I have an ATI Radeon x1300 graphic card on an Intel platform.Since the last reinstall my Debian Squeeze system shows very poor performance in glxgears,only 80-90 FPS. Last time I had a problem the kms setting in the kernel. I disabled the modding setting in GRUB and then glxgears showed about 900-1300 FPS. Now,the problem is back, even though I made the same setting in the boot loader.
I installed an hp 1300 AIO printer on Ubuntu 8.10. The printer copies fine, so I know that it has ink. However, whenever I print the printer will look like it is printing but will not actually put any ink on the page. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I ran sudo hp-check -r and these errors came up---

I recently upgraded my old Hauppauge TV Card (BT878) with a HVR-1300. Whilst the older card worked OK, I am struggling to get the new card to work, despite it seemingly having installed OK in YaST.
Just installed Ubuntu 9.10 after vista I never want to go near windows again, I want to make it clear I am a complete novice at this, wouldn't know what a command line was if it jumped up and bit me on the bum, let alone how to edit one.
Installed an HP PSC 1300 all in one printer, system sees it, installs it without any trouble, as soon as I try to print it just hangs there in pending till it defaults and I get communication error 5012, also the message /usr/lib/cups/backend/ hp failed.
I have removed and re-installed the printer and the latest version of hplip more than once but am getting nowhere, the printer and cable work fine when attached to my laptop which is running xp until i learn more about Linux.
I have an Inspiron 1300 and have followed the "B43" instructions here:URl...Plus various other guides including the "one click b43 fix" but nothing useful happens. Wired access doesn't work either.
i came upon this wireless card and i wondered if its any wheres near possible to make it work since the netgear PC card wont function properly on the laptop.
I've a Toshiba M40-282, with an ati mobility x700. I tried Ubuntu and now Fedora and I'm having the same problem..The pc is fast in anything except videos (like megavideo)..running glxgears the pc starts slowing down as when i watch videos. What can I do? try another distribution? try something else?
Code: dave@dave-laptop:~$ glxgears X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 135 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString) Serial number of failed request: 16 Current serial number in output stream: 16
I guess this is indicative of an underlying problem with X11. However, I have no idea how to solve this or, indeed, where to start.
The following is my system: AMD Athlon II x4 620 2.6Ghz 4GB DDR2-800 DC Radeon HD 5770 1gb Ubuntu 10.4 LTS, latest proprietary drivers.
On GLXGears, I only get 12k fps. This seems very low, especially considering the fact that my Acer Aspire One laptop gets 1-5k scores on a POS Intel GMA 950.
My exercise below is to check if glxgears crashes xorg of CentOS5.4 with Intel GM965 Chipset. Apparently I don't have luck in this case. Since the exercise failed, it means I will still stick to CentOS 5.2 (residing on a different partition) for a while, even though CentOS5.2 crashes glxgears too. After "yum upgrade" (done after moving all repos in /etc/yum.repos.d to elsewhere except CentOS-Base.repo and CentOS-Media.repo), I ran glxgears that consistently crashes CentOS5.2 xorg, an issue that upset me quite a bit.
During upgrade, I saw a line "grubby fatal error : unable to find a suitable template". I guess the my grub.conf is too confusing for the installer, but that is not big deal, I just used the kernel number 2.6.18-164 where it is applicable. Even this this new update, glxgears still crash the xorg (the screen froze and then a new login screen reappears). With this I am sure the 3D application might still crash the xorg from time to time. (I can still revert to CentOS5.2 with a tar file, but I am still thinking to just upgrade to Centos5.3 but I don't know how.)
I just installed Debian Squeeze a couple days ago and haven't had any problems so far except trying to get 3D acceleration to work with my Radeon 5770 card. When running glxgears, I get over 900 FPS and the gears are spinning great. When I try to run a 3D game like OpenArena, ScorchedEarth, or FlightGear, they are all so slow as to be unplayable. (extremely slow)
I've been trying to get this working for a while and had no luck.As per internet advice, I installed firmware-linux-free and firmware-linux-nonfree.
In glxinfo, it says "direct rendering: yes"
In my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file it says:
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled (II) RADEON(0): Acceleration disabled (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev
When i checked last time couple months back glx gears gave me 1400 frames around now i get
Code: glxgears Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
21 frames in 6.6 seconds = 3.160 FPS 2 frames in 5.6 seconds = 0.359 FPS 84 frames in 5.8 seconds = 14.362 FPS 149 frames in 5.0 seconds = 29.724 FPS 300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.814 FPS and everything is running slow im wondering where the problem might be? code....
lgfxgears is the new minibenchmark for your graphics card. Its compatible with wide range of hardwares. The new glxgears alternative looks better, and speed depends on graphics card and driver's power. It compatible with linux, and windows. I would happy if peoples would poste here they results. i alreday have a few:
nVidia GeForce 9800+ 180 fps win ATi Radeon 9800 pro 62 fps win ATi Radeon 9800 pro 76 fps linux
11.04 x86 4Gb RAM Dual 2.8 AMD ATI x1650 radeon (512mb)
I've been struggling with this for months now and I've tried some many things, I've forgotten half of them!
Basically, 11.04 picks up my card fine using the open xorg driver. I've got compize desktop effects (wobbly windows) but I can't play any HD video as it stutters and is completely unwatchable.
So to do any video editing, I have to boot into my Windows 7 install where the performance is considerably better.
Now then, I once managed to get a glxgears frame rate of 11,000 before I broke my install and had to re-install. Now I can't get above 300fps

Is it possible to run Openbox/Gnome in 10.10? My goal is to change virtual desktops with the mouse scroll wheel. I've installed Openbox, but Openbox/Gnome will not work.
i have recently installed arch linux with just openbox and tint2. i have heard that openbox is a light desktop enviroment but at boot it uses about 300 mb of ram and it seems alot to me.i am also trying to get alt+F2 hotkeys to open gmrun so i added this to the openbox config file:
<!-- Keybindings for running applications --> <keybind key="C-F2"> <action name="Execute">
When my .xinitrc contains exec /usr/bin/openbox-session My displays will turn off like there is no video output. I cannot switch to a TTY (or at least there is still no video when I try). I can however ssh into the machine. Alt+SysRq+K does not seem to kill the X session, but Alt+SysRq+B will reboot the machine.When my .xinitrc contains exec /usr/bin/openbox and I manually run sh .config/openbox/autostart.sh everything seems to go smoothly. I really don't understand the discrepancy.

I set openbox wallpaper with: Code: feh --bg-scale ~/Pictures/image.jpg & In ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh last line. But some kind of KDE stuff overrides it and sets default again after few seconds. I can override it again with manual command. How can I set wallpaper then in openbox in proper way?
I use Eclipse IDE and there is a handy binding that I use when I'm running Eclipse on Windows that doesn't work under Openbox. Ctrl-Alt-Up causes a line to be duplicated. I've tried everything to have this key sequenced passed to Eclipse under Openbox, but it seems Openbox is taking itI've tried commenting out all the C-A-Up settings in rc.xml, but that doesn't seem to work. How to configure Openbox (or whomever) to pass the sequence on to the application?
I like to explore, but it seems this time I have gone too far. I tried using vi to edit /etc/sysconfig.d/windowmanager but no changes seems to do anything.

I am using ubuntu + openbox.Openbox does not use any program to managed the desktop,so I only could see a black screen.What file do i have to edit for change the colour?I don't want to use a program (like nitrogen to select a background image etc).
