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?

Suse 8.2 - No mouse / keyboard after install
by Browett, Darren 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

I am trying to install 8.2 on a IBM blade server, I can successfully install, but when the system comes up after the first re-boot I am unable to carry on as I have lost keyboard and mouse. I have rebooted and brought the system up in "safe settings", run saX2, configured, run the various tests and everything looks fine. When I type xdm at the prompt everything starts up fine, and KDE starts up. But when I reboot, and I am presented with a login screen, I have lost keyboard and mouse. Has anybody else experieneced this problem, and if so what was done to resolve it.

Re: [suse-xfree86] SuSE 8.2: X seems to cause system freezes
by Egbert Eich 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

There is a known issue about freezes on silicon motion. I was never able to reproduce it, therefore I have no fix for it. However there is a workaround: Either turn off write combining for the framebuffer by putting Option "NoMTRR" into the device section of the XF86Config. Or reduce the size of the video RAM used by the chip by Putting: VideoRam <videoRamSize - 10KB> (where you have to replace <videoRamSize - 10KB> with an actual number in kB). Unless there is another problem I don't know about, yet, this should help. -- Egbert Eich XFree86 Core Team Member SuSE Linux AG eich(a)xfree86.org eich(a)suse.de

second monitor problem with 8.2
by Thomas Schoerner 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Hello, I have a laptop running Suse8.2. Recently I connected an external TFT monitor (SyncMaster 191T with 1280*1040 resolution), but I do not manage to configure such that I get a good picture on the screen , at least not via yast2 - the picture is always cut off in some places. Can somebody recommend a way how to solve this? The system does not even respond to my wishes to change resolution etc. Looking into /etc/X11/XF68Config I see Section "Monitor" Option "CalcAlgorithm" "CheckDesktopGeometry" DisplaySize 320 240 HorizSync 30-90 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "1400X1050@60HZ" Option "DPMS" VendorName "--> LCD" VertRefresh 40-60 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection but even if I change to the 1280*1040 suitable for the screen it does not work. Looking forward to hearing from you.

S3 Savage (Twister) in SuSE Linux.
by Peter Lewis 27 Jul '03

27 Jul '03

Hello, Is it yet possible to get the new driver to use an S3 Savage KN133 (Twister) graphics chip in SuSE Linux 8.2? This (http://www.probo.com/pipermail/savage40/2003-July/000038.html) indicates that a driver has been developed that enables the Savage to utilise dri/opengl. If not, any idea when SuSE will release an update? Many thanks, Peter Lewis. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Does exactly what it says on the tin

Re: [suse-xfree86] xdmcp problem with SuSE 8.2

> The only special thing is that kdm says "Cannot convert > Internet address 192.168.3.3 to host name". All computers > are in different subnets. So please check your configuration > whether it fits to mine. I've had the opportunity to better test this problem: I've recently installed 2 servers at 2 different customers sites: in the first one a internet connection wasn't available (the IPS had some fiber connection problem), so I couldn't patch that server. I configured all the various features, including KDM remote access and xinetd-launched VNC server: that installation had exacly the problem you are reporting: KDM started accepting incoming connections only when not starting a X server for the local PC. At the other site Internet connection was available, and I patched the system fully: when I configured the KDM+VNC access, all went well. It seems some patch (to KDE? X servers?) solved the problem. Ciao, Roberto

SuSE 8.2: X seems to cause system freezes
by Felix E. Klee 21 Jul '03

21 Jul '03

Hi, since installing SuSE 8.2 a couple of month ago I occassionally experience system freezes when performing certain tasks under X (e.g. watching certain pages with Mozilla, trying to turn off the background image in KDE, etc.). I already played around with the configuration (I attached the current config) but this didn't help. What else can I try? Can I downgrade to the XFree86 from SuSE 8.1?

An answer to the X freezing problem..possibly.
by Ben Rosenberg 21 Jul '03

21 Jul '03

About those freeze ups. It could be your bios interacting with the video card with 8.2. I had issues with 8.1 and my AMD motherboard with 3D acceleration. Upgrade your bios and see if that doesn't clear up the problem. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
