Yes, I have one and it works fine.


I have installed all pertinent kernel-sources, kernel-headers, etc. The
 nvidia installer compiles the driver with no problem but then it
 complains about installing the nvidia module.  There are symbols that
 are unrecognized.  Nvidia warns that this is usually due to incorrect
 libs or kernel headers but I have all matching versions installed as
 prerequisite.  So I am at a loss.  I am hoping someone has figured out
 why nvidia's installer fails.


I build my own Linux kernels (with make-kpkg so they end up being debian
packages). Right now I'm running 2.6.11 and the nvidia installer worked
fine after I patched it with the cumulative patch listed here:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46676

There are also debs for the nvidia drivers in non-free, if you want to
go that route. I've never used them but I'd expect them to work fine.

Re: Anyone uses the Gigabyte GA K8-NS Pro ?

 I'd very much appreciate comments on this board, since this is my

 Thanks in advance!
 Best regards,
 Hannes.
 

It might be that nobody here is using that motherboard.

When researching a motherboard to determine linux compatability, I
always find a list of compoents and use make menuconfig or google to
see if each component's chipset is supported (when I don't know
already). Searching google for k8-ns pro reveals this page:
http://www.mainboard.cz/mb/gigabyte/GA-K8NSPro.htm

I'll answer the ones I know for you; I'm sure you can dig up the rest if
someone else doesn't have firsthand experience.

 GA-K8NS Pro
 nForce3 250 chipset

I've been using an nforce3 250 board since December without a hitch.

 Processor
 Socket 754 for AMD Athlon64

This goes without saying...

 Super I/O: ITE IT8712F chip

lm_sensors supports this. Works fine for me.

 Silicon Image sil3512 controller

I'm pretty sure this is supported in recent kernels.

 GigaRAID ATA 133 RAID controller

I don't know.

 T.I. IEEE1394 controller

If this uses the PCILynx chip then it's supported.

 Marvell 8001 Gigabit Ethernet controller

The sk98lin driver supports this.

 Realtek ALC850 Audio AC'97 Codec

Recent versions of alsa should support this too.

Well, I was thinking to abolish the chroot entirely.
Say my i386 Debian Sarge is mounted on /os/deb32. Then, having configured
the ldconfig, just launch ooffice (or any other tools not available in
amd64 yet) as /os/deb32/usr/bin/ooffice -- no bind mount, no dchroot, no
various sym-links.
theoretically, should it work?
Running ooffice outside the chroot should work fine.  It's the same 
principle as the ia32-libs package.  I have ia32-libs (which isn't even 
a full chroot) installed and /emul/ia32-linux/lib and 
/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib in my ldconfig, and running openoffice works 
fine without having to chroot or anything.

Thank you for the hint. There was indeed something wrong.
It seems that since a few days the packages I built were not
properly uploaded into the gcc-3.4 archive (A 'mv' command 
in a script that I use did not work. It had an 'argument list

2005-03-06 Thread Jens Vogel
Hi James,
Can you please also post the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4?
As far as I can see from here either the compilation went wrong or the 
XF86Config-4 contains a mistake.

With the XF86Config-4 I made the best experiences with removing or 
commenting the following lines from 'Section Module':
- Load	GLcore (at least this one is active according to your log)
- Load	dri
Also the complete 'Section DRI' (if exists) needs to be commented.

As for the compilation... if you can find a relevant log, please post it 
as well.
This is quite some time ago for me, if I recall correctly `export 
CC=gcc-3.4' had to be set before you could start compiling. But I am 
absolutely not sure about this.
I followed the Method #1 from the README, of course the correct 
kernel-headers have to be installed:
# apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r`

I am running Sid/Pure64 w/ 2.6.10-9-amd64-k8 and the nVidia-driver is 
working fine. I still have the .deb file, but I am not sure whether it's 
legal to post it (if it would help you anyway).

Greets,
Jens

Re: Geforce FX 5900XT

2005-03-06 Thread James Titcumb
It appears that it is a mistake on my part... after checking Jen's reply 
carefully, I found out that somewhere between when I first started 
trying to install the nvidia drivers and now... my  kernel version had 
changed... previously, I had the correct headers 
(kernel-headers-2.6.8-10-amd64-k8), and I upgraded kernel to 
2.6.10-9-amd64-k8.

Stupid mistake, I know. I have just logged in, and the nvidia drivers 
work fine... I can finally use my second monitor :)

Thanks very much for both your help

Re: 2.6.11 and fglrx 8.10.19 (patch included)

2005-03-06 Thread Michael Wagener
Hi @all,

I used hints and older patches from this link:
http://web38.austria182.server4free.de/forum2/viewforum.php?f=5
It compiles with some warnings and runs at least on ia32. Cannot test on AMD64 
since
my MSI K8T Neo2 does not like my Sapphire Radeon 9600 TX (does not POST).
good luck,

Does anybody try to install the ati drivers fglrx 8.10.19 with the latest 
stable 2.6.11 Kernel.

I'm currently using the a 2.6.10 kernel with the fglrx-installer 8.10.19-1 
from flavio's pages. And it work great. Thanks flavio.

But the fglrx modules refuse to compile with a 2.6.11 kernel !
Ludovic
Don't worry , be happy.

 It might be that nobody here is using that motherboard.

I already feared that, but I wanted to get sure.

 When researching a motherboard to determine linux compatability, I
 always find a list of compoents and use make menuconfig or google to
 see if each component's chipset is supported (when I don't know
 already). Searching google for k8-ns pro reveals this page:
 http://www.mainboard.cz/mb/gigabyte/GA-K8NSPro.htm

ahh.. make menuconfig :-)
I do compile my own kernels, but I didn't have the idea to compare the
kernel config to the chipset! Thank you for the hint!

 I'll answer the ones I know for you; I'm sure you can dig up the rest if
 someone else doesn't have firsthand experience.

  nForce3 250 chipset
 
 I've been using an nforce3 250 board since December without a hitch.

Excellent!

  Processor
  Socket 754 for AMD Athlon64
 
 This goes without saying...
 
  Super I/O: ITE IT8712F chip
 
 lm_sensors supports this. Works fine for me.

Cool!

  Silicon Image sil3512 controller
 
 I'm pretty sure this is supported in recent kernels.

I don't use SATA drives in the near future, so this is not that
important currently, but as far as I've read it's supported.
 
  GigaRAID ATA 133 RAID controller
 
 I don't know.

As far as I've read, the nForce3 has an IDE/ATA controller. Is that
GigaRAID additional to the nForce3 controller, or does one need the
GigaRAID working in order to use a ATA disk ?
I grep'ed the kernel source and only found 8212 (GigaRAID uses the
ITE8212 chip) in /drivers/pci/pci.ids
Since I only found it in the PCI id's I think it's not supported ?
(otherwise it would appear somewhere in the source aswell ?)

  T.I. IEEE1394 controller
 
 If this uses the PCILynx chip then it's supported.

Don't use Firewire (yet)

  Marvell 8001 Gigabit Ethernet controller
 
 The sk98lin driver supports this.

Good, but I have 2 PCI network cards anyway.

  Realtek ALC850 Audio AC'97 Codec
 
 Recent versions of alsa should support this too.

Rock'n'roll!! ;-)

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Hannes.

Re: Instead of chroot for i386

Well, that's really encouraging, thanks a lot for the post!

Well, I was thinking to abolish the chroot entirely.

Say my i386 Debian Sarge is mounted on /os/deb32. Then, having configured
the ldconfig, just launch ooffice (or any other tools not available in
amd64 yet) as /os/deb32/usr/bin/ooffice -- no bind mount, no dchroot, no
various sym-links.

theoretically, should it work?

 Running ooffice outside the chroot should work fine.  It's the same 
 principle as the ia32-libs package.  I have ia32-libs (which isn't even 
 a full chroot) installed and /emul/ia32-linux/lib and 
 /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib in my ldconfig, and running openoffice works 
 fine without having to chroot or anything.

My understand that the solo reason for the i386 chroot to exist is to
avoid messing up 64bit and 32bit libraries. Is that so? 
Nope, it's because debian's packaging system isn't intelligent enough to 
handle two architectures in the same installation.

Linux can handle 32 and 64-bit libraries side by side at the same time 
just fine.
I'm running an i386 Debian Sarge perfectly well, and I have sufficient
spare partitions to test AMD64 Sarge. In this case, is it ok just to
append my i386 tool paths to the PATH and add i386 library paths to
ldconfig?
If you want, but I'd mount the whole tree and use it as a chroot.  For 
other reasons, you're going to want to bind mount certain portions of 
your 64bit install into the 32bit one or vice-versa, depending on which 
one is master.
To me, theoretically it should work, and it is much much simpler than
doing a brand new i386 chroot install. 
I don't think so.  The chroot'd install is really a slave install and 
doesn't need to be a full, bootable debian install (nor do you really 
want it to be),

Re: AudiglyLS sound

2005-03-06 Thread Brian R. Whitecotton
David,

I have tried exactly what alsa.opensrc.org has suggested and still alsaconf 
finds no pci sound devices.  alsa-base  and alsa-utils are installed, 
modules.conf and modutils shows all pertinent entries, modinfo soundcore 
shows soundcore is present and loadable...this is frustrating.
Any further insight that you may have would be very appreciated.

Brian
