RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Bob Kozdemba 2011-02-14 22:11:35 UTC 
Created attachment 478723 [details]
test program (64-bit)

Description of problem:
Inside of virt-viewer, OpenGL output is corrupted as if the pixel format is incorrect. Happens on both 32 and 64-bit guests. If the video driver is changed to vga or vmvga, the problem improves but still exhibits corrupt rendering.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the virt-viewer on a running virtual machine
2. If not started, start the X Window system
3. Run the attached test program (./gltest) 
  
Actual results:
See attached file: gltest-bad.png

Expected results:
See attached file: gltest-good.png

Additional info:
64-bit executable is attached along with test source program.

Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-04 02:16:47 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 6 Daniel Berrangé 2011-06-30 16:08:10 UTC 
I can reproduce this problem, even with a Fedora guest. It occurs even with a regular VNC client, and also when using SPICE for graphics.  Thus I believe this is not a virt-viewer bug, but in fact a QEMU graphics/video bug.
Comment 7 Gerd Hoffmann 2011-07-07 16:20:45 UTC 
Which fedora release?  I see it working fine with a F15 guest.

Note that the virtual gfx cards have no 3D support so this has to be rendered by the guest in software, so this could be a software rendering bug and thus depend on the mesa version installed inside the guest.
Comment 8 Daniel Berrangé 2011-07-08 11:31:38 UTC 
I'm tested a F14 i686 guest

mesa-dri-drivers-7.9-1.fc14.i686
mesa-libGL-7.9-1.fc14.i686
mesa-libGLU-7.9-0.6.fc14.i686
mesa-libGL-devel-7.9-1.fc14.i686


And a F16 rawhide guest


mesa-libGLU-7.11-0.14.20110620.0.fc16.x86_64
mesa-dri-drivers-7.11-0.14.20110620.0.fc16.x86_64
mesa-libGL-7.11-0.15.20110620.0.fc16.x86_64
mesa-libGL-devel-7.11-0.15.20110620.0.fc16.x86_64
mesa-dri-filesystem-7.11-0.14.20110620.0.fc16.x86_64


In both cases the gltest program attached to this bug doesn't render correctly. I also just noticed that the standard glxgears has fubar rendering too.

NB, my host is actually a F15 x86_64 machine, not RHEL6, so I'm not testing exactly the same combo as the original reporter, but the results I get a similar to this screenshots
Comment 9 Gerd Hoffmann 2011-07-08 12:40:38 UTC 
More testing shows:

  -vga std renders ok
  -vga qxl renders ok
  -vga cirrus (which happens to be the default) is broken

So it is probably one of the cirrus ops which isn't emulated correctly (or a bug in the xorg cirrus driver).

The initial report mentions rendering bugs with std vga, can't reproduce those.
Comment 10 Daniel Berrangé 2011-07-08 12:52:13 UTC 
I can confirm that my tests showing problems from comment #8 were both done with Cirrus. Switching to the 'std' driver fixes the rendering, so my results concur with yours, looks like a Cirrus emulation/driver bug.
Comment 11 Gerd Hoffmann 2011-07-08 13:12:37 UTC 
Compiled qemu with cirrus debug enabled.  Nothing gets printed while running glxgears.  Looks like no cirrus ops are involved when blitting the gears to the screen.  Hmm.
Comment 12 Gerd Hoffmann 2011-07-08 14:07:15 UTC 
Ah, seems to depend on the color depth.
The xorg vesa driver runs with 16 bpp.
Forcing the xorg cirrus driver into 16 bpp fixes the rendering too.
So I guess software rendering is broken @ 24 bpp.

Assigning to xorg cirrus driver for further investigation.
Comment 13 Adam Jackson 2011-08-17 16:40:36 UTC 
This should be fixed in mesa-7.11-1.el6.
