Re: fglrx-driver: 3D too slow
Am Montag, 10. Juli 2006 11:13 schrieb Hans-J. Ullrich: Hi all, I have luckily installed the newest acceleration driver from ATI. 3D works, but is rather slow. As for one time I had fast acceleration, I suppose, it is a configuration problem. Maybe the agp-driver from the kernel might cause this. If I build the debian packages with sh ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86_64.run --buildpkg Debian/testing I don't get a correct fglrx-kernel-src_8.26.18-1_amd64.deb, the directory 2.6 is missed, and it's not possible to create the fbdev fglrx kernel module. This might be the reason cause your display runs slow. if you don't have a correct kernel module. -- mit freundlichem Gruss -- regards Thomas Drillich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: ati vs nvidia, how to tell if sleep is supported
Am Sonntag, 26. März 2006 17:22 schrieb Tamas K Papp: Hi, I need to get a new notebook in the near future, and want an AMD Turion. At the moment I am trying to narrow down the search, I found some reasonably priced Asus, MSI and HP models. Some models come with Nvidia cards, some with ATI. On linux forums I was told that I should avoid ATI because their attitude about Linux support (especially for 64bit). Is Nvidia better in this respect? Should I prefer one over the other? I am not doing any gaming, but sometimes rely on OpenGL for data visualization. Another thing I am concerned about is sleep (suspend to RAM). Some Turion notebooks are pretty new and not all of them have a writeup at tuxmobil/linux-laptop.net, so I don't know if sleep works. How can one tell that by the specifications? Which component does sleep support depend on, the BIOS, the chipset, the graphics card? Anything to watch out for --- are there sleep problems with Nvidia/ATI?

Re: Hello! from a newbie+ problems with debian for amd64+can't boot debian for i386 on amd64 from cd+can't extract sbm.bin from cd

I've been wanting gradually move to linux for years, but was afraid because, due to academic requierements (specific applications I *must* use), I still need to have winXP installed on my computer for some time to come. I tried dual boot with Suse and it was more or less ok, but I preferred two independent hard drives. One reason is that Debian was the distribution I most looked forward to trying, but I had heard that partitions, dual boot and several other issues could be tricky. I've recently bought a new computer, and decided it was the time to put my scheme into practice. I felt adventurous, so I also decided to move from intel and give amd a try :D 1) Why don't I have permission to extract the sbm.bin file? How can I solve that? Don't think its a good way to trying to extract something, may you've burned your cd in a wrong way. Did you setup your burning software in the correct way to create a bootable image ? 2) I there another way to install Sarge for i-386 that works in my computer, apart from booting from the installation cd? I 3) How can I use kde instead of Gnome as a GUI? (some say it works better) is in sid, runs on my machine very well, standard install from debian packages. Again, my kindest greetings to everyone, sorry for every piece of missing information or dumb questions. if you are a real newby, you may wait until december. As I knew debian etch should be finished in december, and there amd64 should be one of the standard supported systems. -- mit freundlichem Gruss -- regards Thomas Drillich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

With an X300 (and Radeon = 9250) you should have 3D acceleration too - thanks to the capital-F Free drivers written by ATI and included as part of the kernel/Xfree/Xorg. The low-end Radeons and Intel i8xx/i9xx are my graphics chipsets of choice for this reason. isn't x300 newer (advanced) than x200 ? what is your setup of your graphics in xorg.conf ?

X86_64 on Shuttle-XPC ST20G5
Hello, debian runs on that machine but suboptimal, here are some notes I send to the manufacturer support: sata support: sata_uli If the raid switch is turned off in the bios, the linux kernel module sata_uli detects the hard disc only after a second load. Only if the bios switch for raid is turned on its possible to boot from sata drive. In both modes it's not possible to detect my Plextor PX-716SA sata dvd-writer. The company ULI offers sata module for older kernels (current is 2.6.14) on their website, but on the need to boot from sata drive the module must be included in the kernel and cannot be loaded afterwards. usb: My Logitech mouse at the usb port flickers, the drivers where constantly loded and and unloaded. At first it seems like a break inside the mouse cable, but I could elimate that, by using that mouse at another computer. Therefore it must be a bug in the usb driver, take a look at the syslog abstract below to see how that makes the use of a mouse at that port impossible. sound: With snd-hda-intel module for the Realtech ALC 880 sound component of the ST20G5, only the Line out exit at the back is usable. Headphones and Microphone ports are unusable. acpi: The kernel could only start with acpi and apic off, otherwise the kernel stops at boot. Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda2 bootkbd=qwertz/de acpi=off noapic ro console=tty0 ATI XPress 200 graphics: Currently the usage of X is only possible with the standard vesa module of the Xorg 6.8.2 server. If I use the ati fglrx driver the monitor flickers on every redraw, a multiple horizontal movement of the contents on the Monitor on every update of contents inside a window.
