Nouveau Turns Into A Mess In Latest Linux 3.17 + Mesa 10.3-dev Tests

[oibaf]

Whatever the case, I just updated the packages and now it seems that the issue is gone.

It looks a nouveau patch in gallium-nine, I thinks it is this issue: https://github.com/iXit/Mesa-3D/issues/4

The only change in latest packages is indeed inside nine and not related to nv:

I disable gallium-nine until this problem is fixed. Compiling now.

Just tried your latest packages and the problem is not resolved, still same issues.

All Radeons patches are in Mesa, but we have some patches touching Nouveau. At this moment I dropped some controversial patches, so "if" (I had only reported some vertical inverted screen for some games and wrong colors for one) is it caused by this, after next release of oibaf Mesa it should be gone

I doubt Gallium Nine would cause any kind of issues with the driver itself. I was under the assumption that software is programmed in a modular fashion, with Gallium being rather modular itself. Therefore, Gallium Nine code would only get called when Gallium Nine is actually being used by software -- aka a Gallium Nine-patched wine.

Btw Smekras, have you been able to test DRI3 Buffer Offloading on your dual-gpu card? Does it work?

can't say that i have... or that i know how to, really. would appreciate pointers

Might want to check it with a clean mesa build rather than with the gallium-nine patches on top (which also modify drivers). I haven't heard of any such issues until now.

Lol, can't wait to see mesa bug tracker being spammed by gallium-nine users. It's not like they had enough to do anyway.

Not sure if its the same problem, but I have had a similar corruption problem on KDE with oibaf's 10.4~git1408251930.83503f+gallium-nine~gd~t mesa version. I have just upgraded to 10.4~git1408260730.018875+gallium-nine~gd~t and the problem is gone.
