1358916 - Blacklist D2D for GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS

Status: REOPENED

Description

Attachment: screencast.gif

I have an old computer with an old NVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS graphics card.

I installed Windows 10 on this PC. It uses the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter because NVIDIA didn't release drivers for this card on Windows 10.

Firefox attempts to use Direct3D 11 with Direct2D 1.1. However, this produces awful artifacts when scrolling.

Disabling D2D (gfx.direct2d.disabled = true) works just fine. So no need to disable D3D 11, only D2D.

This is the graphics info:

Comment 1

[Oriol Brufau [:Oriol]]

Interestingly, it seems either enabling e10s or bug 1325227 fixes the problem. Since it will land on Firefox 54, probably there is no need to do anything.

Comment 2

[Nicolas Silva [:nical]]

Sorry for reacting so late. Looks like the issue is resolved, please don't hesitate to reopen the bug if the problem happens again. The fact that bug 1325227 fixed this is a bit worrying.

Comment 3

[Oriol Brufau [:Oriol]]

Yes, this problem when scrolling is fixed. But occasionally I have seen some black artifacts, which might also be caused by D2D. I haven't found any way to reliably reproduce that, though.

Comment 4

[Oriol Brufau [:Oriol]]

This was regressed again by bug 1375743, which enabled layers.mlgpu.dev-enabled.
Enabling e10s or disabling D2D still solves the problem.

Comment 5

[Milan Sreckovic [:milan] (needinfo for best results)]

Oriol, what does about:support graphics look like now?  Do you still get the mismatch vendor message, and is it still showing Microsoft Basic with Nvidia vendor id?

The vendor mismatch is because it's a NVIDIA card (with vendor ID 0x10DE, see http://www.nvidia.com/object/device_ids.html) but it has Microsoft's drivers (with vendor ID 0x1414, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb205075(v=vs.85).aspx#WARP_new_for_Win8).

Seems fixed on Windows 10 version 1709. Now it says
>  - DirectWrite                 true (10.0.16299.15)
>  - Driver Version              10.0.16299.15

In another partition I haven't upgraded yet to 1709, and I still see the problem. There it's
>  - DirectWrite                 true (10.0.15063.483)
>  - Driver Version              10.0.15063.0

The driver date is still 6-21-2006 in both cases, despite it seems the version has been updated.

I thought D2D was at least dx10/11? Why would it be used for a dx9 card? With not even a proper accelerated driver, nonetheless?

P.s. I'm told last w8 driver should work just fine on w10 http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/82758

I think in the past I tried installing the Windows 8 driver, and then Firefox effectively used D3D9.
But if I don't manually install any driver, then Windows 10 uses Microsoft's driver, and Firefox uses D3D11 with D2D.

Comment 10

[mirh]

Well, something is obviously wrong if a 2006 driver is somehow asked to do DX11 stuff.
