Debian Multimedia :: Remove/change Software Rasterizer To Hardware Acceleration?
Apr 2, 2010
I'm having Asus F5RL Notebook and having ATI Radeon Xpress 1100. I can watch movie and play games in GL before this. Now everything seems very very slow after a full system upgrade. (Suspected xorg causing the problem)
I'm following the [URL]..AtiHowTo to setup my graphic card. How to remove/change software rasterizer to hardware acceleration? I'm enjoying full hardware speed before this dear experienced user

I've made a persistent live USB out of an amd64 Cinnamon iso, but it has problems running on my old Dell XPS Studio 16.The laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670, and all needed packages are installed (Xorg, libgl1-mesa-dri, xserver-xorg-video-radeon and firmware-linux-nonfree), but the system starts without video hardware acceleration.I've read that I have, in this case, to tell to use the srivers in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. To do it, I first stop lightdm and do it in tty, but it fails with a long output.how can I give you that tty output? I tried both with > and with tee, but the file I indicate as output is created empty.

Running Squeeze, with kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64. I do not find out how to enable 3d acceleration with my Intel 945 embedded graphics card. Also having very (i mean VERY) slow scrolling in some webpages (such as apple website, or danielestulin.com website). I tested the following "Hardware Acceleration Stress Test" with Epiphany, Iceweasel and Firefox, and the best rate I get is only 3 fps...[URL].. I tested the Chess game included with default Squeeze install, running in 3d mode, and definetely there is no acceleration at all...
Here's my glxinfo output:
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:

All of the videos on tennistv are flash. The pre-recorded videos seem to play okay using iceweasel and flashplugin-nonfree but the CPU is very high. When she watches live streamed matches the video stalls and jumps, so I have been trying to figure out why. Tennistv support people say that Linux isn't supported and that streaming is "harder" but don't explain why. They suggested using Google chrome, which did seem to work as well as iceweasel but no better. In desparation I tried XP and it was much better and uses much less CPU.
The only difference I could think of was that flash video hardware acceleration works by default in XP, so I started reading up on Flash video acceleration for linux. The latest Adobe flash player releases appear to support video acceleration, but it's switched off by default. So I upgraded to the latest version and did and then restarted iceweasal if you right click on a flash video you can set hardware acceleration in a tick box, but that seems to be there whether the above is config file is there or not there isn't a live tennis match on again until June 6th. How can I tell if hardware acceleration is actually working or not? The PC is has a 3GHz CPU and 1G RAM. Seems nuts that it can't play video properly. Its a Dell SX280.

I've been trying to get hardware acceleration (Direct Rendering) working on my system without success. I'm not even sure if my card supports DR or not, my searchs haven't turned up a result for this question. I don't know if its the video card, nvidia packages or bad configurations. Any help with the diagnosis?

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) & recently added Ubuntu Studio to it. For quite some time, I'm trying to enable direct 3d acceleration on a virtual XP SP3 machine running over VMware Workststion 7.0.1.
As per VMware forums & many other sites, 3d hardware acceleration is supported for XP as guest provided that host Linux version is supported by the VMware product running that VM.
The forum also says that Ubuntu 9.10 is now supported by Workstation 7.0.1.
So: I have a supported version of host (Ubuntu 9.10) XPSP3 as guest. Latest version of VMware tools installed. Still I don't get hardware acceleration for the guest XP VM.

I installed Debian without desktop enviroment and then I aptitude installed fluxbox, everything worked fine, but I wanted to try LXDE so I purged fluxbox and installed LXDE.But my old computer is too slow now. I purged the LXDE, but it is still here and it didn`t remove as many packages as it installed them, I also removed lxde-core, but it continues to work.
How could I get back to non-desktop enviroment without reinstalling the whole system?

I'm trying to configure my Wacom tablet in Ubuntu (9.4) and it's working pretty well!
I have one issue though.
In Windows (with the Wacom drivers) I have the option to set both Mouse Speed and Mouse Acceleration (see attached screen shot). I normally like to increase acceleration and decrease speed.
In Linux (with xsetwacom) I can only find one, SpeedLevel. Is it so, or are there any other way to configure it?

After I installed the system (Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit), I wanted to turn the owner driver (nvidia-current) on in order to gain hardware graphics acceleration, among others 3D acceleration.When I installed this driver and restarted the computer, it appeared that the error message shows up: Code:(EE) No devices detected.No screens found.If I want to have any window based environment at all, I have to go back to the previous settings, without this driver.
The only solution I found so far on the Internet tells to turn this driver off at all, what means no 3D acceleration.Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution? Is there any possibility to turn hardware acceleration on for this card on Ubuntu?

I just installed Debian Stable on an old HP Mini 110-1033CA netbook. glxinfo indicates that I have Intel 945GME graphics. xserver-xorg-video-intel package is installed but neither google-chrome stable nor Firefox 29 appear to be able to use hardware acceleration. "about:support" and "chrome://gpu" both show that hardware acceleration is unavailable.
How can I get my graphics hardware working?

I installed aptosid ( ex-sidux), based on debian sid. It uses xfce manager.
On the desktop I have many icons ( like other patitions, trash, ..), I want to remove them, where to do it,they don't appear in the Desktop directory (they are not links).
By the way, I think, if I really understand it ??, xrandr replaces xorg, I can't find the file used by xrandr unlike xorg uses xorg.conf.

Today I installed the latest Ubuntu, added VLC and... the acceleration is not there. When I compiled VLC myself on 9.04 I had a checkbox to enable hardware acceleration in the FFMPEG codec settings but this checkbox is not present in the VLC that was downloaded to my 10.04 by default.am I doing something wrong or is the hardware acceleration simply not there? And what do I have to do to enable it? Is FFmpeg in 10.04 compiled with VAAPI support? Is VLC in 10.04 compiled with VAAPI support? Do I need to recompile both or just on of them? I have just updated my system and now I'm not able to watch the family movies from my HD camcorder.

I've tried watching material in 1080p resolution on my notebook and i experienced some slowdowns, tearing, etc. Video is encoded by x264 and sound is flac 5.1, all in mkv container. I know it's quite heavy one, but it was playing quite good on windows+CoreAVC, so i expect no less from my shiny Ubuntu I did a bit of googling and found out that AVIVO/UVD/Whatever is already turned on by default in fglrx drivers when using Xv, yet CPU is struggling on 90-100% load. Is there a way to turn hardware decoding on? It doesn't seem to work by "default" (or i'm too desperate to acknowledge that hardware acc is already on and still struggling to decode this ).
Specs of my notebook:
Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4200 2.0 GHz
Mobility Radeon HD4570 256MB with fglrx from maverick repo
3GB RAM (doh!)
mplayer and codecs from medibuntu repo
mplayer uses -vo xv -va pulse , ffh264 and ffflac codecs

I was looking at purchasing a radeon x1300 for a multimedia pc for my lounge and was wondering if anyone knew whether hardware video acceleration with this card was supported with ubuntu? I read that on the ati website that it does support mpeg2,4, etc video acceleration,but didn't know if this was so for ubuntu. I have a few bluray quality movies that I would be interested in playing, so hardware video acceleration is a must.

I'm currently running a three-monitor setup, two of the monitors being connected to an NVIDIA card, and the third being connected to the motherboard's onboard ATI adapter. This works, and it actually works quite well, but after installing the nvidia-current drivers (using the GNOME dialog), I am unable to get any video acceleration going. The GLX module doesn't seem to want to load, and while I'm actually quite impressed with the video performance I'm getting with the open-source drivers, I'd really like to have the OpenGL capability, as it does make things look prettier.
Relevant configs and logs are below.
I should clarify - I don't care about the 3rd monitor on the ATI adapter; I'm only concerned with getting OpenGL working on the two on the NVIDIA - if that's possible, which it may not be...

There is a folder in my home titled 'gtk-3.0,' which continues to reappear even after I have deleted it. The reappearance of the folder seems to occur after using lxappearance to change the themes. I will not be participating in the headaches of the switch from gtk2 to gtk3, just as I did not participate in the headaches of the switch from KDE 3 to 4. So the following are my questions;1. Is it possible to permanently delete the gtk-3.0 folder so that it can not ever reappear in my home? (And why is it appearing there anyway? Shouldn't it be hidden with a dot?)2. If I can not prevent this folder from appearing in my home, is there a setting I can use in Wheezy to block gtk3 libs and apps from installation? Presently, the only gtk3 lib or app shown by aptitude search is libcanberra-gtk3-0, but I can't remove it due to notification-daemon dependencies.3. If I switch from all gtk2 apps to all KDE apps will that solve the problem of gtk3 placing a completely unnecessary folder in my home?

Out of curiosity I was wondering if adobe 10.1 beta in Linux now supports hardware acceleration?
Most of my googles on this topic refer me to comments made years ago.
If the adobe player still doesn't support hardware acceleration has any open source player provided support yet?

My system is a 2.0Ghz Dual Core PowerMac G5 Ram 16Gb - 2Tb HDD - It is running Jessie 8.3 [new Install] and seems stable enough.....! My system is showing the message below on boot up, but I don't know why? I have had to disable the 3D video acceleration with a Yaboot parameter "nouveau.noaccel=1' to get the system to load KDE. I am also having some bluetooth headaches (along with many other people apparently).

I initially installed Debian Lenny on my system but couldn't get sound to work so I upgraded to squeeze hoping that the newer kernel would somehow fix that. Unfortunately, the update caused the screen to flash on and off starting at the login screen - I'd get a split second with the screen on and then it would go off for a second or two. The boot screen still allows me to boot from Lenny's linux kernel, and that still works. I also had this problem when I installed ubuntu on this computer so after some searching around I remembered that adding radeon.modeset=0 as a boot option fixed this. Now the screen no longer flashes, but everything is really slow - I think that disabled graphics acceleration? After some searching around it seems that these problems are probably caused by something called KMS in newer linux kernels but I don't really know.
Anyway, does anyone have any ideas as to how I could turn on graphics acceleration again without having the screen flashing on and off? Or suggestions for making sound work? I think in the past (on ubuntu) I ended up having to enable the proprietary graphics driver, but on the other linux distros i've tried I used proprietary graphics and flash and my computer got slower and slower and started to crash, so I'd rather stick to the open source driver if possible - i don't need really need 3d acceleration. Stability is the reason I switched to debian. My computer is running Debian squeeze amd64, intel core 2 duo e8400, ati radeon 4830, 4 gigs of ram. relevant results from lspci: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV770 LE [Radeon HD 4800 Series] 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc HD48x0 audio maybe part of the audio problem is that there are two audio devices listed?

I'm using Debian Jessie with nvidia, and i am unable to disable mouse acceleration.
I have tried using this config in xorg.conf.d but without success.
Code:
Select all Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse"
MatchIsPointer "yes"
Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
Option "AccelerationScheme" "none"
EndSection
In the xorg log it seems as if the devices are incorrectly recognized
Code:
Select all[ 6.786] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse (/dev/input/event9)
[ 6.786] (**) Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse: Applying InputClass "evdev keyboard catchall"
[ 6.786] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse'
[ 6.786] (**) Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse: always reports core events
[ 6.786] (**) evdev: Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/event9"
[ 6.786] (--) evdev: Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse: Vendor 0x2516 Product 0x1d
[ 6.786] (--) evdev: Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse: Found 1 mouse buttons
[Code] ....
Here it seems as if the mouse is recognized twice, once as a mouse and once as a keyboard, where it says "Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1" so I'm wondering if this is what causing the problem with mouse acceleration not working.
However my USB headset also seems to be recognized as a keyboard in the xorg log, but it works just fine. In xinput list and xfce mouse settings, the mouse is listed twice and even the keyboard is listed as a mouse.
Code:
Select allVirtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Keyboard id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
[Code] ....
in dmesg, the mouse is also listed twice, once as a mouse and once as a keyboard
Code:
Select all[ 5.891478] input: Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb6/6-1/6-1:1.0/0003:2516:001D.0002/input/input11

I installed Lenny on my HP/Compaq nx6125 (the Sempron 32 bit model). Although X is running OK, I can't get video acceleration working. Games like Nexuiz are unusable, and programs like Stellarium and Google Earth simply fail to load. i attached some information below.
Currently, I had the free radeon driver installed. The non-free fglxr drivers are available, but I read that they do not support old chipsets like the 200M. I would like to know some pointers or instructions on how to get acceleration working. Most of the information I read seems to be outdated.

I just set up my Debian Squeeze (previously I was an Ubuntu/Kubuntu user) with KDE and Catalyst 10.8 to run my HD5070 graphics card. I've read alot on various forums of all the 5xxx users like me unable to properly setup the system and others who say thier video watching, wine game playing and composition are working fine. The problem is tearing while playing video or manipulating windows within the DE. I have read ALOT about this subject as it is obviously very important to me. I've read alot 60+ page threads on phoronics full of names like xv and libva and about using mplayer with gl so on and so forth. Problem is, I can't find a wiki to explain how they mesh together. My questions are:
1. Are certain libraries compiled with acceleration support?
2. If so, why are other libraries not compiled with acceleration support?
3. I get a feeling the libraries these guys are using are different ffmpeg and stuff that those in the repos. Are they?
4. If so, where do you get them?
In short, how does one get compositing and watch a movie tear free (the tearing occurs with or without compositing)? No amount of xorg.conf playing fixes it and the driver is properly installed with direct rendering.

I thought I'd have a go at putting back sysvinit to run the start up daemons, after I discovered that upgrading to jessie removed it and slapped on systemd.
I didn't have any problems at all with systemd, infact it was pure speed at start-up, but after some reading I thought I'd like to go back to usual start-up scripts.
What I did was to boot a Live Debian and mount and chroot into my Debian system, then I ran
Code: Select allsudo apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove systemd
sudo apt-get install sysvinit-core sysvinit sysvinit-utils
On reboot, I hit a grub rescue prompt which says error: file not found.
Trying the methods to get that sorted out gets stuck with "unknown file system" after I use ls and ls(hd1,msdos2) -as well as other combinations - it only seems to work for a plugged in flash drive.
Then I chroot again and run update-grub and grub-install /dev/sdb but reboot still stops at grub rescue.
So I wonder, firstly, why replacing systemd mucked up grub. Then, besides re-install of systemd, how do I get a booting system?
