[opensuse-factory] slow 3D and no tablet/touchscreen in X60 with 10.3b1
Hi, My installation of 10.3 beta 1 on Thinkpad X60 went well. The only major problem was that the lack of recognition of the wireless card (Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 ABG), which I reported in bugzilla (Bug 301076). Two minor things I don't know how to report are: 1) During "Saving Remote Administration Configuration", while "Downloading http://download.opensuse.org/.../inst-source-extra/content" I got a pop-up error: Error Download failed: Media exception I OKed and installation continued. 2) During "Running Internet Connection Test" another pop-up error: Error Cannot install downloaded release notes. RPM signature check failed. But the test was successful nonetheless. Beside these minor issues, the main issue is with graphics. The graphics card is Intel 945 GM. I did not activate 3D acceleration right away and I got 720 FPM from glxgears at first. After activating 3D acceleration through in SaX2, the rate improved to only 840 FPM only. In 10.1 I can get 1200 FPM with glxgears on the same hardware. So, 3D acceleration is not working properly in 10.3b1 for this card. Second issue is the tablet/touchscreen. This X60 laptop has a so-called MultiTouch screen that works as tablet (with pen) and as touchscreen (without pen). I tried to activate the tablet (Wacom ISDV4 tablet PC (serial)) in SaX2, but it does not recognize the digital pen. I also tried the existing types of touchscreen (no Wacom on the list) with COM-1, but none worked either. Should I report the tablet and touchscreen separately in bugzilla? Is there a repository that contains more recent Xorg versions? -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
You use the propietary drivers? In my case, sax2 do'nt work right with the propietary drivers of my video card. I I use "sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx" (after configured via aticonfig), later in kde I got a black screen in kde. I must leave so as configured by aticonfig, and the works right. 2007/8/18, Carlos F Lange <carlos.lange@ualberta.ca>:

My X60 has an Intel graphic card, as I say below, and the driver is the open source "intel". The same driver (I don't know how to check its version) is used by 10.1 and gives good 3D results.
