[opensuse] OpenSUSE 11 ATI - Yellow Artifacts
So I just read another thread regarding the pae kernel - it installed by default on the three machines I've loaded openSUSE 11. On my Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop with Mobility Radeon X1400 and Core Duo processor. I'm experiencing intermittent yellow artifacts. I'm uninstalling the pae kernel and installing the default - is this advisable? What does pae stand for?

Thank you,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension I have almost the exact same machine (Dell 9400 with X1400) And it has Core 2 Duo. No problems with the latest ATI drivers. I wonder why your machine chose PAE to install? It should have chosen either i585 or X86_64. Maybe the fact that it selects wrong needs to be in Bugzilla? I think PAE can work in those machines but its certainly not the kernel of choice from what I have heard in the past. -- ----------JSA--------- "Ubuntu" is an African word meaning "Suse is too hard for me". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I've tried the PAE kernel, as it installed by default, and the latest Catalyst 8.6 driver.

For some reason openSUSE 11 installed the pae kernel on both my laptop and my desktop, 10.3 was running the default kernel. Anyways my laptop has a ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 and I have the the same driver version as you installed: ati-fglrxG01-kmp-pae-8.493_2.6.25.5_1.1-2.1 x11-video-fglrxG01-8.493-7.1 The only problem I have had was, aticonfig --initial messed up my xorg.conf (had to remake it by hand) and my system locked up once but that is it. Maybe it is something with the ATI driver and Compiz because (I do not intend to start a flame war or anything) I am using KDE4 and Kwin's compositing features and I don't have this problem. -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."

Yes........the default kernel, which I believe in your case should be the 64-bit kernel is what you should use.

Which is correct - if your cpu supports PAE, YaST prefers that kernel, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
