Subject: ATI Rage Fury -- Problems not only in X
Date: Fri, 28 May 1999 07:26:05 GMT
I've read all the FAQs and forums I could possibly find regarding the
ATI Rage Fury. I've managed to get it to work with the Frame Buffer
XF86 Server and all of that. However, I'm having problems that I
haven't seen posted anywhere.
After starting X, everything is fine. If I quit the server, the video
card shuts off the display (my monitor goes into power save mode). If I
restart the X server, the video comes back. I know that the system is
still working because I can type "startx" again..my display is simply
shut off.
Another problem: Running SVGATextMode also exhibits the same behavior.
I can't even set it to the default 80x25 video mode -- when I do this,
I get a completely white screen (yes, white...). If I try changing to
ANY other higher resolution/mode, the video goes off and my monitor
returns to power-save mode.
I tried Xi's Accelerated-X demo. The Rage Fury works very nicely with
this. HOWEVER, something interesting -- I *must* set VGA=791 in my
lilo.conf to up the resolution of my text console in order to get X to
start. If I try starting X from a standard VGA text console, as soon as
I type "startx", the video shuts off in the same way I described above.
I can hear gnome-sounds letting me know that X *is* starting
correctly. When I do start with a VGA=791 boot, X works nicely,
however, I still can't kill the Xsession without losing the video.
So, I don't know what's up with my configuration. Obviously it's more
than an X problem since SVGATextMode doesn't even help with the
display. Has anyone else had similar problems with the ATI rage fury?
I have a CTX 1765 Monitor -- I don't think it matters.
An unrelated question: does anyone know if there's any way to get
OpenGL working with this card in X?
Thanks a lot for any help. I appreciate it.

ok, i hear people saying that this modem works.
great, I have the same modem, but when I tried to detect it under
Suse 6.1, it doesn't detect anything. In windows 98 I have the modem
under COMport3 under the modem's properties in the ctrl panel. But
there is no COMport 3 in the System Properties...I am not sure if that
was the problem, but I tried to create a new COMport3 there with no
luck...(just gave me a 4/5).
So I moved the modem (thru using a diff IRQ in windows settings)
to COMport4 in win98 and went back into Suse
and again it detects nothing
Log in as root, used YaST to update the new COMport everytime of the
change and
I also used the "wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" that was in the
manual(p143).
The last command is the line that activate the modem detection....
If you have Suse, what am I doing wrong?
If not, can you tell in detail how I can install this manually??
Thanks

Hi All,
I am currently trying to get a external BT Speedway ISDN adapter working
with SuSE 6.1. It does not seem to accept AT commands or any commands when
sent to the serial port it is hanging off. It is basically a re marked

I'm not sure what this guys real point is, but he clearly

advice below:

this is not a matter of theory, the warnings *ARE* based on real
world experiences with SMP scaling failures *AND* a pretty good
understanding of the issues, which the respondant doesn't seem
to grasp. The educational signature below seems to raise the question
of has his training has progressed to the point of even understanding
the issues and theory.
I qualified the warnings in the original post at the start,
There are a number of applications that will benefit from
dual Celerons. The warning, is that a number of app's will not,
and may even perform worse. For those that are able to learn
from other experiences, this is a valuable heads up.

A load average of 10 "for(;;);" loops hardly stresses either the
cache or memory subsystems. Did you try SpecWeb, NetBench, WebBench
or TCP-C benchmarks which by most industry standards represent a
"heavy load"?
Walking to the front door is a "heavy load" for a chain smoking, over
wieght slob ... doing a 10K and Tri-athlon in the same day is a
"heavy load" in almost everybody elses mind.

Hmm ... two clueless points ... unspecified, unqualified benchmarks
and a meaningless assertion of price/performance of a sytem based
upon a single components relative savings. Saving $150 on a
dual 333MHz system with a $3K price tag (5% savings), to have it
run 20% slower doesn't sound like a bargin to me.
Benchmarking is both an art and slick used computer salesman
lies. In general, a benchmark is only useful when all parties
agree the results are a meaningful indicator of a real world work
load that is important in the intended application.
Most new Dual systems (cpus, memory, motherboard, case, keyboard, disks,
display, network, ... etc) have a total price of something at or above
$2K. A fast quality system has a total price of more than $4K. Saving a
few bucks (< 10% of the total system price) seems poor judgement, since
your whole system will be slower, and each of the high performance
components that a premium price was paid for will also perform slower
since the CPU will be the service bottleneck. This is even more folly
when certain applications risk running slower than uniprocessor, and
you paid a $300-600 premium for the dual Celeron processor system,
and another $150 would have made it twice as fast.
> You should forget you theoretical considerations (which are close
> to FUD) and do some practical works!
I'm not talking theory, just cold hard industry experience. Since you
are offering advice, might I suggest some too?
Do your homework, then temper it with 30 years of field experience.
I started on big iron in the late 60's thru the mid 70's on IBM
mainframe systems as a systems programmer, and have been doing UNIX
kernel systems programming since 1975 - including contracting for
an entire SVR3 UNIX port for a non-symetrical multiprocessor system,
and the ground up design for an M68020 UNIX system with shared address
I/O processors.

For an application with a 127K (or less) working set, this is quite
true. For an application with as little as a 130K working set, a PII
could be as much as 200-500% faster depending upon the memory subsystem.
This opens the door to hysteresis induced queue saturation, and
in some applications a system that wildly transitions between
responsive and doggy, if it doesn't just get trapped in the doggy
mode.
An Oracle data base server under modest load has a working set of
between 3-9MB. A Web server under moderate load has a working set
of between 500K-6MB. An NFS/SMB fileserver under moderate load has
a working set of 400K-2MB. In each of these applications, the difference
between 128K and 512K L2 cache is significant, most really benefit from
1M L2 caches. The idiot that tries to save $150 by using Celerons,
just degraded the systems capacity under load by 80% or more for
loads like these.
> In dual-mode the Celerons are only a little bit slower than Dual PII,
but
for small working sets, 200-500% slower on modest working sets.
> 1) the Price is much lower, so the performance/price ratio is much
better
Penny-wise, pound foolish to reduce the performance of a $2-4K system
by 20% or more, to save 5% cost on the system (about $150 for 333MHz).
I don't see how this is much better???????

I don't know what you might think a real computer is, but a Dual Xeon
or Katmai server with 5 channel software raid, clustered by two or
four, can deliver the performance (and possibly the reliability)
of almost any big iron server less than $250K a few years ago,
at around or less than 10% the cost. I used to think that the
dual 370/165's I worked on at the bank some years back was a real
computer ... My notebook today is faster and has more disk, but
lacks the printer capacity of the 27 1401N2's with AN chains, and
the input capacity of the MICR farm.

As long as you don't need X11, network or filesystem. The working set
for these features greatly exceeds the 128K L2 cache. I think you
will find that hitting "enter" in an X11 shell window requires a working
set something greater than 300K, depending on the system version and
drivers, greater than 700K.

yes theory, simply because I've not meet anybody stupid enough to
try it as a general commercial product. Your reason however, is
totally clueless ... SMP systems were built long before the processor
bus supported N-Way cache-coherent shared memory extensions. Octa-PPro's
are just one example of using cache-coherency between multiple cache
buses, extremes are the 32 PPro systems built by firms like Sequent.

A bettor solution is to specify your default color depth... that way you
can have all the color depths you want but 16 will start automatically.
Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config and look for something like this
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
#Device "Generic VGA"
Device "My Video Card"
Monitor "My Monitor"
Then add the following Line
DefaultColorDepth 16
