Debian Hardware :: Installing The Gallium Driver In Sid
Apr 2, 2011
I've got an old computer with an Ati Radeon 9550. I had Ubuntu 10.10 installed and was able to get the gallium driver working but ubuntu seemed to really load down the system so I decided to try Debian so far its running much faster for regular tasks but I'm having a terrible time getting it to recognize the gallium driver. I actually upgraded to sid because I had read that gallium was the default driver for mesa for my card.
Here is what i've done so far.
When I opened package manager it did say libgl1-mesa-dri 7.10.1 (I think that was the right version) was installed but when I checked rendered string it still showed software.
So I went to [url] downloaded 7.10-4 and compiled it according to the directions on the site and installed with make install. I didn't get any errors. Package manager shows its installed but still only software rendering. I tried following the last part of the instructions on this site [url] and exporting the paths but its not working.
Doesn't do anything.
dmesg | grep drm
I have no idea what this error means. Well actually I bet it means my driver isn't loading.
I have recently installed 10.04 on my Fujitsu E8210 laptop and now have a problem with the flickering and noisy screen. I have narrowed down the issue to my ATI mobility Radeon x1400 drivers and seen a suggestion to install Gallium3D drivers. Up 'till now I have installed new kernel from [url].
And now am looking for directions on how to install Gallium3D drivers for my video card.
I installed Debian Squeeze with no issues. I went to install latest Nvidia driver as done previously with Lenny. Used instructions that worked on lenny from "the trooper" [url]
Downloaded th latest driver for my GeForce 7300 GS vidio card, driver package NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.12.run
Used "method # 2 as described in HOW TO,as it worked perfectly in the past on Lenny. Only syntax I changed was instead of gdm I typed gdm3 as it appears that is the new name for gnome in Squeeze.
Did as folows:
Now the trouble showed up, Unfortunatly I can only go off my memory. A question was asked stating that something did not match, it needed a 3 and the driver had a 4 version or somethng of this sort. then it asked if I new what I was doing (and I lied) and selected yes. And whammo, it didn't work. (This question was asked when i did in Lenny and it is working perfectly still on that system). I now can not boot to GUI, I notice when system boots it starts in "S" mode although I select normal boot from grub2.
Not too bad if I got to reinstall as little is on the system. I just want to know what I am missing on the instalation deal or should I be going about this difrently with Squeeze.
I have installed before with ease following the Debian how to. On jessie 8 I have an issue with black screen, probably miss configuration but can't figure what?
I'm fairly new to Linux. I am trying to build and install the drivers for the ASUS USB-N10 wlan usb dongle, using the newest drivers from the Realtek website. I've never used make before on Linux and am running into what are probably some pretty basic problems, but I'm not sure where to look for the answers. I used aptitude to install the "make" and "build-essential" packages. I unpacked the drivers using Archive Manager. I changed to the driver directory and ran "make". It stopped with "No such file or directory." I became superuser and ran make, in case it had permission problems when creating the directory.
Here are the results. obie@four:~/realtek/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401$ make make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build M=/home/obie/realtek/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401 modules make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build: No such file or directory. Stop. make: *** [modules] Error 2 .....
I haven't modified the makefile in any way -- it is the same as what I downloaded. I've read posts from other users who have compiled and installed the drivers on Ubuntu with no problem.
The contents of the directory I'm in when I run make are as follows: drwxrwxrwx 21 obie obie 4096 Apr 1 03:25 . drwx------ 3 obie obie 4096 Sep 3 22:43 .. -rwx------ 1 obie obie 3479 Apr 1 03:25 autoconf_rtl8712_usb_linux.h -rwx------ 1 obie obie 151 Apr 1 03:25 clean drwxrwxrwx 2 obie obie 4096 Apr 1 03:25 cmd -rwx------ 1 obie obie 516 Apr 1 03:25 config drwxrwxrwx 2 obie obie 4096 Apr 1 03:25 crypto drwxrwxrwx 2 obie obie 4096 Apr 1 03:25 debug .....
I've been on numerous websites--with tutorials telling how to install the ATI drivers, I'm running Squeeze 6.0.1 Gnome amd64, the tutorial I am using is located at the ATIProprietary Debian Wiki [URL] when I try the following: sudo apt-get install fakeroot debhelper build-essential libstdc++5
I get this: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package fakeroot is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.
Package debhelper is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'fakeroot' has no installation candidate E: Package 'debhelper' has no installation candidate E: Unable to locate package build-essentials E: Unable to locate package libstdc++5 E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libstdc++5'
I have a feeling that apt-get is not searching the web, yet searching a CD perhaps? Because when I've tried the apt-get update, I get the following: Ign cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.0 _Squeeze_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20110324-08:54] squeeze Release.gpg Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.0 _Squeeze_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20110324-08:54' in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter
After doing that, nothing happens, and my apt-get still doesn't work, everything I try and install like build-essential says it's not found. Also when I su nano /ect/apt/sources.lst the list in nano is empty???
I'm currently running a dual boot with windows xp/debian but as soon as I can get everything working, I'm going to turn this into a full linux system. Also my sound doesn't work, but my sound is HD sound that goes via the video card, I have it hooked up HDMI to my LG tv/monitor, sound works fine on xp. I think once I get the video card drivers installed it should possibly fix my sound issues at the same time.
I tried to install drivers for my GeForce GT 630M graphic card. At first, I just installed nvidia-detect and there was a suggestion to install nvidia-driver:
I've just installed Debian and then installed the ATI driver to correct the resolution and to hopefully give me better performance, it seemed to give the opposite effect and has made my computer painfully slow and choppy.
After I've installed nvidia-vdpau-driver 280.13-1 from debian testing repositories, all the colors on the screen became too bright, except dark colors.
I've tried to change the values from Brightness, Contrast and Gamma, in NVIDIA X Server Settings -> X Server Color Correction, but it doesn't bring everything back to normal.
Either the nvidia driver has problems, or I don't know how to calibrate. But before I installed nvidia-vdpau-driver, I had the nouveau display driver (experimental), and all colors were displayed normally, the same as in Windows 7 and XP.
Did some one solved the problem how to install Laser Printer Canon LBP2900 at Squeeze? The driver (version 2.20; in the documentation stays that they were tested some of previous versions at Debian 5.04 or like) I found at the Canon's site doesn't wish to be installed at Squeeze, but somehow I succeeded at Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 10.10...
I installed the new debian_lenny_5.0.1_amd64 x64, i am having a nVidia Geforce 8500 GT 512 RAM display card. I was trying to install the driver using the synaptic package manager. I installed them, but i was not able to use the driver. I don't know where the drivers are installed and how to use it. I checked the xorg.conf , and the nVidia driver is not listed there. how to install them .
I revived my old desktop (failed psu), and installed debian squeeze using netinst. It has a nvidia geForce 7600GT card. The driver in squeeze does not work very well, so I downloaded nvidia driver-installer. When I run it, it comes back with an error saying the kernel (I assume the nvidia graphics kernel) is compiled with gcc4.3, but the system is using gcc4.4. Using synaptic manager, I installed gcc3.3, but same error.
Next I tried to uninstall gcc4.4 and it gave a warning the system might not be usable. I did not understand it, but I went ahead and uninstalled gcc4.4 and guess what, the system is not usable, and I have to re-install squeeze. Not a big loss, since I do not have much in it. How to install this nvidia driver, specifically, how do I get switch to gcc4.3 from gcc4.3? Also, the squeeze install gave me 2.6.33-trunk-amd64, and 2.6.33-3-amd64. How do I get rid of ...trunk-amd64? Do I just delete it from grub?
Using squeeze with a GeForce4 MX 440 video card (NVIDIA) I have a monitor (4/3 aspect ratio, 1024x768 usually), and a TV connected via S-video After installing the NVIDIA driver using the NVIDIA binaries I managed to have a cloned twin screen configuration working.
However, the monitor is (wrongly) detected as having size 1824x768 (aspect ratio is widescreen) Using system monitor, I can set the correct size, but only for one session; besides, the login screen too is messed up the xorg.conf file seems right: proper resolution modes are set; xorg.0.log too
I'm trying to install Atheros AR9485 wireless card driver on debian, and I had no luck.
I followed this [URL] .... to install backports kernel version. The wireless card worked, however, intel display driver displayed the color in the wrong way.
Red pixels are green, and green are yellow. It was displayed like when someone try to connect a PAL system to a TV that supports only NTSC.
I'm very new to Debian (and Linux in general), and am currently taking a Linux course at college... I'm trying to get Debian running on my MacBook Pro (late 2009 model) and it's been complicated but I've got the operating system installed on it... I'm just having a few problems, the biggest right now of which is my wireless card, which doesn't work. So, I found instructions on the Debian Wiki for getting the driver for it, but it's not compiled already and I have little knowledge of manually installing stuff through Linux...
Since updating the proprietary nvidia driver to 270 on one of my machines (64 bit, openSUSE 11.4, driver installed the "easy way") I experienced problems getting a proper X session. I think I have seen this a lot lately which made me think I should give the nouveau driver a go. What has been stopping me until now is that I am not sure how to set up a dual screen setup using the nouveau driver.
How do I configure the nouveau driver to give me two screens in a dual screen setup?What is the difference between the swrast and the gallium 3D drivers? Why do one of my systems automatically use the swrast 3D driver and another the gallium 3D driver (both openSUSE)? Can I switch between the two based on which one works the best?When installing the proprietary nvidia driver the "easy way", is KMS configured correctly and is the nouveau driver blacklisted.? I have a feeling some of my problems are related to these two settings not being correct.
Im just curious if theres a place were you can download Gallium with dx10/11 support for ubuntu that will work with an nvidia GTX 460 card. and abit of an explanation on what gallium actually is, im unsure if its a graphics driver or program.
Currently using Nvidia driver version 195.36.31, it's the version that works with Nvidia-kernel-dkms, would updating Nvidia driver to the current 275.09.07 driver version break my setup?
install debian 6 on my pc and have big problem with videoadapter driver i cannot install driver i dowload driver from nvidia do something in google but nothing! palit gtx 460 linux debian 6 x64.
I've just changed from Fedora 8 to Fedora 10 and I'm having trouble installing a special alternative keyboard driver.
I used to be able to put the driver in the xkb/symbols directory, make entries for it in xkb/rules/base.xml and base.lst, and install with the System menu. Now I find that the Gnome tool no longer seems to be using the base files, and my driver doesn't show up.
Does anyone know where Gnome gets its list of drivers from? Alternatively, can I install it by editing a configuration file?
I have some trouble installing the nvidia driver on Fedora12. I started to follow the guide posted by Leigh here:[URL]..I enabled the rpmfusion repo, but when i wanted to install kmod-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 i had a depadency failure Here's what i got:
I have a linksys AE1000 wireless adapter, I have the proper driver, and I was able to install it on ubuntu to by typing cd (directory) make make install On Fedora 13 when i type su Cd (directory) make I get this after i hit enter after i type make
[root@Renegade wireless]# make make -C tools make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Renegade/wireless/tools' gcc -g bin2h.c -o bin2h
I am using ubuntu 10.10, and I have to install win7 alongside for work, but when I inserted the disc, and started setup. It prompted me to insert the proper driver for my dvd drive. I researched the problem, and apparently it's a problem with Driver Signature Enforcement. To get past it, your suposed to reboot, and hit f8 to go to the startup menu, and disable the check drivers option, but in ubuntu I dont get that option, I think f8 opens grub or something. Is their any solution to this problem that you have encountered? I have done research, and I cant find anything,
I'm trying to install ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run in my laptop with radeon x1200 series. While installing, I got this: Quote:
./ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run: linha 187: erro de sintaxe pr�ximo do `token' n�o esperado `(' ./ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run: linha 187: ` # echo "The program '$script' returned an error code ($res)" >&2'
I have recently created a website that I have added a way to install the newer ATI cards into Ubuntu 10.04. Here is the website for more information. Just to let you know it is a lot easier than most people are making it out to be.
I selected the zc0301 driver as module when i compile the kernel...and i copied the "zc0301.ko" file from default kernel...but when insert using "insmod" its not working..showing the error..
