Description Ivan Sukin 2010-10-10 07:41:35 UTC

"Toyball" standard demo is not working now (it was working with older versions of Mesa). Output is:
r300 FP: Compiler Error:
r300_fragprog_emit.c::emit_alu(): Too many ALU instructions
Using a dummy shader instead.

Comment 1 Tom Stellard 2010-11-21 21:43:22 UTC

This is fixed in git master.

Comment 2 Ivan Sukin 2010-11-22 01:05:13 UTC

Many thanks.

@Tom is the fix available in mesa 7.10.1?

i'm still having this bug when using gnome-shell

Can you file a new bug.  This is a different problem.

Yes, it's in 7.10.

Note that this is not a bug, it's a hardware limitation. Sometimes we can improve the compiler so that it generates a little less instructions, but that only applies to shaders the size of which is very close to the hardware limit. Too long shaders are simply NOT supported by hardware. Period.

Please set the environment variable RADEON_DEBUG=fp and attach the output gnome-shell will generate (in a new bug).
