Re: [Xpert]How to stop a laptop going into standby when i close the lid?
Hi, J. Grant. I think most laptops have options in their bios about that, particularly the power management menus. If you're running acpid, I think the laptop lid acts like another button. Just some starters. -- Derek. - Original Message - From: "J.

Re: [Xpert]S3 ViRGE problems with Xfree86 v4.02
Mohan, I have an S3 Virge GX2 here. Does it lock up with certain colour-depths? Try running X at 8-bit and see if it locks up. In my case, if I try running it at 32-bit, all sorts of strange effects happen (like invisible windows and floating widgets). AFAIK, 16-bit is the highest your card can support. I would try running 4.0.3 at least. The fixes related to the gx2 partially fix the problems with the MX. The fixes were incorporated in 4.0.3. I'm now running 4.1.0 and have not had problems since 4.0.3. Before, the forsaken SVGA server would cause me to lock up within seconds of any line-stipling or fast-scrolling text.

[Xpert]Radeon 7000 QD (32Mb DDR)
Good day, everyone. I have found a way to get this card to work with XFree86 4.1.0. I had to recompile the kernel with the AGP support module (agpgart), the Radeon framebuffer modules (radeonfb), and the DRM updates from dri.sourceforge.net. I am using the 2.4.17 kernel. The framebuffer module has to be compiled as a module. If it's compiled into the kernel, the scrolling mechanism is messed up; I get just a one-line buffer at the top of the screen (overlapping the tux logo) until the screen is cleared (via "clear"). Then in my XF86Config-4 file, I put this into my Device section: Section "Device" Driver "radeon" VideoRam 32768 Option "UseDepthMoves" Option "UseFBDev" EndSection Now, "UseFBDev" must be in there, or XFree86 will either say no screens found or the monitor will go on standby and freeze the computer. I have found that the ATI2 drivers from the Gatos project will not work with this card. The monitor ends up going into standby and the computer hard locks. But now, I get full GLX support. glxgears reports 900 fps. Just my experience with this. ** Derek J Witt ** * Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Home Page: http://www.flinthills.com/~djw/ * *** "...and on the eighth day, God met Bill Gates." - Unknown ** ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
[Xpert]Re: Radeon 7000 QD (32Mb DDR)
Yeah, I was using the latest XFree86 4.1.0 drivers from GATOS's web site and DRM drivers from there, too. Hmm... Using "CrtScreen" should fix that standby problem? Is the framebuffer still needed for the radeaon X driver? On my roommate's Gateway 2k box here, I have it running the framebuffer and specifying the amount of vram in XF86Config-4. ** Derek J Witt ** * Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Home Page: http://www.flinthills.com/~djw/ * *** "...and on the eighth day, God met Bill Gates." - Unknown ** ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
Re: [Xpert] Advice please?
Stephen, you just need to download the Linux kernel drivers and the GLX nvidia drivers from nvidia.com. You can find the Linux drivers there. I also have a MX card. Once you follow the instructions for those drivers, you should have X running just fine. May have issues with your AGP chipset, but the instructions for the GLX driver will help you with that, too. -- ** Derek J Witt ** * Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Home Page: http://www.flinthills.com/~djw/ * *** "...and on the eighth day, God met Bill Gates." - Unknown ** signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
