Ciao, Marcus


On nvidia with propietary driver, easy method (rpm), I get a display, 
but not by nvidia (trying startx)


Initializing built-in extension DRI2
Loading extension GLX

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:


I guess that installing the driver the "hard way" would work, perhaps 
I'll try later.


On text mode console, I get some weird effects with redrawing the screen 
with Alpine (it is what I'm using to compose this), but 'mc' seems fine.



I have also tried a laptop with Intel video, seems to work better. Tried 
hibernation, no problem there.

Mine is G03.

nvidia-glG03-331.79-27.1.x86_64

I will probably have to use the .run

I'm personally using a local rebuild of the actual rpm and they work nicely 
with.
G04 .

It could be possible for myself to share the result, but I will only do it for 
G04
version, any oldies is out of my scope, as I will not have hardware to test it.

This reminder me to perhaps also have a special rebuild for fglrx.

On one of them I've this history of kernel used (during a time I was using

The last high number was 4.4.0, and the first working > 3.11 was 3.14.1

this is how arcconf tools see the controler and system on a pure

I have tried the 3.12 kernel on two machines. One machine is a desktop box
with an Intel Core i5-4670 CPU and AMD fglrx driver installed. Have been
working on this machine all day yesterday without any problems. The other
machine is an Acer laptop with an i5-4200 and Intel graphics. On this
machine the 3.12 kernel actually works better than the 3.11 kernel. Intel
graphics driver is much better, no graphics glitches under GNOME and even
backlight control works now.
