[Bug 11470] New: Starting a wine app causes Xorg to reprobe video outputs ( which is visually distracting for some types of displays)
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11470 Summary: Starting a wine app causes Xorg to reprobe video outputs (which is visually distracting for some types of displays) Product: Wine Version: 0.9.54. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: vanvugt(a)gmail.com Reproduced in 0.9.54 but this has been a problem for me for a very long time. OS is Ubuntu 7.10 i386 Hardware is an IBM ThinkPad T60 (intel graphics driver) Starting virtually any wine app causes Xorg to reprobe it's outputs (proof is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log), which on my laptop is the same as running "xrandr". This results in the VGA signal being interrupted and my (main) external display flashing uncontrollably. This only happens in wine apps, and with the xrandr command (which is meant to do it). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

However I've never seen this before on any of my hardware. Might be a deficiency in your display driver. Or the setup. Not sure what we can do about this. Leaning towards losing it as wontfix. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11470 --- Comment #2 from Daniel van Vugt <vanvugt(a)gmail.com> 2008-02-07 22:43:08 --- I'm actually glad wine is using xrandr, but the real question is: Why does it do the probe 3-4 times when I start some wine apps, and again for every wine app started after that? Surely the probe doesn't need to happen more than once. Running "xrandr" only causes one probe but wine does many. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11470 --- Comment #3 from Daniel van Vugt <vanvugt(a)gmail.com> 2008-02-09 10:50:21 --- Suggestion: Perhaps change the Summary of this bug to "Wine probes xrandr too many times, and repeatedly in some apps, causing screen flashing with some X11 drivers" I think this is more reasonable. It's not uncommon for a video output to flash once when probed. It's just a little too much if that probe is triggered repeatedly (as wine does). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I have not looked at the code closely, but let's see if we can reduce the amount of flickering. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

The log shows that Wine just queries resolution modes supported by a driver, nothing more. It does it twice though, for notepad and explorer, but that's perfectly fine. If a simple query makes your screen flicker, that's a bug either in your display driver, or perhaps a side effect of compiz. Does the screen flicker when you run 'xrandr' in a terminal window? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

You're right, xrandr is restarting the display. (executing xandr restarts display once). I'll follow the trail that way.
