Description karaluh 2012-10-15 14:02:41 UTC
As in summary. With compositing disabled or with only one display everything is fine. The card identifies itself as Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controler.
Comment 1 Thomas Lübking 2012-10-15 14:37:54 UTC
please provide
a) the output of "qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation"
b) the output of "glxinfo -l"
c) the ouput of "xrandr -q" (in the multiscreen setup)

Those are not reasonable either (iow: "lies") but unrelated in this case, however ensure the blur effect strength is not too high.

Arrange the screens on top of each other, so you'll get 1440x1700

-> How's the speed then?

Reduced it to the one level above min, but the result is hardly noticeable.

Wow, the difference is HUGE. There are still little slowdowns here and there compared to disabled compositing, but the workspace responsiveness is ok now.
Comment 5 Thomas Lübking 2012-10-16 16:37:35 UTC
*sigh*

@Martin, would you accept a hack-a-round to limit the maximum viewport to the mamximum texture size or should we "could you please stop propagating nonsense" rumble into the Mesa devs?
(Maybe more polite and w/o rumbling but it actually seems this "yeah, in SW we theoretically..." junk is intended :-(

doesn't look so much like a hack to me, to add some general checks to 
SceneOpenGL to verify viewport/texture size and stop the Compositor (fallback 
to XRender) with maybe a notification. Should of course also be checked upon 
screen geometry change.

Should I report this bug upstream? How's the workaround going?

> Should I report this bug upstream?
no, only if you have the latest drivers installed. The report is about Mesa 8.0, while the current stable is 9.0 and the development version is 9.1.

Comment 11 karaluh 2013-07-24 06:05:50 UTC
Just FYI, I decided to report the bug upstream and got response today:

"I suspect KDE is using the advertised maximum viewport incorrectly.  The OpenGL
spec requires the value be fairly large.  Section 2.12.1 (Controlling the
Viewport) says:

    The maximum viewport dimensions must be greater than or equal to
    the larger of the visible dimensions of the display being rendered
    to (if a display exists), and the largest renderbuffer image which
    can be successfully created and attached to a framebuffer object
    (see chapter 4).

X allows the user to create very large windows and pixmaps... even larger than
the display itself.  As a result, we can't advertise a small value here and
still comply with the spec.

If KDE wants to know sizes that will be "fast," GL_MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE is
likely a better metric."

Comment 12 Thomas Lübking 2013-07-24 13:59:26 UTC
Ok, many thanks for the info - that at least explains why the driver annouces to support such enormous viewports.

The patch (it's in 4.11) more or less tests that (GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE instead of GL_MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE, but that has similar implications and too small GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE adds the other obstacle that we cannot redirect eg. maximized windows) and warns about a potentially slow system for that.

Altering bug status since it's not an upstream bug then.
