[Bug 864735] Re: [ATI HDMI] HDMI Audio Disabled by Default (since oneiric)

2013-10-28 Thread Geoffrey Morrison
Kubuntu 13.10 AMD64 Visiontek Radeon 5450, BIOS dual-core-enabled Sargas AM3. Adding "radeon.audio=1" to grub config does enable the open source Radeon video video card HDMI audio driver. Mysteriously, this does distort my 1280X720 and other resolutions somewhat, though--taskbar and some icons

I Just downloaded newest version of memtest86+ available (4.20--uploaded at 01/25/2011) from memtest.org. I then extracted the ISO from a .gz archive with Archive Manager, and burned the ISO to DVD as an image with xfburn. (I couldn't find a handy CD--extracted ISO after download is a mere 1MB+.) T

No change. Even took out CMOS battery. Still can't test mem. I got a new "Triple-core" CPU yesterday; I want to put that in, also. I've heard that a newer version of memtest86+ is available. Shall try downloading ISO and burning...shall investigate that first. -- You received this bug notificat

Xubuntu 12.10 similar error. Popped up recently--I've been having problems with memory and paging, so I ran memtest86+ from menu. My optical drives weren't detected--system kept polling them till they weren't. Rabbit TV required much memory--deep paging using WinXP. Had recently ordered two bigger

Thanks, Bryce! I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 for everything now. It's more compatible than 8.10, and, especially, 9.04 (a disappointment). It's OK to close this bug report--I've moved "onward and upward." (Hardware improvements necessitate OS upgrades. I really prefer the newest upgrades--given that drive

I've found also that using bios "optimized defaults" (and then changing to boot from cdrom) often helps with such video driver issues upon installing ubuntu/kubuntu, both for nVidia and ATi cards.

Thanks a lot Bryce! My PnP Rosewill monitor hasn't yet been detected--always have to auto-adjust. I need the better driver to which you point: Thanks again, and have a great Summer! On Tue, 2009-05-05 at 10:06 +, Bryce Harrington wrote: > ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu) >
