Corrupt 3D display with SuSE 8.2 and Radeon 9600 Pro
by Ingo Strauch 18 Jan '04

18 Jan '04

Hi all! I have problems with my Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9600 Pro graphics board. I have installed the glx1_linux_X4.3.zip package from http://www.schneider-digital.de/html/body_download_ati.html and got 2D working fine with the fglrx module. Unfortunately 3D (after switch2xf86_glx) produces broken output. The upper half of the screen or window is fine, but the lower is either completely black (glxgears) or shows only the background (the mountain range in tuxracer, but not tux and the course itself). With mesa everything looks fine, but it's of course no real long time option. The X packages I have installed (did the SuSE YOU after initial install) are these: XFree86-4.3.0-15 XFree86-GLX-4.3.0-15 XFree86-devel-4.3.0-15 XFree86-fonts-75dpi-4.3.0-15 XFree86-fonts-scalable-4.3.0-15 XFree86-libs-4.3.0-42 XFree86-man-4.3.0-15 XFree86-server-4.3.0-63 The important parts of my XF86Config are here: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Section "dri" Mode 0666 EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension SubSection "extmod" Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension EndSubSection Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" # libglx.a Load "dri" # libdri.a EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" HorizSync 31.5 - 91.1 VertRefresh 60 - 85 Option "DPMS" EndSection # === ATI device section === Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter" Driver "fglrx" # === disable PnP Monitor === #Option "NoDDC" # === disable/enable XAA/DRI === Option "no_accel" "no" Option "no_dri" "no" # === FireGL DDX driver module specific settings === # === Screen Management === Option "DesktopSetup" "0x00000000" Option "MonitorLayout" "AUTO, AUTO" Option "IgnoreEDID" "off" Option "HSync2" "unspecified" Option "VRefresh2" "unspecified" Option "ScreenOverlap" "0" Option "GammaCorrectionI" "0x00000000" Option "GammaCorrectionII" "0x00000000" # === OpenGL specific profiles/settings === Option "Capabilities" "0x00000000" # === Video Overlay for the Xv extension === Option "VideoOverlay" "on" # === OpenGL Overlay === # Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay # will be disabled automatically Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" # === Misc Options === Option "UseFastTLS" "0" Option "BlockSignalsOnLock" "on" Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "yes" Option "ForceGenericCPU" "no" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" # vendor=1002, device=4150 Screen 0 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "ATI Graphics Adapter" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 #Option "backingstore" Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" ViewPort 0 0 # initial origin if mode is smaller than desktop # Virtual 1280 1024 EndSubsection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Server Layout" Screen "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Anybody similar problems/experiences or ideas what to try next?

Hi Paul and welcome, I have a similar but older config, using a GeForce2 MX with SuSE 8.2 on my home pc and a P4 running 8.2 on the server I support at work. Good to see brave people running 9! We can't risk it at work yet and I can't afford it at home yet (or the time to install it!)

SuSE 9.0 and MSI Nvidia GF4 cards?
by Matt Beazer 21 Dec '03

21 Dec '03

Hello folks, Hopefully someone can help me out here a bit. I started out with SuSE 8.2 and an Abit KX7-333R motherboard and an MSI Geforce 4 TI4200 with 128meg of RAM. There I had a few minor video corruption problems using the Nvidia driver, especially when trying to switch to a virtual console or when shutting the machine down (the screen would turn into rainbow color garbage) but I preferred it over the nv driver due to the speed increase. I purchased an MSI K7N2G motherboard with integrated Geforce 4 MX 220 graphics and moved the GF4 Ti4200 to my Windows machine, figuring that it was just a "glitch" with that one card. To my surprise, the same problem happened with the new motherboard with the integrated video as well, but it worked a tad better (I could shut down properly then). Fast forward to SuSE 9.0. I attempted to install it, only to find that it wouldn't install unless I disabled the onboard sound completely (it would freeze solid at the sound configuration stage and FUBAR the installation, but that doesn't have much to do with X, so I won't go into it). The nv driver worked fine at first, then I found Mozilla 1.4 would lock up when trying to type into the address bar. I went to the Nvidia drivers, only to find that installing them using YAST resulted in X trying to start up, only to lock the machine up solid at a black screen, until I rebooted into recovery mode and forced it to boot to runlevel 3, then set it back to nv. Thinking it was a BIOS issue perhaps, I updated to the newest BIOS for the motherboard. Now using nv "flickers", especially when viewing mpegs and such. Odd spikes of color will flash across the screen randomly, like there's a glitch in the refresh. So, dreading it, I went to Yast online update and installed the update again. This time it worked, but instead of coming up in 1600x1200@24bit, it came up in 1152x864 with a virtual resolution of 1600x1200! I went to Yast and reconfigured it, even though it said it was at 1600x1200, and tested it, only to get the test screen at 1152x864 again with the 1600x1200 virtual resolution. Checking the virtual resolution settings again, it showed the resolution set to 1600x1200 with virtual resolution set to 1600x1200. I disabled all resolutions under Yast except for 1600x1200, and it came up when testing in 1400x1050 resolution with a godawful 60hz refresh rate! Then I tried enabling 1280x1024 resolution with everything lower enabled, and I ended up with 1024x768 resolution! Thus far the best I can get is a 1280x1024 resolution with a miserable 75hz refresh rate, when this monitor (Sony G420 19" monitor, and it's configured as such in Yast) will do 110hz refresh at this resolution, and 85hz at 1600x1200. Now I can't even get the flicker-prone nv driver back, which at least did 1600x1200@85hz like it's supposed to. Anyone have any ideas? Every single update is applied, kernel 2.4.21-144-athlon. Thanks a lot, MattB

ati 9200
by Tim Hanson 21 Dec '03

21 Dec '03

I'm setting up 9.0 on my system. I bought a VisionTek Xtasy card with an ATI 9200SE 128mb AGP card. Yast has no driver for this card; I had to settle for a VESA driver, i.e., no 3d acceleration. I went to to the ATI site and downloaded their driver, packed in an rpm. when I installed it, a message was printed on the term window about running a makefile. Running that errored out, giving a message about requiring XFree86 above 4.1 and a kernel greater than 2.4.8. As everyone knows, both these requirements are met, and then some, in 9.0. Is there a driver which will work with this card?

[SuSE 9] Matrox G550 dual head video card with AOC LM700 montiors
by Robert Fitzpatrick 20 Dec '03

20 Dec '03

Having touble getting the right settings for this devices to work correctly. The left (main) monitor is working correctly with VESA detected settings at 1024x768, but the right monitor is stuck on 640x480 and all the settings I've tried fail. I tried setting both monitors to LCD with many different settings that all fail. I looked up settings under RedHat (multi-boot system) and tried to match, but still failed. I remember having to manually set the DPI and Horizontal/Vertical ranges to get to work in RedHat, but can't find DPI settings in SuSE and changing the ranges fail. Anyone with experience on getting these types of devices working? -- Robert

X freezes since upgrade to SuSe 9.0
by Stefan Neupert 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Hi all, Since I upgraded to Suse 9 my X environment freezes regularly. Of course my first thought was that NVIDIA's driver might be faulty but discussions in their mailinglist show that it's restrictd to Suse 9 users. Obviously it's a problem to 9's Xfree version used. Is Suse aware of this?

X on Acer Aspire 1355LM
by Henning 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

hi there, a friend of mine got a problem with his acer aspire 1355LM Notebook.. after installation of suse 9, the x-server is not correctly recognized by the system. the fonts displayed are far to big as is the whole screen resolution.. think the system uses S3 ProSavage8 chipset with AGP support 64MB RAM on VIA ProSavage? KN400 Chipsatz + VT8235 *btw. didn´t manage to yet install the radeon driver on my comp. with nforce2 mainboard and suse linux 9, so i contacted suse support. i´ve been told that, installing onto this system just makes 2D use possible.. greets henning -- Henning Dey mailto:hdey-homeoffice@gmx.net
