Description Elad Alfassa 2014-02-18 23:52:37 UTC
some games, which worked in F19, no longer work in F20 -  they just show a black window. When updating mesa packages using sudo dnf info mesa-dri-drivers --enablerepo=rawhide, those games work again.

My GPU is Radeon 7770.

I consider this a regression, and since the fix is in rawhide already, I wonder, would backporting it to F20 be feasible?

I'm willing to provide developers who want to fix this bug with keys (or send them as a gift on Steam) to any the affected games (Proteus, Kerbal Space Program, Jazzpunk, Dust: An Elysian Tail, FEZ and more)

(note: I'm not sure if FEZ is affected, but I have a solid reason to believe it is, because this bug seems to affect mono based games and FEZ is based on mono)

This bug is important to me because it means people with this GPU (or GPUs form the same series) can't play games without updating to unstable rawhide. I personally don't like running a mix of rawhide & non rawhide packages.

Comment 1 Igor Gnatenko 2014-02-19 04:02:57 UTC
Hi,

what you mean about not working ? crashing, artefacting or what?

If we can find which patch fixes problem - I will contact with upstream and we will cherry-pick this patch to 9.x.

We can't merge mesa 10.[ to the f20, because there needed new xorg stack and 10.x in some cases really unstable.

Comment 2 Igor Gnatenko 2014-02-19 04:15:52 UTC
In the F19 we have mesa-9.2.4, but in the F20 we have mesa-9.2.5....
All commits between... Are you sure that you have no bugs with 9.2.4 ?

Comment 3 Elad Alfassa 2014-02-19 06:45:55 UTC
Not working in this case means black screen on startup. I dont know if they woek on current f19. They worked on F19 few months ago. I lack the exact details cause I did not have Fedora on that machinefor the last 4 months or morr.

I also need to test if the same issue happens on a fresh f20 with no updates installed, to try and nail down exactly when this regression occurred. 

I will also use apitrace to find what the games are doing when they freeze on a blank window. If you want to debug it yourself too, I can email you a download key for one of the affected games.

Comment 4 Igor Gnatenko 2014-02-19 07:13:54 UTC
have you tried build from comment #2 ?

sounds good.

Comment 5 Elad Alfassa 2014-02-19 19:20:19 UTC
Created attachment 865184 [details]
Kerbal apitrace

I tried this build, same issue.

Now trying F20 and F19 Live CDs to try and see when it broke.

Attached is an apitrace of Kerbal Space Program.
I wanted to do a trace of something simpler, but apparently tracing 32bit apps in apitrace is impossible, and Kerbal is the only game I had which has a 64bit executable.

Comment 6 Elad Alfassa 2014-02-19 20:03:13 UTC
I can't boot 32bit Fedora livecds on this machine for some reason (and I can't test with 64bit because steam needs 32bit and installing them using yum on the live environment won't work because yum will fetch the newest versions, and what we want to test are the older versions).

Do you have any ideas on how to debug this without running 32bit fedora live?

Also, if you want me to send you a game key so you can debug this, just let me know which game(s) you want.

please take a look at the AutoQA messages

http://autoqa.fedoraproject.org/results/768584-autotest/virt09.qa/depcheck/results/mesa-10.0.3-1.201402.html

there are packages which needs a rebuild too
i upgraded today my both workstations (SandyBrdige/IvyBdrige) with Intel graphics and gave positive karma because all is fine on KDE with desktop effects, but there are for sure users with not that sripped down installs

[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ rpm -qa | wc -l

Yeah. I've noticed about this. I'll ask airlied for rebuilding vmware driver
