Description WuNian 2008-04-12 20:21:04 UTC
Created attachment 15865 [details]
xorg log file

Platform: G945

I updated all components to tip:
Drm - db61f02bd7e4b9d5ac416f1ef98bac1bd4d984bc
Mesa - 32134b5508495fbb1d9fc2f844e22fbb082dcda6
Xserver - b1f3f42840ec01db417345a0740b59ad5e4471cb
intel driver - 21783ec9dfad9aae0837fd2d8eb313a77f031046 xf86-video-intel-2.3-branch


Then I start up "Xorg" by typing "startx &", the full screen is white, only mouse can be seen and I can move the mouse. If I kill Xorg by pressing "ALT-CTRL-BACKSPACE", I can see the normal desktop flashed away.
I uses Ubuntu7.10 which use compiz by default. If I used metacity as window manager, everything is OK. 
I used compiz that Ubuntu 7.10 provided at first, then I update compiz to tip (6122474bf51a62ea392f7f49ddc8b8e4252652a5), but the bug still exist.
Comment 1 Ben Gamari 2008-04-12 21:26:02 UTC
Hey, if you start compiz in a terminal, you may see "failed to create drawable" messages. If this is the case, you are experiencing the same issue I am, which I described in "CreateDrawable failing with old DRI" on the xorg mailing list. I have been unable to isolate the underlying cause of this and have yet to hear back from Kristian or the list. Superficially, it looked like mesa commit 23635510e3333ea8056311afa741c5e6d7c9ec15 might fix the issue, but no such luck.

I can see this message too and the screen is black.

Yes, The commit does not work for me.

Comment 3 Ben Gamari 2008-04-14 08:27:08 UTC
Are you using the intel-batchbuffer branch? I seem to recall getting a black screen and similar (but not identical) messages when DRI2 was in use.

Comment 4 Ben Gamari 2008-04-14 08:35:47 UTC
This message appears in mesa's glx_pbuffer.c and was introduced by Kristian's commit e82dd8c6e1fa2fff5b960de26961080ba5e9651d (DRI interface changes and DRI2 direct rendering support). It appears to be thrown because drawable != req->glxwindow (glx_pbuffer.c:366) when that comparison in driCreateDrawable (dri_glx.c:1088) failed. The comparison is apparently checking for "GLX 1.3+ drawable constructors," which the old DRI can't handle. Unfortunately, the glxwindow and drawable somehow aren't being initialized with similar values, hence the failing check. Hope this saves someone a little work.
Comment 5 Michel Dänzer 2008-04-14 09:34:19 UTC
Is compiz trying to use direct rendering? That has never worked with the 'old' DRI. Does it work if you set LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1?
Comment 6 Ben Gamari 2008-04-14 11:40:49 UTC
You're absolutely right, that was the issue (at least why the screen was white). I had set that in my .bashrc which I recently deleted. Setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT gives a black screen and more or less freezes X (Ctrl+C doesn't kill compiz, switching to a VT and killing locks up the machine, expectedly). More details in an hour when I get out of class and find a machine to remote in from.
Comment 7 Ben Gamari 2008-04-14 13:39:00 UTC
I am thoroughly confused. It seems that over indirect rendering compiz runs fine but fails to map any windows (they are black). Strangely, it gives no errors, however. The cube plugin works as expected (end-caps, background and all) so it seems the issue is probably in texture-from-pixmap or the related machinery. I'm honestly at a loss as to how to approach this problem.

As I said before, compiz produces nothing evenly slightly resembling an error. After initializing, gdb verified that compiz is sitting in its event loop which is further supported by the fact that compiz behaves as it should, albeit with a black desktop. I have no problem looking into this problem deeper, but I need some input as to where the bug could be occurring or how to localize it further. Any ideas?

I set LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1, then startx, desktop is up and display is correct, but the windows has no window manager(no title bar, no border), although the compiz is running:

root@nian-dev:~# ps -ef |grep compiz
root      6303  6241  0 09:42 pts/0    00:00:00 /usr/bin/compiz --sm-client-id default0
root      6455  6205  0 09:43 pts/0    00:00:00 grep compiz

I use the master branch of xf86-video-intel.

So, I suspect that GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is incorrectly being advertised with DRI1.

Is AIGLX fully initialized?

You probably aren't loading the decoration plugin and/or a decoration manager.

Interesting. glxinfo lists it,
server glx extensions:
    GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, 
    GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer, 

Perhaps this is one of the issues.

I just attached a log. Quote:

(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable

drmOpenDevice: open result is 10, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:00:02.0

(II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_texture_from_pixmap with driver support
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so
 
Am I correct in assuming that is AIGLX not supposed to be enabling texture_from_pixmap?

It's expected to be listed in the server and client extensions. What matters is the 'GLX extensions:' string.

No, it's supported with indirect rendering.

Just attached the output of glxinfo and it appears to be listed in the GLX extensions string as well. Interesting.

Alright.

Comment 15 Johannes Engel 2008-04-15 08:02:23 UTC
That log looks good to me, at least my one looks pretty similar. And at the moment I do not expect that behaviour.

Well, this is most unfortunate. Kristian, any suggestions as how to approach isolating this issue? Do you know of any likely failure points that wouldn't throw an error?
Comment 17 Ben Gamari 2008-04-22 08:50:12 UTC
It seems as though the only issue here was that indirect rendering wasn't being used. Marking NOTABUG. There is another bug concerning actual breakage of texture_from_pixmap (which was the problem I was referring to) at #14441.
Comment 18 Michel Dänzer 2008-04-22 09:29:57 UTC
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap being advertised without LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 with DRI1 is definitely a bug and a regression.

Oh, uhhhh, ooops. Really sorry about that, I apparently am talking out of my a**. My bad.

Still a bug with mesa master. Ubuntu Intrepid will soon be updated to the latest packages, so hopefully this bug gets some attention.

Now updated. People are seeing white (this bug), corruption (bug 14441) and black (bug 14441 for advanced users who have additionally self-compiled TTM support).

Yeah, this one cool - in fact, I think we should apply both, they both make sense.
