Screenshot of UI Problem

With 3.0 Mesa 9.1-devel (git-122dfc5) i get the attached garbled screen output when starting Linux native Team Fortress 2 Beta client. I tried all of the visual settings under advanced options but the problem persists. If you need more input feel free to ask.

Comment 2 Alex Deucher 2012-12-10 16:20:07 UTC
Is this a regression or has it always had rendering problems?  Does it render ok with mesa 9.0.x or 8.0.x?  If so, can you bisect?
Comment 3 dev 2012-12-10 22:56:02 UTC
Only tried it with mesa from git but i can give 9.0 a shot. Though as far as I know the native client is not officially released yet, so I don't know if bisecting will help.

1eedebc65b02130ef7a27062a1ed67972a317a08 is the first bad commit
commit 1eedebc65b02130ef7a27062a1ed67972a317a08
Author: Marek Olšák <maraeo@gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Nov 1 02:00:37 2012 +0100

    r600g: re-enable handling of DISCARD_RANGE, improving performance
    
    It seems to work for me now. Even the graphics corruption is gone.
    
    This also boosts performance in Reaction Quake.


Reverting this commit on current master (e721a76) does fix the garbled UI
on my rv770.
Comment 5 Bryan Quigley 2012-12-29 04:10:17 UTC
I have the garbled issue, but if I try to play the game it soon crashes.  Do you all have this additional issue as well?

Nope, I can play with the garbled issue and it doesn't crash.

Do the piglit transform feedback tests pass?

All 241 tests with this command pass:  piglit-run.py -t transform_feedback /usr/share/piglit/tests/all.tests

I just tried steam and tf2 on linux, and I didn't see any rendering error. The only abnormal thing was this line:
This system DOES NOT support the OpenGL extension GL_ARB_uniform_buffer.

Comment 12 Marek Olšák 2013-02-17 21:49:19 UTC
Could you please attach an apitrace file showing the issue?
Comment 13 Bryan Quigley 2013-02-21 03:36:42 UTC
Apitrace done.. It's about 300MB so I uploaded it to GoogleDrive.

Fixed by Mesa commit aac81387447152b5bda99150414d636a003adc5. Closing.
Comment 15 Andreas Boll 2013-02-22 13:17:18 UTC
I can still reproduce the garbled ui on my rv770

Mesa f6b40ddd2d92fd82ccf7ce695d4ed026ef7cfd11
Kernel 3.8.0
Comment 16 Alex Deucher 2013-02-22 15:09:36 UTC
the patches in bug 50655 may help.

Does this patch help?
Comment 18 Andreas Boll 2013-02-22 18:22:04 UTC
Nope it doesn't help :/

How about this one?
Comment 20 Andreas Boll 2013-02-22 23:08:41 UTC
It doesn't help either.
Comment 21 Andreas Boll 2013-02-23 18:18:12 UTC
I've tested Mesa f6b40ddd2d92fd82ccf7ce695d4ed026ef7cfd11 
with the patch set "r6xx flushing rework and enable CP DMA (v2)"
from http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2013-February/035081.html
and it doesn't fix the issue.

Note that older kernels (eg 3.5) which don't have CP DMA are affected by this issue too.

I could reproduce the garbled UI on Counter-Strike: Source too.
Reverting 1eedebc65b02130ef7a27062a1ed67972a317a08 fixes the issue on CSS.

Me too.
I have a RV770 and reverting 1eedebc65b02130ef7a27062a1ed67972a317a08 fixes the issue on CSS.
Comment 23 Simone Scanzoni 2013-02-27 15:54:02 UTC
Mesa 9.2-devel (git-4deefd9) showed the problem here with TF2, I don't have CSS.
Added patches:
 r600g: emit a ps partial flush after CP DMA
 r600g: enable CP DMA on r6xx (v3)
and the problem persisted.
Then reverting commit 1eedebc65b02130ef7a27062a1ed67972a317a08 fixed the issue.
Mesa 9.0.3 works.
HD3850 (RV670) AGP, kernel 3.8.0

First comment so I want to thank the devs for their work. :)

Nice to hear from you!

Could you test this patch
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2013-February/035347.html

It helps here on rv770 and kernel 3.8.0

Patch 3/5 doesn't help for me.  Should I try out the other patches in that series? (nee ATI RV670 [Radeon HD 3870], Git kernel (pre 3.9))

The only patch that's relevant for r6xx is 2/5.  Does that help?  You might need to apply 1/5 first.

That's just turning that off (same as a revert specific to r600 though).  Works perfectly.
Comment 28 Marek Olšák 2013-02-28 09:35:29 UTC
Andreas Boll requested a branch of all my latest Mesa patches for people to test it. It's here:

This branch fixes the garbled screen and improves the performance (~ 120 - 160%)
here with tf2 and css on my rv770.

Please test it!

Awesome!
With my RV770 all is rendering correctly now in CS:S! Moreover, I'm always at 60FPS (vsync certainly enabled) with all graphical options enabled (even MSAA 2x) (1680*1050)!

Note that I'm using 3.7.9-201.fc18.x86_64.
Comment 31 Simone Scanzoni 2013-03-01 21:41:33 UTC
I tested master Mesa 9.2-devel (git-a40ba43) and TF2 works with my RV670.
Comment 32 dev 2013-03-07 21:50:49 UTC
Tested and works for me!
