What is indirect rendering and what sort of implications does it have on graphics performance?Also, is it a Linux-specific term or can it be used in the context of other operating systems?
View 2 RepliesI recently downloaded Frets On Fire and the HRP Polymer pack for Duke3D...Duke3D runs fine with just EDuke32 and no mods, just Duke3D and EDuke32. But when I try the HRP Polymer pack, it says in Terminal "NVIDIA: Direct Rendering failed, attempting indirect rendering." This is fine...if I want the game to lag like hell, I'm sure my video card and the driver for it support DR, the video card is a NVIDIA Geforce FX 5200, the same message appears in terminal when I run Frets On Fire, I think it does with other games too, if someone could explain how to enable Direct Rendering.

Total: 30 MBI experimented with about seven rendering containers, and QuickTime renderer was the only rendering container that didn't result in sped-up/compressed video or correct rendering for just fifteen seconds.How in the name of all that is holy did this rendering end up with 570 extra MB?

Previously, I had lightgdm instead of gdm3 and I fixed this problem allowing indirect GLX protocol just setting xserver-command=X -core +iglx in /usr/ share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-xserver-command.conf...Now I can't allog GLX protocol. I have tried the following:
Set Option "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" "On" in xorg.conf Set serverargs="+iglx" in /usr/bin/startx Set exec /usr/bin/X in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
Despite all this, the error message persists and xorg.0.log indicates that indirect GLX is disabled (line 19.477):

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a situation. I'm having GNU bash version 3.00.16(1) on Solaris 10. I need to declare an array say arr1 which will be populated by an output of a command.
declare -a arr1
arr1=( $(/some/command) )
Supposing it will eventually (after executing the command) have element values as -
arr1[0]=1234
arr1[1]=5678
arr1[2]=7890
Now, I need to declare another set of arrays, one for each of the element values above - e.g.
declare -a arr1_1234
declare -a arr1_5678
declare -a arr1_7890
And I also need to populate elements of each of above 3 arrays with output of another command in a loop. So, these arrays will hold values something like -
arr1_1234[0]="abc"
arr1_1234[1]="def"
arr1_1234[2]="ghi"
arr1_5678[0]="jkl"
arr1_5678[1]="mno"
arr1_5678[2]="pqr"
arr1_7890[0]="tuv"
arr1_7890[1]="xyz"
arr1_7890[2]="aab"
I'm able to declare and populate arr1[*]. My question is how do I declare, populate and print the subsequent arrays and their elements?I am feeling rather thick to get this working.
Is it possible to install 3d rendering software to the kernel? (that is if it dosent already have one)

Having upgraded to from 11.3 to 11.4 I now am unable to render in KDENLIVE. I've installed MLT, FFMPEG and KDELIVE with dependencies from Packman.
What is different from my 11.3 install is MLT has moved up a notch. 0.5.10 to 0.6.2. Does 0.6.2 work with KDENLIVE 0.7.8? I would think it should.
I have see MLT 0.7.0 is released but will wait for the RPM to be released on Packman.
This is the message taken from terminal.

I had a working pdftotext script working and custom made a parser for the info in it, but upon moving from CentOS 5.5 to Ubuntu (version unknown) and installing poppler-utils, pdftotext works, but the rendering is different by quite a bit causing a ton of issues. I also tried on another CentOS (5.2 this time) and it rendered the same as Ubuntu. I'm trying to figure out the problem so it renders the same, I'm using the same code and everything.

My fonts render well everywhere, using Dejavu fonts, but in Firefox and Epiphany they have these terrible yellow outlines and jagged edges.Has anyone else seen this? I've only noticed it recently (since the upgrade to Fedora 13), but it also happens on a Fedora 12 machine at home.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi! I configured subpixel rendering in GTK and it works, but it seems there is a difference in font appearance in GTK and Qt applications.
The fonts in GTK seem thinner, more sharp and aliased while in Qt they are more fat and smooth. This is with the same font name and size.
I also found that the same behavior appears in Fedora, but in Ubuntu all fonts appear similar in both GTK and Qt (fat and smooth as in Qt in SUSE).
So my question is how to make GTK fonts to appear as in Ubuntu.
In the next couple of days I'm intending to move to openSuse after a year of vacillating between XP, Vista, 7 and Ubuntu/Mint. One of my main uses for a computer is word processing, but I've noticed font rendering is not at its best in much of Linux. Ubuntu made a great leap as of 9.04, and therefore so did Mint, but whatever was done with the configuration, despite the free and open source factor, hasn't been implemented in many other distros, including I think openSuse. Even Kubuntu is behind - the settings don't seem to alter no matter what is picked in the relevant configuration panel. Several versions of KDE 4 have come and gone without this being seen to.
I am going by live CDs, for example I have 11.2 KDE version which I tried again today and found the same mysterious lack of change as occurs with Kubuntu when the settings are altered. So, has this since been put right with an update or user's tweak, or do people not even know or notice what I'm meaning? Using Open Office's word processor, the fonts aren't correct, often too skinny or spidery, which is what made me hesitant about Linux when I first dipped in, with Ubuntu 8.10.
I've tried the last four openSuse Gnome editions, and with the 'slight' settings for lcd screens the colour fringing is very apparent, as with Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10. The 'medium' and 'full' settings cause fonts, Roman type especially, to become skinny and spidery.
I have been noticing that openSUSE and many other Linux distributions are not rendering fonts as the way they should be. The fonts are rather fuzzy. I wish it was lot a crispier as like in Windows or Mac. Is there any solution to that?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have openGL working fine on my system.The only problem is that when I try to run the executable file, nothing appears unless the full scene has been rendered.In fact, it appears in parts, i.e. updates after a second, then after another second etc...However, earlier, the rendering used to be continuous and I could see each pixel getting rendered in a continuous fashion.

Since a few weeks the fonts in Maverick aren't rendering right anymore. The rendering goes wrong in Maverick itself and other such as Firefox. Tried to change the font in the appearance preferences dialog. Changing the default font in Firefox also hasn't any effect.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a weird issue in Firefox on Ubuntu 10.10, and sadly it's a periodic mistake that I don't know how to initiate... Sometime in firefox some of the characters seems not fully rendered, and as I recall it can also happen in menu fonts sometimes. In the attached screen-shot you can see that it's the a character that has the problem - but only for one font type or? But I have seen this with most characters I think - and as stated this happens randomly.For instance right now I looked again in the tab in firefox where I just 5 minutes ago did the screen-shot and now all characters are correct?? I have tried to reload or even restart firefox when it occurs, but this is now guaranty for a solution... When it happens it makes many homepages unreadable
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got a slight problem here, and have had it for a while: When I use the "Sharp'N'Clear" .fonts.conf from Here, and set an optimized font like Arial, gtk-based applications render correctly, while Qt-based ones don't As you can see, the top window(Firefox) has it's fonts clean and nice. The bottom one(Dolphin) does not. Both are set to Arial 9. I've tried it with a number of different applications, including some custom PyQt4 stuff, and it's clear that it's -all- Qt-based applications and not just one or two.
For further information, I've had this problem ever since I upgraded from Kubuntu 9.10 a while back - That version worked correctly on both Qt and gtk, but nothing since has.
I am looking for 3D composing and rendering software which has a text-based scene file format. I saw that there was such software that was free open source (e.g. GPL or BSD licensing) a couple years ago, but forgot what that was. I looked at Blender just now, but its format is binary.
The purpose for this is to, in step 1, compose a scene that acts as a template, and in step 2, generate additional elements for the scene, or modify the scene, with specific data used to control those elements. This data will change each time step 2 is done. The purpose is to do a 3D image of certain measured source data. And step 2 needs to be doable w/o the GUI interface so it can be run on servers. Step 2 will be done w/o any human activity (e.g. an hourly cron job, for example).
i am having big trouble to have working the HW 3D acceleration. First of all i have 2 simple questions:
1) Is there anyone that have successfully working this card, with 3D HW accel (OpenGL) on KDE, using opensource drivers (radeon + libgl1-mesa-dri)? 2) Or better, is this board fully supported for 3D HW acceleration ? Actually, only software rendering and XRender are working for me, with a really poor performance in kde.

i have upgraded my desktop from 13.0 to 13.1 and the font rendering suffered big time (did the same procedure on the laptop but no problems there). anyway, the fonts on kdm are really bad as well as konsole and firefox. other qt apps don't seem too bad but should be much better. xterm and xmobar don't seem to be affected at all. the machine is running the 13.1 sbo of nvidia drivers.
i have tried a few things: playing with the anti-aliasing settings in kde control center (all the settings offered differnet level of 'badness' and no 'goodness') and trying to use the settings in the nvidia control panel but that didn't seem to have any effect.
I've installed some custom programming fonts, namely Speedy.pcf. Its a .pcf, so I just coped it into /usr/share/fonts/misc, and ran mkfontscale, mkfontdir. I can use the font fine in 'xfontsel' and 'urxvt', but when GTK2 tries to render this font. its not even the same font, its just using some default font.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it just me or does the font rendering in Slackware64 13.37 look bad? It reminds me of the bad old days of having to recompile freetype with the then-patent-encumbered option to make the fonts look decent. When I print, everything looks normal. On screen it doesn't look right. I don't really know how to describe it other than it how things used to change after a freetype recompile. Is there anything major that changed between 13.1 and 13.37 WRT fonts in KDE, X, or freetype for that matter? FWIW, I did a clean install with a new .kde instead of using the old one.

After seeing disappointing FPS in games with the open source AMD driver, I decided to install the proprietary one using the instructions on the Debian wiki. As I have a Mobility Radeon HD 3670, I needed to install the legacy driver. Everything installed fine, and I was able to configure my GPU by putting
Code: Select allSection "Device"
Identifier "My GPU"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fglrx.conf. I then restarted the computer, so that the open source driver could be blacklisted. In addition to the base driver installation, I installed the legacy Catalyst Control Center and the 32-bit fglrx OpenGL library. The problem is that, whenever I run fgl_glxgears, the rendering window is just a black screen. KDE renders just fine, and I am currently typing this using Iceweasel. I have tried using aticonfig to disable fast TLS, but the problem still occurs. The packages that I have installed are:
firmware-linux-nonfree
fglrx-legacy-control amd64
fglrx-legacy-atieventsd amd64
fglrx-legacy-driver amd64
fglrx-legacy-modules-dkms amd64
libfglrx-legacy amd64 and i386
libfglrx-legacy-amdxvba1 amd64
and libgl1-fglrx-legacy-glx amd64 and i386
. Also, when I type fglrxinfo, the renderer string is my GPU and not a software renderer.
improve rendering speed in Fedora? I notice it's very, very slow compared to Firefox on Windows, and Safari on Mac. I know my hardware is quite old, but it should behave similar to Windows...
