@fritsch,

there has been another patch suggested.
if you have time, could you apply this patch for us APU users to see if it clears up the artifacts?
here's the link -- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=86939

thanks in advance! I really appreciate it.

[fritsch]

Already in - see here: https://github.com/fritsch/linux/commit/...cb0db6a61c

It does not help. I ship this patch since it appeared and someone reported it.

Hey,

I have upgrated to Saucy now and installed all new Patches. The good one I have no flickering anymore with my Asrock Board and AMD A-6400K CPU. But now I have a very High CPU Usage in XBMC with 90%-100%. So the menus are very slow. Is there a patch and a known issue?

[fritsch]

No - i think you just miss proper video drivers. Post the logs request in the first post.

[hero]

Here are my logs:

Thanks fritsch for your help.

@hero, see above.
the flickering issue has not gone away since the first time you posted about it...
this seems to be an issue with the APU.
according to @FernetMenta:

That looks like gles rendering where the triangles of a fan are submitted one by one. gles does not define GL_QUADS which is used by OpenGL. Maybe a problem with wayland support compiled into mesa.

after you install the correct files (from the how-to on first page), please help by posting logs here -- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63997

not much @fritsch can do for us....

the flickering is 'a good thing', at this point...

[deadite66]

looks like hero has missing mesa packages.

[locomot1f]

@deadlite66,

you're correct.
unfortunately the flickering is "normal".

hoping that @FernetMenta's words of advice can lead to a solution.

19:43:30 T:139661034665856 NOTICE: GL_RENDERER = Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 128 bits)
19:43:30 T:139661034665856 NOTICE: GL_VERSION = 2.1 Mesa 10.0.0-devel

2.1 ouh?

You miss glamor

Code:

sudo apt-get install libglamor0 xserver-xorg-glamoregl

[tomtomme]

brilliant! HD-sound works! I do not know what went wrong at my first attempt to compile the kernel, but this time - success! I updated the Howto accordingly. The marantz.bin is not even needed here.

@fritsch: now the howto is complete you may link it

[hero]

I have done sudo apt-get install libglamor0 xserver-xorg-glamoregl
But in xbmc it shows also GL_VERSION = 2.1 Mesa 10.0.0-devel
What version must be there?

[tomtomme]

@hero: did you restart? depending on your graphics card the version should at least be 3.0

[hero]

Yes, I restarted the PC, but there also stands 2.1 at the GL-Driver

[locomot1f]

i went through this at one point... unfortunately i don't remember the exact steps i took to fix it.
although i know i didn't have to reinstall the OS!

try removing the packages listed and then reinstalling them.

if that doesn't work,
try starting fresh...

install ppa-purge, and purge the following:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:wsnipex/mesa

then reinstall the ppa's.
you might want to reboot between the purging and reinstalling.

something is stuck, and not getting cleared to allow the correct drivers to be loaded.

For completion:

@Iamroot: Your soundcard, the ALC662 rev3 Analog has a bug, it only works with 48 khz but also announces 44.1
Therefore go to Audio Settings and choose "Fixed" Output, set samplerate to 2.0 and if you have 5.1 analog speakers to 5.1 - if not choose 2.0

Really appreciate. Problem resolved.
