gtk-window-decorator corruption after resume from sleep

[Michael Gratton]

Binary package hint: compiz

Using compiz-gtk 0.3.6-1ubuntu7, I'm getting corrupted window borders/shadows when resuming from sleep (suspend-to-RAM). The corruption for goes away for individual windows, or for all of them if you restart gtk-window-decorator (e.g., by issuing: `gtk-window-decorator --replace &').

Computer: Thinkpad T43
Video card: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Radeon Mobility M300]
xserver-xorg: 7.2-0ubuntu5
xserver-xorg-video-ati: 6.6.3-2ubuntu3

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

That should read:

The corruption for goes away for individual windows /when you first focus them/, or...

[Martey Dodoo (martey)]

Can confirm. I also have a T43 (with the same video card) and the same versions of the compiz-gtk and xserver-xorg packages installed. The corruption does not happen after hibernation.

[Michael Gratton (mjog)]

This may be a problem with the window decorator apps themselves, as you only need to restart the runing decorator, not compiz itself. I.e. doing a:

  gtk-window-decorator --replace &

Makes the corruption go away for me.

This is on an IBM Thinkpad T43:

This is also reported as a bug in Ubuntu Fiesty: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/90740

There is also corruption in for example the small tooltip boxes of the menu bar. So I definitely need to restart compiz itself too. My guess is that some part of the video memory got corrupted during suspend. All reports I've seen so far where on radeons, so maybe this is a bug in the radeon driver...

Oh, yeah, I get that as well, but it also goes away if I restart the decorator.

Indeed, there was a bug in the radeon driver where it didn't mark textures in video RAM as clobbered when leaving the X server VT.

[Michel-tungstengraphics (michel-tungstengraphics)]

Should be fixed in xf86-video-ati git, please reopen if this still occurs with that.

[Michael Gratton (mjog)]

So this is actually a bug in the radeon driver. See the fdo bug for details, but they don't mention which bug # or patch that fixed it.

[Michael Gratton (mjog)]

Although this seems to be the patch here: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati.git;a=commit;h=4651d00b183cb498879d605c4b93cd3a0c63cb33

Any chance of getting it applied to the xserver-xorg-video-ati package?

[Travis Watkins (amaranth)]

Here is a debdiff to add this patch.

[Travis Watkins (amaranth)]

Err, should mention I don't own ATI hardware so I can't test this, need others to confirm if it fixes the problem.

[Travis Watkins (amaranth)]

Rejecting the compiz bug, this is a driver issue.

[Travis Watkins (amaranth)]

Oops, forgot to reset DEBEMAIL. New diff with correct name and email attached. Sorry for the spam guys. :)

[Michael Gratton (mjog)]

Just tried it then. Works like a charm, cheers!

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

fixed by this upload, thanks for testing!

[Tim Dijkstra (tim-famdijkstra)]

I verified this bug is indeed fixed in a recent version of the driver. I've tested the driver in debian `experimental' this has a version number 6.6.192-1

Hi all,

I'm using an LG LM-50a with:
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]
xserver-xorg: Version: 1:7.2-5ubuntu13
xserver-xorg-video-ati: Version: 1:6.7.195-1ubuntu2

This bug seemed to be around in March 2007, yet I still seem to be having the same
problem a year later. Was this patch applied to subsequent versions of the ATI driver?

[Edwin Winkler (swinkedy)]

I'm experiencing the same problem as Marco Vermeulen.
These are the packages:
ii xserver-xorg 1:7.2-5ubuntu13
ii xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.7.195-1ubuntu2

[cement_head (andorjkiss)]

yes, I'm having the exact same issue with Gutsy, same packages as EW and MV
