Fwd: Xf4vnc on Xfree86
by Vamsi Krishna 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Hi, I have installed SuSE Linux 9.0 on my box. It ships a XFree86 server of version 4.3.0.1. Kernel version : 2.4.21-99 - default On this configuration , I have installed xf4vnc available at xf4vnc.sourceforge.net. [xf4vnc is an xserver module to facilitate Remote Control or Desktop sharing of the current active desktop ]. The xf4vnc changes the XF86Config file to load its module called the "vnc". After I install this software, X Server crashes with a SIGSEGV. I also had a long discussion with Alan ( The owner of xf4vnc ) and he doubts that the Suse build of xfree86 may have some problem as he was not able to replicate this problem with his build. I am attaching the configuration file XF86config, the modified config file after xf4vnc is installed and the log file . ( I am trying to launch X server on display 1 so i am attaching the corresponding log). Please let me know if you can help me in any way. Thanks K V S Vamsi Krishna, Sr. Software Engineer, Novell Software Development (I) Pvt. Ltd, 49/1 & 49/3 Garvebhavipalya, 7th Mile, Hosur Road, Bangalore - 560 068. Phone: 5731856,5731858 Extn:3208

Hi Alidar, I experienced problems with the nvidia-driver supplied by Suse YOU (online update). You'd better try the driver from the nvidia-homepage - it works fine and installs without problems. Best wishes ROMAN. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Alidar [mailto:alidar@optonline.net] Gesendet: Montag, 26.

If that doesn't work or shows no real change then recompile the drivers to use the intermal interface - in fact it maybe this way already and the agpgart mod is a problem. By the way the drivers option are between the fglrx and the radeon. While the fglrx drivers are composed of the ati driver and kernel mod vs the radeon kmod and the fx86glx driver the radeon kernel mod uses fx86glx for hardware accel. If one is going to use the radeon driver with xf86glx then agpgart is probably advisable to start with, however the ATI km_fglrx and fglrx drivers have their own agp interface and I think that using agpgart mod here is causing the slow down. If you do recompile the km_fglrx then both run "fglrxconfig" and re-install the glx drivers. I gather that you got the 3.7.0 drivers from the suse ftp ../Supplementary/X/XFree86/ATI/suse90/fglrx/3.7.0 dir. HTH.

Tuning ATI 9200 installation drivers
by cercato＠tiscali.it 24 Jan '04

24 Jan '04

Hi! It seemed I succesfully installed the ATI drivers for my ATI Radeon 9200, as when I type fglrxinfo, I get the following display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc Open GL renderer string: RADEON 9200SE DDR x86/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 1.3 (X4.3.0-3.7.0) Also the ATI Control appears on the main panel. fglrx and AGPGART modules are loaded and active. The "dri" module is also loaded. Well, the problem is that what I get from glxgears is (average): 375 frames in 5.0 sec = 61.600 FPS which seems to be extremely low for this system Mobo P4P800 Asus, CPU P IV 2.8GHz, Suse.9 installed. Also Yast doesn't recognize the video card (but this seems normal,I've red) Can someone help to improve this installation? Cheers Michele

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? If more information is needed I'm happy to provide more details. TIA, Ingo -- "What're quantum mechanics?" "I don't know. People who repair quantums I suppose." --Rincewind, Terry Pratchett "Eric"

Compaq Evo N620c
by Alexandru Codilean 17 Jan '04

17 Jan '04

Dear All, I am running SuSE Linux 8.2 on an evo N620c laptop. From time to time when the X server is started or restarted the screen starts flickering and I need to restart the server.(the image dissapears or it becomes fuzy - az if the frequency would not be set rigth, or the entire screen becomes black and then slowly turns to white as if burning from inside out). It happens quite often (about every second time I start X). The laptop has an Ati videocard (Radeon 7500 LW if I am not mistaking - SuSE is using the right drivers so I do not think this is the problem) It might be the screen?!? (it is set to generic laptop panel). Is this a problem that has been reported by others? on other type of laptops (I have used 3 laptops so far and never had a problem like this. also have used other distros on this laptop and have had the same problem) I do not believe something is wrong with the hardware since it is a dual boot with windows 2000 and the latter runs ok. It is either a bug or something needs to be configured. could you help me on this please!
