I had installed fedora 12 few months ago on a PowerEdge 1900 server but I did not install any video. Some times the screen looks shabby (attached is how it looks like) and scrolling is also not smooth. where can I get video drivers for my server.

If any of you have successfully created a video hosting server with Fedora, can you give me any ideas of what software to get and how to configure it and so on? Or, if you have been unsuccessful, can you tell me what doen't work?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got an old Gateway desktop machine that a friend gave me, but any time I try to do something in a window-based environment like GNOME or KDE, the system locks up. I'm under the impression that this is a driver issue since the ethernet and video are integrated on the motherboard and neither works appropriately.
I cracked the case and got the number for the motherboard, which is: 4000811. From here I'm not quite sure what to do to make sure I've got the right drivers for the motherboard in place and could use some I'm on 10.04 server and ONLY have access to a command line.
Running Karmic 9.10
I'm trying to update the driver on my Nvidia 8800 GTS 512. Nvidia has a native linux driver for this. I've downloaded and attempted to run it, but it returns this error:
"You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. For further details see..."
and it makes reference to this: [URL]
So I'm attempting to stop the X server, though I don't understand what that is. Whoever came up with that name should feel bad.
With a bit of poking around the internet, I found the "Booting to a different runlevel" section on this page: [URL]
But the init command in console does nothing, and the file /etc/inittab is not there.
So how am I supposed to install this driver?
I just updated Fedora 11. Kernel got updated to 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE. But during boot it says that nvidia drivers couldn't be enabled. It works perfectly well in the lower kernel versions. Am I the only one facing the problem? I've nVidia Corporation C51 [Geforce 6150 Go] (rev a2) in my laptop.

NOTICE: Some very old nVidia Video Cards from more than 9 years ago might not work with this way, but just try this method because you'll see if there's a driver available for your video card in Fedora or not.
I have been noticing that it was hard to set up my own NVidia video card, and alot of other people shared the same problem as I had. I have been experimenting with some things, and here's what I did to solve it.
It's fairly easy, anyone can do this. Read and follow these instructions:
Install all updates. Although it seems unimportant, it really is.
Go to [url] and follow the instructions to install the free and nonfree repositories
Go to System > Administration > Add/Remove Software
Search the following: nv
Click everything which has to do with NVidia. Do not check the checkboxes yet, but read the descriptions. If you've found your video card in the description, check the checkbox at the left of the title.
Install the drivers by clicking "Apply" at the bottom of your screen.
After installing, go to Applications > System Tools > nVidia Display Settings
Set the properties of your video card, such as TwinView or higher screen resolutions.
After you've set it up, click Apply to preview your settings. Change some settings if you like, and then click Apply when you're done. DO NOT EXIT YET!
Click "Save to X Confguration File, but do NOT save the file. Click "Show preview..." and copy the text in the preview.
Go to Applications > System Tools > Terminal and type "su". Press Enter and enter the root password.
Now type:
Code:
Select all of the text in the document and delete it. Then, paste the text of the "Save X Configuration" window into the text editor.
Exit out of the terminal.
Exit out of the nVidia Display Settings application. Do not save anything from this application.
Log out and log back in to see the changes.
If you want to change some settings, repeat steps 7 - 16.

I'm running 9.10 server on a mini-itx board. The CPU is Core 2 Duo T5450 and supports Enhanced Speedstep and the BIOS is set to auto, enabling C1E.I've been trying to get cpufreq to work but none of the drivers are present.When I try to load suitable ones they are always not found.Does someone know if cpufreq is not supported on the server kernal? Or what command will apt-get the modules that aren't here now?I've been reading the cpufreq tutorials but can't get past loading a suitable driver - which means I'm nowhere now. My notebook runs the same CPU and cpufreq is working fine with desktop Ubuntu install of 9.10.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've loaded Fedora and must say what a nice OS! But I'm having some issues getting the video working correctly so let me jump right into the issue. The video is very garbled and hard to read. can't seem to find a way to correct what would appear to be a driver issue. Here are a list of things tried:
- display works fine with Ubuntu
- display is clear but is chopped off when using an external monitor from onboard vga slot
The video card is an ATI radeon and the linux drivers from the ATI site don't work with the new images that are out yet.
How do I check what video driver I have installed in the terminal? Then how do I install or yum install it? I wanna do everything through command line soz.. I have an ATI 4850 I believe.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi installed Fedora 12 on an external hard drive. Everything went fine with the installation and it was working perfectly until i tried to install my video card drivers. I have done this many times before and it has worked. I have an ATI card. Anyway after installing the driver i rebooted and now when it starts it show the loading bar on the bottom but then nothing happens its just a black screen!. The worst part is that when i go into windows and my external is plugged in windows wont read it and i have very valuable data on it. I go into disk management and it shows up but windows says that its empty. which is obviously not true because Fedora starts to boot. I really just want Fedora off my external and for windows to read my external with all the files still on it. Is there a way to get by that blank screen?

Does Ubuntu Server 10.04 give me a good/easy way to upload music, photos, and videos and automatically have them available to a TiVo, a PlayStation 3, and Macs/PCs running iTunes on the network?I'd additionally like it to be able to transcode the videos into formats that the PS3 can handle.

Quote:
Xen PV-on-HVM drivers were merged to upstream kernel.org Linux 2.6.36, and various optimizations added in Linux 2.6.37. I am using Ubuntu server on my Xen HVM VPS. It would be nice to use the PV drivers for HVM to take advantage of performance improvements (so it doesnt need to use the Qemu emulation layer and can use Xenbus/netfront etc) I am running a custom kernel 2.6.39.1 and have enabled Xen support in the kernel (under "Processor type and features" -> "Paravirtualized guest support" -> "Xen guest support"

I'm experiencing video lag in games. I'm using 10.04 lts 32 bit and the latest version of proprietary drivers. For example I play hon and so and then it freezes for a small period of time which is frustrating.
I don't understand, my specs are:
Under this specs it should run perfectly. What's the matter? Ati drivers have poor support under linux? I tried updating to 10.10 and nothing. I tried contacting customer supporot amd but they can't help me. Nice isn't it?
I have a laptop with 2 graphic cards on it, currently I have the nvidia drivers installed, and I want to install the Intel ones, but when I try to install I am prompted to remove the nvidia ones.

I was trying to update my video drivers, but when I restarted my computer there were a lot of lines across the screen and I couldn't select anything. I can boot to recovery mode, but auto x-fix doesn't fix anything. I have an ATI Radeon 550.

I just installed 11.04 and I knew I would have to install the NVidia video drivers. So it was no surprise when it popped up a warning and dropped me into Gnome Classic view. So I turned on the NVidia drivers and rebooted. In my desktop selection menu on the login screen I have "Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu Classic".
Unfortunately they look exactly alike, with the Gnome panel along the top, and the panel with the taskbar, desktops and recylce bin on the bottom. I've gone back-and-forth a few times and nothing has changed. Some changes in one environment is not set in the other, like they really are 2 different environments.
According to the Software Center, Unity (not Unity 2D) *is* installed.So how can I boot into the Unity desktop?
How can I get a list of what X video drivers are on my system? Preferably not using a package manager (since I'm not sure I trust it to not miss stuff like the nvidia driver). Googling didn't give anything useful .
