           Summary: [r300g] xscreensaver hack "antspotlight" reveals
                    something other than desktop
           Product: Mesa
           Version: git
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Drivers/DRI/r300
        AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org

What the ant saw...

The xscreensaver hack "antspotlight" is supposed to depict an ant with a
spotlight on its head wandering over your desktop in the dark. The idea is that
the ant reveals little patches of your desktop as it wanders around.

With r300g and my RV350, the ant is most definitely not revealing my desktop.
(Not this time, anyway. It seems to be random.)

The screensaver shows my wallpaper gallery rather than my desktop, but the
images look all right here.

The choice of image looks random to me. Try running another OpenGL application,
and then rerunning the screensaver. I tried reproducing this bug last night and
at first I thought it was fixed. But then I played WoW for a bit and tried
again...

This depends on the 'Image Manipulation' settings on the 'Advanced' tab of
xscreensaver-demo.

Unfortunately, yes. Although it does seem to happen a lot less often now.

I just tested this with the latest version from git, and it appears to be
working.  Can you confirm this?

Sorry, it's not fixed yet. I ran antspotlight about 5 times in succession and
the problem reoccurred. It did work the first few times, though.

Does it work with llvmpipe?

It works with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1, if that's what you mean.

Doesn't this seem to be some sort of race condition?

The screensaver needs to do a "screenshot" to display on the floor. If it
captures the screenshot too late, it gets its own image instead of the desktop
image...

It works with both the r600g (faster than r300g) and swrast (slower than r300g)
drivers, though. So whatever the problem is, it does appear to be with the
r300g driver.

I have created two apitraces, one for antspotlight working correctly and the
other for antspotlight not working. (It was more difficult to get antspotlight
to misbehave with apitrace installed, but obviously not impossible).

Unfortunately, the files are far too big to attach here, even after bzip2:

 4726693 Sep 28 11:54 antspotlight-good.trace.bz2
10403215 Sep 28 11:57 antspotlight-bad.trace.bz2

Can I send them to your private email address instead, please?

I ran the bad apitrace you sent me, and it looked the same on r300g and
llvmpipe.  I'm leaning toward this being a bug in xscreensaver, rather than in
the driver.  You might want to ask the developers of xscreensaver to take a
look, they will probably have a better idea of what is happening.

When you replay these traces, do you consistently get good results with the
'good' trace and bad results with the 'bad' trace?

Yes. The captured image representing my desktop must be stored within the trace
file.

I tend to agree. I notice that the antspotlight window appears briefly and then
disappears again while the desktop contents are grabbed. The way this is done
might not guarantee that it can't pick up the contents of the antspotlight
window before it disappears.

I've been able to reproduce it with the classic r300 driver as well.

This appears to be an issue with xscreensaver and not a driver bug.  I
recommend notifying the xscreensaver developers.
