Re: alsa and oss configuration
hi, /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer are the device-files used by OSS (and therefore also by the OSS emulation-layer in ALSA). Native ALSA applications like alsaconf, alsamixer, and aplay use a different set of device files---the ones in the /dev/snd/ directory. It sounds like maybe those device files do not exist or are not being created. ok, this seems to be clear now. none of alsa-native applications work for me - they give different sorts of errors, similar to one given above. the problem with permissions was my mistake - i added myself to the audio group but didn't logout and login (is there any better way how to "update" the group information)? after it, it seems to be ok... moreover, all other problems seem to be solved now. alsamixer works, xmms through alsa works... the only thing that doesn't work (in a sense that it doesn't detect anything) is alsaconf... in accord with the text you wrote: > Alsaconf, AFAIK, will only work if you use modules for audio support > (rather than compiling support in to the kernel). And it's my general > sense that ALSA is really designed with kernel modules in mind. what disturbs me that e.g. alsamixer didn't work for me as root and now it works... however i didn't make any changes with respect to root's account... I assume you're using udev (since you're using the 2.6.11 kernel)? That will normally create the needed nodes in /dev/snd at boot time. But it might be worth checking that they are there. i really don't know whether i use udev or not, in this respect i'm a newbie. if it is default for amd64 testing and 2.6.11 kernel, then yes... i checked /dev/snd. the directory is there with many files in it. they are owned by root/audio with 660 permissions. Maybe you should recompile using modules, then run alsaconf? That usually does a good job of setting things up as long as there is only one soundcard in the system, well, since it works i think i will leave it as it is :) thank you for your help. best regards, -- Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: reading boot messages
how can I read the boot messages? I've had some big problems today which I'll use other emails for but now when I reboot, suddenly ifconfig reports a ppp0 and ppp1. Before I only had a ppp0. I got some sort of ppp error with instructions but I can't read it fast enough. I can't see it switching to tty1 and dmesg doesn't reveal the information. Any help? you can also try using shift-pageup / shift-pagedown after boot on your console. it should scroll up and down, this way you may be able to see your error... best regards, -- Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

drm and radeon module load problems
hi guys, i'm running testing on my amd64 and i updated to kernel 2.6.12 (via dselect). i selected to compile drm and dri as modules (i want hw acceleration of my ati radeon x600 card). compilation went fine, the new kernel works ok. however, i cannot get hw acceleration to work. the 2 modules above apparently don't work. drm complains about not being able to allocate memory Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.12/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko): Cannot allocate memory radeon complains about unknown symbols in module, dmesg reveals the followinG: radeon: Unknown symbol drm_open radeon: Unknown symbol drm_fasync ... and so on on web i found out that this could be caused by missing support for /dev/agpgart in kernel. however, i cannot select it in menu/xconfig. my .config file contains CONFIG_AGP=y CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=y CONFIG_DRM=m CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m so the support should definitely be present. where's the CONFIG_AGP_AMD64 coming from? i couldn't find any switch in the menuconfig that'd control this. also, is CONFIG_AGP selected automatically? the strange thing is that the same setup (i hope i didn't miss anything) worked fine on 2.6.11. i was also told to compile agpgart support as a module, as well as support for my chipset CONFIG_AGP_chipset=m. is it possible that this via agp chipset isn't supported in 2.6.12? i guess this shouldn't be amd64 related, so i'm posting here... if i'm wrong, please let me know :) thank you for any hints. regards, -- Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: drm and radeon module load problems
hi, What does dmesg say about agp? actually, nothing... it's weird, because agpgart should be compiled into the kernel In my AMD64 the AGP comes from: Device Drivers ---> Character devices ---> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support If I have Processor type and features ---> IOMMU support selected, then the /dev/agpgart is automatically selected, and I don't have the 'AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support' available. thanks for information. you're right, with IOMMU support disabled i can see both /dev/agpgart switch and amd 64bit on-cpu gart support. when iommu is enabled, both of these switches seem to be activated by default and they cannot be changed in the x/menuconfig. do you think it is ok? Did you mention which chipset you have, maybe I missed it. Anyway I don't think that a VIA chipset wouldn't be supported. Even my K8T800Pro worked with 2.6.12 and lspci lists it in 2.6.14. i have via k8t890. i just realized that the kernel recognizes many features that the last one missed... regarding the agp, it worked fine with 2.6.11... You can always try the 'agp_try_unsupported=1' option (if you use agp as a module). If the agp is in the kernel, give that as a kernel parameter. you mean to give agp_try_unsupported during boot? what should it do? Once again, check what dmesg says about agp. nothing :( I don't know what might have changed between 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 concerning the agp, sorry :( bad to know :( fortunately the card driver runs ok without the kernel module... but no hw acceleration here :( and newer version of ati driver (8.14.13) is not usable - it crashes XFree when i move the mouse :( weird... regards, -- Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: drm and radeon module load problems
Hmm, that is weird!
yes, it is!
Yes I think it is ok. Unfortunately I don't have any further info about
IOMMU, but the help for IOMMU says that it includes a driver for the AMD
Opteron/Athlon64 IOMMU, so I guess that you can have agp driver for AMD
on-CPU GART with or without IOMMU.
ok, it's clear now.
i have via k8t890. i just realized that the kernel recognizes many
features that the last one missed... regarding the agp, it worked fine
with 2.6.11...
At least 2.6.14 has something for the K8T890. You can just `grep -i
k8t890 /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/agp/amd64-agp.c` to see if it is in
the 2.6.12.
that file contains following "struct", so i guess it's ok
/* VIA K8T890 */
{
.class = (PCI_CLASS_BRIDGE_HOST << 8),
.class_mask = ~0,
.vendor = PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA,
.device = PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_3238_0,
.subvendor = PCI_ANY_ID,
.subdevice = PCI_ANY_ID,
},
If you have the agp compiled in the kernel, you pass a kernel parameter
during a boot.
in case i don't have it in kernel for some reason (config surely had it
enabled), it should complain at that point, right?
If you use GRUB, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst.
i use lilo, but that's no problem, modification is easy...
If you compile it as a module, just make a file into the
/etc/modprobe.d/ directory and add a line
options agpgart-amd64 agp_try_unsupported=1
e.g. `sudo echo "options agpgart-amd64 agp_try_unsupported=1"
i'm not sitting in front of my box right now, but what if i change the
config and try to build the agpgart as a module and force to load it?
can it conflict with the code in the kernel, or would it just refuse to
load?
might this be some kind of kernel bug?
thanks for help. regards,

Re: drm and radeon module load problems
At least 2.6.14 has something for the K8T890. You can just `grep -i
k8t890 /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/agp/amd64-agp.c` to see if it is in
the 2.6.12.
it seems to me that the only way how to get these modules is to DISABLE
IOMMU support. with IOMMU enabled i wasn't able to compile them as
modules. IOMMU itself cannot be compiled as module and when enabled it
adds CONFIG_AGP and CONFIG_AGP_AMD64 hardcoded to kernel. if i change
this in .config to module, it is somehow reverted back during the kernel
build.
i'm not sure, but i shouldn't need IOMMU, i guess - i have only 2 gigs
of memory, so i should be on the safe side. is it really so?
i tried to load the module (agpgart and amd64-agp) using modprobe with
the running kernel:
agpgart:
Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones
amd64-agp:
kobject_register failed for agpgart-amd64 (-17)
Call Trace:{kobject_register+70}
{bus_add_driver+99}
{pci_register_driver+117}
{:amd64_agp:agp_amd64_init+32}
{sys_init_module+296}
{system_call+126}
might this indicate that the module is included in the kernel?
You can always try the 'agp_try_unsupported=1' option (if you use agp as
a module). If the agp is in the kernel, give that as a kernel parameter.
you mean to give agp_try_unsupported during boot? what should it do?
If you have the agp compiled in the kernel, you pass a kernel parameter
during a boot.
i'll probably give it a try tomorrow.

Re: drm and radeon module load problems
Yes. It is really weird, that you had it in the .config but there was absolutely nothing about the agp in the dmesg!? From your trials it seems that the module gets laoded and your chipset is supported by the kernel, so everything should be ok from the AGP point of view. Also I think it means that agp_try_unsupported=1 would not help in your case. as i wrote before, i already built new kernel with iommu enabled and agp included in the kernel. as soon as it will be possible to reboot i'll check it out... If you have the IOMMU or the AGP support compiled in the kernel, you should get an error if you try to force modprobe to load the agp module. My grep -i agp /usr/src/linux/.config has CONFIG_AGP=y CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=y # CONFIG_AGP_INTEL is not set and grep -i iommu /usr/src/linux/.config # CONFIG_GART_IOMMU is not set CONFIG_DUMMY_IOMMU=y I.e. no IOMMU and AGP compiled into the kernel. dmesg |grep -i agp gives: Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected AGP bridge 0 agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xd000 with module i've something similar. When I start X, the drm and, in my case, mga get loaded automatically. in my case, fglrx, amd64_agp and agpgart get loaded automatically. no drm is present there... actually, should it be there? for some mysterious reason, the hw acceleration works now (and it was the reason why i started playing with the kernel...) regards, -- Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

direct rendering on i845G chipset
hi guys, i decided to move my notebook from windows to linux. so far everything works fine (i haven't tried suspend and similar things yet). i was just wondering whether it's possible to get direct rendering on the integrated graphics card that is on the board. the chipset is Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device everything works with xorg from testing except the direct rendering (although everything seems to be enabled correctly). i have CONFIG_MTRR=y CONFIG_AGP=y CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y CONFIG_DRM=y CONFIG_DRM_I810=m CONFIG_DRM_I830=m CONFIG_DRM_I915=m however the system doesn't seem to use any of the drm modules. maybe i have to somehow force x to use module from /lib/modules instead of the i810 module in /usr/x11r6...? how to do that? btw, lsmod doesn't give me any i??? module in use. thanks in advance for any tips. regards, -- Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: direct rendering on i845G chipset
hi, No, you're confusing kernel modules with X modules. You can't load X modules into the kernel and vice versa. ok, thanks for clarification. firstly, i get this in my dmesg ... Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected an Intel 845G Chipset. agpgart: Detected 8060K stolen memory. agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xd800 ... this is probably related to the fact that i have 8mb memory reserved for agp in bios. am i right? and is that message ok? iirc, setting it to 1mb (the only other option) didn't allow me to run x with desired resolution/color depth when i tried in the past... Based upon your chipset, you'll need to modprobe i830. You may also need the "intel_agp", "agpgart" and "drm" modules loaded, but modprobe i830 should take care of that for you. i recompiled the kernel to have all of these as modules (i had them compiled to the kernel). after modprobing i830 (or i915, respectively - in 2.6.12 both of these are available for the i845G chipset) i get # modprobe i830 ACPI: PCI Interrupt :00:02.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 mtrr: 0xd800,0x800 overlaps existing 0xd800,0x40 [drm] Initialized i915 1.1.0 20040405 on minor 0: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device # lsmod Module Size Used by i830 29248 0 drm69588 1 i830 intel_agp 24156 1 agpgart35976 2 drm,intel_agp ... so everything seems to be ok. i get the same output for i915 (i830 changed to i915, of course). mtrr gives me # cat /proc/mtrr reg00: base=0x ( 0MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1 reg01: base=0x1ff8 ( 511MB), size= 512KB: uncachable, count=1 reg02: base=0xd800 (3456MB), size= 4MB: write-combining, count=1 i have 512mb of physical ram in my machine and 512mb of swap.

I recall using that disabled direct rendering for me, but I'll have to go back and check again to be sure. Suffice to say, I don't use it and I do have direct rendering enabled, but that may not be the cause of your problem. ok, i might try to remove glcore, but as you state below it§s probably unrelated - firstly i didn't have it in my xorg.conf ...

OK, here's where your problem is. You need more video memory to enable DRI. So use your bios configuration utility, and give the agp more memory. Then, try again.

Re: direct rendering on i845G chipset
hi, I think you have 2 options. First, you could try to update the BIOS. Newer versions may support reserving more memory for video. well, i cn get newer bios, but that can be flashed only using m$. since i alredy deleted the windows partition, it's not an option. If that doesn't work, you could try using 855patch. It's a program available at http://www.chzsoft.com.ar/855patch.html. Once you read the instructions and download the program, you'll need to edit your xorg.conf file: by adding a line Load "dri" to the Section "Module" by using the Driver "i810" in the Section "Device" by setting VideoRam to the desired value in the Section "Device" this works like a charm! no problems, i just allocate 16mb and voila... the speedup isn't in fact dramatic, but i didn't expect much... still i get 30% speedup (when comparing the fps before and now) thank you for excellent hint! best regards, -- Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: slow 3D game performance

Re: qemu & vt's
bad news for you from http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/faq.html, QEMU does not compile. Why ? It is likely that you are using GCC 4.x: it is currently not supported by QEMU. You must use GCC 3.x. not hard of course : CC="gcc-3.4" ./configure worked for me. ./configure --cc="gcc-3.4" should work too. To get rid of those dependencies errors I did apt-get build-dep qemu before configuring. sorry, should have said that before. well, but the only reason why i do this is to get kqemu. my kernel is compiled with gcc 4.0.2 so i need the module to be built with that version of gcc as well... so i think i will have to stay with the non-accelerated qemu from the package collection... thanks for help! best regards, -- Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Any hints? i don't think unison can do this. it is also not developed anymore. however, the same group develops another program called 'harmony' that should be intended for synchronization of xml data - so it might be applicable to OOc docs as well... however i just recall reading it somewhere (probably on their web). never used it, but you might probably give it a try... regards, -- Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Color Laser
you didn't say what you need it for - HPLJ 4650 that we have here is pretty good, however, quite expensive as well... definitely overkill for home / 'small business' use. regards, -- Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Using dd to clone smaller drive to larger drive
1.) partition the new drive as you want it 2.) for each partition of the new drive, mount the partition in /mnt/tmp or something like that, then cd /old-partition-mount ; tar cf - . | (cd /mnt/tmp ; tar xf -) What does the dot do? archive the local directory to the stdout tar cf - . | ... tar xf - you can also do it as tar c . | ... tar x however this doesn't seem to work on, e.g., sgi and aix... regards, -- Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
