Description Bryce Harrington 2008-04-29 23:34:34 UTC

This is a bug reported by a Ubuntu user that I'm forwarding here.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/221920

We ship Ubuntu with Compiz turned on for -intel, but the reporter says that on i815 Compiz works in general, but rendering generates a lot of garbage on the screen.

Xorg.0.log:  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13896464/Xorg.0.log
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) [8086:1132] (rev 04)

== Original Report by Ludwik Trammer ==
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

We use bunch of Compaq Deskpro computers with Intel 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (PCI 00:02:0). Since Ubuntu 8.04 desktop effects are turned on by default on those machines. While the visual effects them self work, every action (ex. move of the mouse) generate a lot of garbage on the screen. Therefore it's not possible to work with effects turn on on those machines. This hardware configuration should be blacklisted and visual effects should be turned off by default.

Eric/Keith, is composite supposed to work on 81x?

Comment 2 Eric Anholt 2008-05-06 18:10:54 UTC

Reassign it back away from me.

Our team hasn't ever supported 810-class hardware.  It ought to work, but it's not something we work on.

Comment 3 Keith Packard 2009-10-26 11:46:07 UTC

We don't have any i81x hardware to work on this issue.

Comment 4 Bryce Harrington 2011-02-07 17:07:09 UTC

(Neither do I)

Comment 5 Eugeni Dodonov 2011-09-08 15:56:29 UTC

This issue is affecting a hardware component which is not being actively worked on anymore.

Moving the assignee to the dri-devel list as contact, to give this issue a better coverage.

No one is in a position to fix these bugs and with the removal of xaa it matters not. When an intrepid hw/sw archaeologist turns up, he will have plenty of fun on his hands rebuilding from scratch...
