Hardware :: ATI Radeon 57xx Using HDMI Overscan (CentOS 5.5 X86_64)?
Feb 9, 2011So, I need to use the HDMI out on my Radeon 57xx because the DVI input on my monitor is in use by another machine that has no other way to connect to it, and I won't swap cables around all the time. Of course, because someone somewhere decided that if it's plugged in to HDMI it must be a TV and have overscan issues I have a nice black box surrounding my screen image.
In Windows I can resolve this by opening CCC and changing the overdrive settings. Thus far I have yet to be able to get CCC to open and the only thing the console tool allows you to do is toggle overscan on and off, which doesn't seem to have any effect so far. Has anyone gotten this issue resolved? Do I need to focus on getting CCC working (which I probably won't use for anything else...) or is there a console command that can handle the job? Change to xorg.conf? Anything?

Jul 10, 2011I'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel. We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change. I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information. Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.
View 3 Replies View RelatedDebian :: EXFAT Support Vs NTFS Support ?
Aug 25, 2010I'm looking to dual-boot Windows 7 and Debian 6 upon its release on my sister's laptop. I want to share a partition between the two of them so that /home points to this directory and the Windows equivalent also points to it (C:Users).
Anyway, I've heard good and bad things about the NTFSMount driver (I think it's NTFS-3G now) and the NTFSprogs project and so I am not so certain what I should believe. I do know that NTFS has relatively high overhead, though I do not recall the source of this assertion, so I am considering the use of EXFAT. An open source EXFAT project is hosted on Google Code at [url] and it utilizes the kernel module FUSE.
I'm quite certain that I've got everything covered on the Windows side -- that is, I know that both NTFS and EXFAT will be suitable filesystems for my required usage.
My issue is that I'm curious which will have superior performance and stability in Debian. I planned on building the package from source and mounting the device in my FSTAB but I have also found a PPA for Ubuntu on Launchpad at [url] that I could borrow the debian/rules from and make a .deb package from.
What do you guys think? Should I go at it with the EXFAT or NTFS partitioning? Is NTFS-3G actually fairly supported at this point? Or perhaps should I consider some alternate method?
I have also considered that the only files she will be sharing are those of music, videos, and pictures so it could be better to just link /home/xxxx/Pictures (Music and Videos, too) to the new partition instead of all of /home.

Feb 6, 2010I didn't know where to post this, but I hope I get an answer. I'm not new to Linux, but I'm not a super user either. I've been distro hopping for years, until I found Mandriva 2010. I love it, but whenever I install the ATI drivers I get a Kwin has crashed error every time I start up. So I tried openSuse 11.2, it's a pleasant distro implements KDE well, but I got the same results with openSuse.
My question to you guys is, what current KDE distro has the best support for ATI cards? Or is there a way to get either KDE or openSuse working correctly? I've tried everything I found in other forums to no avail.
My specs:
XFX HD Radeon 4770
AMD Athlon II X4 625

General :: ATI Vs NVIDIA - Support ?
Mar 14, 2011I've been doing some looking around on the general issues of ATI vs. NVIDIA for linux. I'm buying a new laptop, and obviously want to maximize linux compatibility.
Here's what I've understood so far. For the people who know: is my understanding right?
ATI has open source drivers, but they're kind of spotty. Also, ATI relies on the vendors to provide drivers, so if the company selling the laptop doesn't provide linux drivers, you're out of luck.
NVIDIA doesn't have open source drivers, but their closed source drivers provide good linux support. They provide drivers directly, rather than relying on the laptop vendor, so chances of linux support are better.
Anybody else have experience/knowledge in this area? I'm looking to do things like 3D gaming, video editing, playing back HD online video, possibly even some graphics rendering if I decide to pick that up...
Most of the laptops I'm looking at either have the NVIDIA GT425M or the ATI HD5730.

Using this two way connection I would like to do the task, he/she asked me to.It would be an ideal solution, if it would be transperent for the client, like a shared screen session...

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Integrate Usb Support Into Grub 2?
Jan 28, 2011I have a relatively new laptop that is too dumb to recognize a usb flash drive in the bios. So I cannot boot from it by the bios. I have a Debian install on that laptop with grub 2. So I figure, grub 2 should be powerful enough to have it's own drivers for usb storage so it can directly access the usb drive without having to get help from the bios. How is this done?
How can I integrate usb support into grub 2? Is there a module I can load? I have an ubuntu on the memorystick, so it has it's own grub bootloader, so I would probably do a chainboot if I am not mistaken. Or does anybody know of a initrd that will give control to another bootloader on a device? Initrd should surely have all support for hardware.

General :: Simultaneous Multithreading Support?
Jul 15, 2010I was looking around on Wikipedia, and ran across the UltraSPARC T2 processor. This is a processor with 8 cores (8 physical processors) and 8 threads per core (64 logical processors!)I'm aware of Intel's Hyper-Threading and other technologies, and I know collisions between the threads have the possibility of decreasing the processor's throughput.From what I know, the O(1) scheduler (and surely the current CFS scheduler) is aware of Hyper-Threading, and is careful with processor affinity for threads (mainly, it tries to fill every physical processor before giving any multiple threads, and it tries to keep processes that much move between logical processors on the same physical processor.)
However, although that certainly helps somewhat, I believe the largest gain can come if the compiler is allowed to re-arrange instructions, so that more than two threads can be run at once without collisions in one physical processor. For this to happen, I believe we'd need to come up with a new executable format that can store multiple threads in one file, so the scheduler can schedule them as one block.For example, with the current scheduler and executable formats, the UltraSPARC would appear as 64 logical processors. However, if we consider a system that consists entirely of thread-aware systems, it might look at it as 8 logical processors, and schedule eight processes at a time. Since only one process would exist on each physical processor, the compiler would be able to optimize and significantly reduce resource contention (which I mention below.)
We can look at one physical processor with 8 threads of execution (or any number >2.) If you run 8 different processes, as Linux would currently do, there would likely be a lot of resource contention. My guess is that most of the time, several threads would be waiting for the unit they need to become available. I feel that this is supported because I saw a number from Sun (I forgot where) that the correct optimization settings on their compiler can yield a 300% speedup, on a practical workload.Is there any infrastructure available for Linux that supports processors like the UltraSPARC T2, that have a high number of hardware threads per core? Also, I know this would be a large task to implement, and there would be hurdles (how do you mix multithreaded processes with single-threaded processes on one machine?), and I am wondering if others think there would be enough benefit to justify the effort.

Mar 6, 2010I was trying to troubleshoot a problematic server. The server, which runs on CentOS 4.x, is attached to Hardware RAID / disk array. Since the OS partition is having issues, I plan to troubleshoot the server by booting up with Knoppix 6 in "knoppix 2" / text mode. Everything went fine except, I'm not able to see all volumes available on the disk array. Only the first volume is presented.
Based on this, I'm suspecting Knoppix 6 kernel is not supporting Multiple LUN by default, based on a few Google search. Tried kernel parameters such as "max_luns=128" and "max_scsi_luns=128" at boot prompt but no luck. how can I enable Multiple LUN support during boot time or right after boot time?
