Description Aaron W. Swenson gentoo-dev 2017-11-08 12:26:12 UTC
Created attachment 503098 [details, diff]
4.9-to-4.12-config.diff

When playing EVE Online on Wine with gentoo-sources 4.12.* or 4.13.*, rendering hangs (FPS drops to zero) on mouse movement. When I stop moving the mouse, the rendering is restored back to ~75 FPS.

If I click and hold to drag windows or move the camera, rendering is unaffected.

This issue is not present when booting with 4.9.*.

The only difference I can see is the introduction of USB_PCI being required to enable UHCI, without which both my keyboard and mouse are inactive on boot.

Hardware:
  Mouse: Elecom EX-G Wired Trackball Mouse

Not mine, but a video clip that illustrates what I mean:

Is this still an issue with later kernels?

Just did 4.14.52 using the .config from 4.9.72 and it is still an issue.
Comment 4 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2018-07-03 12:17:13 UTC
This is weird.  Anything in dmesg or Xorg log. Is this only in Wine with Eve? what about other games? 

Does the mouse move normally no matter what?

Yes, it is incredibly weird.

I can't look at dmesg or xorg.log at the moment as I've gone back to 4.9, but I'll take a look tomorrow.

I only have the one game, but if there's a free one you have in mind I'm willing to give it a go.

I don't think I've tried vanilla-sources either, so I should try that, too, to see if it's something we've done or upstream.

I've tried vanilla sources 4.14, and I'm still hit with the same problem.

Going back to 4.9.1xx resolves it.
