[ydl-gen] YDL 6.2, pared down gnome, and an iBook G4 1.33ghz
Okay, so I moved from xfce back to gnome and switched out some unessential services (unessential for the ibook I mean). However, I still can't get DRI or advanced synaptics features, and suspend is still glitchy. Also I'm getting a brief kernel error about an invalid rom option for the radeon setting in yaboot.conf. I know that synaptics advanced features and dri work on this machine, as well as better suspend/restore. I've gotten all three working in debian and the latter two working in fedora 10. I think that having the right options set in my xorg.conf might help. Mr. Centino, if you aren't having these problems (ESPECIALLY the DRI issue) could you please e-mail me a copy of your xorg.conf so I could take a look at it and see what you've done differently. It doesn't seem like hal would be taking over there. If anybody else can give me some config info and point me in the right direction, that'd be great. I've had this machine working well in other distros, and if we can pool together I'm sure we can get YDL level performance and the features we want. The only things I can contribute is that I know the synaptics driver interfaces through a module called appletouch. I don't know why dri isn't working, but glxgears gives me awful slow speed and glxinfo gives me a dri not working message. I have NO idea what's wrong with the suspend/restore. I think the radeon error may simply have to do with a misnamed pci ID, but since YDL doesn't have lspci, I don't know what to grep it out of. -- Jason Ritzke Chief Technical Expert: Lighthouse Solutions Computer and Technical Services: Kinder.

Re: [ydl-gen] YDL 6.2, pared down gnome, and an iBook G4 1.33ghz
Hi Jason: The xorg.conf file you are interested in is generated either according to settings chosen within anaconda prior to YDL booting for the first time or as YDL boots for the first time and allows one to set up the user/root accounts as well as the monitor settings. I don't recall which. Of course, xorg.conf is also modified when you change the monitor settings. My xorg.conf follows here: = # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "OffTime" "10" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally # no need to change the default. # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.

I also get the message: radeonfb :00:10.0: Invalid ROM contents I have not tried much with xorg.conf to see if I can fix the problem. At the moment the Xorg.0.log has (amongst other things): drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK) drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK) drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci::00:10.0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK) drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 8 drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci::00:10.0 later: (II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled (II) RADEON(0): Render acceleration enabled for R300/R400/R500 type cards.

I even tried kernels which had given me working acceleration under YDL 6.1. For me, glxinfo starts with: name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbo se) A google search on the radeofb message gives a number of hits: One of these (for Ubuntu) is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/354677 one option reported (I have not tried it) is: >-- Comparing the logs seemed to point at the difference lying in 5.04 falling back on pci for the dri, so I added: Option "BusType" "PCI" to my xorg.conf. With this option added, 3D-acceleration (including compiz which I'm using at the moment) seems to work just fine, and glxgears (the beloved benchmarking tool ;) ) reports fps about 10 times higher than before. >-- -- Stephen Harker s.har...@adfa.edu.au PEMS u...@adfa ___ yellowdog-general mailing list - yellowdog-general@lists.fixstars.com Unsuscribe info: http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try 'site:us.fixstars.com'
