Upcoming 7.1 (not 7.0.1?) release - upgrade from 6.0.7 possible?
I have not yet upgraded my system from 6.0.7 to 7.0 because I like to wait a couple of months before going to a new major version number on an OS upgrade. This is to allow for the initial bug shake-out phase which pretty much always happens. :-) There was just an announcement that 7.1 (not 7.0.1?) is going to be released June 15. Anyone have any ides regarding the upgrade from 6.0.7 to 7.1? Is it possible to do the direct migration like that, or should I upgrade from 6.0.7 to 7.0 now so that I can then do the direct migration from 7.0 to 7.1? I'm assuming that I'll be able to go from 6.0.7 to 7.1, but I figured I'd ask people who've been around Debian longer than I have. :-) Thanks! --Dave smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Re: AMD AGPUs, 3D acceleration, and linux-libre in Debian
The newer Richland APUs also should work, topping out with the A10-6800k. As for the GPU, I don't expect 3d will work w/o the binary firmware blobs. Even 2d might not work. And even if it does, there is still non-free video- bios on the apu, AIUI. (There certainly is on all discreet radeon cards.) You might be able to do a fully-Free-Software C32 or G34 board, but the on-board vga on those probably is not up to 3d. You can use a discreet card with the asus mb. Perhaps there is one w/o propietary blobs? Good luck. I'd be curious to know how it works out. -JimC -- James Cloos cl...@jhcloos.com OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: AMD AGPUs, 3D acceleration, and linux-libre in Debian
I don't care whether or not they are supported in linux-firmware-nonfree; I want this to work using 100% free software. I have linux-firmware-nonfree installed here on my desktop based on a E350. It's not even for 3D (which I never use), but it was needed just to get console output, IIRC. I haven't tried to uninstall it, to see if the situation improved since when I got this computer, but at least, it doesn't sound too promising for you.

Misschien heb je er wat aan: Ik heb een systeem met een Supermicro X9SCM-F moederbord en volgens lspci is mijn VGA controller een Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd. MGA G200eW WPCM450 (rev 0a). Na veel moeite kwam ik er achter dat hij maar 16MB geheugen krijgt toegewezen, en dat dit niet te wijzigen is. Hier staat hoe (de lspci methode): http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-find-linux-vga-video-card-ram/ Niets in Xorg.0.log of in de output van xrandr wijst er op dat er ook breedbeeldmodussen zijn, terwijl ik een breedbeeld monitor wil gebruiken. Op Google zie ik velen zoeken en niemand die het gelukt is. EDID leverde bij verschillende monitoren een foutmelding en alleen duidelijk foute resoluties zoals 275x275. Ook een live CD van Squeeze gaf alleen 3:4 resoluties. Wat ik gedaan heb is het volgende: eerst het type nummer van mijn monitor opgezocht (zat achter de VGA stekker), het bleek een Samsung 206BW. Toen op internet de maximale resolutie opgezocht. Dat leverde een vreemde resolutie op: 1680x1050. Op wikipedia vond ik toen een pagina die me vertelde wat de beeldverhouding was, namelijk 16:10 en dus niet 16:9. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_display_resolution Toen heb ik andere 16:10 resoluties opgezocht, die vond ik hier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16:10 Ik ben toen aan het spelen gegaan met het programma cvt, in de praktijk probeerde ik resoluties uit als: cvt 1280 800. Behulpzaam was deze site: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr De output van cvt voerde ik weer aan xrandr --newmode: -- root@server:~# cvt 1280 800 # 1280x800 59.81 Hz (CVT 1.02MA) hsync: 49.70 kHz; pclk: 83.50 MHz Modeline 1280x800_60.00 83.50 1280 1352 1480 1680 800 803 809 831 -hsync +vsync root@server:~# xrandr --newmode 1280x800_60.00 83.50 1280 1352 1480 1680 800 803 809 831 -hsync +vsync -- Op een gegeven moment werd de foutmelding anders, ik kreeg niet meer cannot find mode maar nog wel failed to get size of gamma En toen ik daarna xrandr deed stond de nieuwe resolutie er bij! Als ik me niet vergis lukte het me ook om resoluties toe te voegen die mijn monitor wel aan kon, maar mijn video controller niet door te weinig geheugen, maar ik heb dus verschillende geprobeerd. Uiteindelijk heb ik de instellingen in /etc/X11/xorg.conf gezet, dit ziet er bij mij nu zo uit.

Wat je driver aan opties ondersteund kun je vinden in man naam driver, in mijn geval dus man mga. De ene driver ondersteund veel meer opties dan de andere. Het opnieuw opstarten van X heb ik gedaan door als root te tikken: /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop waarna X verdwijnt. Toen switchte ik met crt-alt-F2 naar een console (of hoe heet dat ook alweer?) en daar zet ik gdm3 dan weer aan. Een enkele keer mislukte het omdat ik geen console kreeg, maar dan lukte het wel via SSH. Ik heb naast een defaultdepth van 24 ook nog met 16 getest, maar 24 bleek goed te gaan. Ook heb ik nog de vesa driver geprobeerd, op internet vond ik namelijk mensen waar het wel met de vesa driver lukte, maar niet met de driver voor de fabrikant. Belangrijk bij mij was nog het feit dat je voor dit moederbord vrijwel geen videokaarten kunt kopen.
