I've done some extensive work with Debian Bookworm. My ever changing tutorial is here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jeV_4VKzVmOIzbB-ytcgsW2I_PhCm1x7oiw8VcLFdiY/edit?usp=sharing We are now getting really good latencies. I tested Probe-basic last night on a 1600 pixel wide PC. Some Windows refuse to scale so it's definitely a no from me. QTdragon XYZ scales OK, but seems to waste some screen real estate on the right. Its very cool when you get into it.

Re: [Emc-developers] Mesa 7I80HDT needed
Steve, Definitely a 5i20. I just looked as a sanity check. The Full HD (1920x1080 IIRC) needed for probe-basic is higher resolution than my monitor, but probably not the video card. I do actually have a decent PCIe graphics card, but I’d have to give that up to go to a PCIe FPGA card. I really want to upgrade anyway, because the PC is a Core2 Duo and might not be adequate to run a full desktop and the machine under recent Debian.

Re: [Emc-developers] Mesa 7I80HDT needed
I think a 5i24 is what he has now, and the modern embedded computers seem to have gone over to PCIexpress slots. The embedded computer he currently uses cannot support a 16 to 9 ratio screen needed by some of the newer GUI interfaces. The current computer only has one PCI slot so an add-on video card and the 5i24 cannot both be installed at the same time.

Have you looked at the (in-stock) 5i24? Should be a straight swap for whatever PCI card you are using.

Re: [Emc-developers] Mesa 7I80HDT needed
Andy, I have a nice mounting scheme in my control cabinet for SFF PCs. It seems like you have to go pretty far back in time to find one with a PCI slot. My existing full-height M5I20 required a cutout in the lid of my current PC to allow the card to protrude and provide a path for cables. The prior SFF PC I originally used had a riser card with a horizontal slot for a full-height card, but the newer one only had a single slot on the motherboard for a vertical half height card. So I modified the lid. I considered a PCIe host card (6I24) as a replacement, but the PCs I looked at would have had ribbon cable access problems too. Assuming the ethernet-based card works well for my servo system, I can use almost any PC as a host and upgrade to something with a lot more horsepower. Hopefully I'll be in good shape with the card Peter conjured. :) Thanks all, Chris On Tue, Apr 18, 2023 at 4:06 PM andy pugh wrote: > On Tue, 18 Apr 2023 at 14:12, Chris Helgesen > wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > Apologies for bothering the developer's list with this.
