1277751 - Black content, with error messages in Failure Log: CP+[GFX1-]: Detected rendering device reset on refresh

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1275798

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Kelsey Gilbert [:jgilbert]]

Attachment: about:support "Graphics"

GPU: AMD Radeon (TM) R9 390 Series

In case it becomes relevant, this is on a system with three monitors. (two 60Hz, one 90Hz with and without FreeSync)

Nothing seems to be in the failure log when it's working properly. However, once the content starts flashing, then staying black. Occasionally a pop-over image will show through when triggered by the mouse. (hover-over => pop-over zoomed image, as on Amazon product images)

This makes Firefox unusable on some sites, since it triggers relatively quickly, though non-deterministicly, on at least Amazon.

Looks from that log we're having a device reset.. we must still not always be dealing with it properly when using e10s. Since you have a machine that can reproduce it we should probably figure out why we're not properly recreating everything on that machine when the device resets.

I've built gecko on that machine, so I'll dive in a bit tomorrow.

"spam" in the title suggests these messages aren't useful :)

This is likely a duplicate of bug 1275798
