Re: radeon driver heading in wrong direction :-(.
Brian Mury wrote: I disagree. As I posted earlier in this thread, my 9200 (rv280) does *not* work with the current drivers. Booting with KMS I get 2D and 3D that are both so slow they are unusable for many tasks (even watching a low resolution video pins the CPU and drops more frames than it plays). Booting with UMS I get good speed, but random X crashes - and 3D will almost always completely freeze the computer. I end up having to reboot just so I can, say, run Google Earth for a couple minutes, then reboot again to continue with what I was doing before. I have a ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] (rev 01) and I'm running F12 with KMS enabled, 2D works perfectly, 3D is sometimes a bit stuttery (i.e. it freezes on a frame for a small fraction of a second, not enough to be seen as an outright freeze, but enough to be seen as frame jumping), but otherwise it just works. It did have several issues (crashes, assertion failures) on F11, and there was one assertion failure in Extreme Tux Racer in the F12 release, but that got fixed in the updates. (But it's true F10 was best. The drivers got refactored to work with the latest X11 driver technologies and there were some regressions in the process.) Now if you're expecting a performance beast, perhaps you're expecting too much from a Radeon 9200? (FYI, even current Intel integrated chipsets (GM965) perform better.)

Wireless, RT2860, (driver available), and knetworkmanager, (Fedora 12)
Well I eventually got the combination to work reliably, but not without a fair number of hurdles to jump. This was a configuration puzzle involving the wireless router, knetworkmanager, and what settings to use.So here are the key configuration points I found to work for my setup: Use of mode 11g Use of a fixed frequency channel Use WPA security using AES encryption Use of auto data rate Use of ESSID broadcasting Now for the quirks of knetworkmanager for setting up wireless: Trying to set the BSSID always broke the config The SSID always had to be selected via a scan for it to work If the network is stopped it is effectively disabled Now I like to use KDE as you've probably already guessed and wanted to use networkmanager to simplify network management. This is now not as scary as it may seem and both my laptop and my PC are configured this way. As a result of this setup I've made sure that after logging in, no network connection is made, but is easily done using the knetworkmanager applet, whether it be wired or wireless. Another bonus of using knetworkmanager was the ease with which I could configure either my PC/Laptop network when needing to configure new networked hardware, and then return back as required. This fact alone makes trying changes in network configuration a whole lot easier than they would have been. So may I recommend you look at using networkmanager, using the Gnome or KDE applet to do so, or the commandline interface if you're no fan of using a GUI.

It did have several issues (crashes, assertion failures) on F11, and there was one assertion failure in Extreme Tux Racer in the F12 release, but that got fixed in the updates. (But it's true F10 was best. The drivers got refactored to work with the latest X11 driver technologies and there were some regressions in the process.) I see the same stuttery 3D you do with KMS (it is much smoother with UMS on those occasions that the computer doesn't lock up). Tux Racer either crashes miserably (and leaves my desktop in 800x600!), or runs at what looks like a frame every couple seconds or so. 2D is useable for stuff like email and word processing, though it will sometimes (not always) lag a bit when moving or switching windows, etc. It does not work well when watching videos, or browsing the web (depending on content). Most of these problems will go away if I boot with UMS, but that has stability problems, especially with 3D. Flash seems to be particularly bad. This is easily seen by playing YouTube videos. With UMS it works well enough. Hi def can sometimes be a problem, but fullscreen works well. With KMS, even a low def, non-full screen video doesn't play well - it will start to drop frames to the extent that I often have frozen video for several seconds at a time (the audio continues to play smoothly). My CPU will usage will be 100% during this time (it is much lower with UMS). Perhaps a faster processor would make a difference (this is an Athlon XP 3200+), though that would be masking the problem. I'm wondering how well YouTube videos work for you (try different resolutions, full screen, etc). I'm also curious if you see a difference between KMS and UMS, especially in CPU usage. Now if you're expecting a performance beast, perhaps you're expecting too much from a Radeon 9200? (FYI, even current Intel integrated chipsets (GM965) perform better.) I'm aware that this is not a fast card. I'm not running anything that is terribly demanding. The card is plenty fast enough to handle things like video and Google Earth - indeed, as I said before, it *used to* handle these tasks perfectly with previous Fedora releases - and still does in UMS when it doesn't crash. Right now I have to choose between performance or stability.

livecd-creator failing on F11
Hi Fedorans,

Doing an md5sum of the source file and the destination file shows them to be the same. I removed the destination file and tried the copy again, and this time it stopped at 246.5Mb of 278.6Mb. If I try to unmount the USB drive it fails with volume is busy, even though the file has been copied over completely. If I try to force the unmount it fails with volume busy. Eventually (after about 5 minutes) it seems to finally recognize that the copy is complete and allows me to unmount the drive. If the file has completed copying why does the nautilus file operation popup take a long time before it goes away? No matter how many times I do the copy the nautilus file operation popup takes several minutes to report completion. I'm running F12 with all the latest updates. Nautilus is waiting for fsync() to return, indicating that the data has actually been written to the device. Unmounting is similarly waiting for the writes to complete. When you think you are looking at the file on the device, all you are really seeing is the data in the kernel's buffer cache. Writes to USB drives max out at around 30MB/s, so you should expect it to take 9 minutes or more to transfer that 278MB file. That calculation, of course, makes no sense. At 30MB/s a 278MB transfer would take 9.2 _seconds_, not 9 minutes. However, USB flash drives do not achieve anywhere near 30MB/s for writes. Five or 6 minutes is a quite likely time for a 278MB transfer to most commonly available flash drives. what's interesting is that the first 240+Mb take seconds. it's the last 30Mb that seem to take forever, i.e. the progress bar displays the first 240+Mb almost immediately and then it stops. I would expect the write itself should take seconds, but the sync to the drive, which doesn't occur until you eject the drive, should take more time.

I would expect the write itself should take seconds, but the sync to the drive, which doesn't occur until you eject the drive, should take more time. The first rush is probably filling the write buffer. Then it has to write the buffer, before filling it again. Because the drive is mounted with the flush option, the filesystem will try to flush to disk more early than normal. One other thing - the sync to disk will usually occur before you eject the drive. It will occur when ever the write buffer allocated to the drive is full, or when the drive is otherwise idle. I believe there is also a time limit that data can stay in the write buffer before it has to be written to disk. (I can not remember all the tuning parameters right now...)

Re: radeon driver heading in wrong direction :-(.
Just collected all the data on all the systems I use with ATI cards, and the results are (mostly) not pretty: Fedora 12 systems with ATI cards: ATI Technologies Inc RV410 [Radeon X700 Pro (PCIE)] This one seems to work perfectly with the default installation (using KMS). This is the only ATI card in any of my systems that has no problems. (Fortunately this happens to be my main home system so it is good that this one works so well). ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R100 QD [Radeon 7200] This is a true antique, an original Radeon All-In-Wonder card. The driver cannot do KMS on this so I get UMS even without putting the nomodeset option on the kernel command line. It sorta works, but lots of things render in a completely unreadable fashion. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522970 ATI Technologies Inc RV610 video device [Radeon HD 2400 PRO] This is (unfortunately), my desktop at work. It crashed constantly until I started experimenting and finally discovered that I could switch to the radeonhd driver, turn off KMS, disable most driver acceleration, and finally get the system to work all the time (it hasn't crashed for a week or more since I made those changes). See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541387 And one ubuntu 9.10 system: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200] (rev 01) This is just a test machine, but when I installed with the defaults, background images wouldn't appear. Turning off all fancy screen effects modes finally made it work a bit better, but still little things often don't render correctly (buttons will be missing edges or not there at all, etc). I saw other reports of the same problems with the 9200 in the ubuntu forums. The most noticeable thing about all these cards is that older versions of linux have at one time or another all worked flawlessly with these cards. Where flawless means 2D plus 3D at least good enough to play non-demanding games like neverputt (maybe not demanding, but still hopeless with software rending). There have been ups and downs (the 7200 in particular stopped working completely for a while, and has only come back to function at all in the latest X), but the trend is unfortunately distinctly down at the moment. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
