I'm going to play w/ OpenCL on Fedora 15. I instaled their (AMD) SDK, and need to install their ICD driver. But I heard, that there are problems w/ AMD proprietary video driver with Gnome 3 shell. Does anyone have an experience with this configuration?My machine has Phenom II and ATI 4750 video.
View 2 Replieswhat the prepackaged proprietary nvidia driver is missing to run compiled OpenCL programs.
I have the pre-packaged proprietary nvidia driver from [URL] and the package is missing some files, like lobOpenCL.so, which I extracted from the .run file and put manually in the /usr/lib64 directory toether with creating some symlinks. I can compile my opencl programs fine (C | // // File: hello.c // - Anonymous - 3BF2vDzc - [URL], Getting started with OpenCL and GPU Computing), but when I run, the firsr opencl-related function clGetPlatformIDs returns an error code.
Again, I try to figure out what the prepackaged driver is missing. If I use the nvidia .run script driver, the problem probably does not exist. CUDA executables run fine (compiled on an other opensuse machine without nvidia card)

I used the ATI executable to install the ATI videocard driver and now my Fedora install wont boot at all... it stops mid-bootup and the screen flickers and it just hangs. Is there any way for me to rescue my install with a Live CD or Live Media?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy laptop screen suddenly fails to show anything else than a black screen. Hence I would like to connect it to another external screen in order to debug and/or data backup for a new computer.When I connect it to an external screen and boot the system (Fedora 13) I see the different services getting started succesfully on the screen. In the end of the boot procedure usually my proprietary Nvidia driver loads (recognized by the big Nvidia logo) - but this fails to show up on the external display. So from the point where the Nvidia driver usually loads I have no working display.
I think I know why. It's because I installed a proprietary Nvidia driver and saved the configuration in Xorg.conf - and the saved configuration does not include this particular external display. So now the driver insist on starting on the non-functional laptop display.
Here comes the question: can I somehow stall the boot process (while it is shown on the external display) and disable the driver (and delete the Xorg.conf file)?
I'm still trying to learn the ropes on linux as a whole and I've run into sort of a huge dilema. I wanted to connect my laptop to my TV via VGA.

I searched the internet and found the guide below because the guide provided here did not specify Quadro family graphics cards[URL]I followed the "easy method" to the T. Now I cannot boot into Fedora 15 at all (I'm stuck on bloody Windows 7 again ). It simply freezes at the boot animation (the "F" in the bubble). What can I do to fix this
View 10 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Fedora 14 KDE and NVIDIA proprietary driver for GeForce FX 5200. I'm able to change the resolution to 1920x1080 (Acer H213H 21.5" lcd monitor), but when I restart the box, I lose these settings and I have to fiddle with NVIDIA and KDE monitor settings until I get the settings back.
Here is my xorg.conf file:
Code:
Is this (in)correct? What else can I try in order to keep my resolution at 1920x1080? When I restart, it reverts to 640x480.
I didn't have this problem before installing NVIDIA driver, however, I had visual anomalies and slowness in video refresh/repaint whenever moving windows. I don't want to go back to that so I'd like to see how to permanently propagate my resolution settings through reboots of this box. I've search multiple forums with no relevant hits as far as I was able to discern.
Under Fedora 12, I have installed the proprietary NVIDIA graphics driver successfully and am now attempting to use the onboard HDMI output. (The board has HDMI and VGA out built in.) I am getting a clear picture on the TV screen, although the edge of the screen output hangs off all edges of the physical screen. The HDMI audio output is being detected, but no sound come out of the TV when I switch the sound output from the Analog Sterio Duplex to HDMI Output in the Sound Preferences. Any suggestions, and what further information is required?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThere is one thing missing (I think) a clear guide to clearing out Nvidia and replacing it with nouveau. For all but hardened gamers, nouveau on 11.4 delivers. It also removes one more barrier to what I think is the intended goad of Tumbleweed.The problem IMHO is not that there are no clear guides. The problem is there are too many. No sooner does one person do a guide (that is clear) and someone else who does not like some point writes another guide that they think is more clear (but in fact is less clear in other aspects). And this goes on ad infinitum.IMHO we have too many guides - many of which are sufficient clear ... but the VAST number only serves to confuse users more.
Having typed that, IMHO this is NOT a Tumbleweed specific issue, but its MUCH WIDER in scope and hence does not belong as a discussion in this Tumbleweed thread.
is there some wiki page on GNOME or Fedora that list which graphics cards work without problems on Fedora 15 with GNOME Shell? I have tried 3 older cards and they all failed, so I would like to share this info with others so people know which cards to avoid if they want to use full features of GNOME 3 via GNOME Shell.

I've been running OpenSuSE 11.2 for some time now; my system is a Dell 64-bit with an ATI 46xx graphics card and I've used the proprietary ATI driver without difficulty, as the driver provided with OpenSuSE was pretty much unusable. I'm considering upgrading to v11.3, but there seem to be scattered horror stories involving ATI cards, particularly when it comes to ATI's proprietary driver.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed ATI 10.7 driver successfully but its not up to my expectations, e.g VLC not working right (video stutters, etc). And I want to revert back to the default radeon which was a lot better until the ATI 10.8 driver comes out.

And how do I revert back to 'radeon'?
I want to create diskless comupters for a lan party using an nfs root. My problem is that this root filesystem should be usable on different hardware (AMD / nVidia graphic cards) and I need the best performance.

I have used the NVidia proprietary drivers for awhile. Yes, I know about nv and I even know about the prepackaged ones, but I've never minded getting the latest from NVidia, dropping out of X, and running the install which automatically rebuilds everything.
I recently took the synaptic update to 2.6.32-24. It worked fine and -- I guess -- migrated my driver. I didn't think about it. For no particular reason today I tried to build the latest NVIDIA driver (256.53 -- had been on an earlier 256 series). The build failed with some conftest failures. Even trying to rebuild the working driver failed. Reverting to 2.6.32-23 allowed both to be built and they work. So something the NVIDIA installer is expecting headerwise must be different between 2.6.32-23 and -24.
Installing Mythbuntu 10.10, which I finally got installed properly. At first I installed the open-source video drivers just to make sure the installation worked, then I installed the "version current" proprietary drivers using the graphics drivers manager...tool...thing. However, when I restarted the computer, it has a text-mode splash screen and I stay in the first virtual terminal.
If I try to go to the GUI "terminal" [Ctrl-Alt-F7], it appears to be partway through some kind of check:
Code:
I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to try to get back to the open-source drivers, but it didn't give any text output and went straight to the next line of command prompt, when I restarted it did the exact same thing. Any tips for at least getting back to the open drivers? I'd like to not have to reinstall again (I'm dual-booting WinXP,). The card in question is a GeForce 6200 AGP.
I'm afraid I only have basic experience with *nix command lines and have only been using Ubuntu for a week, so I may require a little bit of hand holding on something as nuts-and-bolts as a driver issue.

The Symptoms/Experience: Under the default installation of Ubuntu, I have no sound. When I install the proprietary ATI drivers, I have sound. I can uninstall and reinstall the proprietary drivers and recreate this every time.
My only problem with using the proprietary driver is that there's a lot of problems with video playback that is fixed with the free, default driver. But when I use it, I have no sound and watching a movie is still not very fun. From everything I read, many people are using the provided ATI driver with sound and fixing that should be easier than fixing the ATI driver's video tearing, which has largely stumped the community. Having failed to install "OSS" and now having no sound with either driver, I'm probably going to reformat/reinstall today but am looking forward to fixing this issue.
I would like to get better 3D performance, so I decided to try the proprietary ATI driver. The Arch Wiki page about it (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Catalyst) isn't very helpful, I don't really understand it. It mentions different packages and something about some kernel modules, with no explanation at all about what they do and very poor instructions on how to use them.
I just tried installing "catalyst-daemon" from the AUR, but it just gives me a blank screen when I start X. Nothing happens when I try to use Ctrl+Alt+F2, and nothing happens when I try to blindly log in and enter "shutdown -r now" (I ended up pressing the Reset button). I uninstalled it (everything still worked fine as long as you don't start X), and now everything's back to normal.
I've been getting a little discouraged with my laptop and I've been finding a lot of machines with gt310m graphics. The driver page last I checked didn't list this as being supported by the proprietary driver, I was just wondering if there's anyone that has tried it, and what the results were.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have an nvidia card (GeForce 8800 GTX) and use the proprietary driver since I game a lot on wine (games like mass effect 2, prince of persia 2008, and some more recent games). I was wondering if using an equivalent ATI card with the free driver would show the same performance as my current on, or if the ATI driver isn't THAT mature yet. Would I be able to play the latest games with it on wine, or am I better of with nvidia and the propietary driver.
(I definitely know nouveau doesn't stand up to it *yet*, i.e., Prince of Persia complains about lack of video features). (note I don't care about a nouveau vs radeon debate, nor for a nvidia vs ati debate, the question is ati+free vs nvidia+propietary).
How can i install it? Which version of Catalyst is better to use? I know that Catalyst 9.3 is the latest version, which has full support of ati x1250, in later drivers my video-card is "legacy". I'm searching for a long period of time and can't find the answer... may be it is impossible to install suitable Catalyst for my ati on lenny and it is better to use older Debian? And if Yes, then which one?

Everything was working fine on Deb 7.7 with propriety driver. Then I did what I "presumed" to be an "update" through apper but it upgraded to Deb 8. The upgrade borked half way through with errors (cannot remember what they were, unfortunately I had to go out - wasn't expecting an upgrade or I'd have done it with more time).
Apper stated it had part installed stuff and trying to run update again (through apper) then had "no permissions" issues even though I entered password. After a few reboots and upgrading through recovery I "seem" to have resolved that, but might be related to this issue.
After resolving that issue I booted up and the grey GUI login screen was fine, after entering password the next screen was a colourful splash screen (with "Desktop" tab in top right corner), but it doesn't advance from that screen. No mouse, can't click or tab. Ctrl Alt Del does nothing.
The image looked like this, but with only "Desktop" in a black tab at the top right.

I've never seen this screen before.
After followed this guide using recovery boot:

Code: Select allapt-get purge "fglrx.*"
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
My system booted fine, albeit low resolution etc.
So I tried to install proprietary again using this Debian how to: [URL] ....
Although the procedure looks the same for Deb7 as it does Deb8 (barring the source).
The same problem happened where I was stuck at the loading/splash screen after GUI login.
So I removed the proprietary drivers again and am now back in, again albeit low res like am back in he 90's. Also, that splash screen doesn't show at all now.
The driver is supposed to be fine with my setup, so is there some issue left over from the borked upgrade perhaps? Everything seems fine otherwise.
