Forwarding this bug from a ubuntu reporter:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/380265

[Problem]
glxgears produces corrupted output with UXA enabled on this chip, unless tiling is turned off.

[Original Report]
Tiling should be turned off automatically by X when tiling has an error initializing, but instead it remains on. Thus, glxgears output is corrupted.

This xorg.conf produces valid output for me:

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Configured Device"
	Option      "AccelMethod" "UXA"
	Option      "Tiling" "false"
EndSection


The attached screenshot shows what glxgears looks like when the "Tiling" line is commented out.

The artifacts are actually lines of pixels from the Firefox window I have open. Sometimes I can see entire portions of a web page in there. (I have no other windows open.)


This only occurs when using UXA.

Xorg.0.log

Here's what X logs into Xorg.0.log when the "Tiling" line is commented out. The highlights of this file are here:

(II) intel(0): Attempting memory allocation with tiled buffers.
(EE) intel(0): Failed to set tiling on front buffer: Invalid argument
(II) intel(0): Tiled allocation successful.
Comment 2 Gordon Jin 2009-06-09 17:26:07 UTC 
I guess Eric fixed a similar 8xx bugs after 2.7.1?
Comment 3 Jacob Godserv 2009-06-09 18:34:27 UTC 
CC'ing myself, since I am affected by this bug.
Comment 4 Bryce Harrington 2009-06-27 12:34:10 UTC 
Jacob, please test against a newer version of the -intel driver.  Jaunty debs of recent git snapshots can be found here:

https://edge.launchpad.net/%7Exorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/658947/+listing-archive-extra

Alternatively, you could try booting a karmic live cd, which you can find at:

Comment 5 Jacob Godserv 2009-07-06 22:25:39 UTC 
Hey, I want you guys to know I live, and testing that package is high in my TODO. I've just come home from a vacation so I'm still catching up with a lot of things.

Sorry for the delay.
Comment 6 Wang Zhenyu 2009-08-06 01:18:54 UTC 
I can confirm this problem is fixed in 2.6.31-rc5 KMS with xf86-video-intel git master, and mesa-7.5.
Comment 7 Jacob Godserv 2009-08-07 08:11:45 UTC 
I can also (belatedly) confirm that glxgears is happy.
Comment 8 Eric Anholt 2009-10-09 14:34:08 UTC 
feedback timeout, other reporters say it's fixed.
