<1> i lost your nick enigma
<2> :) hi! i just installed _suse_ and tried to run tux-racer, it said i need 3d driver support but i can't find fglrx anywhere in yast? what do i do?
<0> use a real distro :D
<3> install gentoo
<2> :) heh .. ok so ati drivers work outta the box in gentoo? :)
<0> no :)
<3> yes. well, no, you still have to edit xorg.conf
<3> but it's a damn sight better than suse
<3> and installing is easy - emerge ati-drivers
<0> any distro is hehe
<0> besides mandrake of course
<1> Hike, take a hike...
<1> lol
<0> :D
<2> i've tried mandriva but .. well .. didnt work out too great
<1> sorry i juts had to make that joke
<1> ;-D
<0> :D
<1> hehe
<1> hello rainfly
<3> FEL: it's based on mandrake. of course it didn't work :-P
<0> FEL have you tried any distro that actually works yet?
<4> yes.....your comment is noted....
<0> who is / are the people telling you to use these distro's hehe
<1> 000,000 <--- next estimated jackpot
<2> enigma, well .. most have "worked" but they all have different "flaws" that i cant work out .. mandriva didnt recognize my mouse.. ubuntu didnt run 3d above 0,5fps .. (not at all actually) .. suse is. umm. interesting .. i havent tried gentoo yet, can i burn gentoo to a dvd?
<1> for the euro millions
<1> ffs
<1> million squid
<4> I don't want to break with decurom, but does anyone know of an effective treatment for piles?
<0> FEL are you new to linux?
<3> gentoo needs to be installed from the net for the most part - it's a source distro
<1> piles ?
<0> OmegaEvil speed bumps on the anus
<4> haemoroids?
<1> lol
<2> enigma-, , fairly .. atleast when it comes to workstation usage ..
<1> wash your arse propperly
<1> when ya in the shower
<1> and shower daily
<0> FEL well if your that new i don't suggest you use gentoo yet
<0> you should give fedora core release 4 a go
<2> enigma . ok, thats cool. then do you happen to know how i can install proper 3dacceleration drivers in suse?
<0> check out linux-noob.com
<3> enigma: you managed to use fedora? I've yet to see it boot
<0> i do believe they have a suse section there
<0> Hike i've used it from core 1
<4> I don't engage in "botty shotty"! That's the last thing IK wish you to think! But I do have an aching anus.
<2> enigma-, ok i'll have a look
<0> actually from RH 9 on
<1> rainfly, are you female and pregnant ?
<2> i've tried almost every distro that is shipped as dvd isos :) i havent got any spare CD-rs but tons of dvds, he
<1> this is the second time im doing a medical consult over irc
<1> lol
<4> Omega....I am neither horse nor fowl!!!!!!
<1> Corticosteroids <---thats what ya need
<1> normal OTC ointments
<1> + eat fruit
<1> you are prolly constipated
<1> and now thats enough of this lol
<1> speak to your phramacist
<5> I've done lots of medical consults over irc. they get old
<1> bofh`, haha
<1> ;-p
<2> I need a straight answer, have anyone got a radeon x800, on a nf3 chipset running properly? if so on what dist and how did you do it? i've tried installing the drivers from ati, and then configured fglrx, <10fps in glxgears, then i've tried reconfiguring fglrx changing the agp gart setting, then i got ~700fps .. but afaik you're supposed to get about 5k fps with a x800 :P
<4> Dearest dear dear Om Smeg, Although I truly accept the validity of your captivating heathen prognosis, there remains a part of me which will always consider you the "jokey twat".
<5> particualrly since they're the worst paying form of medical consultation
<5> about time to open up that bottle of blackberry wine. should be interesting.
<1> rainfly, you talking to me ?
<1> blackberry wine
<1> fruit wines are leet
<1> specially during the summer
<4> I'm talking to the leader....and I like your leather jacket....
<5> I have a LOT of fruit wines in various stages of being made. but this bottle I bought
<5> it's from a little winery in missouri that I drive past a coupla times a yera(though I bought this one off rack at local liquor store)
<3> FEL: I have an ati card
<2> hike, ok - and you're running games at "decent" fps?
<3> once you install fglrx, and make sure the kernel radeon module is NOT loaded but the fglrx one is, you then have to ensure X is using the 'fglrx' driver not the 'radeon' driver
<3> there's a howto on ATI - have a read
<2> hike, i tried changing the device from ati to flgrx once, then x didnt start. .. err well maybe it did start but all i got was a black screen.
<3> FEL: fglrx takes some fiddling I find. have to make sure you get the kernel modules right. then make sure your xorg.xonf (or the equivalent XFree86 one, I can't remember the filename) is correct
<3> oh, and a got a good few hundred fps. but mine's also a laptop with a mobility radeon 9000, so it's a few steps down from yours
<2> yeah, hmm .. i'll see if i can find anything on ati ..
<2> but i'm supposed to begin with installing the ati drivers?
<3> if not, check out gentoo.org and find the ATI gfx howto. it'll need adapting, but it should work
<3> uhrm... yes
<6> omg
<6> my old nick is free
<6> leet
<3> just make sure the fglrx and linux-kernel radeon modules aren't loaded at the same time
<2> ok, you said something about "the correct linux kernel" how do i verify that i've got the right one and which one is it supposed to be?
<2> ok i've found the fglrx howto on gentoo.org
<6> fglrx ?
<3> ATI closed-source gfx drivers
<6> ahh k
<2> http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=102680&highlight=ati+tvout+howto
<6> never bother with the ati ****
<3> you want to use tvout? goo luck
<3> *good
<6> no point if ya dont play games
<2> tv-out would be nice
<6> ahh thats a valid point
<2> i want to play games and i want tv-out (with overlay)
<2> clone /w overlay ..
<7> Is FC5 test2 a major improvement to FC4 ?
<6> Milligan, stick to FC4
<6> for now
<7> That's what I wanted to hear ;)
<6> i wouldnt go with test versions despite them being very stable
<3> FEL: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml
<2> Thanks hike!
<2> i'll have a look-see rightaway
<0> FEL the install docs for the min install are 105 pages hehe
<2> Hike, , you know im on suse atm right?
<2> enigma-, , you mean for gentoo in general?
<0> yup
<2> hehe
<2> i havent rtfm much tbh ..
<2> mostly googeling :P
<3> FEL: I know, but the configuration stuff is reasonably distro-independent. the biggest likely differences will be installing the driver package (which might be under a different name) and if you use XFree86 not xorg, in which case the config file is named differently
<2> i know how to install packages in ubuntu and mandriva but i've just been using suse for 2hrs i have no idea .. i guess im looking for a equivalent of emerge ..
<2> but 1st things 1st .. how do i check if im running xorg or xfree86?
<8> nn all
<9> sup
<3> can't remember. try just going to /etc/X11 - if you're using xorg the config file is xorg.conf, otherwise it's something else, probably XFree86.conf or similar
<5> ok, dinner's done, now time to try this wine. hope it's good. :)
<9> bofh`: i just had 10 shots of expresso
<9> im buzzing
<5> hahhaa
<9> or is that the AC
<9> hmmmm
<5> I have 4 gallons of coffee wine here. :)
<3> P38: let me know if your nervous system explodes
<9> i ordered a double and then picked at the waiter about the cup only being 1/4 full
<3> that's a lot of coffee
