Description Edney Matias 2008-10-09 18:25:54 UTC
Description of problem: I used to play urbanterror on my Dell Vostro 1400. It's not a hardware proper to gameplay but it used to do well. But I saw the performance drop in the last two releases of xorg to miserable 3 FPS. I don't know how to search for evidences where the problem is, so i'm registering against xorg. Maybe it's related to the absence of the xorg.conf file. Maybe some option that used to be set to my video card driver is no more set in the default config. I'm willing to gather the information needed to help isolate the problem.

How reproducible: always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install Fedora 10;
2. run urbanterror;
3. start an online game;
  
Actual results: The FPS drops to 3, and the sound clicks. On Fedora 9, the sound used to click, but the FPS was good, near 25, sometimes 30, never 3. Now i have lag on sound and poor FPS on Fedora 10.


Expected results: Clear sound, without clicks or ticks and FPS near 30, as it used to be.


Additional info: glxinfo shows directing rendering is active. Running KDE 4 without compositing. I had experienced this behavior on others distros whenever i use a xorg without xorg.conf.

is there anything else i must attacht that would be of value?

Comment 3 Edney Matias 2008-10-12 19:27:07 UTC
I did one simple test. I copy xorg.conf from Fedora 9 and put on /etc/X11 of Fedora 10, started the game and no success. Then I started Fedora 9 and launched the game, worked like a charm or I played at least (25 FPS). So I think the problem isn't related to the absence of xorg.conf. Anyway I'm attaching the xorg.conf from Fedora 9.

Just in case.

Comment 10 Rex Dieter 2008-10-16 18:48:57 UTC
I too am seeing a big hit on compositing performance on i945 upgrading from F9-> rawhide (as of today, Oct 16).

Comment 11 Jon Nettleton 2008-10-21 02:09:07 UTC
Can you guys try xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.4.2-1.fc10 from koji.  That version fixes some of my opengl performance problems.  I am trying to track down the problem and the info could help.

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 03:43:09 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 13 Vedran Miletić 2009-11-05 23:11:30 UTC
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, including Intel driver, which may have resolved this issue.
To be more precise, Intel has undergone a major rewrite during Fedora 10, 11 and 12 cycles, and whole driver is working a lot better now. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to retry with at least Fedora 12 Beta and see if the issue is still relevant.

Please, if you experience this problem on Fedora 12 Beta or up-to-date system running Rawhide, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

We hope to see how many older bugs in Intel driver are still relevant today, in hope that most of them were fixed in rewrite process.

[This is a bulk message for all open Fedora 10 i810-related bugs (39 of them are still open). I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]

Comment 14 Edney Matias 2009-11-06 02:08:14 UTC
No i don't see this problem anymore. But i'm having one issue that acording to the documentation i found is related to intel driver. I didn't do a very compreensive search, chances that i'm wrong. 

It's related to suspend/resume not working as expected, the computer seems to come back from suspend state, but in some case keyboard is not working, neither mouse. And now after the last kernel update the screen is always black 
after a resume. 

Other thing i noted is when alternating between the graphical mode and the cosole, i can't get back to graphical mode, all is black. 

I already opened a bug report about the keyboard and mouse, here it is 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529986. And here are the bug and the doc that made me relate the black screen with the intel driver, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473542
and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_kernel_problems#Suspend.2FResume_to_RAM_failure. 

I'm attaching the dmesg output while runing pm-suspend and resuming my Dell Vostro 1400. The kernel version i'm using is 2.6.31.5-117.fc12.i686.PAE. Anything else i can do? 

Thank you.

Comment 16 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 08:32:53 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  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 '10'.

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 10'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 10 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 17 Vedran Miletić 2009-12-04 17:56:38 UTC
Thank you for your bug report.

We are sorry, but the Fedora Project is will soon stop longer releasing bug fixes or any other updates for this version of Fedora. There were so many changes between Fedora 10 and Fedora 12 in Intel driver and X.Org that it's very likely that this bug is fixed. This bug will be set to CLOSED:WONTFIX to reflect this, but please reopen it if the problem persists after upgrading to the latest version of Fedora (version 12), which is available from:

http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora
