Enabling composite-out in a video card.
OK, so in what can only be described as a ridiculous shot in the dark... I've got my Macbook running as a server under my TV, and I was trying to connect the video-out to the TV. However... my mini-DVI-VGA plugged into the VGA-composite adaptor isn't working (surprise surprise) Is there a command can put in to force TV-out through VGA (through DVI?)?

MSI D512E video card, nVIDIA 8400GS, No Screens Detected during startx, FBDS 7.2
Hi, Where do I find the hardware compatibility/driver lists for the version(s) of X now in use on FreeBSD? I have a card that's failing (dead fan; I *WILL* try to replace) and purchased a nice, cheap MSI card with an nVIDIA GEFORCE chipset. It provides a character display but on startx I get no screens detected. The card is an MSI D512E; the chipset is GEFORCE 8400GS. Any further info will be appreciated.

Try setting the folllowing sysctl knob:

which video card for dual monitor portrait?

I assume that the good stuff in xorg for these cards is in 7.4 and 7.5 releases. What cards allow one to run dual monitor (single card dual dvi) in portrait mode?

AGP video card for dual-head operation
I used a Matrox G450 dual-head card with earlier versions of FreeBSD/Xfree but have finally had to upgrade the hardware. Getting the G450 to display both monitors using zinerama took a bit of time, but once set it worked well. I purchased an ATI Radeon 9600 All-in-wonder primarily for doing some video capture under MS Windows XP, but the system dual-boots FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE, kernel and ports current as of 11/28/2008. X server is 7.3 patch 2; the ati driver is 6.9.0 (I can't access the system right now, so that may be wrong). I've been unable to get the ATI card to display anything on the secondary monitor (display is turned off when X11 starts up); xrandr shows VGA-1 as connected and VGA-0 as disconnected, and nothing I've been able to do with xorg.conf has changed that (xrandr --auto does nothing other than blank the primary screen). I have seen some references to a bug in the ati/radeon driver which is fixed in the next version. I can't use the G450 either; there appears to be a bug in the mga driver (which is not installed by default but the vesa driver crashes with the G450) which stops xrandr form working (or at least that's what I found in a Google search). There's a lot of confusing information out there since, as I understand it, xorg 6.x and xorg 7.x do xinerama differently. Is there anyone who has gotten an ATI 9600 AIW to work in dual-head mode, and if so, how did you do it? Is there a better AGP card which supports a similar video capture function under MS Windows XP?

I'm driving a dual-link monitor (30 Dell 3007-WFP) and needed to hack 2.1.8 to re-enable dual-link support that the author had disabled because it would work reliably in some situations and not at all in others (depending on how the bios initialized the card, if I understand his response). In 2.1.9 he made re-enabling the support a xorg.conf configuration option (see the Changelog entry for 5/9). g. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Identifying a second Video Card
Hi I'm having trouble Identifying a second video card, Asus 8600GT x 2 pciconf -lv shows the first card correctly as an 8600gt ... on PCI 01:0:0 Second card is shown as a vga card only on PCI 02:0:0 This is not recognised in Xorg.conf ... no matching card for Device Instance PCI 2:0:0, corresponding Screen Section is then discarded. System is a Dual Head configuration, each card has it's own monitor. Either card works fine as a single, only the first PCI-e device is correctly identified / configured. set hw.pci.enable_io_modes=1 was tried (suggested by the guys in #nvidia), lost PCI completely, had to remove it again. int10 module is loaded by Xorg.conf .. no effect there either. Relevant bits of various log files can be made available, ask and i'll PasteBin . Just want to know if what I have here is possible.

Hi Ne'Bahn, it is possible that there is something wrong with your hardware configuration, but I guess that your X configuration contains the wrong sort order of display resolutions. If you look at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf you'll find a Section screen somewhere. This is were the resolutions are configured your laptop (and desktop) is capable to display. Important for your situation are the Subsection Display lines, which look like this: SubSection Display Depth 16 Modes 1280x1024 800x600 640x480 EndSubSection Now, in your case I guess that the line listing all the modes starts with the lowest resolution possible. Just change the order, so that the highest resolution is at the beginning, and you should be fine. Restart X after you edited the file, and you should have a resolution that suites your needs. You might want to look at the parameter DefaultDepth, too. If it is set to 8 (8 bit = 256 colors) you might want to set it to an higher Depth value. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Video card support
I just got a new desktop machine, and I'm reviewing the supported hardware list on freebsd.org. I don't see anything at all about video cards. Are they listed in some other place? I found two messages in the hardware mailing list that mention the ati radeon x300 card, but the only thing I could glean from it is that ati support might not be all that great. Is that true? Will fbsd support dual monitors with this card?

video card
Hello All, Is there are better driver for my video card than the standard, generic vga0 driver? My video card is a Diamond Viper v550 vidoe card which uses the nVidia Riva TNT chip. The card uses the AGP interface and has 8 MB of SDRAM. The rest of the important parts of my system are as follows. The chip is a Pentium II Celeron at 330 MHz with 450 MB RAM. I am using FreddBSD-5.3-RELEASE. My video card works, but sometimes renders slowly and when the processor is busy, I get ghosts, for lack of a better phrase. Scrolling is very slow. I have already checked the configuration file for X and everything seems to be in order, as far as refresh rates, resolution, etc. I am grateful for any help.

Re: Problems with PCI-express video card
On Sunday 10 April 2005 02:29, you wrote: Danny Pansters wrote: [ top posting for a change ;-) ] Thanks for the reply. Is this is a brand new board/box (eg first time trying FreeBSD with it)? If so, try physically installing first the RAM then the pci-x card. They want a memory adress pool allocated and that should be above your RAM allocated addresses. It is not a brand new box, but I have never been able to get X under FreeBSD to work with it. I reduced the RAM in the computer to 2GB, and removed the pci-x card, booted up, and the reinstalled the pci-x card, as you suggested. Unfortunately it didn't change anything. You don't need agp in your kernel, in fact better not if you use nvidia-driver. I have hint.agp.0.disabled=1 in /boot/loader.conf - presumably that does the same thing. You might also have a basket case situation where your allocated addresses for the nvidia overlap with those for another PCI card, but I think usually the OS will handle this. My first bet would be on the RAM chipping that might occur as explained above. Also note (perhaps superfluous) that you shouldn't be running X when (re)loading nvidia.ko. But perhaps it just isn't supported. Does using X' nv work or not? X nv doesn't work either. But the 6600 is listed as a board that is supported, both by nv and nvidia.

It'd be nice to have that usable.). If you want to get the best performance the obvious choice is nvidia hardware with their proprietary kernel driver. There used to be stability issues in the past but those seem to have been fixed. I wouldn't say ATI is to be avoided. If you don't have/need the latest and greatest you will get 3D support from the DRI driver (up to 9200/R280). You can get a 9200SE/128MB for $50 or so these days, enough if you don't want to do heavy gaming and/or pixel/vertex shader programming. The advantage is that, while performance is not as good as with nvidia gear, you still have a 100% open source kernel and can get to the code if needed. This might be important for some people, not so relevant for end users. ATI used to have better 2D quality but this seems to have changed, and nvidia now actually cares about image quality (I remember the image quality of my old TNT to be really awful when compared to a PCI Matrox card) If people would care to bounce me a dmesg or hardware description, X/Mesa/etc. versions and some glxgears framerates (csdemo framerates would be even better), that'd be much appreciated. I'd prefer to not have a completely frankensteined system, but if I need to be running some package straight out of CVS, then so be it. For nvidia, use their kernel and X driver, for others Xorg should provide the 3D support. I don't know about the Savage card, but if Xorg supports the DRI part you should get 3D acceleration.

Video Card Compatibility
Thank you to all of you for your recent help on FreeBSD. While on vacation last week, I decided to buy an ATI Radeon 9000 video card thinking it's got to work. Well I can't get it to work and can't find it on the list of cards during install. In fact no ATI cards seem to be listed. I should of brought that list with me. Did I buy an incompatible card I did notice on the video card config page one line had something like pci:1.0.1.. I know my card goes in an AGP slot not PCI. I was successful in installing Fedoro Linux yesterday! Thanks again for your great support!!

Re: Video Card Compatibility
The ATI Radeon 9000 does work. I have the 64mb model and had it working correctly in 4.8 Stable and 4.9 release with DRI enabled. I didn't get a chance to test linux games on it, but the native X11 client/server worked great. It really sped up KDE. I also got a Rage 128 AGP working prior to the radeon.

Did I buy an incompatible card I did notice on the video card config page one line had something like pci:1.0.1.. I know my card goes in an AGP slot not PCI. The card is fine. In fact, it is probably an excellent choice. It is just barely old enough (i.e. out of production long enough :-) that all recent versions of XFree86 should have no trouble with it. Even though it is not one of the fastest cards available, it will almost certainly be more than fast enough for any of your applications. The XFree86 configuration file should specify the radeon driver in the video card Device Section. You don't have to be more specific. I don't recall how you do this when running the various XFree86 configuration programs. Don't worry about the pci:1.0.1 in the configuration file. An AGP slot is in a very practical sense just a mutated PCI slot. (long story) In particular, AGP devices have PCI device addresses.

Open the case and look for the video card chip. Write down that information. As for your monitor you will need basic information about it also. Horz and Vert freq range. What resolution can it do? hopefully something like 1024x756... There are 3 different programs that will help configure X. all 3 can be accessed from /stand/sysinstall program. This is often difficult for new people to nix. Send us this info and we can help determine what driver you need to use. m Thank you very much for your help!!

If not, please do not give FreeBSD 5.1 to your 10 year-old son. Please download 4.9 from the servers or wait for FreeBSD 5.2.1. If you do not have an adequate internet connection for such a download, you can purchase the cd's online, or contact me off-list. FreeBSD 5.1 was not released for production use. FreeBSD is a wonderful operating system. It would be a shame if your son's first experience with FreeBSD was unnecessarily frustrating. As for the video card: I could not identify the onboard video chip at the web page indicated above. On other Albatron pages, I noted that they sell video cards with nVidia chips. If this holds true for the motherboard, you probably have a compatible card; athough you may need to skip the graphical configuration step until you can identify the card. Once the operating system is installed, there are various ways to detect the card identity if it is known to the kernel or to XFree86. For more information, see: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html which you can also find in the handbook.

But, to figure out what to put for video card and driver, etc I use three sources and I usually have to pore over all of them and combine the information. I try to get as much information from the vendor/manufacturer as possible. Usually their web pages have something useful. I dig through the dmesg output until I think I have figured out which lines refer to the video stuff. I go to the Xfree86 support web site and go through their lists. That is probably the most complete source because it is really XFree86 that is talking to your video card anyway. The Xfree86 page is: http://www.xfree86.org/support.html Then do some serious digging. jerry Thank you very much for your help!!

Video Card or Browser Problem?
