[Bug 569594] [NEW] Window tearing with Radeon HD 5870

2010-04-24 Thread Paul K
Public bug reported:

I just built a new machine with a (Sapphire) ATI Radeon HD 5870
(Vapor-X) graphics card and am experiencing window tearing as well as
video tearing when running the proprietary Catalyst Driver. I am also
using Ubuntu 9.10 and am experiencing the same problem and was hoping
that it would be fixed in Ubuntu 10.04 with Catalyst 10.4. However, this
problem still persists.

I have tried fixing the problem by making manual adjustments to the
xorg.conf file using aticonfig. I have tried the --ovon and --ovt
thinking that overlay type might help with rendering off-screen buffers
for composited desktops as well as --sync-video=on.

It's not just Compiz that is to blame also. Setting Visual Effects to
None does not correct the problem either. I have also tried the
workarounds extension in Compiz and have set "Fix screen updates in XGL
with fglrx" as well as "Sync To VBlank" under General Options.

Having to reboot into Windows 7 to watch any video is not optimal as I
plan to make Ubuntu my primary operating system. It frustrates me that
the Catalyst driver on the Windows side does not have this problem. I
was hoping that this would be corrected in the Catalyst 10.4 release for
Ubuntu 10.04.

[Bug 303697] Re: [fglrx] vsync issues - screen tearing unrelated to compiz

2010-06-22 Thread Paul K
Here is what I have found since I first reporting my problem. It turns
out this is a Catalyst Driver issue. On a different computer running
Ubuntu 10.04 and with a Radeon HD 4890 I was able to get solid graphics
performance with no screen tearing using the latest open source ati
driver. However, on the same machine with 10.04 and the Catalyst driver,
I am seeing screen tearing.

Just to recap my other machine has a Radeon HD 5870 and I am seeing
tearing with the Catalyst driver. Unfortunately, however, the open
source ati driver does not currently support the Evergreen series of
GPUs, so I am stuck with this pitiful driver. I am now hopeful that my
problems will be solved later this year when 5xxx series cards are
supported in the open source graphics stack.

I'm looking forward to Ubuntu 10.10 and beyond. I think this problem
won't be fixed until that time and any future AMD/ATI GPUs I would
advise staying away from until the open source driver can support them
out of the box. It is my understanding that this screen tearing issue is
rooted in something fundamental to the proprietary Catalyst driver and
is not going away any time soon.
