No success installing ATI Radeon HD5970 driver

2011-03-10 Thread Wil Irwin
Hi- I have tried multiple times to install the driver using the "GUI" installer and the subsequent steps. Installation appears to proceed and I can finish with "aticonfig --initial". However, the driver doesn't appear to be applied. Scrolling down any webpage or document is very constipated, and

Hi Alex- While I am not committed to the ATI proprietary drivers, I have been forced to use them for a number of reasons. If you haven't noticed, since March, every month (if not more frequently), ATI releases an update as a rule. It is an unnecessary and very time-consuming effort. Other than ke

Hi Phil- My intent was not to create frustration. Below I have pasted the most relevant excerpt from our exchange several months ago. After that exchange, and some success with the ATI drivers, I had to move on to new projects. Regards, Wil --- On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 1:12 AM, Wil Irwin wrote

Sun Grid Engine 6.2 on SL 6.1

Hello- I am having unparalleled (no pun intended) problems getting SGE 6.2 to run under SL 6.1. I have consulted with others who have quite a bit of experience using SGE on an earlier version of SL, and we cannot determine why it won't run. Before I list the nature of the problems, I though I wou

Multiple terminal windows won't send jobs to individual cores

Hi- I am totally stumped and at a complete loss on this one. In an 'old school' manner (a.k.a poor man's grid engine), it is a common practice (at least for me) to open multiple terminal windows on a mullti-core machine. Submitting a job in each terminal window will send it to a core which is not
