Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 17.10 (artful) reached end-of-life on July 19, 2018.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it any more. But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed. ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722897 Title: Ubuntu Wayland seems to be allocating 2-3 framebuffer sized surfaces (more than Xorg) Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm fixing an issue with drm/vmwgfx on 17.10 Wayland desktop, and I'd like to chat with someone about how Ubuntu Wayland works. Specifically, when a VM is configured to have 4MB of GPU memory, we have trouble setting modes above 1024x768@32bpp even though there's technically enough GPU memory to handle the framebuffer. This does not happen with Ubuntu 17.10 Xorg desktop. From what I can see there are two things: 1. Ubuntu Wayland seems to be allocated 2-3 framebuffer sized surfaces. Is it doing triple-buffering? 2. For certain modes, e.g. 1360x768 and 800x600, the pitch coming into .create_fb is greater than mode->width * bytes-per-pixel. For instance, for 800x600@32bpp, the requested pitch is 3328 instead of 3200. These two behaviors is different from what we assumed for low memory configurations, and so is causing some issues.
