I have a perfectly fine working FC4 system. I used the FC4 xorg.conf file. First ran Xorg -configure. Kept all the paths from Gentoo and filled in stuff like mouse, keyboard, monitor and graphics card configuration from the FC4 file. I tested the file with X -config /root/xorg.config.fc4 and it worked fine. I then copied it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and gave startx. But twm refused to start. I could just a see a black screen with a black X mouse pointer in the middle. I moved it and it was lagging very badly. So I killed the X server and emerged fluxbox. Fluxbox started fine. But when I tried to open xedit.. it went terribly slow.. Same thing with xcalc. People in #xorg on Freenode told me that I needed to look for via_drv.o module. I didn't find it.

Richard Fish schreef: If you want to try the ati-drivers, generally you just need to merge the package and change the Driver setting in xorg.conf from radeon to fglrx. Not completely true; the ati-driver module (fglrx) will not work if the kernel DRM is compiled (either as a module or statically). Further, the driver has an included agpgart, but this does not cover all mobo agp chipsets (no idea which ones it does cover, but not mine apparently)-- so while the kernel agpgart must be available (preferably as a module, since the fglrx install script checks this before it will compile), depending on whether you need to use the internal (fglrx) agpgart, or an external one (from the kernel; I use via-agp), one may need to do some kernel voodoo (compiling the correct agpgart for your mobo) or some xorg.conf voodoo (turning on UseInternalAGPGART yes or no), some /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 voodoo (to load your agpgart before the driver agpgart), or possibly even some /etc/hotplug/blacklist voodoo (to prevent the kernel DRM from loading, because if the kernel loads its own DRM, the ATI DRM won't load, and the driver does not work with the kernel DRM). It's quite likely that several forms of voodoo will be necessary. Apparently the fglrx module does not work in combination with the radeonfb driver, either, so if one used that, and the driver did not work, one might not know why. In any case, the fglrx requires a specific kernel configuration in order to work even as well as it does (which may, or may not, be that well, depending on what you want to do with it), and switching to it is not necessarily a matter of simply changing the setting in xorg.conf.

There are plenty of tools, it depends what you want. For example, do you want a graphical environment where you can create web pages and upload them in the same tool (mozilla)? Or do you edit by hand in your favourite text editor and you just want a graphical tool to upload them (d4x - not sure if it can upload, nautilus)?

Apparently the fglrx module does not work in combination with the radeonfb driver, My experience is that it works partially. When I have used radeonfb with fglrx, everything starts normally, including X and KDE. But if I try to switch to a console (or shutdown the system!), the system hangs with a corrupted display. So yes, radeonfb and fglrx should not be used together. Vesafb-tng behaves much better, although that is a different thread altogether. -Richard. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] mainactor - which build is likely to work best?

Import and edit quicktime movies from my camera. I would be reluctant to buy a camera that wasn't DV. However as you have one, it should be possible to transcode to something mainactor can deal with. Just to confirm I have a quicktime movie which tcprobe tells me is: audio codec=QDM2 video codec=SVQ3 and mainactor deosn't want to know it. However it was easily transcoded to mpeg2 which mainactor is fine with. 2. That thing you can do in Media 100 and Avid where you you hae little arrows pointing from 1 video clip in the timeline to the other and back again so that you can do lots of fast cuts without getting confused by lots of tiny clips. I am not familiar with avid or media 100, but I am always interested in new interfaces to movie editing. I might even install windows to take a look :) 3. Be able to do lot more with sound (e.g. mixing). Ahhh but there are plenty of sound mixing programs for linux. And if I understand correctly you can do a certain amount of sound mixing with main actor by using multiple audio tracks and mixing them.

The graphics card is VIA Unichrome onboard. I have a perfectly fine working FC4 system. I used the FC4 xorg.conf file. First ran Xorg -configure. Kept all the paths from Gentoo and filled in stuff like mouse, keyboard, monitor and graphics card configuration from the FC4 file. I tested the file with X -config /root/xorg.config.fc4 and it worked fine. I then copied it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and gave startx. But twm refused to start. I could just a see a black screen with a black X mouse pointer in the middle. I moved it and it was lagging very badly. So I killed the X server and emerged fluxbox. Fluxbox started fine.

Re: [gentoo-user] Abysmally slow 2D performance using proprietary Nvidia driver on dual Xeon system (EMT64)
On 11/10/05, Greg Bur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maybe the Nvidia drivers dont play well with threading and/or SMP? That's my guess that this point. If I get the inspiration tonight I'll try disabling hyperthreading in the BIOS and also recompiling the kernel without SMP support. What has me beating my head against the wall so much is not the poor performance but the fact that one out of every 10 or 15 attempts the driver works as expected. I suppose if something positive is to be made of this it is that I will be more reluctant to play any games because I will have to reboot into Windows. Well I tried without hyperthreading and without SMP and the results only got worse. Now I am beginning to look at how I compiled things such as glibc and xorg-x11. I already ran the undo process for prelink and now I think I shall recompile glibc without nptl support to see if that makes any difference. I am really treading water here but I have been forced to read up on my hardware a lot more. I really wish I had taken better notes.
