[Bug 584714] [NEW] Radeon 2600XT poor performance after suspend-to-ram

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Up-to-date 10.04. Fresh Install.

ATI Radeon 2600XT. Open-source driver. Kernel modesetting enabled
(assumed from the 1440x900 plymouth resolution)

This is an r600 card, so lucid is the first release with open-source 3D.
While the performance isn't great at the best of times, it is quite
usable even under Extra Effects.

However, occasionally after suspend-to-ram/resume, performance becomes
terrible (although still barely usable - typing this bug in the bad
state). Moving windows causes tearing, even typing occasionally locks up
for a few seconds. Opening menus is painful.

Potentially useful things I have noticed:
 - Enabling/Disabling "Special Effects" has no effect on the problem.
 - GLXGears prints a normal fps value when in the bad state, and it's rendering is fine as well.
 - Each 'action' only hiccups once: start typing and it will lock for a few seconds, catch up, and be fine. However, if your typing cursor leaves that text field and reenters it, the hiccup will happen again.
 - During each hiccup, X uses 80+ percent of CPU.
 - I've found no correlation between the occurrence of this problem and:
 - - applications open during the suspend
 - - time between suspend and resume
 - - peripheral devices plugged in during suspend/resume
 - I have never noticed this issue on a fresh boot.
