Description Baif 2010-11-19 10:43:35 UTC
Description of problem:

3D Acceleration Doesn't work like it works on F13 (ATI).
On F13, glxgears show 400~500FPs, but it run only 40~50FPs.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686

How reproducible:
On F14, glxgear

  
Actual results:
40~50FPS

Expected results:
400~500FPS on F13

Additional info:
I can see lots of bugs about the same problem for different drives with F14.

Comment 1 Baif 2010-11-20 18:19:50 UTC
A very old laptop with ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M, it works like a jet with F13...

Now it doesn't work quit well with F14, 50 Fps with glxgears, and no KDE
Desktop Effects at all.

Any one has account on freedesktop, please kindly help file this bug to MESA.
Thanks!!!

Comment 4 Dave Airlie 2010-12-07 02:29:53 UTC
does vblank_mode=0 glxgears make them any faster?

Comment 5 Baif 2010-12-07 02:45:04 UTC
I'll try to get the result for you as soon as possible. Can you tell me how to disable vsync for X, or is there any utility like dirconf?


Thanks for your time!

Comment 6 Dave Airlie 2010-12-07 08:58:04 UTC
well vblank_mode=0 should disable it for the 3D app you run, as a good test,

I also suspect KDE is doing some thing it didn't use to by default, can you disable Blur if you can find it.

Comment 7 Baif 2010-12-13 03:35:58 UTC
hopefully Blur isn't the problem. And it might not be. Because the content of glxgears windows totally crapped with the Gallium driver, whether I enable desktop effect or not.

And BTW, the result of glxgears if under exception whether I enable desktop effect or not, on F14.

Comment 8 Baif 2010-12-23 03:17:44 UTC
1. vblank_mod=0 glxgears: not faster
2. KDE desktop effect with OPENGL, enable or not Vsync, no effect with glxgears
3. Disable Blur double the glxgears result, to around 60 fps.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 18:25:23 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
