[Bug 24391] New: VRAM unused by Radeonhd; lacking scratch space; OOe corrupted
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24391 Summary: VRAM unused by Radeonhd; lacking scratch space; OOe corrupted Product: xorg Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Driver/radeonhd AssignedTo: lverhaegen@suse.de ReportedBy: stens@powertech.no QAContact: xorg-team@lists.x.org Created an attachment (id=30156) --> (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=30156) Xorg.0.log M/B+CPU: Asus P6T Deluxe V2 (Intel M58) + Intel Core i7 920 Card: MSI Radeon HD 4850 - RV770 Archlinux; kernel 2.6.30-ARCH X.org X server v1.6.3.901 (1.6.4 RC 1) Radeonhd v1.2.5.1 Row and column lines in OpenOffice.org Calc disappear. They get (re-)painted if I scroll slowly by pressing the slider arrow, but get worse (disappear in bigger areas) if I just pull/drag the slider with the mouse. The problem is more pronounced in bigger than in smaller spreadsheet documents. I have not noticed any corruption in other apps or on the desktop. I note two disconcerting messages in Xorg.0.log: 1. (II) RADEONHD(0): The detected amount of videoram exceeds the PCI BAR aperture. (II) RADEONHD(0): Using only 262144kB of the total 1048576kB. (--) RADEONHD(0): VideoRAM: 262144 kByte 2. (WW) RADEONHD(0): rhdAtomAllocateFbScratch: FW FB scratch area not located at the end of VRAM. Scratch End: 0x104fec VRAM End: 0x10000000 (II) RADEONHD(0): Cannot get VRAM scratch space. Allocating in main memory instead The two messages might explain the problem(?). If not, they are bugs in their own right, as it were. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

Those messages are irrelevant, only informational and certainly not related to your problem. Are you saying the lines disappear when you scroll fast but not when you scroll slow? Acceleration is still somewhat experimental for this chip, to verify that it's this, try to disable it. Either use Option "NoAccel" in the device section or prevent the drm module from being loaded. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

I will try both and come back to you. What I am seeing is that there are areas with no lines when I open a spreadsheet; i.e. there are areas where the lines are gone before I touch the sheet. Scrolling slowly out from, and then into these areas again, makes the lines appear as normal. Scrolling fast out and back can have the same repairing effect in a very small sheet, but in a bigger sheet of from 1.4 to 10 MiB, scrolling fast increases the corruption. By scrolling fast I mean moving the sliders themselves with the mouse, not pressing the slider arrows with the mouse. As to the messages being irrelevant to the spreadsheet problem, I have tried to search for some of the words in those messages, but not found any bug reports about them. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

Known issue with one of the acceleration primitives in r6xx. See bug #21561 and #21855.
OK, thanks. I tried to look for something similar, bu I am apparently not sufficiently technically proficient. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

Commenting Load "drm" --> no difference, no improvement. Uncommenting Option "NoAccel" --> the problem disappears, but at the cost of much slower repaint and losing my mplayer video playback. Doing both --> same result as with uncommenting Option "NoAccel". Guess my best option for now is to accept the disappearing grid/cells. I enclose my xorg.conf. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
