Bug Description
The bug is active also in Freedesktop.org : https:/
[edit]
The bug seems to be fixed with a patch provided by Freedesktop.org team.
[/edit]
[edit]
This bug is caused by interrupts. They're not working. The solution for this problem is:
- To see if Ubuntu 10.04 (where all things worked well) used UMS instead of KMS.
- If Lucid used KMS, to bisect the kernel to see what change caused the problem.
[/edit]
[edit]
The bug description, updated:
The symptoms: No 3d acceleration (glxgears shows a black window, Unity doesn't start), *but* no fallback into the software-rendering mode (glxinfo reports that the 3d acceleration is working)
The hardware: ATI Radeon RS690M X1200 series
The version of Ubuntu: Ubuntu 11.04 (final release) [and Maverick also]. The behavior was also observed in Debian and Fedora 15, as noted below (so it seems not to be Ubuntu-specific).
The version of xserver-
The software affected: Compiz (doesn't start because requires direct rendering); then, Unity (just the wallpaper or black screen and the mouse pointer). glxgears, Stellarium, Blender, Adobe Flash Player in fullscreen mode and Visual module of Python work if software rendering is forced (but of course they run very very slow).
The history of the bug: all worked as expected (out of the box) in 10.04, but in 10.10 the problems started. The workaround was to disable KMS, but now, in Maverick, since the new Gallium driver doesn't have a non-KMS mode, that workaround is not available. This issue was reported when using 11.04 Beta 1 and Beta 2, then, in the descriptions below there are some strange things (xorg crash during startup, software rendering fallback), that don't occur any more. The issue is just the description given here.
The exceptions: **sometimes** (??) the 3d acceleration does work as expected, but at the moment there is no way for us to know when it will work or not [help please!]. And, sometimes the 3d acceleration work but is so slow that it seems to be actually software rendering.
The workarounds: `vblank_mode=0 glxgears` (or other program) gives correct 3d accelerated output. `export vblank_mode=0` also allows to start Compiz and 3d acceleration works after running that. That is just a workaround and the problem is not solved yet.

Binary package hint: xorg
I installed Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 1, and I'm not able to run Unity and Compiz, because I have no 3d acceleration. However, I was able to run Compiz once, the next time I booted, I don't know why, Compiz doesn't work. After several reboots, I see the following:
1. Sometimes (?), I have 3d acceleration via software rendering. When I run `glxinfo | grep render` I get:
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
GL_
And if I run `compiz --replace`, I get the following error:

2. Sometimes, I have direct 3d acceleration, but it's unusable. glxgears doesn't work (black window). Also, if I run compiz, I get a blank screen (no Unity, no windows, just the mouse pointer and the background image). In this case, if I run `glxinfo | grep render`, I get:
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RS690

So, I'm using the Gallium driver. I had a similar problem with Maverick and the radeon driver. I solved the problem turning off the Kernel Mode Setting (# echo options radeon modeset=0 > /etc/modprobe.

I see that this bug is closely related to Bug #715330 , but even if the symptoms are the same, I'm running the version of the Kernel that they say has the fix released, and also, I tried the workaround described on comment #17 and that doesn't solve my problem.
