OpenSUSE Hardware :: GUI Fonts 'magnified' After NVDIA Driver Installation
Jan 21, 2011
I have a splendid SONY Vaio Full HD with a NVIDIA GeForce GT330m.I have OpenSUSE 11.3 64bits installed.With the default driver, everything looks good.Once the official NVIDIA driver is installed, all the GUI fonts are "magnified". The resolution did not chane (always 1920x1080), but the gui font are so huge that I feel like on my old laptop with screen resolution 1024x800.I checked the configuration, but all fonts are set to 9 or 10 pixels high, but they look much bigger.

I have installed SUSE 11.3 and I am using KDE4. I also installed the font "misc-console".
After installing the NVIDIA driver 256.53 the font misc-console becomes useless because it is displayed so much slanted that it is imposible to read. However, if I disable the NVIDIA driver (by replacing "nvidia" with "nv" in xorg.conf), then it works fine. It also works fine in KDE3 and the NVIDIA driver. So, it seems to be a combination between NVIDIA and KDE4. A lot other fonts are also overly slanted and unreadable (like "Sony fixed", "misc fixed", etc.).
If I launch konsole from a terminal, I receive the following warning:
konsole(6928) Konsole::TerminalDisplay::setVTFont: Using an unsupported variable-width font in the terminal. This may produce display errors.
Is there a way that I can use "misc-console" without having to uninstall the NVIDIA driver? I'm just used to this font for my terminal.
The same happens whether I install the driver manually or through YAST, 32 or 64 bit. The video card is NVIDIA 8400GS, the system Athlon 64 4400+

I have just installed openSUSE 11.2 X86_64 on my laptop, I then used KDE to install lots of type 1 fonts for my printer. These get loaded to /usr/local/share/fonts/...These installed fonts are visible to KDE (KWRITE) and GIMP so I assume that the installation was O.K. When I start openOFFICE writer I do not see these fonts. The font selection appears to be the fonts located under /usr/share/fonts. I have not tried other ooo3 components. I assume that they are not going to see the fonts either.
I have searched google and it appears that /usr/local/share/fonts is the correct location for non-packaged fonts. Has anybody any idea what is wrong? I think I could move all the fonts to /usr/share/fonts and ooo3 would work but this seems to break the installation directory structure. I have considered symlinks but I don't like the idea of defining a font twice to Linux and creating the syslinks is more work than reinstalling the fonts if they are lost

I have Fedora 15 installed in my PC and I use it both for gaming and work. Now the open source nouveau driver was working fine, until I had to install the nvidia driver so that I could play torcs, as I was unable to get good graphics in nouveau. Now, when using the nvidia driver, the gnome shell has become too slow and sometimes unworkable, though games run good. Is there any way so that I can use both the drivers and switch between them when needed (say use nvidia when gaming and nouveau while at work) without uninstalling and reinstalling them?
PS: when I boot up, the grub shows two options, one is the fedora with latest kernel and other is the old kernel. Is there a possible way that I use nouveau with old kernel and nvidia in the new kernel? This will really help in switching games and work.

I'm trying to build a live cd, and would like to know what video drivers work with both ATI, and Nvdia.
My current live cd installs the nvdia drivers, but the system I'm using it on has an ATI card. I don't get it. I also can't figure out How I broke the run in safe graphics mode option, but it's no longer available.

I tried to update one of my home machines with a fresh install. This is far from new to me so I did not expect any problem. But I was proven wrong. First: did install the system as usual. First anomaly: system blocked during the install process but did restart it flawlessly one I tried to eject the DVD from the player. It needed actually that intervention to retake working. It then went to install and froze during the first system start. I rebooted with failsafe settings, it then correctly configured. I reached a beautiful desktop. I performed the updates from the update repository and I joined the nvidia proprietary driver repository (which updated to the G02 driver).
I then rebooted the machine and now I am in trouble. In normal mode the system (dual boot Opensuse, XP) does not boot at all and freezes immediately after hitting enter as before. In safe mode it goes further but does not reach X anymore. It blocks with the following line statement: "system console stolen at line 266". I then tried "startx". But the system goes into a scrolling loop that does not allow me to read the output. how to get at least the error message of the loop? I read some line passing by that the system might have an X11 authorization problem.
Athlon Phenom X4 905e
Nividea G7600 graphic card
Former system installed and running flawlessly: 11.1

I am a newbie with Linux and I am eager to learn it .
I installed RHEL6 beta on My Dell D620 and everything seems to be fine except the Video Driver. I installed the Desktop and the Video card of my laptop is NVIDIA QUADRO NVS110M with the max resolution 1440x900. The max resolution I have now is 1024x768.I want to install the NVDIA driver,I already downloaded the RPMS from http://www.atrpms.net/ website but I am afraid it won't work because of dependencies..if I try to use the hard way by using rpm -Uhv.
Is there any other way for example using YUM or other ways.If I use YUM what command I have to type.

I just finished installing a bunch of truetype fonts. After installing them, firefox is displaying "bradybunch" font when I search google.
The font settings are all serif and sans serif in both the system fonts settings and firefox settings.
I am using ubuntu 9.10.
Any idea why this could be happening?

I have a folder with over 1500 fonts, I would like to move them to my /usr/share/fonts folder so that they can be used. Some are from Windows, some are just random extras. I've installed the msttcorefonts, but there are quite a few missing that make some wen pages look different.
How can I go about putting the fonts from my folder, into the appropriate /usr/share/fonts folder to be used? And how can I move them all? I can't drag and drop them, and mv FONT_NAME /usr/share/fonts for all of them will take a month or two. Is there a way to elevate my self to be able to just drag and drop them all? And which folder would they need to go into for them to be used in Chrome and Firefox?

I installed openSuse 11.3 gnome 64bits edition 2 weeks ago and was pleased. Yesterday I wanted to monitor my ATI 4850 temperature so I decided to install ATI official drivers, which turned to be a big mistake.I ran this script found on this forum :
Code:
#! /bin/bash
# --------------------------------------------------------------
# What This script does the following :
# - unload fglrx if needed
# - make a copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if any)

Once rebooted, I wanted to enable compiz effetcs, an error message said there was no driver detected, I was surprised but clicked to enable effects. No effects were enabled and worse, window borders disappeared. There is no more window manager. I search on this forum, tried to boot in level 3, ran the script again. The problem remains. However if I boot in level 3, then type "startx" I have window borders but scrolling is terribly slow, just as when there is no driver installed on Microsoft Windows. I have some basic knowledge of Ubuntu, but I was clumsy with openSuse. So here are my questions :
1) how come compiz is not supported when official drivers are installed ? on Ubuntu it's the opposite, compiz requires proprietary drivers 2) how can I fix this mess ? I tried to reinstall Xorg but I fear to worsen everything

I've got, from Nvidia, the 64bit driver for my card. After typing, sudo sh <filename>, I get, cc not in your path. What do I need to do, is this a C compiler? Isn't gcc already installed by default. I just installed OpenSUSE within the hour. Totally new to SUSE, and almost new to Linux. Just trying to give several distros a trial run.

When I originally installed 11.3, the Nvidia driver was not yet available by repo, so I used the "hard way" installation: the .run file downloaded from the Nvidia site with the kernel module compilation step.It appears that the repo has been updated and I can now use that one. What are the correct steps to install the repo driver? Do I uninstall the existing driver first?

I read over the installation instructions given here. However, they make reference to two versions: openSUSE 11.3-IA32 and openSUSE 11.3-AMD64. I have a 64-bit Intel system; are these instructions only for AMD chips, or do they refer to something else?

Is it possible to install a video driver at the time of the installation of the operating system? I have made multiple installation attempts using the various 11.4 x64 live & non-live versions. As soon as I get past the splash screen with the boot options, the display becomes corrupt & continuing is impossible. I have attempted using the various video options under the F6 menu (text mode, vesa, safe mode) without success.
I am reasonably certain it is a failure of the video driver. I have observed the identical behaviour while installing MS Windows with the incorrect video driver. The video chipset manufacturer does provide a linux driver on their website. It is a .run file. I have the .run file on a USB stick along with the OS files. This is a link to the hardware platform I am attempting to install to. Is it possible that my video chipset has insufficient video memory?

I'm trying to use the windows fonts on my linux machine. I've found a nice tutorial which suggests to change the dpi to 96x96 (windows default).
It seems that i'm not able to change the dpi. I've tried with sax2 => no luck. Manually editing the xorg.conf file => no luck. My dpi remain always the same. I've logged out even rebooted. Same.
# xdpyinfo | grep dimen
dimensions: 1600x900 pixels (443x249 millimeters)
# xdpyinfo | grep resol
resolution: 92x92 dots per inch
I've changed the dimensions to 423x238 mm. I should get a 96x96 dpi with these but no. After restarting, xdpyinfo shows the same old settings.

I have used a patched Cairo in 11.2 from Packman and the fonts were excellent. Now I upgraded to 11.3 and installed freetype from subpixel repo. While I have good fonts in Qt now, in Gnome still they are bad. There is no patched Cairo in Packman for 11.3 Installing the patched Cairo for 11.2 from Packman and from Ubuntu-patch project did not help

Got a problem with fonts in 'Konsole'-windows. 'Bold' fonts are being cut off at the last letter. Sometimes only half the letter is visible, sometimes the letter is completely invisible. No problems with fonts in xterm. Set the standards in '/etc/DIR_COLORS', but the problem still exists in (for example):
- man-pages (headings)
- perldoc (headings)
- vi (infos at bottom, like -- INSERT --)
- ...
Is there a solution to turn off bold fonts in Konsole completely? Would be my favourite! I'm using OpenSUSE 11.3, KDE 4.4.4 "release 2"...

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?

when adding the www2.ati.com/suse/11.2 repo to yast and installing the fglrxg01 I get this errormessage: Fehler: INVALIDaket ati-fglrxG01-kmp-desktop-8.593_2.6.31.5_0.1-21.1 wurde anscheinend w�hrend des Transfers besch�digt. Wollen Sie es erneut abrufen? checksum incorrect)
Suse asks me to install it anyway but then decides to not let me install it, only leaves skip, cancel and retry. when doing skip, suse also managed to fcuk up Grub and removes all the entries for suse. Installing the driver doing like ATI Proprietary Driver Install Guide | openSuSE 11.2 vanilla - openSUSE Forums
fails miserably too. the free radeon driver on my FirePro V7750 on the Dell 6400 still has artefact all over screen, I hardly can type., this linux installing is still quite frustrating. or should I try Linux maybe in a year again?
