Build : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100905 Firefox/4.0b6pre
With this build, the profile manager window is black.
Setting layers.accelerate-all to false does not change the behavior. Even after a restart.
The regression window is :

It's on by default no so you have to explicitly do accelerate-none. But your profile will not be loaded yet when the profile manager is shown. So the best idea is to start in safe mode while we figure out what the problem is!

Could you include some data on your GPU/monitor resolution(s) etc.?

I set layers.accelerate-all to false and layers.accelerate-none to true, and the problem still occurs.
I disabled HW acceleration in Options window and the problem still occurs.
In safe mode, the problem is gone.

Hrm, that would suggest accelerate-none is not working! We'll need to investigate. Updating your intel graphics drivers might work, although I don't see why this should give you big issues :(.
Comment 5•14 years ago
|

GMA devices including and under the GMA 4500 are basically fake Dx9 chips that lack TNL and do not have hardware vertex shaders, The drivers also expose caps that the chips don't even support.
Comment 6•14 years ago
|
||
sorry, the GMA X4500 is Dx10, there was no 4500(except in poor intel labelling).
the drivers are notorious for poor Dx9 caps compliance though.

With graphic driver version 8.15.10.2189, the problem still persists.
With build b6pre/20100904 and layers.accelerate-all set to true, there is no problem. That is why a regression window range is in comment 0.

Not only the profile window complete minefield is black. First appearance with an old GS7300 nVidia card but continues with Intel Controller (Clarkdale) (which has DX10 support according to GPU-Z).
System is WXP SP2/32

Same BUG here, I have to stick with the 20100903 build to avoid black screens problems.
With latest build, profile manager is permanently black whatever layers.accelerate-all status, and set it to false only prevent to get black screen too with the main windows (hopefully).
I'm using Windows 7 x64 with Intel drivers 8.15.10.2189, chipset is Intel G45, resolution 1920*1200, directX 10.
I can provide any information by request to help correcting this bug.
Comment 13•14 years ago

Here's my version of the problem.
I see the black window while starting Minefield (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100907 Firefox/4.0b6pre ID:20100907041859). Nothing draws, unusable. But if I hit Ctrl+T, everything starts coming back, and after a full window redraw (minimize/restore, or cover with other window), everything works as if nothing ever happened.
This is on a laptop with 965 express chipset.

Alternatively I can create a shortcut to a specific profile as a workaround for the black prof mgr window:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
and then change layers.accelerate-none to true (to prevent a black main-window in that profile)

Comment 19•14 years ago

Same here, b6pre/20100908 seems to solve this problem, black screens are gone.
However in about:support with "use hardware acceleration when available" set to ON, here the results :
Direct2D Enabled false
DirectWrite Enabledfalse
GPU Accelerated Windows 1/1 Direct3D 9
Some accelerations seems to stay off (it worked before).
But, as a note, I prefer much more this way, no acceleration but no problem ;-)

You are getting acceleration! Not Direct2D though, this is probably one of the blacklisting issues.

So, it's a good news if I'm getting a partial acceleration support without black screens issues.

Not sure if it's the same thing, but immediately after updating to http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/8e0fce7d5b49 my entire Firefox window turned black, then after scrolling reappeared and then quit responding. Then my TV hooked up via VGA cable quit receiving output for a second. Not a problem with my computer because it just started happening recently and only in Firefox.

It is not an Intel issue, see comment 32 and bug 595471.
D3D is enabled by default on Win2000/WinXP and D3D seems to cause this issue.
Does anybody with WinVista/Win7 have this issue ?

I do not have a very good explanation as to why it is so broken for you! But we definitely need to figure this out.

Total shot in the dark, but did Bas's checkins this weekend change any behaviour here?
Comment 39•14 years ago

We're back to the previous behaviour now - the initial black window on both the Profile Manager and initial window creation still occur, but resizing does make everything viewable again.

Of interest is that I can't fix the interior of the Profile Window with a minimize or partial covering with another window, which does fix the initial startup browser window interior... which is probably the same behaviour as before.

Joe, we should move forward with this a bit:
The regression range for this issue is between http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/bd474ff6f86c and http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/fd13b6ce36bd.
My rough guess is one of these there: bug 593618, bug 581212, bug 593275. We should check if some of these (or other bug) is a culprit and if we can fix it or back something out to figure out.
When I wake up my laptop from standby, Firefox doesn't redraw at all after all attempts and I have to restart it. Quit blocking from my POW.

Bas,
I have been experiencing this bug with an Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset where the initial window content and chrome is black. After some scrolling, use of menus and interaction with toolbars everything is redrawn properly.
I tested the try build from comment 47 and it made no difference to this behaviour.

OK, 0x0046 is Intel Mobile HD Graphics (4500 family).

That would be inaccurate, considering we haven't got a single Intel machine in house with Windows XP that reproduces this problem.

UH? I don't get the point here. For "Graft Box submitters" I mean "Firefox trunk/beta users who installed Graft Box add-on, run the test suite and then submitted it to Mozilla".

Oh right, I understand what you mean, I don't think a lot of people experiencing the issue of their browser being completely unusable will be submitting Grafxbot though. So the actual percentage will be higher than that.
Comment 67•14 years ago

After talking with Bas for a while on IRC, I'll just start throwing all the info I can think of to see if anything helps.
First, test environment, it's the same as comment 13, but now correctly reported after bug 594976 got fixed (except for bug 591787).
It's an HP laptop Pavilion 6700.
According to CPU-Z, the mainboard manufacturer is Quanta, model 30CC(79.2E), chipset GM965 REV C0, southbridge is Intel 82801HBM (IC8-ME).
Bios from Hewlett Packard F.58 dated 2008-06-16 (latest according to HP).
I'll upload later the GPU info informed by GPU-Z.
It's all tested using a rather clean profile, no extensions, no session saving, and all the history gets deleted on close. So I can start from scratch every time.
Build Id is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20100929 Firefox/4.0b7pre ID:20100929041446.
Now to the real info...
If i start firefox, everything is black (if menubar is active, I can see the title bar). Tabs on top/bottom makes no difference.
Switching windows doesn't help, resizing doesn't help either.
The only thing I've found that makes it all work again is opening a new tab.
After the new tab is open, Chrome and content start drawing as soon as they are invalidated, so switching windows makes everything go back to normal.
It stays ok until I close firefox, no known glitches/crashes.
A few weird things, if I open a new window (Ctrl+N) while main window is still black, new window is black too. If I open a new tab (Ctrl+T) in any of the windows, both start working ok.
I don't know what's the magic behind this "new tab", but it's really strange.
HTH.
Pablo.

This is to show how the new things get invalidated. You'll see that I'm using some userchrome.css to change the size of tabs, but removing it doesn't change the results

Was a fix pushed?
After updating to today's build (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20100929 Firefox/4.0b7pre Firefox/4.0b7pre ID:20100929041446) Minefield started without any problems on my Intel graphics system. No black window, no paint errors, everything fine. On the previous build there were black windows and painting errors.
Comment 72•14 years ago
|

A fix was pushed blacklisting lots of old Intel drivers that were known to crash.
If you upgrade your Intel driver to the latest from intel.com you won't be blacklisted, so you'll get HW acceleration --- but that means that you might hit bugs again.

If you didn't update your driver, I'm pretty sure it was just blacklisted, not solved. Please check about:support to see if it shows still 1/1 or 0/1. My guess is that your case is the same as comment 71

RNicoletto,
If you get the graphic info with a new profile, D3D9 is declared as disabled and should not, please see bug 600625 which is for the moment only Windows 2003 and add a comment.
If you get this info in safe mode, then it is normal.

Just found another workaround. If the menubar is hidden pressing the firefox button makes everything start drawing. But if menubar is active, pressing alt, or clicking on it, or opening the system menu doesn't change anything and everything stays black.
I probably should add that this testing profile uses about:blank as a home page and doesn't do session restore. My regular profile, which has session restore active, stays black for a few seconds, and then redraws the entire window normally.

Wow, this is pretty big news, because this means that we're actually able to draw stuff on this graphics card/driver. I wonder what is triggered by your workaround.

I have no idea what a new tab or opening the firefox button may do, but certainly works, and after that, everything is like nothing ever happened. If everything is ok, tomorrow Bas is going to try to do a remote debug from my machine, to see if he can find anything, Fingers crossed!!

RNicoletto, once you get to the point where anything is drawn, the rest just needs to be invalidated. So,when you get to the point of the last image in comment 82, switching to another window and returning to firefox should just work.
Please confirm. Thanks

Confirmed. (almost)
Initial painting (KO - as per comment 82) ==> http://yfrog.com/j1bug1ltp
2nd painting (OK - as per comment 84) ==> http://yfrog.com/5cbug2tp
Now, look what happens if after initial painting I switch to a window app SMALLER than Firefox window:

I debugged this with the help of Honza today. It seems Intel drivers on XP may not always initialize shader constants to 0. Since we rely on them being initialized to 0 for RenderTargetOffset this breaks some things. Manually setting this will fix it!
