From first use dolphin previews are corrupted, only image in right side is fine. After while even tabs with images open in firefox gets corrupted.

Comment 3 Xavier 2010-05-22 07:45:12 UTC
Using compiz ? If yes, does it affect the results ?
Comment 4 Martin Peres 2010-05-22 11:15:52 UTC
Xavier: This is the kind of corruption I also get. So there are at least three of us having this issue.

My exams are almost over, next week, I'll be free to dig into this problem once for all (hopefuly).
Comment 5 Maarten Maathuis 2010-05-22 13:47:20 UTC
This looks like a typical tiling corruption, the question is, where does it happen?
Comment 6 Martin Peres 2010-05-23 02:05:50 UTC
okias: Can you try to activate the image preview in dolphin ?

If all you get is scrambled thumbnails, then, you have found a good way to reproduce this issue.

Now, let's find what's happening.
Comment 7 David Heidelberg (okias) 2010-05-23 14:56:45 UTC
In short: I don't have composite enabled and dolphin have previews enabled:
1a) enabled: in icon area (corrupted image)
1b) disable: normal mime icons
2) on right side - image is correct

it's 100% repeatable.

After while some others image (icons in systray, plasma widgets icons) gets damaged.
Comment 8 Martin Peres 2010-05-24 03:40:13 UTC
Okias: OK, we have the exact same behaviour. That's great.

I'll try to work on it this week end, I'll keep you updated ;)

Xavier: To fix this issue, should I try to create a minimum test-case or should I just dig into the source code and see if somewhere a memcpy is happening where it should not (by adding some errorF everywhere near memcpy statements) ?
Comment 9 Xavier 2010-05-24 04:14:55 UTC
Heh don't ask me, ask any of the people that actually have a clue like Maarten or others on IRC :)

Did you link this corruption with nouveau_exa_download_from_screen or nouveau_exa_upload_to_screen that you mentioned several times ? The fallback to memcpy-based transfer there ?

You could enable NOUVEAU_FALLBACK in nouveau_local.h , and then add a few ErrorF or NOUVEAU_ERR in strategic places to see if you can link the corruptions with some code path.
But I don't know if that's a good idea and approach to the problem.
Comment 10 Martin Peres 2010-05-24 04:36:29 UTC
No, the fallback is not happening here, sadly. The GART-based transfer always succeed.

So, the problem is elsewhere. I'll drop a line on IRC to see if someone has a clue!

Thanks anyway :)

Hi! I'm having the same problem (while surfing the web / running KDE 4.4.5 or everything else) and I tried running with drm.debug=1 nouveau.reg_debug=0x200 in my kernel options.

I've attached the dmesg / Xorg.log and messages output.

[messages contains an old boot before debug was enabled!]

I needed to gzip the messages output due to being 23 MB big...

I hope this helps. If there is anything else needed, just tell me what I should do and I'll give my best.

lspci -v prints this:

With the latest xorg-edgers version (1.8.2 build 01.07) I have similar problems (icons in taskbar, skype icon in tray, opera menus, all get corrupted).

Would it help if I upload additional logs?

I guess it was fixed long time ago. I can't reproduce it, because I do not have nvidia laptop.
