(xorg-edgers) Compiz broken on radeon mobility

[EricDHH]

Binary package hint: compiz

Description: Ubuntu natty (development branch)
Release: 11.04

I updated my thinkpad t42 to help debugging 11.04 for get a stable desktop in next april.

DRI is running fine with radeon kernel module and kms. Glxgears runs well with this driver

eric@calliope:~$ glxinfo | more

direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI

server glx extensions:

The unity desktop sessions comes up with the "sorry, you don't have 3d support" I get the gnome desktop after a few seconds, so fallback works well. In compiz the module unity depends on composite and this depends on opengl, so i get all 3 switched on. But then compiz is not starting anymore.

If you look at the glxinfo.txt attachment you can see the full output of glxinfo and see that compiz is quite right, you lack proper support for the GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap and are using the Software Rasterizer (check the renderer string). I don't know if this is a configuration issue on your system or a bug in the driver so I've reassigned to the radeon driver. Please run `apport-collect 686164` to collect any additional data needed for a complete report for the driver.

[Robert Hooker (sarvatt)]

We have switched to r300g by default in natty which requires KMS. Are you blocking KMS via a modprobe .conf? grep -R modeset /etc/modprobe.d/ to find out.

[Robert Hooker (sarvatt)]

Ah ok, the problem here is that you are using xorg-edgers which I haven't updated to handle the r300c DRI name used when UMS is used in natty so the fallback to classic mesa isn't working. That's to be expected at the moment, I have uploaded a new ati that doesn't include that logic but you will still get swrast and no compiz until you stop disabling KMS.

Lots of problems here, okay i found a radeon-kms blocker and have deleted it now.

Now there is no error box but something crash and the wallpaper with icons stays in hourglass forever.

I have to remove edgers or replace it with the natty packages. Tryin to do that.

[EricDHH (ericdhh)]

Yes now it is working, rollbacked every sarvatt package to the natty version and get the unity desktop. Looks a bit slower than unity 10.10 on thinkpad x41 with intel i915 but it is running. Thank you

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Okay thanks for confirming that. Since xorg-edgers is for testing, and not something we directly support, I'll close the bug out here.
