[Xorg-driver-geode] Rendering issue update

[Huang, FrankR]

Hi,all

I am now using the rendercheck application from freedesktop to test the rendering issue of geode driver. Many guys suggested me use this program to test our driver¡¯s rendering issue and do the bugs fixed. Now it is time to do that after I am clear of the XRenderComposite() usage by my Xlib application.

That rendercheck application is a huge test on render. But we can use some specific tests(options) on our driver. Now following the suggestion on xorg-devel guy, I want to use blend and composite test with SRC, then OVER¡­ That could give more information and full tests on our driver to fix bugs.

By the way, I have modified the cairo library source code to let XRenderComposite() display the whole process of progressbar drawing on the screen instead of pict. Please see 15700 bug on freedesktop.

 

 

Thanks,

Frank

Hi, all

            

            For the rendering issue, I have written a simple Xlib program that triggers geode HW rendering( lx_do_composite() ). What the application does is as below :

1)       It creates a 100x100 window (color: white) for the destination picture

2)       It creates a picture of 1x1 with the format PICT_x8r8g8b8(color: green) for the source picture, the source picture has the repeat attribute.

3)       It creates a picture of 20x20 with the format PICT_a8(only alpha value to do alpha blend) for the mask picture.

4)       Call the XRenderComposite() to trigger. The dst_x and dst_y are all 50, width and height are all 40. the mask_x and mask_y are all 5. So the alpha blend green region is 15x15

See the result of Radeon_X1200.png. It is the standard result. Run on my RS690/SB600 workstation. The rending function FUNC_NAME(RadeonComposite) on X1200 will be called. 

 

            Because our driver can only support limit rendering, I choose this test case. This will use lx_do_composite() in the geode LX. I don¡¯t know why our driver must require the pSrc->width and pSrc->height with value of 1 in lx_prepare_composite(). I follow this requirement in this application. You can see the HW rendering result with the picture of Geode_lx.png on geode platform. Apparently, there must be some HW rendinging bug in our driver. I will use this program instead of the progressbar gtk application to go on debugging.

 

            Source code is in render_test.zip. 

            You can compiled it with ¡°gcc ¨Cg ¨Cv ¨CWall ¨Co render main.c ops.c tests_10x10.c ¨CLxxx ¨ClX11 ¨ClXrender¡±

 

            With the help of this application¡¯s debug, we will close to the root cause of this long-long ago historical rendering bug on geode platform.

 

 

Thanks,

Frank
