Created attachment 108536 [details] Image corruptions in Chromium, Blood II: The Chosen through WINE, and Quake III Arena I have been having a very confusing problem with the version of Mesa packaged with Arch Linux. I am using a Diamond Radeon HD 4670 with R600g. Yesterday I updated the various Mesa packages from 10.3.1-1 to 10.3.2-1 and upon doing so I started to encounter screen corruptions in all of the games I tested as well as the browser Chromium. Reverting to the previous version packaged by Arch Linux fixes the issue: cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ pacman -U mesa-10.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz mesa-dri-10.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz mesa-libgl-10.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz mesa-vdpau-10.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz While the bug itself is of course distressing, the main thing that is confusing me is that I am even having trouble finding mention of Mesa 10.3.2 release as the website does not mention it and I can not even find an entry for Mesa 10.3 in the Version field of this very submission form. Games seem to run without any stated errors in spite of the corruptions, something which is making it difficult for me to find any additional information. I have attached screenshots showing off some of the problems I am talking about. I apologize if this report is too vague or if I am missing something with regards to the Mesa version information, but this is the best I can figure out for the moment. Any suggestions as to deriving more useful information would of course be appreciated.
Seeing as attaching an image did not seem to work, the screenshots in question can also be seen here: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?108068-Help-diagnosing-problems-with-a-Readon-HD-4670-on-Mesa-10-3-2-1&p=448863#post448863
Can you bisect mesa to indentify the problematic commit between 10.3.1 and 10.3.2? there are only a few changes between the two versions: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/log/?h=10.3

So it looks like "r600g,radeonsi: Always use GTT again" is the culprit. Sorry for doing it is as two posts; this my first time bisecting and I did not realize at first I needed to do one more step.

I don't have bad rendering during normal renders like you guys, but when mousing over the bookmarks bar in chromium the overlayed boxes are usually corrupt for me now. R9 270X.

Similar story for bugzilla. I'll take a look into getting those resolved. Announcements can bee seen in the mesa-announce ML archive [1], which includes mesa 10.3.2. If you're interest in testing mesa just before it's released, keep an eye open for "New stable branch X candidate" style messages on the mesa-stable ML [2] Pardon for the off topic gents. -Emil [1] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-announce/ [2] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-stable/
Does running the affected apps with the environment variable RADEON_THREAD=0 work around the problem? (In reply to Aaron B from comment #7) > I don't have bad rendering during normal renders like you guys, but when > mousing over the bookmarks bar in chromium the overlayed boxes are usually > corrupt for me now. R9 270X. And that's caused by the same Git commit? I.e. if you revert that commit, the problem goes away?
(In reply to Michel Dänzer from comment #9) > Does running the affected apps with the environment variable RADEON_THREAD=0 > work around the problem? Running "RADEON_THREAD=0 quake3" from the terminal still produces image corruptions for me with 10.3.2.

R9 270X. I've had the same issue in chromium with a 280x. (well I haven't tried on bookmarks, but on any other overlay) I found a way to get around it, just move the cursor away, and move it back on, then your overlay should be fine. I *felt* that this issue came from chromium's new ui library, but truly I never tested it so maybe it came from gallium3d. I'll subscribe to this and maybe I'll try building mesa without that commit later this week.
Hamish, please attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and the output of dmesg.
This may be the same or at least related to bug 84627, which seems caused by something subtle in the kernel.

Can you try a 64-bit kernel? Does it happen with that as well?
(In reply to Michel Dänzer from comment #16) > Can you try a 64-bit kernel? Does it happen with that as well? Booting into the exact same kernel for 64-bit does indeed make the problems go away for me. Gentleman, I think we have a suspect...
