[GeForce 6100 GO] Image and Xv corruption

Hi daniele-smartango,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` and `dmesg`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you're using a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

Daniele, try "apport-collect 532756" to submit the required information (after you've retried using the "nouveau" driver, so Xorg.0.log.old will contain the error).
Thanks.

apport-collect crashed ... I attach Xorg.log here

lspci -vvnn

Your Xorg.0.log indicates that you've got the binary nvidia drivers
installed. As only one driver can bind to the graphics card, installing
the nvidia binary drivers will disable nouveau.

Does nouveau work if you disable the restricted nvidia drivers in
System→Administration→Hardware Drivers and reboot?

I do not have system->Administration->Hardware driver in my menu, which
command I have to issue, also if nouveau conflict with nvidia it should
be stated somewhere ... I have to remove nvidia-current and all nvidia
packages ?

this is what I see after removing nvidia packages and reboot (same with vlc)
there is some think I miss?

I mean something ...
I attach Xorg.log.0 of nouveau

totally unusable, I have weird colors screen and nothing to debug/report bug, this also make desktop system unusable (I have just to ctrl-alt-del)

someway restarted with kms enabled and kernel 2.6.32-16 and result this:

Could you please run the command:

apport-collect 532756

from a terminal while using the nouveau driver? That will attach all
sorts of useful debugging information to your report.

there is a bug in apport-collect (or in server side) that make the program crash with http 412
I cant.
Can I attach some other way to attach debug (manual procedure)?

glxinfo

gdmlog

bottom region of screen now is right rendered, still have problem with play video
I just installed xorg crack pushers packages and problem persists

I'm not entirely sure at this point what problem you are experiencing. I think your problem is that video playback is broken, is this correct?

Could you please remove the xorg crack pushers packages by installing the “ppa-purge” package and running “sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers” and reboot?

If the problem persists, please run “apport-collect 532756” after trying to play video.

the problem is video play with totem, also bottom region of screen is corrupted (sometime black, sometime random color)

with solid background color (8bit) screen root bottom region is cleanly, with an image or gradient is corrupt

Thank you for that. I've forwarded this bug upstream. Could you please subscribe to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27076 as the Novueau developers may wish to get additional information from you.

As for Ubuntu, could you please try copying the attached xorg.conf file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf - this will disable acceleration, which should work around the bugs you're seeing.

It might be better to just disable Xv in the interim so your whole desktop doesn't run like molasses. You can do that in System - Preferences - Multimedia System Selector, go to the video tab and change the default output dropdown menu from autodetect to X Window System (No Xv).

Sorry, I missed that you also had corruption outside of video playback when I suggested that.

NoAccel work around the problem but slow down rendering, now it seems an '90 Xterm

Right. That turns off all hardware acceleration, which will obviously
make things slow. Ideally this bug will get fixed, and you'll be able
to have both acceleration and a non-corrupted display.

If it doesn't get fixed in time for Lucid, though, we can fall back to
disabling acceleration and you (and people with the same graphics card
as you) can at least boot to a non-corrupted desktop.

Sorry, this do not make sense to me, corruption is random, sometime happen sometime no ...
Anyway disabling acceleration is not an option if someone want to use pc for
something else than have nice picture on monitor:
every time I scroll I have to wait 2 second for monitor to refresh ...
for some reason application (or gtk or other library) use heavy algorithm
for scrolling that make things more slowly than a 15 year old pc.
The only option for scrolling in firefox (continuous) is disabled.

I reenabled accel, I randomly get no corrupted screen, tough I set NoXVideo true
but it is not used.

There is an option to disable nouveau for some chipset and use nv?
thus option for who want to test nouveau on go 6100
is to use edges archives

I can almost confirm that there is no more screen corruption with latest kernel:
3 boot and what I see is corruption before gdm set background, then screen
rendered correctly.
Still corruption in xv video playback.

I don't know if this is the same issue. I use a GeForce 6150 on an amd64 system, with Natty. When I try to use XVideo with Nouveau I get a green window where the video would have been. Setting NoAccel solves the problem, but then the desktop and video playback are slow.

Hi,

Here's a screenshot of what I'm experiencing.

Daniele and Haggai - are these issues still occurring on Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot"?

I'm afraid the machine I had with that chipset is no longer working, so I cannot test it with Oneiric.

I'm using proprietary driver I will give a confirmation in one week

I cannot see this on the same hardware in Precise or Oneiric:
I close this, feel free to reopen it if encounter again this problem.
Thanks
fabio
