Re: Nvidia problems... again
Hi David, that could be useful, I shall give that a go when I get home from work tonight and report what happens. I've disabled rivafb (due to the nvidia driver conflict), so I'll have to rebuild the keernel, but I'll do it tonight, and let you know how I get on!

Re: Nvidia problems... again
I use a program called Cedega (wrapped by a GUI called Point-to-Play). I don't really play games much, but I wanted to try it out on Linux, and apparently this program is the dog's bollocks. It appears otherwise, the only game I could get working was BG2 (without the exansion, however). I tried Diablo 2 (one of their supported games), failed, I tried Diablo 1 (which also works), Half-life works to a certain degree, Discworld Noir doesnt work, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow doesn't work, Enclave doesn't work, and a few others which I tried didn't work. Altogether, it seems fairly unsuccessful, but I didn't put much effort into it... kind of a if it doesn't work first time, give up case, as I'm not a big-time video gamer :) If you are interested, there's a small fee for a 3-month sign up to recieve support, access to the forum and so on, its about £9GBP I think. I wouldn't recommend it for people like myself, but if you really want to game, and you're willing to put a bit of effort into configuring it properly, then I'd say give it a go! Link to the site is: http://www.transgaming.com/ Cedega - their version of Wine, powered for Windows games Point-to-Play - a nice GUI wrapper for Cedega, I'd advise just downloading P2P, and installing Cedega through that, as it does the configuration for you. It also helps with organising your games. Bear in mind there's a lot more work trying to get it working on an amd64 machine, as a fully working chroot (with /home and /tmp bind mounted, 32-bit versions of your graphics drivers installed into your chroot on your amd64 machine are required alsoe etc.), but if you're on a x86 machine, the setup should be fairly simple. But for now, I'm happy using Wine to use my standard Windoze programs (Adobe Photoshop and the likes... unfortunately my work has to use PSDs all the time, so I'm kinda stuck.. but at least I can use linux :)) Hope this helps, James Javier Kohen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote : El dom, 10-04-2005 a las 20:17 +0100, James Titcumb escribió: gt; I would use nv driver (I am using it now actually), but I have two gt; monitors, and its pointless having 2 LCD screens, when you can only use gt; one of them!

Hi
I use a differnet way to play
for instance, I have Doom3, Ut2003 Ut2004, NeverWinterNight, RTCW,
Medal of honnor, ... running under Debian. I'm using linux binary files
to play (loki has most of them). first install the game trough wine
(not winex) then copy data tree to your game location, copy or install
teh linux binaries then chown user.grp (by default root.staff with linux
installers, i moved them to root.games) then chmod 750. finally enjoy
the game. (that don't work for all the game, for instance warhammer40K
has no linux binary files at this time)

Hi James, I'm happy using Wine to use my standard Windoze programs (Adobe Photoshop and the likes... unfortunately my work has to use PSDs all the time, so I'm kinda stuck.. I personally haven't had any problems with the PSD support in The Gimp, but then I don't use PSD every day. From: http://docs.gimp.org/en/go01.html PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native file format, and thus is comparable to XCF in complexity. Gimp's ability to handle PSD files is sophisticated but limited: some features of PSD files are not loaded, and only PSD versions XX or less are supported. Unfortunately, Adobe has now made the Photoshop Software Development Kit which includes their file format specifications proprietary, and only available to a limited set of developers blessed by Adobe. This does not include the Gimp development team; and the lack of information makes it very difficult to maintain up-to-date support for PSD files.

Re: Nvidia problems... again
Is this in a pure64 environment, or in a 32-bit chroot?
Also, could you send a link to where these binaries are distributed? I might
have a play around once my graphics drivers work (being presumptious that
they'll actually work in the end ;) ...)

Hi Sven, Yes, the method in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian works fine for a stock debian kernel. However, seeing as I'm trying to do this with a slightly modified kernel, I think I need patches for it. I did try both methods listed, but neither work.

Re: Nvidia problems... again
James Titcumb wrote: Hello all, I've managed to set up nvidia drivers before on this amd64 machine, but since I've upgraded to my new kernel 2.6.11 with realtime-lsm, nvidia module doesn't want to work. Says something about interupt requests in the below listed XFree86.0.log, and I'm not too sure where to go with this one. It appears to load fine, and start working, but then give up with the interrupt request error thing... :( Here's what I've done: * disabled riva_fb in config * make-kpkg clean * make-kpkg kernel_image * make-kpkg modules * dpkg -i whatever the kernel was called * dpkg -i realtime-lsm... * dpkg -i nvidia-module... The PC boots just fine, realtime-lsm works fine. I've got a nvidia FX5700 if thats any use... Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help, or give me some pointers!! :) I would ask on the nVidia Linux Forum http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=forumid=14 That said, if you're trying to troubleshoot, why not use the nv driver? It's excellent for 2D work. I'm running the nvidia driver on an amd64, but it's a production machine and I'm still happily using the 1.0.6629 version on a 2.6.9-ac6 kernel. On my new amd64 FX, using 2.6.12-rc1, I'm running the nv driver with no problems. Incidentally, I recently discovered that on my x86 laptop, I can switch on the rivafb frame buffer and run x-windows with the fbdev driver. fbdev won't give you hardware acceleration, but it gives you dual monitors; for normal use, I couldn't tell the difference between it and the proprietary nvidia driver. I haven't tried this on amd64, however. The 2.6.12-rc1 and 2 kernels have a new nvidiafb driver that could perhaps also be used in this way. As for the proprietary driver, the new nvidia-settings have a great digital vibrancy setting.
