[Bug 770653] New: Can't disable Composite extension
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770653 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770653#c0 Summary: Can't disable Composite extension Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jdelvare@suse.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: Community User Blocker: --- As I am again experiencing slow desktop switching as reported in bug #411587, I wanted to disable the Composite extension as suggested as a workaround for the issue in that bug. So I created file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-custom.conf with the following contents: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection Unfortunately it seems to have no effect. In /var/log/Xorg.0.log I found: [ 30.482] (**) Extension "Composite" is disabled ... [ 31.055] (II) Initializing built-in extension COMPOSITE So apparently the configuration statement is properly parsed and understood, but it is then ignored. A quick test on a different machine running openSUSE 12.1 led to the same conclusion. Is it no longer possible to disable the Composite extension? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Maybe it's loaded by another extension, which requires it.

You can verify with xdpyinfo. The log message actually means that the built-in extension was added to internal list of loaded extensions. (Equivalent to loading *.so file of a module.) And it's Setup procedure is called if there is any. (The internal "module" of Composite extension doesn't have any Setup procedure.) If the Composite extension is disabled, it's Init procedure is never called and so it never registers itself to the existing screens. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks for pointing out xdpyinfo, I tend to forget about that command. So, the only issue here is simply a misleading message in Xorg.0.log. Adjusting bug summary accordingly. Can we change the "Initializing built-in extension Foo" messages to be only printed for non-disabled extensions? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Feel free to reopen, if the issue still exists with openSUSE 12.3.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770653 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770653#c5 --- Comment #5 from Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.com> 2013-03-05 17:51:28 UTC --- In openSUSE 12.3, attempting to disable the Composite extension results in the following log file messages: [ 40.112] (**) Extension "Composite" is disabled (...) [ 40.115] Initializing built-in extension COMPOSITE (...) [ 40.298] (II) EXA(0): Driver registered support for the following operations: [ 40.298] (II) Solid [ 40.298] (II) Copy [ 40.298] (II) Composite (RENDER acceleration) [ 40.298] (II) UploadToScreen [ 40.298] (II) DownloadFromScreen So I'd say the bug is still present. That being said, it seems that bug #411587 is meanwhile gone again, so I no longer care, plus I no longer have any test case to check whether Composite is actually enabled or not. As I also understand that you have much more important bugs to work on, I'm fine leaving this one closed unfixed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

JFYI, this was a mass bug handling action, so I couldn't look into each issue ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
