Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2012-09-19 17:40:21 UTC
In KDE 4.9.1 my fisheye magnifier is totally broken. It either is stretched horizontalls instead of perfectly round (when using multiple monitors) or it makes the area around the lense darkened, or all sorts of other weird effects. See screenshot.
Disabling and re-enabling compositing or restarting kwin didn’t help.

Using kwin_gles on KDE 4.9.1 with Mesa 9.1-devel on ivybridge i915

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Thomas Lübking 2012-09-19 18:51:06 UTC
is the non gles variant also affected?
Comment 3 Kai Uwe Broulik 2012-09-19 19:11:36 UTC
Don't know, this effect needs OpenGL 2 which KWin doesn't enable on this ma hine
Comment 4 Martin Flöser 2012-09-19 19:32:21 UTC
works just fine here. First things to note: if the GL 2 codepath does not work, GLES should not work either. I don't see any reason on why GL2 should not work on an ivybridge. Best get some help on fixing the system.
Comment 5 Thomas Lübking 2012-09-19 19:37:41 UTC
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT in env - it works on a 945 (gles or not) so i'd suspect the mesa dev version?
Comment 6 Martin Flöser 2013-01-07 17:16:51 UTC
any update on whether it works with kwin? On 4.10 you can try:
KWIN_COMPOSE=O2 kwin --replace

(it's an O as in OpenGL not a zero)
Comment 7 Martin Flöser 2013-01-17 15:45:24 UTC
waiting for update...
Comment 8 Kai Uwe Broulik 2013-01-19 16:38:03 UTC
No longer broken in that way but the fisheye stretches across the entire desktop ie. it is not round here but oval because I have two monitors attached.
Comment 9 Martin Flöser 2013-01-19 17:42:55 UTC
That it is oval with multiple screens seems kind of natural to me.
Comment 10 Kai Uwe Broulik 2013-01-19 17:52:00 UTC
Huh? Why would it? Isn't it supposed to zoom what's underneath the mouse cursor? Why would the screen/desktop size matter? :-)
Comment 11 Martin Flöser 2013-01-19 17:59:35 UTC
looking at the code: you might be right, screen geometry is not used.
Comment 12 Thomas Lübking 2013-01-19 21:27:02 UTC
Can we please re-clarify the setup?

It's an ivybridge on (still?) a dev version of mesa using
a) sni
b) uxa
using (because of comment #3) OpenGL 2 shaders (glsl)  (or not?) and the present issue is stretching on a dualscreen setup - also after "kwin --replace&" after the dualscreen setup has been established (maybe also just susped/resume compositing) ie. w/o an interim xrandr event?
