THX Alf -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - Binary package hint: fglrx [Environment] * You are using fglrx restricted driver from Ubuntu repository or download the linux driver from AMD ATI website (fglrx version <= 8.723.1-0ubuntu3). * If your ATI card is listed in the following pdf, then your desktop behaviours will most likely be affected the 'bugs' listed in [Symptoms] section. https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/catalyst_102_linux.pdf * GNOME and KDE SC 4. * Compositing desktop is enabled (Compiz and KWIN). [Symptoms] * Window Management: Unminimizing, Maximising, Full-Screening, Resizing windows and Switching windows (Alt+Tab) will noticably freeze the screen for about 1 second plus. Your mileage might vary. * Memory (RAM) Management: Secondary problem you might notice is memory leak and/or memory-clearing problem (http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21471). - - [Workarounds] - * Window Management: - - Using PPA (Lucid Only) by Bryce Harrington (not up-to-date as of time of writing) - PPA address @ https://edge.launchpad.net/~bryceharrington/+archive/violet - In terminal, 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bryceharrington/violet' then install the update and reboot. - - Other PPAs: - + Alf Gaida (Lucid): https://launchpad.net/~info-g-com/+archive/xserver-xorg-1.7.6-gc - 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:info-g-com/xserver-xorg-1.7.6-gc' - - - Compile your own packages - when the ppa is not updated fast enough (or you are an update-freak like me) - + You need to tick 'Source Code' option in Synaptic Repositories or add relevant source code repo (deb-src) if you are using ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates. - + Building instruction: - sudo apt-get build-dep xorg-server - sudo apt-get install devscripts - apt-get source xorg-server - cd xorg-server-* - wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/45103003/xserver-xorg-backclear.patch - patch -p1 < xserver-xorg-backclear.patch - dch -l local 'Backclear Patch' - debuild -us -uc - cd .. - sudo dpkg --install xserver-xorg-core*.deb - sudo dpkg --install xserver-common*.deb - - * Memory (RAM) Management: - - In terminal, run 'glxinfo' command or invoke 'glxgears' to release the 'uncleared' memory. You might need 'mesa-utils' package installed. - - Create a bash script to run at start up - #!/bin/sh - while [ 1 ] - do - glxinfo - sleep 60 - done - - [My Suggested Comment Guidelines - subjected to change] - * Keep it civil. - * Subscribe to the bug and click on the (!) icon on top 'This bug affects you and x other people' instead of comment like 'it affects me too'. - * Help test the patch for potential regression as requested by Bryce Harrington: - "A. What we need is solid proof of the following: - - 1. No visible regression on -intel with compiz turned on - 2. No visible regression on -ati with compiz turned on - 3. No visible regression on -nouveau with compiz turned on - 4. No visible regression on -nvidia with compiz turned on - 5. No visible regression on at least one video driver with kde kwin desktop effects turned on. - - Alternatively, I could accept either of the following: - - B. Rejigger the patch so its logic is only enabled when the fglrx - driver is loaded - - C. Forward the patch upstream to Debian or bugs.freedesktop.org and get it accepted into the upstream xserver, from which we can pull a cherrypick patch. - "
