Tried with cdimage:
http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130311/raring-desktop-amd64.iso

Still very ugly glitches!

Please, if I can provide any more details or something, tell me!

I added a glxinfo output again of the version of the used libgl stuff.
Anyway, as it was the livecd boot, I can reproduce it very easily.

Does the attached kernel patch fix the issue?

Comment 8 Thilo Cestonaro 2013-03-28 22:33:45 UTC
Finally I found some time do reinstall Ubuntu and compile the kernel with the patch. Sadly it doesn't fix the issue. :(

Comment 9 Thilo Cestonaro 2013-03-29 08:43:04 UTC
Forgot to mention, which versions I used. 
The Ubuntu I installed was raring latest with selfcompiled kernel 3.8.4 (from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-raring.git).

Comment 10 Alex Deucher 2013-03-29 13:11:52 UTC
Does disabling tiling help?

Option "ColorTiling2D" "false"

in the device section of your xorg.conf?
Comment 11 Thilo Cestonaro 2013-03-29 14:23:07 UTC
Do you think, the Kernel patch fixed something which works together with the tiling option. If not, we tried this already last year (Nov.)

http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2012-November/055131.html

But I will give it a try.

Comment 12 Thilo Cestonaro 2013-03-29 14:35:22 UTC
I tried both with the patched kernel, only ColorTiling2D and ColorTiling plus ColorTiling2D.
The glitches still occur.

Any other ideas?

Does this kernel patch fix the issue?
Comment 14 Thilo Cestonaro 2013-04-10 20:24:49 UTC
Sadly I must say, that this patch changes the behave in no way, too. :( ...

It's still flickering and showing theses glitches as in the video.

Could I add any debug output, any printks which would help to identify the problem? 
Anything else I should test? 
Currently I'm testing on raring latest with following kernel + the two patches mentioned in this thread.

Kernel:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-raring.git;a=commit;h=82983bbf61f02dec860e266217f002c18a06006e

Greetings
Thilo
Comment 15 Thilo Cestonaro 2013-04-10 20:28:28 UTC
The first is already part of the kernel, so it's the kernel + the second patch.

Greetings

Thilo Cestonaro, Ubuntu Saucy reached EOL on July 17, 2014. For more on this, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases.

If this is reproducible in a supported release, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with Ubuntu by ensuring you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information running the following from a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg

Also, please feel free to subscribe me to it.
