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?

sorry still no scrolling from the wheels. I have to click and drag. what i want is to scroll the current window horizontally with wheel two and vertically with wheel one. CWSIV From: "Gnana Vadi Vale" <vale(a)it.iitb.ac.in> Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 Hi Carl Try changing the InputDevice section of Mouse to have the protocol as IMPS/2: Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Hope this helps.

Mouse lockups
by Tom Vrana 26 Aug '03

26 Aug '03

Hello, I just upgraded to SuSE 8.2 from 8.0 and I keep experiencing annoying problems with mouse in xfree - it ocassionaly locks up, especially when using the wheel. It is a 3 button PS/2 with wheel using the imps/2 protocol. After switching to text console and back it starts working again... And yes, it did work with no problems in 8.0 .... Any hints ?

This is very unfortunate. I've spent weeks to improve mouse handling testing all mice I could possibly come across. Since 8.2 I've done some more improvements on the mouse driver. You can check http://xfree86.linuxwiki.org/mouse_2fKnownIssues for a pointer to an improved version of the driver and a debugging version in case you still have problems. Egbert.

i think this began when i uypgraded to latest kernel [rpm] i weird shadow is on my desktop any time i open an application i tried to install nvidia driver from the site but it fails see file inserted, so i uninstalled the old nvidia driver and still same problem please advice attach link to pic pepino.is-a-geek.org/shadow.jpg nvidia install log nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' creation time: Fri Aug 22 19:10:14 2003 option status: license pre-accepted : false update : false force update : false expert : false uninstall : false driver info : false no precompiled interface: false no ncurses color : false query latest driver ver : false OpenGL header files : false no questions : false silent : false XFree86 install prefix : /usr/X11R6 OpenGL install prefix : /usr Installer install prefix: /usr kernel include path : (not specified) kernel install path : (not specified) proc mount point : /proc ui : (not specified) tmpdir : /tmp ftp site : ftp://download.nvidia.com Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface -> License accepted. -> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)?

You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with a compiler different from the one that was used to compile the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and system crashes. If you know what you are doing and want to override this check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH. In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel. [1;31m*** Failed cc sanity check. Bailing out! *** [0mmake: *** [gcc-check] Error 1 -> Error. ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module. ERROR: Installation has failed.

Seems to me like the NVidia driver installation didn't fully work. Ingo -- "What're quantum mechanics?" "I don't know. People who repair quantums I suppose." --Rincewind, Terry Pratchett "Eric"

HI, I have an Nvidia GForce2MX AGP graphics running on a PC with an Intel i850 chipset. I have downloaded the latest drivers from NVIDIA but am unable to get OpenGL working. It is enabled in the Sax2 configuration menu, but does not load. 3ddiag says there are problems with the i850 chipset, anyone have any ideas? Ed.

Problems with 3D
by didi-barbara＠netcourrier.com 20 Aug '03

20 Aug '03

Hello, I got my suse 8.2 distribution in April. I have an i815 chip set on my computer and I had no installation problems what so ever. But each time I try to start any 3d game (example: Tux racer) it always says no 3d devices detected and the games plays at a crawl. I have enabled 3d accelaration with sax2 and checked the 3d config with 3Ddiag and everything is fine. For some strange reason, the 3d games work perfectly without any hitch if I start a new session i.e if I have the same user running twice on the same machine. Can anyone figure out why? I don't know if this mailling list is the best suited for this mail. It came the closest to what I was looking for. If it's not please let me know.

System freeze with NVIDIA 1.0-4180 on AMD64
by Roderick Constance 20 Aug '03

20 Aug '03

Has anyone had any luck with the NVIDIA 1.0-4180 drivers on an AMD64 system? I have a SLES8-based sytem thas seems to have problems with an NVIDIA configuration. I can compile and load the 1.0-4180 NVIDIA_kernel and NVIDIA_GLX modules without problems. X starts up fine. But the system will lock up shortly after I start an OpenGL screensaver and move its window around. The X log and mtrrs look fine. Any suggestions? Thanks! -Roderick
