Say thankyou to your controller, it lets you not use the crap fake-raid.
That stuff (no matter what chipset) is the worst thing that could have
been invented.

I strongly suggest turning off that feature in bios and to use kernel
raid, debian-installer should help you setting it up.

Re: nvidia driver ( GeForce FX 5500 gives 10fps)

2005-08-04 Thread Michal Hajek
Hello :)

I get 10 fps with glxgears. My resolution is 1024x768. I simply run
glxgears and observe the result in the terminal. Except this, I have
only one other xterm running, bacground xearth and wmaker. But that
should not be a problem.  

In /proc/cpuinfo I have:

model name  : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ 

As for /var/log/XFree86.0.log --- I do not see anything strange there,
but I admit I do not quite understand all of it. I have included the log
at the end of this email.

I have not set anything strange in nvidia-settings. 

Actually, it looks to me like 3D acceleration is not working properly. I
have checked xscreensaver-demo and screensavers like molecule or
moebius and these run very slowly. 

Best regards
Michal

 Hi there,

I just installed a new debian amd64 system and wanted to

 an x.org based system instead of installing xfree and then

 It seems x.org is not in etch, and in sid x.org is broken, when
 installing xserver-xorg it gives:

 expr: non-numeric argument


Maybe it is a problem with debconf.
1.4.52 was OK, 1.4.53 and 54 broken, 1.4.55 is fine.
As xserver-xorg uses debconf to setup xorg.conf, maybe the problem was  
there.





 Is this going to be fixed or is it better for the time being to keep
 xfree86?

Hello :)

 What does glxinfo | grep vendor give?

glxinfo | grep vendor
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation

 There are also some known issues with the 5xx0 series behaving very 
 slowly in some setups without side band addressing and fast writes 
 enabled - try googling for how.

I will do that for sure. I have already been gogling for my problem, but
I did not get anything which would be somehow usefull (which could be a
more problem with my understanding of how graphics works).  However, I
have already seen 3D acceleration work very fast on my mashine
(thousands fps in glxgears!) But than I have tried to compile rivatv [1]
which does not work with nvidia drivers, so I had to switch to nv
driver in Xfree. Than in the meantime I installed gmsh which depends on
libmesa-gl, which I have installed as well and maybe I messed up
something alse. Anyway, finaly I ended up with a mashine where neither
rivatv neither 3d acceleration with nvidia driver works.  This is quite
annoying. Luckily enough, I can run other x aplications, which I need
for work :)

To be 100% perfectly clear, yes you are wrong.

In the case of all the SATA chipsets which provide BIOS RAID (which is
like, all of them) the regular libata drivers will not see the array
created in the bios, they will simply ignore it.

If you really must use it, you can use dm-raid to get chipset specific
support.  But you should only do that if you need to share a RAID array
with Windows.  Otherwise, use the in-kernel software MD driver.

 Even if this is not really belonging here (but might still be a hint for a
 solution), Windows XP (32 bit) crashes completely, before I am able to
 create/ select a partition, no matter if the sil drivers are loaded or not.
Are you loading the right driver off a floppy?

Adam

 Note: This does *NOT* change anything with regard to inclusion of amd64
 into the official Debian archive. Not a single bit! It is *completly*
 isolated from that. Any flames in that direction: Sent it to me, not to
 any ftp-master! (Or better: Dont flame, be productive and fix RC Bugs!)

 BTW, what is exactly the status of the amd64 inclusion (no flame, just
 curious, also as what we are now supposed to tell others about this), and why
 do people write to the ppc64 mailing list on alioth about amd64 questions ? Is
 there not a more adapted amd64 mailing list for that ? 

 Mmm, maybe you are not the best person to ask about this or something, but i
 guess the people in charge or knowledgeable will jump in and reply or
 something :)

The Alioth ppc64 project also hosts the Amd64 gcc-3.4/4.0 archive that
Andreas compiled. Questions related to archive problems or bugs only
present there were redirected to the ppc64 list by at least me and
probably more debian-amd64 people.

Maybe Andreas can give a little status update for the archive. With
sid having the new compiler the amd64 part of the archive becomes
quickly redundant. I guess after the C++ transition it can cease to
exist.

Yes, when the C++ transition is complete, the amd64/gcc4 archive will
have served its purpose. I do not see any reason to continue the
amd64/gcc4 archive after that. 

I plan to switch to gcc-4.1 soon and check which packages have problems 
to compile with gcc-4.1, but I do not think that there will be a need 
for a public gcc-4.1 archive.

The ppc64 archive on alioth will be continued. Because gcc-4.0 is
the default compiler now, the number of patched packages in the ppc64
archive can be reduced significantly. Many ppc64 related patches have 
already been applied by the Debian maintainers or by upstream. The ppc64 
archive will soon be able to use the unpatched debian sources. 
Currently, almost 95% of the Debian source packages have been built for
ppc64.
