2008-07-23 17:31:24 Lucas Dixon description Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 sun-java6-jre: Installed: 6-06-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 6-06-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 6-06-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/multiverse Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Updated 22 July, 08. Bug has been present since release of Ubuntu 8.04. Graphics/animation in java are often horribly slow. This is not the case on Ubuntu 7.X, or earlier versions. It also not the case on other distributions. Attached is an example java program. On distributions with work java, the icon moves to the location of the mouse smoothly. On Ubuntu 8.04 it moves jerkily and slowly. (to run example java program in the attachment, simply run the shell script "foo"). The result is that Xorg uses 100% of CPU. The has severe problems for use of processing (www.processing.org) as well as many other java based programs and thus webpages. I suspect this may be the culprit for several other misunderstood java related bugs. This happens with other versions of Java (openjdk as well as java5), so I suspect the bug is in some library that java is talking to, maybe xulrunner. Ubuntu 8.04.1 on Lenova T60p ...$ uname -a Linux luki 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux Updated 22 July, 08 ...$ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5200] The problem happens with java5 as well as java6. The problem happens with fglx as well as with the standard (unaccelerated) driver sun-java6-jre: Installed: 6-06-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 6-06-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 6-06-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/multiverse Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Bug has been present since release of Ubuntu 8.04.

I got this tested on a friends machine, using intel graphics card (Intel Mobile GM965/GL960) and the same version of ubuntu and java - it did not show the same bug. So it may be something to do with ATI and X.

Attached is an example java program - on distributions with working java, the icon moves to the location of the mouse smoothly. On Ubuntu 8.04, on my T60p, it moves jerkily and slowly; I get aprox 1 frame every second, where on working machines it's as much as 60. (to run example java program in the attachment, simply run the shell script "foo"). Looking at "top" output shows that Xorg uses 100% of CPU.

Graphics/animation in java are often horribly slow (depends on application, but is consistent). This is not the case on Ubuntu 7.X, or earlier versions. It also not the case on other distributions.

On distributions with working java, the icon moves to the location of the mouse smoothly. On Ubuntu 8.04, on my T60p, it moves jerkily and slowly; I get aprox 1 frame every couple of seconds; on working machines it's as much as 60. (to run the example java program in the attachment, simply run the shell script "foo"). Looking at "top" output shows that Xorg uses 100% of CPU. This causes severe problems for use of processing (www.processing.org) as well as many other java based programs and thus also webpages.
