<0> Does intel offer the specs/free open source drivers for their graphics cards?
<0> Or do they only offer binary kernel modules like nvidia/ati do?
<1> I'm trying to configure my nvidia card (gforce2 - asus v7700 deluxe) to use tvout. I tried to setup TwinView. But the x11 log tells me: "Multiple displays connected, but only one display allowed;" and later "The requested configuration of display devices is not supported in the hardware"
<1> any ideas?
<1> with nvtv I can get the tvout working. But it changes my monitor resolution to the tv resolution (800x600)
<2> how do I know if my 3d acceleration is working in ubuntu?
<3> anyone familiar with audigy 2? im confused as hell, how come its so hard to download basic apps like audio hq or media source?
<3> why doesent creative host these on their site?
<3> they dont come with the drivers either
<3> yay
<3> its like impossible to get these
<4> Now, don't all video experts yell out at the same time, but do you know or know of anyone who has gotten OpenGL to work properly with a fairly new NVIDIA card?
<5> Ratlump, um, yea... my 7900GT works great with the new drivers
<5> 8762 or whatever
<4> FunnyHat: I've had a hard time getting it to work.
<5> Ratlump, what card ? dist?
<4> FunnyHat: But OpenGL works?
<5> uh yea. : ) I mean, that's the whole idea of GLX gears
<4> FunnyHat: Debian/Etch, GeForce 6200 OC
<4> FunnyHat: You could be using the Mesa software drivers.
<5> Ratlump, lol no, i installed them myself
<5> You should give ubuntu a try only because they have guides that are pretty much guarunteed to work with their kernels/modules, etc.
<5> It's pretty much a fork of debian (unofficially)
<5> I'm not trying to preach my dist, I just know it works, and I got fed up with trying over and over again to get my xorg.conf setup right
<4> FunnyHat: Okay, cool, I can try that.. I've had big issues with getting things straight. Got a new printer and went through upgrade pains (from sarge to etch).
<5> ooh yea.
<5> I guaruntee you that ubuntu will be a better time than straight debian.
<4> FunnyHat: Then tried to get OpenGL working. Went from ATI Rage 128 to GeForce 6200 and started cussing..
<5> Ratlump, ubuntu is pretty much debian but with lots of hardware profiles so everything works :)
<5> Hahahhaa
<4> FunnyHat: I even switched to a ATI Radeon 9550 card with same results.
<4> FunnyHat: Days of "fun"... (I don't like to let go of something I've set my mind to... but I have sleepless nights).
<5> hahahaha
<5> Yea I know the feeling
<4> FunnyHat: And that doesn't mesh well with work and having a 3 year old...
<5> But seriously, OpenGL will DEFINITELY work with your 6200
<5> Oh yea.... 3 year olds = second full time job
<5> ;)
<4> FunnyHat: Do you think I could make it work using the ubuntu live CD and some extra configuring, or do I _have_ to reinstall my linux system...
<5> Ratlump, you'd have to install ubuntu. Then join #ubuntu and ask someone for directions and they'll post the link to the tutorial for nvidia
<4> FunnyHat: Yes, having a 3 year old (going on 13), is definitely an extra job...
<5> LOL
<5> Actually if you join #ubuntu and do !nvidia it will tell you the install stuff, !<topic> in that channel will solve just about any problem : )
<5> Plus there are a ton of people (such as myself) that just sit in there when we're bored helping people
<4> FunnyHat: Okay... will probably mess up my shuttle PC first ( I have too many things going on with my primary linux system right now...)
<5> well good luck!
<4> FunnyHat: Cool! I have messed a little bit with ubuntu CDs. Was a little bit unclear on live vs install, but it seems obvious...
<4> FunnyHat: Since knoppix did both on one media, I mean.
<5> Ratlump, well the new ubuntu liveCD is the installer
<5> Just like knoppix
<4> FunnyHat: Okay... (so why is there both a live and install for 5.10 (or is that an old version))
<5> Ratlump, yea that's an old version... we're on 6.06 (Dapper Drake) now.
<5> It has a ton of improvements with hardware support especially
<4> FunnyHat: Okay... cool... I'll see if I can download that CD... any recommended download system?
<5> Grab the torrent from ubuntu.com/download
<5> you should be able to get it in under 30 minutes if you have a broadband connection
<4> FunnyHat: Okay... will try now...
<5> oh yea, I definitely don't recognize your domain ; )
<4> FunnyHat: Huh?
<5> I did a /whois to see where you were located/see what connection you have
<4> FunnyHat: Oh... I see... Nobody knows what rr.com is...
<5> nope : (
<5> Ahh
<5> RoadRunner
<4> FunnyHat: Bingo
<5> Yea I've heard of them
<4> FunnyHat: You in the USA?
<5> Yup
<5> I have comcast : )
<5> except it ****s.
<4> FunnyHat: Ahh.... how are they? They supposedly took over my area from Time Warner and I'm afraid of what's going to happen...
<4> FunnyHat: My in-laws have comcast. I'm not impressed with their TV server (not really with Time Warner's either, but it's a bit better than comcast)
<4> TV service, even.
<4> (Not much difference these days with digital cable)
<5> Ratlump, well, it's very regional. I mean... where I am it's decent. It goes out occasionally or I've had two day periods of time with 500+ ms pings to google.com. But my friend in atlanta has it and it's great and never goes out for him.
<5> He gets a consistent 5Mbps connection, sometimes up to 6Mbps
<4> FunnyHat: Since you seem to be good with ubuntu stuff, do you know if the ubuntu live CDs have ntfsresize and suchlike? I have a windows XP partition I need to resize before I can install linux...
<5> Ratlump, hmm. You know last time I tried the new CDs I didn't have to do that so I don't think I could give an accurate answer. Everyone has told me yes though.
<5> You could ask in #ubuntu quick if you need a definitive answer
<4> Okay, I will, thanks for all your help!!!
<5> Ratlump, no problem!
<6> hi.
<6> so, i pulled the new ram stick out, and i still got a hang. it's either the kernel or x.org 7.0.0. or something else flaky with my hardware
<6> trying the legacy driver now
<7> hi all
<7> just wondering what runs best with fedora core 5 and GF6800s?
<6> hmm, yes, switching back to 71.74 seems to work for me (two reboots, three X restarts, no problem). unusual.
<6> what do you mean by runs best, slasher?
<7> runs best = higher fps
<7> also, am i going to have trounle getting my second card to work? (not in my machine atm, new power sup on the way)
<8> trouble how?
<8> I imagine the latest drivers will run the best
<7> well do i just put my second card in and the drivers detect the second card or will i need to install the drivers again?
<8> I think you can use nvidia-xconfig to reconfigure it for the second card
<8> 'nvidia-xconfig -a' possibly
<7> awesome thanks!
<8> ***uming it's a nvidia card
<8> and not in SLI configuration
<7> well i would be in SLI
<7> *it
<8> not really sure how it works with sli
<8> 'nvidia-xconfig --sli=Auto'
<8> or nvidia-xconfig -a --sli=Auto'
<8> nvidia-xconfig --help and nvidia-xconfig -A will give you the options to it
<8> I don't imagine you'll have issues unless Fedora Core 5 ships with Xorg 7.1
<8> if it does, I've heard you can use the drivers with: --no-render-extension
<9> I am having troubles with nvidia, Xorg freezes constantly at 99% cpu...I use "nv" driver in etch.
<10> hi
<10> i have a question relating Nvidia cards but its not for linux... would you mind if i ask its a windows question...
<11> just see if someone answers it :)
<10> ok sweet
<10> i have a geforce 4 ti 4800 an ok card and i have the nice little adapter that allows you to capture whats playged into the input but nvidia dose not have any documentation on how to get it to work
<10> any one know how to?
<11> go to the website of the vendor of your card
<11> they should atleast have some driver I think
<10> i cant find them
<11> you need the nvidia 'wdm driver'
<10> ahh k
<11> multimedia -> wdm
<11> they only seem to list geforce2/3/fx, 6/7
<11> I would try the geforce2/3/fx one
<11> perhaps they just forgot it
<11> most likely you need the VIVO one
<10> yeah thats what i am thinking
<1> I'm trying to configure my nvidia card (gforce2 - asus v7700 deluxe) to use tvout. I tried to setup TwinView. But the x11 log tells me: "Multiple displays connected, but only one display allowed;" and later "The requested configuration of display devices is not supported in the hardware"
<1> with nvtv I can get the tvout working. But it changes my monitor resolution to the tv resolution (800x600)
<11> it is a geforce2gts, right?
<10> got all the modules?
<1> yes
<11> those don't support twinview
<1> :-(
<11> you can only use one device at the same time
<1> is there an alternative solution or is that all i can get?
<10> brb
<11> you can only get one display, that's it
<11> you could use two X-servers
<11> one running at VT7 and the other at VT8
<11> and then switch between those using ctrl-alt-f7/f8 to switch between CRT and TV
<11> for the rest there's nothing you can do
<11> or you could replace the geforce2 with a cheap other card with twinview support (geforce2mx/4mx/fx5200)
<11> all should be < 25 euro/USD I think
<1> hmm
<11> a geforce4mx/fx5200 would also contain 'XvMC' support which can be used for mpeg2 decoding (reduces cpu usage)
<1> I think this would be a good idea anyway. Because I have a good-tft but my gpu only has analog connector
<1> ui
<11> a new videocard would be usefull then, connecting a tft using DVI gives a better image (you can easily notice it)
<11> I doubt your geforce2 has DVI (not much have it)
<11> what are the other specs of the system?
<11> as it might not be that easy to replace the videocard if it only supports agp2x
<1> I think the system has agp8x
<11> how fast is the cpu?
