[CentOS] I'm still there ... test builds on private server (drivers, mesa, fixes)
Hello Guys, I'm still allive, but humbled by real lifetime. My personal test stuff moved out to a new server, with more harddrive space. http://www.centos.cms4all.org/ Repo http://centos.cms4all.org/repo/7/ My HP Notebook got some bios problem. I got a new machine with updated processor. That's why I upgrade my repo. Drivers: xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-20.20161118.el7.centos.src.rpm (More stable on intel p520 against the old HP with intel 5500 installation - got video glitches before). nouveau 1.0.13 ati 7.8 amdgpu 1.20 libva-intel-driver 1.73 libva 1.73 libdrm2.4.74 Mesa: mesa 13.0.2 + llvm 3.8 Kernel: Vanilla kernel-4.8.11 - feel very difficult with it, because of harddrives..hm I will see. Wine: wine-1.8.5 (still need to update requirements) wine-stage 1.9.23 (compiled with my drivers and mesa repo) - gallium 9 + staging + steam - update requirements - Tested: World of Warcraft, Gildwars 2, Tera - HD 6870 , HD 6970 with gallium. intel p520 performce slower, but works. winetricks Other: gimp 2.8.18 (table release) Media: Makemkv 1.10.2 That's it for no. PS: My packages are not signed as always - private work state. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] New laptop recomendation
Hi Tony, I've installed CentOS7 on a Latitude 7470 and can say for a fact that most of the suff just works, while some of it that doesn't (like HDMI, or KMS, nifty little feature I like to have) works with an Elrepo LT or ML kernels. Personally, I'd recommend the LT kernel. I also read in the RHEL 7.3 release notes that I2C support for Gen6 mobile CPUs was introduced. Thus as the time passes, say 6 months from now, one should be able to drop the LT/ML kernel in favor of the stock RHEL/CentOS kernel. On a side note, the Latitude design/sturdiness impressions were much better than that of a Lenovo X1 Carbon gen4. Regards, Milos.

Re: [CentOS] New laptop recomendation
I think you need 4.4 lts kernel, for example elrepo lts. I run this time 4.8.11 with i3 6100 HP Laptop on my own special repo (Test envoirement). X11 uses a git version for the intel graphic card. If you are not a beginner. You can take a view :-) Sincerely Andy [cms4all-drivers] name=cms4all-drivers baseurl=http://centos.cms4all.org/repo/7/drivers/ #baseurl=file:///srv/repo/centos/7/drivers gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 [cms4all-kernel] name=cms4all-kernel baseurl=http://centos.cms4all.org/repo/7/kernel/ #baseurl=file:///srv/repo/centos/7/kernel gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] CentOS 7, PS-2 moose
I just built a workstation, CentOS 7, fully updated. My user requires his three-button mouse, telling me that imaging software is written for three-button mice (so *please* don't tell me to tell him to get a new mouse). Anyway, no cursor. In both /var/log/messages and journalctl, I see "unable to enable mouse". What I read in messages and manpages is that PS-2 is default standard... anyone have any ideas? I need to resolve this asap... so I can get onto making sure his research imaging software running on CentOS 7. mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If it's not recognized for some reason, then the solution is to get him a new mouse. I know that's not what you want to hear, but there are numerous multi-button mice around that work fine. I have a Logitech M510 wireless mouse with two standard buttons on the top, a scroll wheel, and two more buttons on the left side. All of those inputs are recognized, including both cranking the scroll wheel and clicking it. You can use the xev command to test things like mice and see what is being seen by the system when doing things like clicking mouse buttons. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

First testing the mouse on a "older" comp, does it work there? Next testing, does the PS/2 plug hole on the new board work? Some of the newer boards only work with keyboards on PS/2. On testing, if the mouse works, there are adapters "PS/2 female" to "USB Type A male" on Amazon for a few Bucks, that may be a way to work around a non-fuctional or missing PS/2 plug-hole. - Yamaban. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
