Display Engine question

[Slackstick]

From Zadors reply to

I learned there is a Video Engine for Video, Mali for 3d and a Display Engine for 2d. I used an old version of armbian on OPi PC (h3disp had no 4k option) . Moving desktop windows was very fast. In current desktop release legacy 3.4.113 moving large windows is very slow. So I guess Display Engine is not working correctly. How can I determine if it works? Mainline version gives me no display at all.

 

Thanks.

There is no 2D acceleration on H3, so DE either works as is or doesn't work at all.

Performance difference may be caused by missing or misconfigured fbturbo xorg driver, different window manager settings, different CPUfreq settings or simply lowered DRAM frequency.

Providing Xorg.0.log from /var/log/ and output of "armbianmonitor -u" may provide some useful logs.

[Slackstick]

Below are the logs.

Speed difference is significant.

X11SHM even is faster with new version.

 

These two lines of /var/log/Xorg.0.log look suspicious to me:

[    17.987] (II) FBTURBO(0): G2D hardware acceleration can't be enabled

As I said, there is no 2D acceleration on H3, so these messages are correct.

Mode 28 is 3840x2160P30. What display mode did you use before? If it was 720p or 1080p it's not a surprise that moving windows or similar operations will be much slower.

[Slackstick]

Monitor and display setting say it is still 1080P60 (and it definitely is 1080). Same as before.

This is from old dmesg. Of course, I tested mode 28, but mode 10 is also significantly slower than before. And with significantly I mean I which to only move the frame of the window and not the complete window.

Tested it myself - looks like simply HW performance limitation (since it affects mostly "heavy" applications like Firefox and LibreOffice), future releases should have "Hide content of windows when moving and when resizing" turned on by default (you can enable those options in Menu - Settings - Window Manager - Advanced

what about H5 ? Is there anything that can be optimized/implemented in current armbian images to improve desktop performance or is this it ?

A little bit of DRAM overclocking, CPU overclocking and setting governor to performance may improve things a little bit, but lowering expectations for cheap ARM based boards will be more helpful in this situation.

DRM display driver and fresh Mali driver with xf86-video-armsoc X11 module may improve some things too, but it's a matter of waiting, and it may take a year or more to appear in the final form. For the reference - even 1st gen DE (A10/A20) doesn't have DRM driver with HDMI support yet!

Moving desktop windows was very fast. In current desktop release legacy 3.4.113 moving large windows is very slow.

Glad I am not crazy :-)

 

With current mainline, moving of the terminal window is very fast. Moving of any other window with same size is quite slow.
