Description Ralf Ertzinger 2007-09-20 17:57:46 UTC
Description of problem:
Hardware:
Intel 945GM chipset, intel driver. 3D in general works (glxgears, compiz,
neverball....)

GoogleEarth, however, fails to use 3D acceleration.
Starting it prints the following to the console:
do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try running with LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH and LIBL_SYNC_REFRESH unset.

The kernel logs the following:
[drm:i915_vblank_swap] *ERROR* Invalid pipe 1


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-PAE-2.6.23-0.185.rc6.git7.fc8
xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.1.1-3.fc8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start google earth on the above system
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Above warning at the console and the kernel log, GE is very slow.

Expected results:
"normal" 3d speed

Can you try the rpms here:

They incorporate a possible fix.

cheers, Kyle

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

I'm still seeing this with F9 and xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.2.1-24.fc9.x86_64. I get
these at startup:

continuity> googleearth 
Failed to initialize TTM buffer manager.  Falling back to classic.
do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try running with LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH and LIBL_SYNC_REFRESH unset.
^C
continuity> 

I don't get any dmesg kernel warnings though. Same bug?

Comment 4 Jens Lautenbacher 2008-06-15 21:34:41 UTC
I have the same problem here with Fedora 9 and the intel driver (everything up
to date). Google earth is unusably slow, other 3D stuff works...


Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 22:51:20 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 14:57:02 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
