".

OK, I shall try with AGPMode "1" the next time I log out, and report
back.

Yes, if I have 'Option AGPMode "1"', then I do not have the screen
corruption problem, even with AccelDFS enabled.  So it seems that the
screen corruption problem occurs when both AccelDFS is enabled, and
AGPMode is something other than "1".

Does
    Option "EXANoComposite"
help ?

Yes, if I add
    Option "EXANoComposite" "true"
and comment out
    Option "RenderAccel" "off"
things seem to work properly, AFAICT.

Yes, these both have basically the same effect with EXA.

Have you been able to try a newer version of the driver? FWIW, I can't
reproduce the problem using current upstream development snapshots of
the driver and X server, though this is using an R300 generation card,
so there may still be a problem with your generation card.

I upgraded to version 1:6.8.191-1 and everything seems to work fine
now.  It even fixed some rendering bugs that I was seeing in Iceweasel
3.  Closing this bug now.
