Fedora Hardware :: ATI ES1000 And IOGrear With Poor Resolution
Jun 23, 2011
I have upgraded my two boxes from FC6 to FC14 and I find a bit of a problem in configuring/ detecting monitor with IOGear with dual port.The resolution on one box is good but the other is very poor.The bad one contains ATI ES1000 video adapter and I searched drivers and posts, and finally no promising results.If I connect my Samsung monitor directly to the box then the resolution is good but it is very bad when I connect through IOGear.
I was also trying to configure monitor settings manually and to get to that I was trying to boot without X. This I could not succeed. I thought if I do init 3 and reboot the machine it would give me a terminal but I always get the desktop.

I've installed Fedora 12, with the "basic video option." I've also installed an ATI driver via -- sh ./ati-driver-installer-9-12-x86.x86_64.run. However, in spite of installing the ATI driver, the resolution is poor. Rather than using the entire screen, only a reduced portion is visible/used. How to resolve this, so I can use the entire screen?

I have a HP dv6314tx laptop with Nvidia Geforce Go 7400 graphics card. Recently I installed 10.04. Without installing any nvidia drivers my boot screen resolution and desktop resolution were fine. But I cudn't activate Extra Visual effects and so I installed nvidia drivers. Now the problem is that Extra visual effects work just fine. But during the boot, the splash screen has a very poor resolution.

I've installed Suse linux 11.3 (kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5) on my brand new computer HP all in one 5130. Everything worked incredibly well : Wifi, wireless keyboard and mouse, sound, webcam.. There is only one remaining issue : I get a very poor resolution (1280x1024) instead of the 1920x1080 allowed by the screen. The graphic card is an intel chipset (HD graphics) integrated to an intel core i3 CPU. Here is (part of) the X11.org log :
Code:
X.org X Server 1.8.0

There is a nice server that I want to install Redhat 5, update 5 on. I downloaded, from Oracle edelivery, the Linux 64 bit, Redhat 5, Update 5, and wrote it to bootable CD.
"V20658-01.zip","611558646","0C35737CD35BC26C212D205DF064CE2A","D0C7EF7CFF9635FECFDDB6BB724B1523851C1733","O racle Linux Release 5 Update 5 for x86_64 (64 Bit) - CD 1 of 6" and the other 6 CDs. However, when I went to test the install, I saw the messages:
Probing for video card: ATI Technologies ES1000
Failed to start X server.
Attempting to start VESA X. Failed.
[code]....
This is very odd, for a few reasons:
- the card is a few years old, and the distribution is new.
- Windows finds the correct information for this card, that it is an Nvidea card.
- A different simpler card gave the same error message (NVidea GEForce 6800)

I upgraded a HP Proliant server to openSUSE 11.4 (X86-64) with KDE, and I'm encountering various graphical problems. This machine's been running SUSE versions since 11.0 on similar hardware with few major issues, and I did the 'upgrade' by a new install keeping only /home partition intact. This Server has 10GB memory. It has a PCI ATI ES1000 with 64MB and uses the radeon driver. It boots up fine under the monitor's correct resolution of 1600*1000, but
1) It flickers one time each 4 of 5 seconds
2) during works more and more memory is used : starting at 9% and going up to 51% after 20 minutes and I receive then allocation error in /var/log/messages

I was wondering if anyone else ran into and issue with 11.3 with an IBM x3650 server using the embedded graphics card. As a reference this exact machine was working under 11.2. I am aware that there were significant changed in how video works in 11.3.
While installing and during the initial start of the operating system I can see graphical output, OPEN SUSE logo and such.
During the boot process the screen goes blank. The server is still running and I am able to ssh to the machine, but there is no access to the console.
Below is a segment of the /var/log/boot.msg that shows some errors. I can provide more logs if that would assist in tracking this down.
I did a quick google search on ES1000 and i2c and saw the same errors reported with Ubuntu version but nothing for OPENSUSE. There seemed to be a bug that was fixed in that kernel.
<6>[ 2.277737] [drm] radeon: cp idle (0x00008080)
<6>[ 2.277767] [drm] Loading R100 Microcode

<6>[ 2.279476] [drm] ring test succeeded in 1 usecs
code....
This is a new install and the machine is not yet in production so I have the option to experiment with it a bit.

I am currently working on a large document using LATEX and have bumped into a problem. Here is the thing: I write this document in several machines, there is a Mac at school, some Ubuntu based machine, and this Fedora 12 x64 laptop. The thing is that I compile the document periodically on these machines and I WOULD expect the results to be similar, but they are not because the resulting PDF is of inferior quality! (fonts do not look very well when they are zoomed in).
Mac OSX's latex-produced-PDFs are of higher quality than their Linux counterparts. Is there something I can do to fix that? Install an extra package perhaps?

After taking a first look onto internet under Fedora linux (using Firefox web browser) I've saw that every single image is displayer much much worse than in same Firefox under Windows. Especially when scaling, it became pixelized, but even without scaling it is smoothen very much. I've checked Konqueror but quality is bad too and the same as in Firefox. What could be the reason and how could I fix it?
BTW, everything in linux GUI looks a little worse, including font, etc, looks smooth. Images under IrfanView too, but not as bad as in browsers. Proprietary Nvidia driver from RPMfusion is installed and 3D works. But running Fedora under VirtualBox in Windows produce same bad quality as in native Fedora.

I've recently bought a Toshiba Satellite U500-10V and I've managed to get F12 work on it pretty well. However, I still have some minor issues. One of them is related to PDF document rendering.Basically, every picture in a PDF document is distorted or grainy(I don't know if this is correct English ^^"). Things get a little better when I use Acrobat Reader insted of Evince... but the difference is slight. Take a look at the attached scr

I use chrony on my laptop thinking it would be better for it than ntp because I'm frequently connecting and disconnecting from wireless cafe access points and going in and out of suspend mode. But I've also noticed that if chrony is started before the access point is connected it never syncs to the time servers. I have to manually restart it via the service command after I connect. This doesn't seem right to me, if chrony fails to find a network at start time, doesn't it periodically try again ?

I just upgraded to f15 x86_64. I use a VPCCEB3Z1E vaio laptop and I noticed that my laptop can't last more than half past an hour running from battery in wireless productivity (just surfing the net and make some word processing, so nothing so heavy...) I use kde 4, installed cpupowerutils (replacement for cpufrequtils), put the modules acpi_cpufreq, cpufreq-ondemand -powersave and the other governors in /etc/rc.d/rc.local for loading them at boot. Edited profiles in powerdevil (every profile has cpupowerutils freq-set -g and the name of a governor) but i still notice no changes. How I can get a better power management on this laptop? Fan still runs at high speed.

I'm using a remix of F14 called Fusion Linux. It's all the same as fedora14. It's come preinstalled with xorg x11 nouveau driver. So, i'm not using Nvidia driver. Now, the problem is that the graphics in wine application are really poor. Fonts appear to be really hazy. See this image to get me better: [URL].. In earlier version of fedora and wine, i used nvidia driver. Graphics used to be good at that time.

I bought new webcam Trust WB-1400T, connected to my Fedora and got very dark picture with probably bad whitebalance, while on windows, result is much better with the same device.
I tried:
1) HW check, verified - running OK
2) checked, if HW is supported. it is by driver gspca_pac207 with 5 stars
3) dmesg:
4) lsmod :
5) modinfo:
It should be 0x093a Ox2468 , but this isn't rootcause.. or ? it's listed in module aliases..
I also tried to adjust camera using v4l

I have problem with onboard ATI ES1000. Server details:
Supermicro X7SBI, Q6600, 8G ram. Centos 5.5 minimal installation, without X.
Problem is that with all kernel-xen x86_64 from current kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.x86_64 back to kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.el5.x86_64 after kernel boots monitor goes blank and says "no video, going to power save".
Google finds similar problems and sugestions was to add "nomodeset". With this option monitor also blanks after kernel boot, but says "out of range". Other options to modify xorg.conf does not apply, becouse there is no X installed.
I try with multiple monitors, without success. This happens only with 64bit kernel-xen. All other 32 and 64 bit kernels and 32bit kernel-xen works fine, video is ok. This happens to 6 servers, all are same hardware, used as cluster. Installation with "linix text" allways is fine, video disappears after first reboot when standart kernel is booted. I also tryed with almost all possible "vga=xxxx" kernel options and none of them works.
What else to try?

I have googled this and I refuse to believe the answer is "older video card" or "ubuntu". Does anyone know what boot parameters to use or how to get Fedora to start the install process in a resolution other than the "Optimum resolution"? resolution=640x40 vga=ask. These do not work. They set the debug display but when the graphical portion starts it defaults to the "optimum resolution" and the message displays "Cannot Display This Video Mode". As you consider the answer, think this is a new computer, blank hard disk, etc. I am installing Fedora 10. Tried 11 and Vista seems less buggy, prefer 10 or 9.

Ever since I upgraded to 9.10, I've had poor sound quality. There is occasional popping, hissing ans just generally poor sound. I've found several posts about loss of sound but no solution for bad sound quality. Didn't there used to be a way to select your sound in Ubuntu? I remember having a pull down choice of ALSA, Pulse or OSS. I can't find that any more and Pulse seems to be deemed the culprit in other posts I've read. How do I change to ALSA or OSS?

i'm trying to run ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex on an old hand-me-down laptop that i got from a family member, and i've noticed that the performance is actually much worse than it was on windows xp professional (32-bit).
first of all let me give you my specs:
ibm thinkpad r32
intel mobile pentium 4-m 2.0 ghz
ati radeon mobility m6 (i think this is actually the mobility radeon 7000 igp) with 16mb ram
256 mb ram (pc-2100)
i understand that these are very low performance specs, but it feels like the computer is running very sluggishly even for those specs. the computer ran just fine in windows xp, but is extremely sluggish in ubuntu. it seems like it detected all the hardware just fine, but i feel like it may not be utilizing the cpu and/or video to the extent that it should be. a couple of places where it really seems to struggle is when first opening new programs, viewing flash intensive web 2.0 type webpages (i.e. videos), and listening to music/podcasts (with rhythmbox).
it seems like rhythmbox really kills my performance more than anything else, but the performance is poor all around compared to xp, and i feel like that shouldn't be the case. like i said, i understand that the specs are poor, but it feels like it's not even living up to those specs. i know that 8.10 is old and outdated now, but it's what i had laying around and i figured that it might perform better on this old deprecated laptop than 9.10 would anyway. am i wrong in this assumption? would 9.10 perform better for me?

I have an 8Gb mkv file, which I tried to encode to avi using mencoder, it took more than 6hrs and when completed, the quality of the avi was pretty poor.Is there a way to increase the quality or is there a program that can encode mkv files? The mkv will not play on my system without stuttering badly.

Barebones installation. Manually start x with 'startx'. For some weird reason, the resolution randomly sets to either 1024x768 or 800x600. How do I permanently set a resolution?

The quality of sound I am getting is very poor with lots of noises.I'm using openSUSE 11.4 on a DELL Inspiron 6400, and the sound is "82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller".I have tried removing pulseaudio but it did not change anything.I had no problem with the sound on 11.2 and the quality of sound is normal on Windows.

I'm trying to connect to the wireless netwrok of my university, which does NOT require any password. When the computer starts is automatically connects to the network and it always worked well, but now a message appears that says "authentication required" and it says that the network requires some sort of password or key. This is weird because it had never given me the problem. The options in the box are "Cancel" and "Connect", but "Connect" cannot be marked. There's also a dropdown box in the box that says "Security Type" and the option is "none". No other option is available for marking. After canceling the message and trying to connect like 50 times, I finally got a very poor connections. My email took forever to open and I opened the terminal to download something that someone said had solved the problem
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux backports-modules-jaunty
But it has taken forever to download, which proves the connection is working but it's in really bad shape. Any hints on how I may solve this? I read several bug reports and fixes similar to the problem, but they were very old (apparently a bug that was in Gutsy and then continued in some cases in Jaunty).
EDIT: Now I definitely can't connect. One strange thing was that at my house I couldn't connect either, but this time because I didn't even had the wireless option available anymore. I went to Hardware Drivers and realized 2 things:There were 2 drivers recognized, which is weird because I had always had only one, which is the Broadcom STA Wireless Driver, and there was another one, also wireless related,. but which name I don't remember Both drivers were deactivated, which again is strange because the STA was always activated before.
I activated the STA driver only. because I feared that two activated wireless drivers may have conflicted with each other. The Wireless started working again and I connected to internet with no problem. My home connection, by the way, needs a password.Now, back in University, whose wireless does not need password, the same problem happens. It says "Authentication required by wireless network" "Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'UC'." The a dropdown box with the title "Wireless Security" and with the only option available marked: "None". The the options in the dialogue boz are Cancel and Connect, which cannot be chosen.

I just built a home media server. It's using a Gigabyte E350N-USB3 motherboard with the AMD Fusion processor. So far, everything seems to be working fair enough. However, when it comes to video playback via an HDMI cable to my TV, it's unwatchable. It is okay during slow scenes, but any sudden movement or high action scenes and the problem becomes obvious.I don't know how to explain it other than it appears to have a problem refreshing quickly enough. I see horizontal lines across the film. I originally thought it might be due to low quality AVI files, but I just tried a DVD and it did it just the same.
I'm pretty knew to Ubuntu, so I'm not sure if there are some settings I can tweak, or if I am missing some drivers. Any ideas on where to start?

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop that was given to me. It is having a lot of lag issues,especially when playing videos and visiting websites using flash. It's an Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz machine. I think that it should perform better because I had used and AMD Sempron 2.0GHz machine with Ubuntu before and video playback was much better than this. I'm thinking that my problem is the graphics card driver. Here is the card that this machine has:
Code:
:~$ lspci | grep Radeon
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M
The AMD machine was using a VIA graphics chipset.
I used the command "Xorg -configure" to create a xorg.conf file, hoping that might help. But it didn't. Here it is:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
[Code]...
Is there any tweaking that I can do in the xorg.conf that might help? I don't know which of those options I should set. I also tried changing the driver to "ati" but that did nothing. found some info for settings with "man radeon", I'm going to try some of those out.

I have an ATI RADEON 7000 (taken from lspci) 64 MB graphics card. My computer has a 700 MHz Celeron CPU and 650 MB RAM with Ubuntu 10.04. Anything graphical is slow. I cannot even play basic games like SuperTux. I think it is a graphics driver problem. Will this card ever work well with Linux, what do I need to do?
