suse 8.2 can't config dell m60 video
by Benj FitzPatrick 19 Aug '03

19 Aug '03

I recently got a dell m60 laptop and I am having problems configuring the screen for xfree86. I had to perform the install in text mode because none of the resolutions worked. Now when I run yast2 to try to change the resolution X never picks up, and I have to hit ctrl-ald-backspace to get back to the console. The native resolution is 1920x1200. The graphics card is the nvidia quadrofx 700, and it gets detected (at least as an nvidia vid card). I am guessing the vertical refresh is 60Hz, but I don't know the horizontal. What do I need to do to get X to work? Thanks, Benj FitzPatrick __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Problem with nVidia drivers
by Shalom Naumann 19 Aug '03

19 Aug '03

Hi. I just updated the kernel (with YOU) and it said that I have to reinstall my GeForce 2 drivers. I read the instructions in the HOWTO. I did all those cp commands and whatnot, but when I tried make install: shalom@naumann:~/Documents/downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2/usr/src/nv> su -c "make install" Password: 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. *** Failed cc sanity check. Bailing out! *** make: *** [gcc-check] Error 1 shalom@naumann:~/Documents/downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2/usr/src/nv> cc --version cc (GCC) 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

How do I fix this problem?

QT 3.1.2 for XFree 4.3.0?
by Sven Niese 19 Aug '03

19 Aug '03

Hello, a week ago I have updated to KDE 3.1.3. This works fine except that now there are problems with the QT-styles. The styles included in KDE 3.1.3 (as keramik) are compiled with QT 3.1.2, so this error occurres starting yast2 in a console: Conflict in /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/keramik.so: Plugin uses incompatible Qt library (3.1.2)! I use the suse-packages of XFree 4.3.0 with QT 3.1.1. Are there any solutions? Perhaps QT 3.1.2 for the new XFree? Thanks, Sven

It is really frustating. My GeForce4 MMX 440 video card is totally support by suse. I had no problem with my nvidia tnt2 ultra card. When choose 3d acceleration in sax2 and test it, it will lock up. This a brand new card and I was hoping to use it with linux.

Re: [suse-xfree86] Problems installing GEForce4 MX440 in Suse 8.2
by darwin Meredith 14 Aug '03

Hi Stefan, Thanks for the info about the AMD64 drivers. I have only 256k of memory so I won't be able to use that option with grub. When I try to install my video card I am using sax2 and testing it. That is when it locks up and my screen turns black. When I reboot everything is ok but of course it is not configure for a GeForce4 MMX440. It is still using the generic driver for nvidia. I was thinking about using the xconfigurator and try to change my video card but I am worried that I won't be able to start X again if something goes wrong. Can I run sax2 or xconfigurator if I cannot get into X from the command line? will I be able to switch it back to the generic nvidia driver?

Problems installing GEForce4 MX440 in Suse 8.2
by darwin Meredith 14 Aug '03

My computer has an AMD 2200 Athlon XP processor in it and the video card is a GeForce MX440 128MB DDR 8x AGP. I have Suse 8.2 and cannot get the card installed. I did the online update. It ask me if I wanted to install it. I said yes and my computer lock up. My screen turn black. I also tried the nvidia installer from nvidia.com and had problems. I install it but when I ran sax2 and chose the Geforce4 Mx440 card and hit finalize, I got some garbage on my screen and it lock up again. I tried the suse 8.1 nvidia drivers at the ftp site and the same thing! I used the IA32 drivers. Should I have use the AMD64 drivers?

ATI Radeon driver for IGP320M
by James Crist 03 Aug '03

03 Aug '03

I just downloaded and installed at ati radeon igp320m (u1) chipset driver. I ran the sax2 setup for configuration, but I am unsure of what selection to make. I chose the radeon ve, and enabled 3D accelleration. after saving and rebooting, I ran glxgears to see if there was any difference. Imagine my suprise when the fps dropped from 220fps using the vesa framebuffer that 8.2 Pro installed by default, to 117fps using the 'updated' radeon driver. What up wit dat???? What is the corrct ati device to select. This is a Compaq Presario 2110US laptop. thanks, ===== Opinions stated herein are the sole property of the author. Standard disclaimers apply.
