OpenSUSE Hardware :: Switch On 3d Acceleration Without Installing The Proprietary Driver From ATI/AMD?

Jul 26, 2011

I'm using openSuse 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4. My graphics card is an Asus EAH 5450 with an ATI radeon HD 5450 GPU. I'm using the opensource radeon driver. When I open sysinfo:/ in Konqueror, I see the following info:

Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
Model:
2D driver: radeon
3D driver: swrast (No 3D Acceleration) (7.8.2))

How do I switch on 3d acceleration without installing the proprietary driver from ATI/AMD? I know this must be possible because on another computer, I have also openSuse 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4 and an ATI radeon HD 4350 installed and it has 3d enabled directly after installation of openSuse with the opensource radeon driver.

Software :: Having Trouble Installing ATI Proprietary Driver

Nov 20, 2010

I'm having a teensy problem with installing something. About time, too, everything was going so smoothly. Anyway, I'm trying to install the ATI Proprietary Linux Drivers so this new video card (well, I say "new" though it's actually a rather old card, a Radeon x300, but still better than my embedded gpu) that I have will be stable whenever I play some games, and I get one particular problem I'm having trouble getting around..

I really don't know how to fix this. Completely clueless, in fact, except for maybe reinstalling XFree86 or changing the PATH env variable to something else, but I don't know what to change it to. Hm...

Debian Hardware :: Installing The ATI Proprietary Driver Properly ?

Jan 3, 2011

I've just installed Debian and then installed the ATI driver to correct the resolution and to hopefully give me better performance, it seemed to give the opposite effect and has made my computer painfully slow and choppy.

I downloaded this driver for my ATI 4870 card:

And ran the following commands:

I do not know how to add my account to sudo.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: How To Clear Proprietary NVidia Driver And Replace With Nouveau Driver

Jun 13, 2011

There is one thing missing (I think) a clear guide to clearing out Nvidia and replacing it with nouveau. For all but hardened gamers, nouveau on 11.4 delivers. It also removes one more barrier to what I think is the intended goad of Tumbleweed.The problem IMHO is not that there are no clear guides. The problem is there are too many. No sooner does one person do a guide (that is clear) and someone else who does not like some point writes another guide that they think is more clear (but in fact is less clear in other aspects). And this goes on ad infinitum.IMHO we have too many guides - many of which are sufficient clear ... but the VAST number only serves to confuse users more.

Having typed that, IMHO this is NOT a Tumbleweed specific issue, but its MUCH WIDER in scope and hence does not belong as a discussion in this Tumbleweed thread.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Nvidia G8800GTS Proprietary Driver Not Downloading / Installing - Solve This?

May 20, 2010

Very new to linux, just downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 and installed it, dual boot, no problems with initial installation.

Trying to install graphics card driver for:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 8800 GTS 512] (rev a2)

Using Administration -> Hardware Devices

I selected the recommended driver and clicked activate. Download started then failed with error message:

SystemError: Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...ntu3_amd64.deb Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.30 80]

Screenshot attached.

Tried several times now and the download doesn't even seem to start any more.

My Internet connection is 3 mobile broadband, which may have something to do with it, bit it seems to be working well at the moment.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 Upgrade And ATI Proprietary Driver

Aug 8, 2010

I've been running OpenSuSE 11.2 for some time now; my system is a Dell 64-bit with an ATI 46xx graphics card and I've used the proprietary ATI driver without difficulty, as the driver provided with OpenSuSE was pretty much unusable. I'm considering upgrading to v11.3, but there seem to be scattered horror stories involving ATI cards, particularly when it comes to ATI's proprietary driver.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: How To Remove ATI Proprietary Driver

Aug 1, 2010

I installed ATI 10.7 driver successfully but its not up to my expectations, e.g VLC not working right (video stutters, etc). And I want to revert back to the default radeon which was a lot better until the ATI 10.8 driver comes out.

By the way, what is this in my /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install? code...

And how do I revert back to 'radeon'?

OpenSUSE :: Prey - Calling Malcolmlewis And Oldcpu?

Sep 8, 2010

I've just come across the stolen laptop thread where Prey was discussed to help track a stolen laptop. Since I'm going to a trip with my laptop I thought I'd try Prey.

I installed it from the link Malcom posted but cannot figure out how to configure it. I ran the menu item which asked for my root password after which nothing seemed to happen. How do I add the API and key? In the Prey web control panel it says my device is unverified.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Reconfigure Refresh With Proprietary NVIDIA Driver?

Mar 29, 2011

I've given it the old college try for a couple years, starting with openSUSE 11.1 without success. I'm up to 11.4 now with no change or relief. My openSUSE box with NVIDIA proprietary driver and the default refresh settings of 80KHz/75Hz, has an annoying beat frequency with... something, somewhere, causing an annoying ghostly flicker on my trusty 1280x1024 LCD display. I can run both openSUSE and Windows XP on this hardware and they both have the same annoying flicker at those settings. However, in Windows XP, all I have to do is select a 70Hz refresh, resulting in settings of 74.6KHz/70 Hz, and the annoying flicker is cured... for Windows only, of course. I have tried to change these settings in openSUSE to no affect. In 11.4, I find that the advice is to create modelines using CVT and edit xorg.conf, but despite rigid adherence to instructions, there's no change. The monitor continues to see refresh settings of 80KHz/75Hz and the annoying flicker persists.

I hate to rag on openSUSE since it does so many things well, but there's a number of adjustments I'd like to make, especially the vertical refresh, that simply won't change, even when following documented or testamented procedures. Concentrating on the vertical refresh for now, is there anything that really works?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: OpenCL With The Packaged Proprietary NVIDIA Driver Not Working?

Sep 8, 2010

what the prepackaged proprietary nvidia driver is missing to run compiled OpenCL programs.

I have the pre-packaged proprietary nvidia driver from [URL] and the package is missing some files, like lobOpenCL.so, which I extracted from the .run file and put manually in the /usr/lib64 directory toether with creating some symlinks. I can compile my opencl programs fine (C | // // File: hello.c // - Anonymous - 3BF2vDzc - [URL], Getting started with OpenCL and GPU Computing), but when I run, the firsr opencl-related function clGetPlatformIDs returns an error code.

Again, I try to figure out what the prepackaged driver is missing. If I use the nvidia .run script driver, the problem probably does not exist. CUDA executables run fine (compiled on an other opensuse machine without nvidia card)

opensuse 11.1 64bit, nvidia quadrofx3700 driver version 256.53

OpenSUSE Install :: Easy Install Of ATI Proprietary Driver In Console

Mar 12, 2011

For those who need or want to install the latest ATI proprietary driver (Catalyst 11.2) right after a fresh 11.4 install - and might not look for solutions in the development subforum.In order to compile the module, I installed the kernel sources and the pattern devel_basis. I normally use most packages in this pattern, so I install it by default from other scripts. While running atiupgrade on a fresh install, I was surprised by the number of packages getting installed with that pattern.Please report if it doesn't work. (like aticonfig initial failed to add a fglrx section for some reason).Take a look at the atiupgrade thread in the development forum: Upgrading ATI driver with atiupgrade.

Debian Hardware :: Proprietary Driver For AMD GPU

Aug 8, 2014

I have installed Debian 7 with KDE for the first time on my desktop and wanted to try the proprietairy driver for my AMD gpu (2100)

I followed these steps: [URL] ....

But, after typing this in the terminal

Code: Select all# aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,')

I was asked to remove a lot, I mean...a lot of packages

Code: Select all@debian:~$ sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,')
to be REMOVED: 
  ant{u} ant-optional{u} apper{u} apper-data{u} ark{u} ca-certificates-java{u} cdparanoia{u} cdrdao{u}
  crda{u} default-jre{u} default-jre-headless{u} dnsmasq-base{u} dolphin{u} dvd+rw-tools{u}

  freespacenotifier{u} genisoimage{u} growisofs{u} gwenview{u} htdig{u} hyphen-en-us{u}

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Proprietary Driver Installation

Dec 14, 2010

I installed my version of 10.10 with the VMWare Player Auto Installer, and I know when you install Ubuntu 10.10 it asks if you want to install the proprietary drivers.The install must have said no to this question. Is there anyway without re-installing of getting back to this question?

Debian Multimedia :: How To Keep Out Proprietary NVIDIA Driver

Feb 20, 2016

Debian Jessie kernel 3.16.0 AMD64. Legacy GeForce 66oo GT video card.

I just re-installed Jessie via Debian non-free DVD. When I run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, the screen says to the effect :

"Before Nouveau can be used, must remove Nvidia config from xorg.conf and xorg.conf.d"

Is there a simple way to keep Nouveau and blacklist or prevent Nvidia driver from being automatically installed in the first place?

Fedora :: Disable Proprietary Driver Under Boot

Jan 14, 2011

My laptop screen suddenly fails to show anything else than a black screen. Hence I would like to connect it to another external screen in order to debug and/or data backup for a new computer.When I connect it to an external screen and boot the system (Fedora 13) I see the different services getting started succesfully on the screen. In the end of the boot procedure usually my proprietary Nvidia driver loads (recognized by the big Nvidia logo) - but this fails to show up on the external display. So from the point where the Nvidia driver usually loads I have no working display.

I think I know why. It's because I installed a proprietary Nvidia driver and saved the configuration in Xorg.conf - and the saved configuration does not include this particular external display. So now the driver insist on starting on the non-functional laptop display.

Here comes the question: can I somehow stall the boot process (while it is shown on the external display) and disable the driver (and delete the Xorg.conf file)?

Ubuntu :: NVIDIA Proprietary Driver Won't Build On 2.6.32.24?

Sep 1, 2010

I have used the NVidia proprietary drivers for awhile. Yes, I know about nv and I even know about the prepackaged ones, but I've never minded getting the latest from NVidia, dropping out of X, and running the install which automatically rebuilds everything.

I recently took the synaptic update to 2.6.32-24. It worked fine and -- I guess -- migrated my driver. I didn't think about it. For no particular reason today I tried to build the latest NVIDIA driver (256.53 -- had been on an earlier 256 series). The build failed with some conftest failures. Even trying to rebuild the working driver failed. Reverting to 2.6.32-23 allowed both to be built and they work. So something the NVIDIA installer is expecting headerwise must be different between 2.6.32-23 and -24.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: 10.10 Nvidia Proprietary Driver No GUI

Nov 23, 2010

Installing Mythbuntu 10.10, which I finally got installed properly. At first I installed the open-source video drivers just to make sure the installation worked, then I installed the "version current" proprietary drivers using the graphics drivers manager...tool...thing. However, when I restarted the computer, it has a text-mode splash screen and I stay in the first virtual terminal.

If I try to go to the GUI "terminal" [Ctrl-Alt-F7], it appears to be partway through some kind of check:

Code:

I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to try to get back to the open-source drivers, but it didn't give any text output and went straight to the next line of command prompt, when I restarted it did the exact same thing. Any tips for at least getting back to the open drivers? I'd like to not have to reinstall again (I'm dual-booting WinXP,). The card in question is a GeForce 6200 AGP.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Only Get Sound With Proprietary ATI Driver

Nov 29, 2010

I'm afraid I only have basic experience with *nix command lines and have only been using Ubuntu for a week, so I may require a little bit of hand holding on something as nuts-and-bolts as a driver issue.

Relevant Hardware:
From lspci -v
Quote:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3470 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: PC Partner Limited Device e390
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 49
Memory at 80000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
Memory at 90200000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
I/O ports at 2000 [size=256]
[Code]....

The Symptoms/Experience: Under the default installation of Ubuntu, I have no sound. When I install the proprietary ATI drivers, I have sound. I can uninstall and reinstall the proprietary drivers and recreate this every time.

My only problem with using the proprietary driver is that there's a lot of problems with video playback that is fixed with the free, default driver. But when I use it, I have no sound and watching a movie is still not very fun. From everything I read, many people are using the provided ATI driver with sound and fixing that should be easier than fixing the ATI driver's video tearing, which has largely stumped the community. Having failed to install "OSS" and now having no sound with either driver, I'm probably going to reformat/reinstall today but am looking forward to fixing this issue.

General :: Blank Screen With Proprietary ATI Driver

Jul 8, 2011

I would like to get better 3D performance, so I decided to try the proprietary ATI driver. The Arch Wiki page about it (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Catalyst) isn't very helpful, I don't really understand it. It mentions different packages and something about some kernel modules, with no explanation at all about what they do and very poor instructions on how to use them.

I just tried installing "catalyst-daemon" from the AUR, but it just gives me a blank screen when I start X. Nothing happens when I try to use Ctrl+Alt+F2, and nothing happens when I try to blindly log in and enter "shutdown -r now" (I ended up pressing the Reset button). I uninstalled it (everything still worked fine as long as you don't start X), and now everything's back to normal.
