Description Lukasz Kurylo 2010-10-01 00:53:25 UTC
Created attachment 39096 [details]
Note that black stripe on the right side of the monitor.

I have Notebook with LVDS1:1680x1050 display and external monitor VGA1:1920x1200.
After enabling compiz in kwin everything on that extended VGA1 display (arranged on the right of LVDS1) gets shifted to the left by 128 pixels (left most part is missing), mouse cursor is OK. I believe that this issue is caused by the lack on copy-fb patch in the latest packaged versions of the driver.

xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.12.0-1ubuntu5) is OK
xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.12.902+git20100930.345c963e-0ubuntu0sarvatt) is BAD

I did git bisect between latest git and 2.12.0 (vanilla) and it was always BAD.

My conclusion is that one of the patches in 2:2.12.0-1ubuntu5 was fixing this.

    drm/i915: Fix offset page-flips on i965+
    
    i965 uses the Display Registers to compute the offset from the display
    base so the new base does not need adjusting when flipping. The older
    chipsets use a fence to access the display and so do perceive the
    surface as linear and have a single base register which is reprogrammed
    using the flip.
