Install fglrx driver for ATI but it just installed for one old kernel 2.6.34.6-54. and 2.6.34.6-54.fc13.i686 i have also kernel 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE, how can i compile the fglrx for it?can i just copy fglrx.ko from /lib/modules/2.6.34.6-54.fc13.i686.PAE/extra/catalyst/fglrx.ko to /lib/modules 2.6.34.7-56.fc13....
View 1 RepliesI have a fairly aged Pentium 4, RAID, desktop computer with Fed 11. I started off with the 686 PAE kernel and update it whenever the update software tells me to. Some time ago I downloaded an NVidia driver which said it needed the 586 kernel so I installed that as well.I then uninstalled the NVidia driver as it caused some minorish problems without any improvement to the graphics. The bottom line is I now have the last three 686 kernels and the last three 586 kernels, which I'm pretty sure I don't need. The machine seems to run fine whichever I use with no discerable differences.My questions are, what is the difference between the two types, which should I actually use and how do I get rid of the other. It would at the very least reduce bandwidth use when updating.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy MythTV system is running under F12. It is in "appliance mode;" all configured and happily doing the PVR thing without a pressing need for upgrades.However, there is a feature in the upcoming 2.6.32 kernel that I'd like to take advantage of; internal support for a certain capture card.
I see 2.6.32 mentioned as part of the F13 release. My question is, will it also be available for F12 . . . maybe sooner than the F13 release?Another way to put this is: How wedded are Fx releases and kernel releases? Is a major kernel goalpost like 2.6.32 the reason why Fx releases are made?
i installed the PAE kernel and was wondering if it's safe (and how) to remove the non-PAE kernels. from the system.This is F13.

It's been a while since I last used the fglrx drivers, especially on my laptop which has an AMD RS690 based video adapter. While the Open Source drivers get the job done most of the time, and especially with Compiz-Fusion (yay!) these drivers still lack much optimization and since they don't intend to optimize the OpenGL stack for the current drivers and instead they'll work on it for the Gallium3D drivers, the situation is not going to get much better any time soon. However the Free drivers have gotten very robust and with very good support all in all.At first I used the fglrx drivers, but went with the Open Drivers for two main reasons:Radeon drivers were the first to get true KMS support, so they fully supported Plymouth.
Fgrlx drivers had (or still have?) a hideous bug in that they would cause screen flicker and tearing all over the place if you had a composited desktop. Wasn't as bad with Metacity's Composer Manager compared to Compiz, but still very annoying. Also they didn't properly had (or still have) RandR 1.2 support which means that if you attach a secondary display, you can't configure it as a different screen at a different resolution (for instance, main laptop display running at native 1280x800 and the secondary screen, like a projector, running at 1024x768), which the Open drivers get most of the time (note this isn't perfect in the open drivers either).
So i wanted to give the fglrx drivers a whirl once again and see how do they run... However I do not fully remember the steps involved in getting Plymouth running with the VGA/VESA console driver and the fglrx drivers (all I can remember is that it involved rebuilding the initrd [which in F12 is initramfs] to leave out the Radeon driver and you could still use the vga=[mode] argument to get Plymouth), the only other thing I can remember is that you had to run plymouth-set-default-theme to get the theme back. The main thing stopping me from going back to fglrx is that I'm not sure if all the composite issues have been resolved.
I have 3 kernels installed. When I look at my installed kernels with yumex or package kit all I see is the latest kernel. rpm -qa lists them and I was able to remove the oldest using rpm -e.Is this some new feature of YUMEX and package kit to only show the latest version installed?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm sure there is a thread on this somewhere, but after looking though the first 100+ search results, I can't seem to find it.
After a kernel update today, I noticed that new kernels are not being added to my grub menu.lst (so consequently, I was running an older kernel).
Any obvious reason why this would happen (kernels being installed normally, with yum update)? I thought the whole process was supposed to be automagic.
Would it have anything to do with the fact that I just kept my F11 menu.lst, and added a F12 kernel to it when I installed F12 (to a separate partition), then eventually (today, finally) removed the f11 kernels from it?
Here's my menu.lst, in case it's useful:

2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686
I'm unable to boot my box since the first 2.6.34 kernel arrived.I hoped the second will fix the problem but it didn't.The display just enters in the power save mode after a second and that's it.The system boots fine with the 2.6.33.8-149.fc13.i686 kernel.The lspci result is:

I'm running FC 13. I believe that the base install is kernel 2.6.33.6-147.x86_64. That is the last version of the kernel that I have installed that includes an initramfs file. Neither 2.6.34.7-56 nor 2.6.34.8-68 installed an initramfs file. Since my root volume is in LVM, I can't boot with those kernels. I saw in another post that doing a "yum install kernel" would install the missing files. I tried that and it tells me that kernel-2.6.34.8-68.fc13.x86_64 is already installed and latest version.
I ultimately want to upgrade to FC 15 because I've got a new nVidia video card and need driver 270.41.06 for fc15. My fear is that if I upgrade I might not get the initramfs files in the new versions of FC and end up with an unusable system. Is there a way to add the initramfs files for the newer kernels and/or will I have the files after an upgrade?
Everything tells me they are in RPMFusion, but for the life of me, I can't locate them...

When I went to start up the computer, the kernel usually hung at the same place on boot up, although sometimes it booted just fine. The default kernel is 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64. It's boot up arguments are:
Code:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 ro root=UUID=75d16864-ba74-49ef-aaa9-0a1dd3c92254 noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet rdblacklist=nouveau
I also have kernel 2.6.32.7-37.fc12.x86_64, 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64, 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64. I have seen the same behavior out of all four of them. Last night I ran Memtest86+ all night. It took eight passes with no memory errors. As far as hard disks go, I have two Seagate Barracuda 1.5 TB drives operating as software RAID 1 (mirroring). One of the drives does have three bad sectors. The motherboard is an Asus P6T6 WS. This morning I plugged in the GP diagnostic chip that came with it, but I'm not seeing a whole lot useful there, except that now it is just displaying "FF" non stop.
I did some poking around on the web, and it looks like "FF" is supposed to mean that the CPU isn't properly seated, which makes no sense because the system monitor software is detecting all four cores perfectly, and I have no other odd behaviors anywhere else. At this point I'm rather at a loss to understand what could be causing the difficulties. Sometimes any of the four kernels boots fine, and sometimes they don't. The funny thing is that on the blue "boot progress bar" all four kernels hang at exactly the same spot if they hang at all. After doing some more poking around, I'm relatively sure that "FF" does NOT mean that the processor isn't seated correctly. I'm going to try contacting Asus and see how far I get towards getting some good info on what the diagnostic codes mean.
Yesterday i updated fedora 13.After reboot problems started with te display driver.Scrolling sreens goes very slow and with little steps.Moving a screen from one side to the other goes also very slow.It seems there is a problem with the ATI driver.I also have problems after new kernel updates.The new kernels simply won't boot?

Is there someway I can make yum update to 2.6.35.12-90 anyway?

I'm using Fedora 10 x86_64 with an ATI Radeon Mobility x1400 video card. Before installing fglrx & compiz, the text console (while booting up) was shown at 1280x800 resolution (laptop widescreen). After installing fglrx & compiz the console would only show up as 640x480 resolution. My resolution in X starts as 1280x800 without any problem. I realize that you can use vga=xxx as a kernel argument but this only works with NON-widescreen resolutions. I require that it be set to a widescreen resolution like it was before the fglrx & compiz installation.

Today I spend the day updating to Fedora 15 (from 14). And by spent the day updating to Fedora 15, I mean that like the last 3 updates I've tried with Fedora, they end up getting hosed and I was forced to rebuild using a live disk. That being said I was able to install a fresh instance of Fedora, as well as use leigh123linux's "F15,F14, F13 & F12 Nvidia driver guides" thread to install the necessary drivers on my machine. However after the last reboot, I'm stuck with a funky top screen.

I have been trying to install the FGLRX driver for a Radeon HD 4850. According to this page and others on the web, it says that Xorg 7.5 isn't supported by the driver. I was just wondering is it possible to install Xorg 7.4 on Fedora 12, if not what release of Fedora should I use (i.e does Fedora 11 support Xorg 7.4?)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using Fedora 15 LXDE for a few weeks (its been great), and decided to install the ati proprietary drivers (I used the tutorial in one of the general strickies). As soon as I rebooted, I now get the following message:
Code:
Started SYSV: Late init script for live image... ATI external events daemon. into universal adresses I can type stuff using the cursor, but it doesn't do anything. I've tried adding 'runlevel 3' to the boot options in Grub to try and prevent fglrx conflicting with Xorg but it doesn't seem to work, unless I'm doing something wrong.
I just put Fedora 11 on my Lenovo Thinkpad t400. I selected the integrated (lousy, but Intel (supported)) graphics device in the BIOS, but I really hate the lower performance than the discrete graphics device. However, this device requires fglrx or radeonhd for DRI. RPMFusion has not released an (a)kmod-fglrx, so I can't use that. I have heard radeonhd has some stability issues though, and I don't know how to install. I was wondering how I could completely change my graphics configuration (change chipsets in the BIOS) and get the X Server in Fedora 11 working with the new driver and chipset. Is it a good idea to use radeonhd, or should I wait for the fglrx?
Even then, how would I completely change my graphics configuration so it would work with a different card & driver? I don't want to do a fresh install because I've done a lot of work & customization with the F11.I don't know anything about radeonhd, so any information about this kind of thing would be useful.Finally, should I just suck it up and deal with the Intel graphics? Is anything of this sort really worth my time? (I'm willing to spend quite a bit, trust me!)
