I'm trying to install an ati video card driver, but can't seem to get past this (see screenie)
When I click okay, I expected a prompt to put in my password, but everything just closes.
I am about to upgrade my wife's PC from FC12 to FC14. The DVD boots OK and the disk check passes OK. The installer get to the point that it says 'Running Anaconda' (or words to that effect), then the screen is cleared, a brief flash of garbled graphics appears at the top of the screen, then all goes blank.
If I select the option to install using a basic video driver, I get the expected installation screens appearing centred but scaled down within the display, as though the image was a 640x480 window in, say, a 1024x768 display (those figures are guesses, but give the right idea).
I can install this way, but first want to check that this will not leave me with a scaled-down display when I boot to FC14. In other words, will FC14 recognise my (elderly) video card correctly, even though the installer does not?
The machine is running fine under FC12 and I did not strike this problem when I upgraded it to that version.
I have tried the upgrade using two different DVD images, in case one had a fault that the disk check did not pick up.
I have an EeePC 4g netbook which only has a 4Gb hard drive and I thought I would like to install Fedora 13 on an 8 Gb SDHC card and use it to boot the netbook.
As neither the netbook nor I have an optical drive, I made a bootable USB memory stick using Unetbootin which boots the netbook and could be used like a live CD to install Fedora.
On booting with the live USB stick, with the blank SD card in place, and clicking on the install icon, the installation starts but then there are 2 problems; the first is that the installer appears to want to install to both the SD card and also the USB stick. There is a tick in the box beside the USB stick which I can't remove.
I decided to ignore that and put a tick in the box beside the SD card but when it got to the point where it creates partitions it said "Could not find enough free space for automatic partitioning. Please use another partitioning method"
Surely 8 GB is more than enough space for partitioning, so where am I going wrong and why does it want to install on the USB stick as well?
I'm a new user of fedora12 and I'm a beginer in Linux, I'll apreciate if someone tell me how to install a driver for my video card (nvidia 9400GT) because when I try desktop effect fedora disply an error "require hardware 3D support" and that tell's me I don't have the appropriate driver.

How can I find/install the right driver for this video card?
I have managed to work out how to install my NVidia video card driver. I'm just about to tackle getting the
microphone aspect of my sound card in my laptop going. If that goes alright I'd like to install the Wacom drivers for my Cintiq 21ux.
I have sound coming out of my sound card, I just need to put some sound through it (for skype conferences)
Do you where I'd be able to find the right drivers or links to tutoials about or similarto my HP Pavilion dv5 1006tx?It's mainly the sound card and Wacom Cintiq 21ux I'm worried about.
I lack a dual layer DVD drive, I used Unetbootin to put the 7.8 gig Live Bootable Dual Layer DVD onto a Flashdrive. I just need the root password to get into the installer and then I will soon share with folks on how to Multi-Boot this THIRTY THREE GAME BAD BOY, there shortly after. PASSWORD for ROOT to use the installer

All I want this machine to do is play video from off the net on my LCD HD TV. The video on board was all choppy when going into full screen mode so I put in a 3dfx Voodoo card and the same thing happens.

Uh oh. Your card is not supported by any driver version up to 304.125.
A newer driver may add support for your card.
Newer driver releases may be available in backports.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently had a new Video Card installed in my Ubuntu machine. (the old card failed)...
SYSTEM >> ADMIN >> HARDWARE DRIVERS - says my video card is active / running.
- The Installation guy - Didn't install the drivers (the CD was for a WINDOWS machine)
1) The driver may be installed & running - However - How do I know / test that it is the *RIGHT* driver for the new video card installed ?
2) How do i tell / find out the brand name of the physical card ?
(the CD disk says SAPPHIRE / ATI Radeon)
I use a debian testing, I can't drive graphics card，open source driving performance is not good, so you need to closed source drive, model is nvidia 7300 gt, how to drive the video card?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have installed Open Suse 11.1 on two different machines. One contains an ATI X850 video card, and the other contains an ATI X1950 video card. I updated the ATI drivers on the 850 card and it works like a dream. I updated the ATI drivers on the 1950 card and Suse becomes unusable. System works fine before the update. Before the update I ran it at a resolution of 1280 x 1024. I thought I would lower it to 1024 x 768 to see if that would help, but it does not. I dual boot with WinXP, and card works fine with that setup at 1280 x 1024, so I would suspect this is a specific problem with my Suse setup as opposed to a Motherboard issue.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIf I take out the existing video card and put in another one of a different type (but not a different brand), how does Ubuntu behave? I know what Windows typically does. Windows starts up the screen using a default video driver which is at least 1024 by 768 and then asks you what this new bit of hardware is and asks where the drivers are. I'm pretty sure Ubuntu has default drivers of its own, but I don't know what their resolution is.

I am using KDE 4.3.5 on openSUSE11.2
I have a very stupid case, I have to use a domain user to install one software in RHL4.8, but this software need a super-user permission but not root.
So I need a domain user who has super-user permission.
Not use su, sudo.
If I use su or sudo ,the software will be installed under root. The requirement is the software must be installed under a domain user.
How can I do?
After updating my system yesterday my laptop will no longer connect to my wifi connection, in fact the network manager doesn't appear on the screen. I cant access super user even with the correct password. Some programs fail to load e.g. hardware drivers.I'm online now using my ethernet cable. I cant update grub due to errors in etc/grub.d/README.I'm logged in as root now instead of my own user account.
