Debian Multimedia :: Increasing GTX 470 Performance With Wine?
Nov 9, 2010
Is there any way of improving performance with the GTX 470 using Wine software with Debian Squeeze?
Installed version of Wine is 1.3.6 tested with different versions of nVidia drivers including the latest one, still VERY slow performance and many quality settings are in red. Setting WoW to use OpenGL improved the performance, but deactivated many quality settings in red, unfortunately. Looks to me as it's using lower features than OpenGL 2.0?? So what's up with that? GTX 470 supports OpenGL 4.1 so I suspect it's an limitation in Wine software, can anyone confirm this?
Default kernel 2.6.32 is used in all of this. The computer is an Intel Quad at 2.4ghz + 4 GB DDR 2 or DDR 3 memory.

When increasing or decreasing the screen brightness, Minecraft crashes and to an extent freezes my computer UI. What I mean by to an extent is that I can move the cursor around, but I can't click on anything. I can also run keyboard shortcuts and type, which is how I restore my system by terminating all java processes with pkill.
What causes minecraft to crash and how can I solve it?

Is it possible to make WINE work without installing MS fonts? With only fonts that are in the system. Tried Google but no information.

I am having trouble with the dvdfab8 window opening up when accessing it under wine. I installed it, but when I went to wine and clicked on it, nothing happens. Also is there a good tutorial for dvd::rip. I ripped a movie, but not sure how to transcode it to be backed up to a blank single layer dvd.

Actually, it's recommended to compile (and build) wine 32bits. But, it's possible to build Wine in 64bits and 32bits with the same sources. The solution is explain in this page : [url]Building a shared WoW64 setup.
With this solution, if Wine 64bits is installed on your system, you can create a 32bits wineprefix by this command :
To use this command, you must to compile and make wine twice in 2 differents folder, like explain :

I'm trying to build a package from wine 1.3.18 following Soul Singin's post here but it gives me this error.
wine: configuration in '/home/user/.wine' has been updated.
wine: cannot find L"unix\tmp\wine-1.3.18\dlls\advapi32\tests\advapi32_test.exe.so"
make[2]: *** [cred.ok] Error 2

This error only appear when I use dpkg-buildpackage not when I compile the source it with make.

i've been experimenting with trying to run games via wine (i don't have windows to do a dual boot with), and i just recently tried to open up a dvd in vlc, and... trouble. it works, but now the player "squishes" the widescreen image into a traditional "tv screen" box. even when do it in fullscreen, it just fills the screen with black and plops the "squished" image in the middle of it. i've watched downloaded mp4 images i got off videos like this, and they look fine, but they're not widescreen images. i'm sure there's something really simple somewhere i gotta fix

I have a problem when i use the Nvidia driver and the latest version of Xorg (1.9.4) on Debian Sid. In fact, when i minimise a window (Nautilus, console or Chromium/Iceweasel), i see the window's black border and it's very slowly when i minimize or maximize it. I don't know how to explain correctly so i tried to take a screenshot :
In this screenshot, you can see the black border. I haven't this problem if i use the free driver for my Nvidia but i can't to play with wine I tried with the driver on experimental repositories or the driver on Nvidia Website.

I am currently using Squeeze 32 bit with both gnome and KDE desktops. I have a legitimate office disk, and wanted to use MS word for work due to formatting glitches in Open Office. However squeeze says the disk is corrupt and refuses to progress. This is not so as the same disk works fine in aptosid and Kubuntu. So wine is not very useful in Squeeze whilst it behaves like this. After all it is I suspect it at least should be able to install MS word, though of course no updates are given by MS as it hates wine. Both Gnome and KDE gave the same results, as user or root. I wonder if anything else can be done to Wine to make it work. Perhaps it is something to do with the "free" kernel, I only speculate. Otherwise Squeeze is going very well.

I just got a CRT monitor today, used of course, and plugged it in, pleased with many things. However, the screen is blinking subtly as a result of low refresh rate. This monitor is supposed to be 1024x768 @87 hz and 1280x1024 @66hz (here are the specs [URL]. I only get the following from Xrandr:
Code: Select allfoo@debian:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 60.0*
800x600 60.3 56.2
848x480 60.0
640x480 59.9
Is there anyway I can get my desired resolution? I can't find the xorg.config which I read about.

while trying to get a game to work on wine I was surprised to find out that the wine version that ships with sid is 1.0.1 released in October 2005. So I installed the latest release I found at [URL] like this :
dpkg -i wine_1.1.42~winehq1-1_amd64.deb
The install failed, I think because I hadn't remove the old wine version, and that's when the joy-ride started. Impossible to remove wine to restart properly. (apt-get remove libwine wine and apt-get -f install didn't) After some googling I tried this :
dpkg -i --force-depends wine_1.1.42~winehq1-1_amd64.deb
This did install the wine version I wanted, and the game ran fine after that. However the result was a borked apt-get. Tried to remove wine again with the above commands, resulting in apt-get failing to do so because it tried installing wine-unstable and reported errors similar to these : E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'wine-unstable'. see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details.

I just wanted to know if having my laptop set to ondemand, will this affect performance in any way? I realize it increases the clock speed to performance when the CPU is under load, but does the time it take to go from ondemand to performance affect speed? Will there be any noticeable difference between the two setups? I have a dual core intel at 2.2GHz when in performance. When ondemand is set with no load it downclocks to 800Mhz.

I have a custom built PC with a AMD 9650 2.3ghz quad core, 4gig of ram, nvidia geforce 9500gt graphics card. With windows 7 my movies look immaculate but I want that from Linux. My first problem consists of lines in my players. To test out the performance I am playing Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children Complete Blu-Ray. The video file has been ripped and placed on the HD. MPlayer has lines everywhere, VLC is very good but line every once in a while, XBMC plays bout as well as VLC. The first part that confused me was how MPlayer was worse off. I have followed all the stickies and this is a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10. The Second problem I am having is getting my onboard audio to work. My board comes with 8 channel audio support but my 2 side/back speakers wont work. I have messed with the application settings and the actual settings in Sound Preferences.
Here is a link to my board specs

I'm trying to get the best performance/quality on my my 10.04 box and i have a few questions regarding 'sync to vblank'. My first question : I see 'sync to vblank' in 3 different locations.
- In compiz display settings
- In NVidia XVideo settings
- In NVidia OpenGLX settings
What is the difference between the 3 ?
Second question : I used to have problems watching movies where the picture seemed to be cut in half ( i'm not a native english speaker so i don't know the technical term). After reading some forums, i enabled sync to vblank everywhere i saw it. That solved the movie problem. But maybe that was overkill ?
So i did some benchmarking and noticed the following :
When i disable 'sync to vblank' in compiz my compiz benchmark drops from 60 to 30. But then my movies look worse.When i disable 'sync to vblank' in NVidia OpenGlx my GlxGears framerate jumps from 300 to 36000.I didn't notice anything when changing vsync in the NVidia XVideo setting. System specs below.
Ubuntu 10.04 64b
Nvidia GT 230 1536MB
NVIDIA Driver Version : 195.36.24

I've installed an older Intel/Compaq Evo machine with a single core 2.0 Ghz. processor and 2 GB of DDR ram in our livingroom, for movie viewing purposes. I'm intentionally using Xubuntu 11.04 without 3D to keep the used resources down to a minimum. There are no 3D games on this machine either since I'm using it strictly for watching movies on our TV. The graphic card is integrated with the 845 chipset/mainboard. It does receive up to 64 MB of Ram though which is drawn directly from the onboard 2 GB DDR. The following links provided me some linux related info. about this chip but I honestly have no idea how to use that since the intellinux site is set up horribly (IMO).
[URL]So with a 2 Ghz. processor, low resources, 2 GB of DDR, of which 64 MB is dedicated to the graphic chip, I figured that playing movies wouldn't be a problem .. and it's almost not. I can play wmf, avi, mp3, and other codecs without any problem at all. Even BlueRay works fine as long as they're AVIs. But as soon as I try to play an MP4 movie the experience gets very unpleasant. No crashes, just endless stuttering and sometimes lack of audio. Is there perhaps some way that I can improve that performance permanently without buying another graphic card? The machine is an ultra slim form factor so I can't even add a narrow format card to it.I'm stuck with the embedded 64 MB chip but I'm hoping that someone here can help me to get the most out of it

I have A dell vostro v13. I am have installed LMMS which runs ok if I put minimal demands on it but if I start putting to many demands on it like running More then three Zynaddsubfx plugins or multiple sample players the cpu moniter goes into the red and it starts to sound bad and slow down a great deal. I know a small laptop is probably not the best choice to run a DAW on unless it has a good processor but this is the only computer I currently have and I really like LMMS. Is there any way I can get more performance out of my computer? I looked a little into overclocking but dell Bios Does not allow for this. Is there any tricks that I can do to get LMMS to perform better given the limitations of my system?

my friend has a dell inspiron 4600 desktop that we recently install ubuntu on to replace windows xp on. now when we try to play some hd videos in vlc player it's pretty low frame rate but i'm not sure why. if we play 720p on videos it's pretty low frame rate too. in windows xp he could play these videos flawlessly. we tried installing a nvidia driver but it stops the desktop from working. in 10.04 the driver installed fine, however, in 10.10 after installing the driver on next boot it would start up at just a terminal. not a terminal window but just a black screen with white text on the entire monitor. i could only fix it by editing the xorg.conf changing a field that said "device: nvidia" to "device: nv". that driver may also be causing a problem.
if i cannot find a solution we will reinstall windows xp which i rather not do because i think ubuntu runs better. also, we installed xubuntu-desktop package so we are running xfce instead of gnome.

Is there anything I can do in Ubuntu 11.04 to get the Intel 945GM to work more stable and run faster? It won't load the Unity interface at ALL. It won't load the Classic Desktop unless I use the one without effects, or else the title bars disappear. Is there something I can do to make it more stable, and run more efficiently?

Is there anything that can be done to increase video streaming performance?The general impression I got is that it's mainly an adobe problem and not much can be done, though currently streaming is nearly unwatchable. When I switch from full screen to normal size many of the players freeze, ..... HD is unwatchable etc.

Does anyone know of a program that can create effects like reverb/echo during a live performance? I like Audacity, but it seems you can only do this kind of stuff to audio that has already been recorded, not while you are performing it live.

I posted a few weeks ago about Flash performance in Firefox vs. Google Chrome. Thanks to all those who responded. I finally figured out the problem in Firefox, it was Compiz desktop effects. With effects off, flash in Firefox is just as fast as Google Chrome. I am not sure why Compiz only affects Firefox Flash, but apparently Chrome is not affected. I know there are a lot of posts about this topic, so before driving yourself nuts installing FlashAid, and running terminal commands, try disabling desktop effects first.

Using either MPlayer or mplayer2 under the video player SMplayer, when clicking on any drop-down menus, the video will freeze and then skip. Once the drop-down menu animation has completed, the video playback will play normally. This happens when using VDPAU to play back H.264 MKV files. Audio playback of the video is never interrupted. why VDPAU will not play nice with SMplayer & Compiz?

AMD BE-2400

My problem is that my computer plays MTS videos very bad (the videos get freeze, etc) in Ubuntu 11.04. I tested many players, but I didn't get good performance during the playback in any of them.
However, in the same computer, I use K-Lite Codec Pack in Windows XP and MTS videos are fine!
Is there any way to play MTS videos in Ubuntu very well?
Performance is excellent in both operating systems (XP and Ubuntu 11.04).

So for the last, oh, three or four hours now, I've been trying to get videos to play properly in Ubuntu. I have the default player, I have vlc, I (apparently) installed mplayer, but it won't play anything at all.
I was having horrible screen tearing with standard definition .avi's in vlc, fixed that by setting vsync in catalyst control center to always on or whatever it is.
Now, I have tried to run a 720p x264 video. It PLAYS, but not well. Audio is fine, however video is all jerky in VLC, and in Totem it's just a mess of screen tearing (although the video does no jerk on that player).
I have just spent HOURS trying to get VIDEOS TO PLAY. This makes no sense. Playing a video should be the simplest thing in the world for any OS to do, but with Ubuntu it is like pulling teeth. I have NEVER been so frustrated while using a computer. What is going on here?
BTW, I installed every single thing needed to use mplayer but it still does not work. The player comes up but will not play any type of file.
My system specs:
2.2Ghz dual core (intel)
3gb ram
1GB radeon hd 4650 vid card
asus ipibl-lb mobo
I was really enjoying Ubuntu until I got around to trying to watch some videos. Now I am maybe minutes away from going back to vista. At least on there I can watch full 1080p videos if I want with no problems.
