I am cloning this bug to reopen the issue since I can reproduce it with the nouveau driver by disabling KMS. Geforce 8600GTS then we don't care very much, as UMS is on the deprecation train. but this is therefore likely related to upstream https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25136 ... (next time you do this, please don't clone all the comments, it makes a horrible mess.) -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Sorry, but you should not tell your users (and free testers at the same time) that you do not care much about their problems. We are using UMS for a reason. For a record, I use nomodeset (i.e. UMS), too, and only under UMS the KDE delay is experienced. But I have a little choice: The KMS on nouveau is not yet _there_. Under KMS the text on the screen is looking like distorted gibberish, beyond recognition. The only way for me to use F12 is to go with UMS for time being. we care about the problem you have with KMS more than the problem you have with UMS, is the point :) -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Created attachment 372790 [details] one proposed fix from nvidia Here's a scratch build containing the aforementioned patch, http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1821848 The build of from #5 does work for me. The speeds are oke again (although desktop effects can't be enabled, which could be totally unrelated anyways). Tested the rpms from the scratch build: xorg-x11-server-common-1.7.1-7.fc12.2.rex.x86_64.rpm xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.1-7.fc12.2.rex.x86_64.rpm I am happy user again :-) The annoying delay under UMS is no more. F11 speed was restored. Thank you. As for the image distortion under KMS, I have created another Bug #539975. No delay with this builds of xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-common-1.7.1-7.fc12.2.rex.i686 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.1-7.fc12.2.rex.i686 I am using this nvidia drivers: kmod-nvidia-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE-190.42-1.fc12.4.i686 kmod-nvidia-PAE-190.42-1.fc12.4.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-190.42-2.fc12.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-190.42-2.fc12.i686 anyone using the proprietary driver please post on the ORIGINAL bug, #533620, not here. Thanks. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers To recap, for clarity (posting this to all three bugs): we have three bugs for this issue at present, as they manifested with different drivers and hardware. Bug #533620 is the initial bug, considered to refer to using the NVIDIA proprietary driver. Bug #538836 is for a case affecting users of the 'radeon' driver for ATI/AMD cards in a dual-head configuration. And Bug #539768 is for a case affecting the free 'nouveau' driver for NVIDIA hardware with kernel modesetting disabled. If the proposed scratch build appears to fix all three types, I'll re-combine them into bug 533620, as it would then be considered a bug in the X server addressed by the proposed patch in the scratch build (from NVIDIA). Thanks! -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers I can confirm that the Koji builds seem to correct the nouveau+UMS case since the initial reporter of this offshoot says the scratch build works, let's merge this one back into 533620. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 533620 *** |
