Nouveau - Aug 2009 - [Bug 23198] New: nv50/NVS135M: video hangs/flickers when fullscreen

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23198

           Summary: nv50/NVS135M: video hangs/flickers when fullscreen
           Product: xorg
           Version: 7.3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/nouveau
        AssignedTo: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: freedesktop.org at stefan-neufeind.de
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


Video played back through e.g. Miro, kaffeine or others works fine if run at a
"reasonable" size. But running near fullscreen or switching to
complete
fullscreen-mode it soon after starts to hang/flicker.

Could you give the output of "nvclock -i"?

What xserver are you using, are you running kms?

Running packages from Fedora 11 (testing) including packages:
xorg-x11-server-utils-7.4-7.fc11.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.3-4.fc11.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.3-4.fc11.x86_64

Not running kms (yet), since Fedora 11 doesn't have that by default
(possible
through kernelparameter nouveau.modeset=1). When turning it on other problems
appear (e.g. external and notebook-internal display appear in wrong order, some
smaller graphics-errors etc.). Might *activating* KMS help narrow down
performance-problems or would you estimate that not running KMS might be the
safer part for now which "should work"?

I have the same problems with a completely different setup on my Ubuntu system.

xserver 1.7.99.2 + git 0cb638dc (but I had these problems with all versions
since 1.6)
Kernel 2.6.33-rc5 + Nouveau git 5e660316 (but again, happens with all versions
I have tested in the last 3 months)
xf86-video-nouveau git 2630a155

The problems occur whenever I set MPlayer to fullscreen on my 1920x1200
display. It happens with Metacity compositing enabled or disabled. My card is a
8400M GS, built into a Dell XPS M1330 notebook.

This bug is rather annoying, as it makes XV unusable on my display, but with
MPlayer's x11 driver my computer is to slow to play hd videos. If you
don't
know why this happens, do you know where I can start debugging? I don't know
much about the internals of the nouveau driver, but I consider myself a rather
competent C programmer.

Try applying http://0x04.net/~mwk/gen.diff

This is known issue... the card is using only 1/8 of its execution resources
because of misextracted initialization values on G86. It'll be fixed for
good
when the ctxprog/ctxvals generator [above] is finished for all cards.

If the generator doesn't work for you, add the following lines to
src/nv50_accel.c in DDX after "OUT_RING  (chan,
NV50TCL_COND_MODE_ALWAYS);":

BEGIN_RING(chan, tesla, NV50TCL_WARP_HALVES, 1);
OUT_RING(chan, 2);
BEGIN_RING(chan, tesla, 0x1400, 1);
OUT_RING(chan, 0xf);

Either way, please report which of these work for you.

The first patch doesn't make any difference, the second one works well.

Ummm... the first patch really should make some difference.... It should either
speed up Xv, or crash and burn horribly.

Could you attach a kernel boot log with gen.diff applied?

Oops, forgot to update initrd... the first patch works, too.
