Fedora Hardware :: New Fedora User With Graphics Settings?

Nov 9, 2010

I used ubuntu for about a year, it was very good but decided to try to learn a little linux so am trying fedora. Well I just got the system installed, and apart from no flash (which I will investigate later) I have an issue with my monitor. It is not detected and has settings as such:

Monitor: Unknown
Resolution: 1280x1024
Refresh rate: 0 Hz

I know my Monitor wich is 19 inches was detected in ubuntu and had a much higher resolution. I'd like to know if this is an all or nothing thing. Meaning if my monitor shows the above settings I am stuck with it or if there is hope. I am at Fedora to lean so I am ready for a fight, but there is just no way I could use the computer as it is...

So where do I begin? Is there any way to manually in some config file put my settings which I am pretty sure I can get from the manufactures site? Or is there some type of hardware detection tool that I can download and run?

Fedora :: Display 'sleep' Ignoring User's Settings?

Aug 8, 2011

installed Fedora 14 on my desktop a couple of days ago. For the most part, it seems to be fine, but I've got a problem with the 'put display to sleep when inactive for' setting. From the desktop, I've tried going to system/preferences/power management, where I've set the display to go to sleep when inactive for 30 minutes - however, it instead goes to sleep after five minutes. The same applies whether I set it to 10m, 30m, 1hr or never.

Having looked online, someone mentioned gconf-editor as a fix to another issue, so I decided to give that a try as well. Under /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout, I tried setting sleep_display_ac, sleep_display_battery and sleep_display_ups each to 1800 ("The amount of time in seconds before the display goes to sleep" - 30mins, by my maths) on the off-chance that the OS had incorrectly detected the power source, but the display again went to sleep after five minutes.

If it makes any difference, I'm not using a screensaver, and I think the kernel I have installed is 2.6.35.13-92.fc14.i686 (that's what's given in System Monitor). I've also tried running yum update, again just on the off-chance it'd fix something, but everything is up to date.

Ubuntu :: Copy User Settings In 11.04 / Copy A User's Settings To A New User's Settings?

Sep 1, 2011

I'm looking for the easiest or cleanest way to copy a user's settings to a new user's settings. I don't need to copy any files from the original user, but setting up a home directory would be great.

If it's done at the command line, that would be just fine. I'm very familiar with working at the command line.

Ubuntu :: Advanced User Settings / 'Connect To Ethernet And Wireless' Option Of The Advanced Settings?

Aug 12, 2010

I'm trying to create a user account for my children in Ubuntu 10.04

When creating their account, I have turned off the 'Connect to ethernet and wireless' option of the Advanced Settings.

However, when I log into their accounts, they still have full access to the internet through both the wireless and ethernet connections. Is this option for some other purpose?

Is there an alternate way to limit internet access for childrens' accounts in Ubuntu? (I'm used to MS Family Safety as a filter for internet access - is there an eqivalent for Ubuntu?)

Ubuntu :: 10.10 - Any Way To Merge Default Graphics Settings?

Feb 12, 2011

In ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 there is now xorg file. Is there some way to merge the default graphic settings with my own xorg file? I'm currently needing to use and xorg file for my via graphics cards, which works fine. However, some functionality is missing. the icons have lost transparency and the unity menu doesn't allow click and drag scrolling anywhere (like a tablet). If I delete the xorg file and run the default, I get all the crisp clear cut of unity but of course I get performance problems everywhere else... i.e I cant plug a multiple screen in and video playback is crap.

Ubuntu :: Missing Graphics Card In Nvidia X Server Settings?

I have ubuntu 10.4 32 bit. I have 2x gtx 285's in sli that work perfectly fine in sli in windows (so its not a hardware not properly physically installed issue). But in ubuntu in the x server settings only one of the cards shows up. I was wondering if this is a 32 bit issue as in the past running 64 bit they have both shown up fine.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Install Graphics Card - Change The Settings Of And Monitor?

Aug 22, 2010

the solution of my monitor is much to small. So I tried to find out, where I can change the settings of my graphic card and monitor. Unfortunately opensuse only gives me the possibility to change it up to 600x800, which is by far too small. So I thought maybe I need to install a driver... so... there I am ... having question marks around my head and wondering how to install a graphics card driver on my opensuse 11.3.???
And where to find the right ones?

My graphic card is a Matrox Mystique (no 220 or anything else!!). I checked the website of Matrix to find my drivers, but it tells me that there is no driver planned for linux. Matrox Graphics - Support - Latest Matrox drivers for legacy products But I guess I am not the only person in the world who uses this graphic card on linux, so there must be a way to make it work!!

Ubuntu :: Domain User Account Not Showing On "User Settings" Panel / Way Around This

I recently installed likewise 6.0 on a Ubuntu 10.04 box and I was able to login as a Domain user.

And if try to change login shell by typing "chsh", then it tells me user "DOMAINusername" does not exist in /etc/passwd.

Does anyone know a way around this?

Ubuntu :: One User Cannot Login Via GDM - "reset" All (X, GDM Related) Permissions/settings Of One User?

Dec 11, 2010

Is it possible "reset" all (X, GDM related) permissions/settings of one user? What would cause one specific user not to be able to log into anything via gdm/the login screen? After providing the proper password, the screen goes black and then jumps back to the login screen. No session alternative works, not even xterm or gnome failsafe. I can however log in via the console (Ctrl+Alt+F6, recovery etc). With another user I can log in via GDM just fine, and deleting and re-adding the "broken" user doesn't make any difference.

Some (maybe) relevent logs:

Fedora :: User Memory Allocation - Set A Maximum Limit On The Amount Of Ram A User Can Utilize?

Jul 24, 2009

I have a few multi-user servers in an academic laboratory. I am having a problem with some users maxing out the available RAM, causing such sever slowdowns the machine essentially crashes. My servers are Dell Power Edge's running Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition (Not my choice). I would like to set a maximum limit on the amount of ram a user can utilize. This morning I experimented with setting limits via /etc/security/limits.conf and using ulimit. Neither of them prevented my test program, a simple infinite loop of mallocs, from crashing the server.

Fedora :: Graphics Choppy On F14 KDE?

Apr 18, 2011

Im experiencing choppy graphics on my new F14 install in KDE -- things like scrolling in Firefox, showing/hiding windows, and the equalizer bars in Audacious all being a bit laggy. The card is some kind of onboard intel; the laptop is a Lenovo g550. Here's what lspci says:

Code:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a42] (rev 09)
Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:3a02]
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: i915

[Code]...

P.S.: It seems to be this way whether or not Desktop Effects are turned on.

Fedora Hardware :: Accelerated 3d Graphics Is Not Available?

Feb 3, 2010

I've been having a lot of problem with Linux concerning my intel830 chipset video driver. Fedora seems to have some kind of working Xorg configuration, but I cant prove it since I dont know where Xorg.conf is...

Anyway - When I try to get some kind of Desktop Effects, I get the error prompt "Accelerated 3d Graphics is not available." One reason why I think it might be doing this is because I may be using the VESA driver instead of intel, i830, or i810, etc. But again, I dont know how to check this.

Fedora Hardware :: Low FPS With Intel Graphics ?

Dec 13, 2010

Purchased a slightly used T61 Thinkpad via a client of ours at work last week. I've been really happy with it so far, dumped 4GB RAM in it and have Vmware workstation running on it and all is well except the graphics drivers.

According to LSPCI the machine contains the device listed below.

Code:

X displays just fine and compiz works out of the box, but I'm only getting around 59 FPS with GLXgears. I do like to play the occasional game and what not, so i'm really hoping to get this increased. I've heard of running Tremulous on this card, so I imagine it can do it.

Is this low for this card?

Fedora :: AMD Ontario And Graphics Performance

May 8, 2011

Recently I noticed there are on sale, from several manufacturers, some interesting and inexpensive laptops equipped with AMD's new Ontario C50 processor which for one thing seems to use little power (like the Atom), and the other and more interesting is the fact that it has the graphics embedded.

I am curious if someone here owns one of said laptops and can comment about the performance/compatibility of this Ontario chip, because some of these laptops are such good deals that I am seriously considering at least recommending them. Obviously if I purchase one of those I'd install Fedora on in. Two things puzzle me: is performance very far apart from that of a netbook, and second, how do the graphics perform? Do they use the Catalyst driver as well?
