Can you set the environment variable RADEON_DEBUG=fp,vp and then post the debugging output you get with firefox and Google MapsGL.

How do I set that?  In the GRUB kernel boot options?  Or with "setenv"?  And where do I look for the debugging output?  dmesg?  Xorg.log?  Or somewhere else?

Open a terminal a start firefox like this:

RADEON_DEBUG=fp,vp firefox &>mapsgl.log

Then do some stuff with MapsGL, close firefox and post the mapsgl.log file.

radeon debug output

Thanks.  Attached file is from using Google MapsGL on Firefox 16.0.2 with Mesa 9.0.

There are two failing shaders here.

The first shader fails with too many instructions.  It looks like we could get it to pass if we had a Common Subexpression Elimination optimization.

The second shader fails because it uses 7 Texture indirections and the hardware can only do 4.  However three of the Texture indirections contain only KIL instructions, so I think we may be able to fix it, but I need to see what the GLSL looks like.  Can you add the environment variable MESA_GLSL=dump and post the output again:

MESA_GLSL=dump RADEON_DEBUG=fp,vp firefox &>mapsgl.log

MESA_GLSL plus RADEON_DEBUG output

Here is the new output while using Google MapsGL on Firefox 16.02 with Mesa 9.0.  I'm now using the newer Ubuntu kernel mentioned above, and definitely Mesa 9.0.

The previous log should be with Mesa 9.0, although I did upgrade from Mesa 8.04 while running an Ubuntu 12.10 alpha 2 LiveCD and obviously could not reboot - is a reboot necessary?. I'm now running the LiveCD of Ubuntu 12.10 final.  I only mention this because the result looks slightly different for the park, national park, state forest, etc labels - they now have no visible text, just a black rectangle like the street names.  The street names are unchanged, just black rectangles like before.  I will attach a new screenshot.

Woops, sorry about that last attachment.  Thanks Alex for fixing it.

So your issue is fixed or not ?

Only 2 days waiting for a response before closing this bug?  I think someone might be trigger happy.

My comment 8 was referring to the fact that I had uploaded an attachment with the wrong MIME type, and that Alex Deucher was good enough to change the MIME type to the correct one.

This issue is still occurring on Firefox 18.0 and continues to occur after updating to the xorg-edgers PPA.  This PPA has Mesa 9.1~git20130104.r1.b8b1d61e-0ubuntu0ricotz~precise

Any update on this?
