[Mostly SOLVED] Mesa-9 OpenGL Artifacts & Tarring

(Hum, probaly not the right place to post this. Mod's move if needed please, sorry...)

After the upgrade today, I had tarring of windows when moving them around. Worst of all, I had these white rectangular artifacts across the top of the screen, and sometimes the mouse cursor turned into a white artifact.

Hardware:
Thinkpad X230
CPU: i7-3520M
Intel Graphics: HD4000

Software:
KDE4
Compositing: OpenGL

Kernels tried:
3.5.6-1-grsec
3.6.1-2-grsec
And Arch default kernel
3.5.6-1

Upgrade that broke it... pacman.log

Re: [Mostly SOLVED] Mesa-9 OpenGL Artifacts & Tarring

I'm getting this too on my HD3000.

It seems that there is a specific section of the screen that is updated at a different rate from the others that spans from the top to about a 5th of the way down.  If I move a window while it spans the two areas it tears but if I move the window down, it does not tear.

Re: [Mostly SOLVED] Mesa-9 OpenGL Artifacts & Tarring

My display is fine:

Intel Pentium E6600 @ 3.06Ghz
Intel x4500 graphics

Xfce4
Compiz compositing.

System is fully up-to-date including the just released Linux 3.6.2.  64-bit.

Edit: pure systemd.

Yes, same here. It is that "about a 5th of the way down" line that it tears on.
In genoral everything seemed slowed down.
What about Artifacts, do you get them too?

I'd like to find where to submit a bug report. I really want this to be fixed by the next release.

I have an LVM setup, but no time to work on it. If the problem is there there next weekend, I'll do some test, rollback, test, rollback... to try and find the package that the problem is in. My guess... is xorg-server, intel-dri, mesa, or "all OpenGL suff".

I haven't seen any artifacts.  Only the tearing.

I'm using KDE/KWin with SNA.

Are you getting tearing or just other artifacts?

After doing more testing, it definitely looks like the top fifth of the screen is updating slower.

Adding Option "TearFree" "True" to Xorg fixes the tearing but then KWin is unusably slow with OpenGL effects and has strange flickering artifacts.  TearFree works fine with XRender.

Re: [Mostly SOLVED] Mesa-9 OpenGL Artifacts & Tarring

Chris Wilson released the xf86-video-intel 2.20.10 DDX driver this weekend and it fixes up a number of core graphics driver bugs, including issues for older generations of Intel integrated graphics hardware.

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n … px=MTIwNjg

In my case a workaround was to change  DefaultDepth in xorg.conf from 24 to 16.

Re: [Mostly SOLVED] Mesa-9 OpenGL Artifacts & Tarring

Cool, big thanks to damiarch for putting up the bug report. I added my comments to it.

I am kind of happy to see ATI guys have the same problem... like, I hope it gets fixed sooner because more people are affected.

Good to know I can go try just keeping the gl* and intel-dri stuff downgraded. I'll try to find time tonight to give it a shot.

There is also an upstream bug for KWin here.

Re: [Mostly SOLVED] Mesa-9 OpenGL Artifacts & Tarring

Yep, This solves the Artifacts problem

I just did a full upgrade. Then I downgraded just:

libglapi
libgl
intel-dri

To version 8.0.4-3

That solved the Artifacts, However the Tarring still persits in OpenGL mode.

BUT, now instead of the Tarring at the 2/5 of the way down the screen. The Tarring line moves slowly up the screen, then gets to the top and starts the the Tarring line at the bottom of the screen. It just keeps cycling up the screen like that.

I tried downgrading to:

mesa-8.0.4-3
ftgl-2.1.3rc5-3
glew-1.8.0-1
gtkglext-1.2.0-7
jasper-1.900.1-7

And removeing the new package glu-9.0.0-1

However, this seemed to have not effect. Same moving Tarring line.

Re: [Mostly SOLVED] Mesa-9 OpenGL Artifacts & Tarring

I've got a X4500MHD. I have updated my system and then downgraded those packages:
intel-dri -> 8.0.4-3
libegl -> 8.0.4-3
libgbm -> 8.0.4
libgl -> 8.0.4-3
libglapi -> 8.0.4-3
libgles -> 8.0.4-3
mesa -> 8.0.4-3
All seems fine now.

Re: [Mostly SOLVED] Mesa-9 OpenGL Artifacts & Tarring

Okay, with the new kdebase-workspace package that I guess the Arch guys have applied the patch to for GLX MSAA problem has fixed the Artifacts problem and the OpenGL KDE desktop is fast again.

However, there still is a Tarring line
