Since actualization of Xorg to 1.9.2 version, I have the following issue:

In KDE, if I active desktop effects, notifications and menues are black, and the whole desktop begin to don't work (for example, I must click 5 times or more to expand a contextual menu).
For example:

This "is" the application launcher of KDE. If I deactivate desktop effects, I don't have that problem.

make.conf

Code:
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a more
# detailed example.

KDE is a ram hog, so this might be caused by insignificant ram. I have four gigs, and some effects can be choppy under high loads.

In the menu for desktop effects, if you look under Advanced, the top option should be Compositing type. Type all the options.

If this still does not work, make sure that you have the right graphics driver in your kernel.
this should be under device drivers > Graphics support > Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 <etc.>) > Intel
there are two options i915 and i830. I think you want the i915 option.
below that there is the option
Code:
 Enable modesetting on intel by default

enable that too. I built them directly into the kernel, and they work very well for me.

good luck with the effects!

I use Compiz-Fusion with Kde. It work very well. So you can desactivate Kde 3D effects and make a test and try it using Fusion-Icon. Do not forget to configure the Settings Manager after start Compiz. I am not sure, but the stabitily of some 3D effects from Kde seem's unclear to me. Since I master more Compiz-Fusion, I do not take time to learn an other 3D manager.

KDE is a ram hog, so this might be caused by insignificant ram. I have four gigs, and some effects can be choppy under high loads.

In the menu for desktop effects, if you look under Advanced, the top option should be Compositing type. Type all the options.

If this still does not work, make sure that you have the right graphics driver in your kernel.
this should be under device drivers > Graphics support > Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 <etc.>) > Intel
there are two options i915 and i830. I think you want the i915 option.
below that there is the option
Code:
 Enable modesetting on intel by default

enable that too. I built them directly into the kernel, and they work very well for me.

good luck with the effects!


The problem aren't desktop effects of KDE. These effects work fine in xorg-server-1.7.7-r1 with 2GB of RAM...
I prove all options of that tab and I have a lot of problems with each one.
I have that options compiled in my kernel, and don't work...

Another issue I have is in the game Hedgewars, when I start the game and I navigate between the menues (qt), the screen turns totally in blank and I must kill X (or restart xdm) to get desktop that works. This doesn't happen with xorg-server-1.7.7-r1 .

Have you try anyway the kernel parameter i915.modeset=1 ? Is the appropriate agp or pcie support in the kernel? Is the Intel DRM support compile in the kernel or in module? If the support is in the kernel, as a workaround, you can try to compile the Intel DRM support in module, and include i915 module in an initrd. KMS start very early too.

You are not the first one in this forum who have trouble when put all DRM and KMS support in the kernel instead of modules. If you say that KMS do not set the display to it native resolution at early boot time, so
Code:
Enable modesetting on intel by default

is not taken in account. What does
Code:
dmesg | grep -i -e fb -e drm -e i915 -e agp -e kms

return? The kernel should give some hints. It's a reason why you can try the kernel boot parameter
Code:
i915.modeset=1

even if modesetting is enabled by default in the kernel and see if the parameter enable native resolution of your screen. Other thing, the command
Code:
grep -i kms /var/log/Xorg.0.log

should say too if KMS is enabled or not. Anyway, modesetting enable or disable should not affect Direct Rendering activation. The grey zone for me is to know if it change performances or not. Probably yes because KMS is written differently then other framebuffers support.

I do not compile my kernel since KMS activate the good native resolution for console with AMD/ATI graphics cards. Generic kernels works fine. If you do not find a solution putting all support for KMS and graphic in the kernel, try to put i915 and KMS support in modules and use an initrd who the include those modules. For me it always work on ArchLinux and Debian.

I do make modules_install and add modules to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6:

If I activate XRandr support in the preferences of desktop effects, works, better than before, but isn't good. OpenGL still have same problems. Furthermore, Hedgewars problems still exist.

Your problem is not KMS. According with dmesg, it is always activated. To verify if it is, your characters terminals (Ctrl+Alt+Fx (x=1 to 6)) should be at the native resolution of the screen. The fbset command executed in one of those should tell that too.
I think you should look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I often scan this log file like this:
Code:
grep EE  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
grep WW  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
grep -i err  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
grep -i fail  /var/log/Xorg.0.log

So I can see if Xorg have problems. If yes, it can come from my personnal /etc/X11/xorg.conf and something else.

Maybe this errors are of Hedgewars :P (I tried to game Hedgewars, in the engine works fine, the problem is in the frontend of the game (in qt). In the frontend screen turns totally in blank...

There's no major problem, only the fonts directory can be ajust. The default Xorg fonts directorys often do not exist in the system. You can use
Code:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "UseDefaultFontPath" "off"
EndSection

and set your own fonts paths in a configfile to eliminate those warnings that, I do not see how they can affect 3D performances. Check the
Code:
man intel

Some options can be helpfull to set. The defaults options that the module set are generally goods. If the graphic memory is too small and or the depth (16, 24 ,32) is to high, that can prevent 3D from working.

This is the xorg.conf generated automatically by Xorg: http://pastebin.com/HmXEhLJe

And this, the /var/log/Xorg.0.log of that configuration: http://pastebin.com/XFeBkayA

If I delete the subsection of the xorg.conf:

Code:
SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection


Nothing happens, still not working.

PD: I have deactivated graphics effects of Hedgewars' frontend and seems it's working fine and don't crash.

A couple of things can be done to optimise your /etc/X11/Xorg.conf. First, you can test two accelerated methods, XAA and EXA. According to your /var/log/Xorg.0.log, the Intel driver use presently the EXA accelerated method. This is the default, but XAA is more stable and can resolv your problem. Just uncomment and modify the line
Code:
Section "Device"
Option     "AccelMethod"              "XAA" # or EXA
EndSection


You can tell Xorg the horizontal synchronisation and the vertical refresh of the monitor. Xorg is to conservative by default and use restricted ranges. The minimum and maximum ranges for horizontal and vertical can be written in the screen manual. Some utilities can probe the monitor but I don't remember who's one. If you don't know, you can guess something like
Code:
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Monitor Model"
        HorizSync 0-100
        VertRefresh 0-100
EndSection

Xorg Intel driver will try some values in the specified ranges according to his own probe of the monitor. It never dammage the monitor for me. You do it at your own risk.

Last, you can set the default depth
Code:
Section "Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
DefaultFbBpp 32
EndSection

These are additions and modifications. The rest can stay unchanged.

Intel uses UXA, and it's the only one available anymore.

Gusar, your right about UXA. It is the default accelerated method, but is it the only one? Probably the Intel manual page is out of date, but XAA and EXA appear as choices.

That site is outdated, the manpage I have installed here doesn't mention the AccelMethod option anymore. So yeah, UXA is the only one.

My Intel 855 video based laptop has gotten unusable with KDE, after recent upgrades to xorg-server-1.9.2 and kernel-2.6.36.

My dmesg log was flooded with...
Code:
drm:intel_prepare_page_flip, *ERROR* Prepared flip multiple times
...which led me to these bug reports.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21927
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24202

The former of those links recommends adding this to xorg.conf...
Code:
Section "Device"
   Identifier "card0"
   Driver "intel"
   Option "DRI" "false"
EndSection
...which does make KDE usable, at the expense of Compositing being permanently disabled.

I don't know if just disabling Compositing in KDE (instead of adding the xorg.conf snippet above) is enough of a workaround...

I must be blind, checking again the output of dmesg in previous message, show that the lines starting with
Code:
drm:i915_gem_do_execbuffer] *ERROR*

look to be the source of the problem. A search in Google say that some others fill a bug report about that.

gkmac, there's nothing related to a page flip problem by the drm in dmesg output of phyro problem. You can disable PageFlip by
Code:
Option "PageFlip" "off"

in Section "Device" for intel driver. Disabling Kde effects and see if the display is correct is a needed test. If yes, try Compiz can be done to test 3D effects with an other application. I would prefer to play with all of the others options available in the
Code:
man intel

before disabling DRI and 3D acceleration. The Xorg framebuffer driver can be use in Section "Device" with modeset and can be a usable workaround keeping a minimum of 3D acceleration:
Code:
Driver      "fbdev"

Possible too is to disable modeset by
Code:
i915.modeset=0

and see if the Xorg intel driver work .Some i915 parameters can be use too looking at
Code:
modinfo i915

I tried all of that, except modify horizontal synchronisation and the vertical refresh of the monitor. Doesn't work :( :

Dude,

I guess I ran into this a long time ago. :D

The way to get rid of this "feature":

1) right click the panel and select "Unlock Widgets" if it is locked.
2) then click on the "cashew" on the panel
3) drag away the app launcher / right click on the application launcher menu and select "Remove this Application Launcher Menu"
4) add the god damn menu again

You are done. So who are you going to blame now ?

:D

I also had this kde-intel-compositing problems. Installing x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel newer than 2.13.0 fixed this. I use the life ebuild from the x11 overlay.

I battled with my i965 intel graphic card and compositing in X since I upgraded to X11R7.6 as well.

The solution that worked for me was as stupid as effective: when I upgraded my gentoo-sources kernel to 2.6.36 (current stable) it just started to work.

In fact I tried all sorts of combinations of xf86-video-intel, mesa and kernel and by just upgrading and using all of them as the current latest stable it worked the best.

As for the settings I wrote how I migrated on my blog, but as far as graphics is concerned, I just removed xorg.conf and let X and udev handle it.
