Yup, I agree, if what he is seeing on the real screen is identical to 
what was in the screen capture, it has to be an opengl problem.  An easy 
test is to run glxgears.  If it gives the same garbage, then any Hardy 
Heron user with the same hardware would likely have the same trouble.  
Much easier to reproduce these problems if EMC is not required.  This 
looks a LOT like the trash I was getting on Intel 810 on-mobo graphics, 
the difference might be the unusual screen resolution (I was using 1024 
x 768).  I tried the Vesa graphics driver without improvement, so I put 
a spare Nvidia card in the system, but didn't install the Nvidia custom 
driver, as somebody said it would cause real time latency issues.  The 
graphics performance with the default nv driver is mediocre, but plenty 
good enough for Axis.

Google "modeline".  It's been ages since I did that, and I did it with
some webpage in front of me.

Since your monitor is displaying everything correctly except the openGL
preview, I'm very doubtful that tweaking the modeline will fix it.  Or
are you working on a different issue now?

That looks like an Open-GL issue (since it affects only the Open-GL 
preview window, not anything else.  I have no info to help, but you 
might try googling with the words ubuntu, 8.04, OpenGL, and the name(s)

Okay, just a reminder of my setup on this particular machine...

15" widescreen Acer x163w monitor with a 1366 x 768 resolution. EMC and Axis
work fine under Dapper, although the resolution is not right. Hardy gets the
resolution correct, but the preview window in Axis streaks diagonally across
the entire screen.

I have read and tried every "fix resolution" tutorial I could find and I
can't get Dapper to display correctly. And Hardy is useless because I can't
see the controls behind the preview window smears.

Here is a screen shot of the 8.04 issues:

Anyone have any ideas on what is going on in 8.04? I'd prefer to fix this

What menu is this desktop effects selection in?  I just installed the 
Ubuntu 8.04/EMC ISO on a Dell Optiplex GX150 with the i810 chipset, and 
have the same problem with the lines appearing when an openGL app runs,

empty, now.  Have you got a sample syntax for how to specify the vesa

Update: I got the video problem cleared up for now. I rebooted Dapper and copied
my working xorg.conf onto a thumb drive. Then I rebooted Hardy and edited the
Device, Monitor and Screen stuff from 6.06 xorg.conf into the 8.04 xorg.conf. 
When I rebooted again everything worked, no venetian blinds.

My monitor is a Princeton LCD19D and it shows up in displayGTK as "plugnplay"
and is configured for 1280x1024 which is what I was using in Dapper. The driver
is blank. I assume that means that it is defaulting to some default driver in
linux. I tried changing to VESA again and when I reboot the screen appears to be
out of horizontal hold (or probably improper scan frequency).

Thanks, to the shortcuts from Kirk, I was able to restore the working xorg.conf
without having to reboot. But still no joy.

The GUI screen resolution app usually doesn't work properly for me. But
editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with pico works for me. After saving
the updated file, I either logout and back in, or Control + Alt +
Backspace to reload the config file. I usually have to try a few times
and Google for xorg.conf parameter information. The newer config's seem
to have very few parameters, in order to have everything auto config. I
often have to go back to an old config file and copy the parameters so
that X doesn't set them automatically. Reminds me of Windows trying to
be smarter than the person at the keyboard.

You don't have to reinstall the OS but you may have to spend some time 
playing with xorg.conf to get it to work. If you use KDE/Kubuntu rather

I have had similar problems.  When using a PCI card, I was only getting
480X640 for the monitor, but in the Xconfig, I could see the monitor would
support 10 other configs.  Not being comfortable in the linux environment
yet, could you provide a quick detail on how you did this either here or in
the WIKI?  It would be a great help.

There is no "perhaps" about it - a custom kernel is needed for the 
realtime extensions.

Ubuntu was chosen because many EMC users are new to Linux, and Ubuntu is 
friendly to such persons.  We are in agreement that stable is good, 
which is why we are using the LTS (long term support) versions of 
Ubuntu, not the ones that get replaced every six months.

Nothing prevents a Linux-savvy user who prefers something else from 
using the distro of their choice, however building the realtime kernel 
always involves a fair amount of trial and error.

John Kasunich

Chris,

I tried the VESA driver and my video went completely crazy. I don't  
know whether I changed two things at once or whether it just didn't  
work. I had to reboot in safe mode and copy a backup of xorg.conf to / 
etc/Xll and reboot again to get my video working at all again.

Should it work with the Intel 810 video chip set?

Lawrence,

Everything worked fine under 6.06 so I really think it is an induced  
bug in something they (the Ubuntu developers) did between 6.06 and 8.04.

My box has had consistent latency around 11000 to 15000 without the  
SMI module installed. I am running 1280x1024 mode with "configured  
device". The box has no identifying information on it and I got it  
used so I have no idea what brand it is.

Hi Alan,
I have been fighting with a similar 810 video problem in an HP pavillion
510n box. At the start, I could not get higher than 800x600 resolution.
I did a bios upgrade and now I can get a full 1400x900 for my LCD.
Unfortunately, the intel 810 onboard video does not like opengl
windows.. I can run axis or glxgears, but get total screen disruption
(crap writing all over the screen). This occurred on both ubuntu 8.04

Make sure desktop effects are turned off

If that doesn't work, try the vesa video driver

[Emc-users] EMC2 and Hardy 8.04

2009-01-12 Thread Alan Condit
OK, I finally got my machine hooked up to the web for long enough to  
do all the updates and got EMC2-2.2.8 running. Now I am still getting  
the venetian blinds. I tried all the fixes that I could find, but no  
joy in Mudville. My motherboard has an Intel 810 onboard video.  I  
have a pci parallel port card in my PCI slot, so adding a separate  
video card is not a desireable option.

Any other suggestions.

Alan
