CentOS 5 Hardware :: Unable To Install Graphic Card Driver For Dell Precision T3500?
Jul 28, 2010
I have recently installed Centos. During the installation, I noticed that only sound was being tested during the installation. Once everything has been installed successfully. I can run Centos with no problem. However, when I tried to switch from one window (browser) to another. The display was slow. Thus, I suspected the driver for the graphic card of my PC is not being installed successfully. When I type /sbin/lspci | grep VGA in the terminal, I get the following output:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 06fd (rev a1)
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 06fd (rev a1)
Then, I went to the dell support & driver site to download the driver. In the readme file, it is suggested to install dkms first before installing the graphics driver by typing rpm -ivh dkms-2.1.0.1-1.noarch.rpm
I managed to install the dkms without any error.However, when I use rpm to install the graphics driver as suggested by the readme file:
rpm -ivh dell-nvidia-190.42-1dkms_rhel5.3.x86_64.rpm
I get the following errors: error: Failed dependencies:
libX11.so.6()(64bit) is needed by dell-nvidia-190.42-1dkms_rhel5.3.x86_64
libXext.so.6()(64bit) is needed by dell-nvidia-190.42-1dkms_rhel5.3.x86_64[code]....
Since the above errors may be related to the missing packages then I use yum provides and install to find the missing packages. Even I try to install all the matched packages, i still cant install the driver for my graphic card. To be honest, i am not very sure whether I am doing the right things or not. how to solve this slow display problem when switching from one application to another.

So I bought a used Dell Precision 390 Workstation and installed Ubuntu 9.04 on it. Everything seems to work fine, except for the built-in network card. Well, the graphics don't really work right, either, but I rather expected that, and I'll get to it later.
Anyway, when I boot Ubuntu and try to get on the internet, it says I'm not connected. When I open Network Tools, in the "Devices" tab, I get three Network device options: Loopback Interface, Ethernet Interface (eth0), and Unknown Interface (pan0). When I click on the ethernet device option, it shows me the hardware address of the interface, that it has multicast enabled, and that it is "Active", but I get no IP address.
Is there something really stupid that I'm missing? Do I need to do something special the first time I hook up an ethernet cable? I don't seem to remember having to do that on other Ubuntu boxes.

I am trying to get RHEL4.7 work fully on a dell precision t1500. Everything is working fine except for the sound card. in the specifications it says it has an "integrated High Definition Audio (Rev 1.0 Specification) implemented with a two-chip audio solution comprised of the ADI 1984a High Definition Audio CODEC and the ICH10's integrated AC97/High Definition digital controller"
RHEL4.7 can not detect the soundcard. running system-config-soundcard return no sound devices were found.
lspci returns the following:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor DMI (rev 11)
00:03.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev 11)
00:08.0 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Core Processor System Management Registers (rev 11)
00:08.1 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Core Processor Semaphore and Scratchpad Registers (rev 11)

I am trying to install OpenSUSE 11.3 on a Dell T3500 Desktop machine. The configuration (related to the problem) of the machine is as follows:
Intel Xeon CPU W3520, 4GB RAM
Intel 82801 SATA RAID Controller
Samsung HD161GJ 160 GB SATA,
Optiarc DVD+-RW AD-7230S
When I try to boot from the OpenSUSE 11.3 x86_64 DVD, I get a curses based screen which says, "Make sure that CD number 1 is in your drive." (with OK and Back buttons). On pressing Back and trying to install again, I get an angry red dialog, which declares, "No repository found."
I tried connecting an external USB DVD drive and then booting from it, then this problem did not come and the install went to start the GUI. But then it could not find the (rather any) hard disk!
We have a set of these identical machines and the problem is fully repeatable on all of them (I tried downloading and burning the DVD image again, that didn't help). The same machines have OpenSUSE 11.1 and 11.2 installed on them and there was no such problem installing those.

I am looking to install Linux on a Dell Precision 340 with unpartitioned 17G (scsi) disk space available.
It is a 4-5 year old workstation with Nvidia Quadro2 MXR/EX video controller.
It has a Windows XP Pro installed on the primary partition.
Which OS should I download and install?
Is the X86-64bit CentOS 5.3 an option?

I have problems with my laptop which runs well until it decides to freeze and it either shuts down or I have to turn it off. After I restart the system there is no hdd check to signal that something really wrong happened. I suspect the nVidia driver for the Quadro FX 770M video card is responsible but I am not sure. Also, firefox sometimes runs sluggish (maybe flash is causing something to overcharge?) and often times the computer freezes when I am using firefox. The funny thing is that all my heavy simulations are not causing problems and often times they use 10GB of swap with no complains. When the laptop freezes I see two keyboard lights flashing intermittently. How can I figure out what is going on? I mean are there any log files where I can look for something or can I setup a log procedure to detect the cause of this problem?

I installed openSuse 11.2 64bit (DVD version). Later I installed the graphic card driver. Then I noticed that it's not working well due to an improper installation (didn't use the manual that you provided here). So I uninstalled the driver. Then, after reboot, instead of a regular desktop, I get a CLI and I'm requested to enter my login information. But in the boot menu, if I enter to the failsafe option, then everything works fine. How can I change the CLI to the regular desktop?

Actually, the title I was looking for was Belkin Gigabit Ethernet ExpressCard not seen on Dell Precision M6500 with CentOS 5.5 _when system boots with no link on this card_. When I boot this system with a cable connected to the Ethernet port, the card shows up (dmesg, lspci 0e:00.0 and ifconfig). When I boot it with nothing connected, it's like it doesn't exist. I know I could make it work with a loopback plugged in at all times, but am looking for a more graceful solution. Here are messages logs from when it's recognized
Jul 19 15:14:23 mss kernel: sky2 driver version 1.22

Update: Should have been a little clearer - this card has the Marvell Yukon chipset. I'm trying to identify the part number without ripping out the casing.

When I run the openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-x86_64.iso from an usb stick and select "Installation" or "openSUSE Live (GNOME)" the screen goes to black after showing the load bar for a while.
This is most likely a graphics driver issue but I have no idea how to fix it.
This happens on a dell precision M4500. The same usb stick works fine on another machine.

I just installed a fresh Debian testing on my laptop with a VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09). Although X is running seems like it's rather slow. As there’s no xorg.conf
How the graphic card could be configured using the appropriate driver.

I tried to install the NVIDIA graphic card drivers on my laptop XPS 1340, running with opensuse 11.2. There are two graphic cards, the integrated one and the NVIDIA one. I installed the drivers correctly by doing
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...90.36-pkg2.run
su -c 'sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.36-pkg2.run -q'
but when trying to configure the x-server
su -c 'sax2 -r -m0=nvidia'
I got the following error message in the /var/log/SaX.log NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 (Input/output error).

We have a RHEL5 box with a 2.6.18 kernel up and running (no RAID in use, but the SAS controller is enabled in the BIOS). To expand the storage, we bought a 2TB drive to add to the machine. Currently the setup is like this:
SATA-0 => DVD-rom
SATA-1 => DVD-rom
SATA-2 => empty
HD-0 => old hard disk
HD-1 => old hard disk
HD-2 => new 2TB drive
HD-3 => empty
The BIOS doesn't seem to have any way to list the drive on any of the HD ports, only the SATA ports, so I'm not sure if the drive is being recognized or not. fdisk -l doesn't seem to recognize the 2 TB drive.
I'm going to try reordering the drive ports and try the drive in another machine, but I'm baffled here...

I am having issues installing Centos on a Dell Poweredge 1950. I have tried 5.3 and 5.4, and the text only install. The error I get is when I select what keyboard layout to use. An error window pops up and says "Assertion ((C * heads + H) * sector + S == A) at dos.c:624 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed " I can click ignore and cancel but it instantly pops back up. I have tried to look up the error but can't find any information on it.

This card has been the bane of my existence for a while. In the old days I could get it to work with Fedora using a generic video driver. A friend recommended OpenSuse because of my love for KDE.
The good news is that install went greeeeat. But after that, I once again got a black screen with a line randomly done it. Is there a way to change? I tried changing those resolution options but it didn't work. I have the Windoze driver from Dell's site. Its Dell Inspiron 5160.

My graphic output is not that nice. How do I find out what kind of driver Centos is using? Can I fine-tune its performance? I tried to install the driver(NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1) from NVIDIA website but it failed. I got the following log file.

I found my fedora 9 GNOME gui is very very slow. Browser, editor everything ... when I type in the editor, the display is even slower than I type! I suspect maybe the graphic driver is not installed properly. Could someone point me where to star How do I check the graphic driver? If it needs update how do I do it?
