Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>Ok, first reaction (confirming my suspicion that <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/glamor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glamor</span></a> causes the bug) was super quick, I'm impressed! Let's see whether anyone jumps in soon to actually analyze the root cause. 😎 </p><p>JFTR, it's the bug I already probe for in <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xmoji" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xmoji</span></a> to enable a silly workaround when necessary, applying a transformation to the source picture.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X11</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xorg</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/XRender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XRender</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/development" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>development</span></a></p>
Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>I want to finally resume work on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Xmoji" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xmoji</span></a>. Starting with a bit of house-keeping, I factored out a function probing for a weird <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/XRender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XRender</span></a> (presumably only with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/glamor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glamor</span></a>) bug, so it doesn't distract from the normal X client startup, and took the opportunity to also document it:</p><p><a href="https://github.com/Zirias/xmoji/blob/7d617cd74813590c08182bf963c622d219842b17/src/bin/xmoji/x11adapter.c#L623" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/Zirias/xmoji/blob/7</span><span class="invisible">d617cd74813590c08182bf963c622d219842b17/src/bin/xmoji/x11adapter.c#L623</span></a></p><p>If anything is really wrong with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X11</span></a> or <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/XOrg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XOrg</span></a>, it's bugs like this 😔 ...</p>

Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>Finally removed the nasty "glitches" setting from <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Xmoji" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xmoji</span></a>!</p><p>After lots of (unsuccessful) research whether I can somehow check which modules(!) are loaded on the X server (to find out whether <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/GLAMOR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GLAMOR</span></a> is used, which I *think* causes a bug in compositing glyphs with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/XRender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XRender</span></a>) ... I finally remembered an old strategy which is both horribly ugly and pretty reliable: probing!</p><p>I now do a dummy glyph compositing to a single-pixel off-screen pixmap during startup and fetch the resulting pixmap from the server, so I can simply *see* whether the result is buggy. 🙈</p><p><a href="https://github.com/Zirias/xmoji/commit/93143775e6ad9b01f7f23b2da48c5e6921669fd0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/Zirias/xmoji/commit</span><span class="invisible">/93143775e6ad9b01f7f23b2da48c5e6921669fd0</span></a></p><p>I actually wonder why I didn't have that idea much earlier. E.g. coding on the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/C64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>C64</span></a>, probing the hardware (e.g. to identify VIC and SID model by their behavior) is a pretty common thing to do 🥸</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X11</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/emoji" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emoji</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/keyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>keyboard</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xcb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a></p>
Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>Tricky question about <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X11</span></a> (with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xcb</span></a>) <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a>:</p><p>Is there a way to determine from an X client whether the X server uses <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/glamor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glamor</span></a> acceleration?</p><p>Background, I experienced a rendering bug compositing <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/glyphs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glyphs</span></a> with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/XRender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XRender</span></a> where the source coordinates don't work as expected. I found a workaround (that of course breaks when the bug is *not* present): Apply a transformation to the source picture.</p><p>I now suspect it's glamor introducing this bug, independent from the actual GPU driver. So it would be awesome if I could automatically enable the workaround when needed. I guess it's not possible though, but hey, I can ask 😎</p>
Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@matuzalem" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>matuzalem</span></a></span> I start to suspect this glitch is a generic <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/glamor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glamor</span></a> bug, because it's exactly the same on these two very different GPUs. When I changed my accelmethod from glamor to EXA, it was gone for me.</p><p>Unfortunately, there's AFAIK no way for an X client to detect whether glamor is used, otherwise I could auto-enable the workaround 😞</p>
Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>Now I'm even more puzzled: No such bug when running in either <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xrdp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xrdp</span></a> or <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Xephyr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xephyr</span></a>, everything works perfectly fine 😖. My local <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xorg</span></a> server also lags in general right now (after running for &gt; 1 week, probably shouldn't do this), so, will try to "turn it off and on again" as soon as I have a chance 🤣. But maybe, it's yet another <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/XRender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XRender</span></a> glitch in combination with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/glamor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glamor</span></a> for my very old <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/radeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radeon</span></a> GPU 🤨</p><p>Video: Testing in <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Xephyr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xephyr</span></a>, working well .... no issues scrolling "really fast" thanks to the off-screen pixmap 😃</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X11</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xcb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a></p>
