RE: 2D,3D,nvidia,nv?
IMHO I don't see the point in having a GeForce 7300 GT unless you are at least enabling its power/capabilities. The 2D nv driver is fine but the nvidia driver is better. Sure you have to either compile from sources yourself or run the nvidia sh downloadable install but no more hassle than that. I recently went dual head using a dual DVI AGP 8x XFX GeForce 6800 Xtreme (didn't want to upgrade all hardware) with blah,blah,blah and when I installed the 3D, glxgears reports 10,890 FPS! Can't complain. The 2D is lightning fast. You can always try the 3D install and if you do not like it simply change a few lines in your xorg.conf file and you are back in 2D and no worse for the wear. I am afraid that the clear image you seek will be more a function of the quality of your display unit (CRT?, FPD?) rather than your video adapter or its configuration under xorg. For clarity you want highest resolution, lowest dot pitch, excellent contrast ratio and good brightness.

I'm running etch amd64 and installing xorg for the first time on this box. I have an Asus 7300GT video board that uses the nVidia GeForce 7300 GT chips. As I understand it (AIUI?), if I use the nv driver I get 2D hardware accel and if I use the nvidia driver (glx, kernel modules, et al) I get 3D accel. I don't do games. I've got a monitor that will do 1600x1280 75 Hz. I want a nice clear image for daily work. Later on (when I get a video capture card), I want to do some light video editing, watching TV, DVDs, etc. Do I need the 3D or other goodies of the nVidia driver or should I just go with the nv?

RE: 2D,3D,nvidia,nv?
The closed source nvidia driver, as much as it pains to say it, is better than the open source nv in that it enables the functionality of the Nvidia chipset whereas the nv driver minimizes detrimental impact on an otherwise extremely stable Debian system by limiting how much of the chipset functionality it accesses. If stability is what you want, then us the nv driver and you are pretty much insured a stable but less than optimal performing system. Having said that, the nv performance is probably all you need. As far as hardware mpeg4 (I think that is what you mean rather than jpeg?) acceleration, the nvidia chipsets have native video decoder hardware and my naïve guess is that BOTH the nv and nvidia drivers enable that. Anyone else out there want to confirm or correct. -Original Message- From: Douglas Tutty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 17, 2006 3:59 PM To: debian-amd64@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: 2D,3D,nvidia,nv?

Origionally, I set out to buy a cheap video card on the belief that I couldn't afford one that had the hardware jpeg conversion for watching video (yes I know that in the absence of hardware the software can do it). It turned out that this one was the chapest that my local store could get. It seems to be only missing the full hardware suite (it does some) for HD movies.

Try booting with a Knoppix CD. Let it correctly indentify the sound hardware, let it correctly load the modules and then inspect the configuration.

Re: driver nvidia
Daniele,
I recently had this problem solved thanks to the excellent help from Jens
Vogel who wrote to me the following:
Hi,
Basically there are four steps to follow if you want to get nVidia
support working. Non-free must be included in your sources.list.
1. apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-kernel-common
2. Follow the steps in
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian
3. apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings
4. Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Done.
Hope that helps,
Jens
Follow this and it will do the trick!
Brian (Thanks Jens!)

Re: Alsa Woes and AUDIGYLS (aka snd-ca0106)
David, Thank you for the info. I check both options out after work today. I appreciate it! Brian On Monday 07 March 2005 02:32 am, David Liontooth wrote: Brian, This all looks like build and installation issues not specific to amd64, and very much alsa-specific. For what it's worth, here's my experience with an earlier version of the 1.0.8 source: mkdir alsa cd alsa cvs -d ':pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/alsa' login cvs -z3 -d ':pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/alsa' co -P . ./build prep cd alsa-driver ./configure --disable-verbose-printk --with-cards=emu10k1,emu10k1x,ca0106,bt87x --with-oss=yes --with-debug=none make make install You then need to run something like depmod -a to update your system's list of modules, or in SuSE yast needs to know you've built new modules. Insert them one by one to see if they stick; monitor syslog to see the kernel's response. But do it with the alsa guys, it's their table! BTW, isn't the audigyls driver in the current kernel? Certainly in the freshly released 2.6.11, no? You might try that if you're into building your own kernel anyway. Dave Brian R.

AudiglyLS sound
Hi All, I have one more hardware issue that I am hoping someone can help me with. arch 2.6.8-10-amd64-k8 soundcard soundblaster audigyls alsa is installed but does not recognize the card (no PCI cards found) Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: AudiglyLS sound
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 On Sunday 06 March 2005 12:12 pm, David Liontooth wrote: Brian R.
