I just installed the propretary driver for my graphics card, that I could excellerate my gfx.
I tried working with the ATI CCC, and it can't run because of my graphics configuration. It says to run aticonfig. I do, and I don't get anything helpful. It needs an argument. I tried --initial, but it can't find my Xorg config in the standard path.
I am on Fedora 13, and have a Radeon HD 3870 graphics card. Using the standard open source graphics driver. I am doing some video editing and watching some large movie files (5gb+) so I would like to see if my graphics card is actually doing anything to help. I'm up against a brick wall though - I can't get the GPU usage, memory, or temp. It should do something through GPU hardware video decoding with motion compensation etc. But I can't tell if it doing anything because I can't find anyway to test it.I've enabled direct rendering in mplayer but I don't know if it is doing anything as I have no way to test.
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust purchased and installed an ATI Radeon HD 5450 graphics card and installed the proprietary drivers via System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. After rebooting the machine X would not load so I restarted into recovery and removed my xorg.conf. At this point I could restart normally and the machine would let me into X. I went to System > Preferences > ATI Catalyst Control Center to try and configure the card.
I receive the following message:
There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following. No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI Driver is not functioning properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for your ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig.
So, I did just that, I restored my backup xorg.conf (configured for nvidia card) and executed 'sudo aticonfig --initial', it made the proper changes and additions to the configuration file and this is what it looks like [view xorg.conf]. I then restarted the machine and X still refuses to begin [view Xorg.0.log]. Again, I went in removed the xorg.conf file and the machine will load normally. I tried running fglrxinfo to try and see if the card was properly installed and it just threw a segmentation fault.
Using this video card but unable to find the setting for it in the options. I am using a generic VGA setting right now and it's getting less than optimum resolution. What's the proper setting for this card?
This is RedHat Enterprise edition.
The machine is Dell OptiPlex 745
The monitor is Dell 2005FPW (Digital)
The graphics is:
ATI Radeon X1300 Professional
I need to setup a dual-headed workstation that will be starting one instanse of certain program in each monitor. I got screens configured. But get errors when running a command for second monitor.

Last year I had a gui tool for configuring the radeon open source drivers in my old slackware install but now I forgot the name of it. I'm pretty sure it was gtk based and no matter what I type in google I can't seem to find any reference to it. There is a radeontool but that's not it. Anyone know what the name for it was, or something else that provides easy configuring of the open source radeon drivers? I remember it had lots of options to configure including some I've never heard of. Thought it'd be easy to find now since it seemed so officially supported during the time I used it!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI replaced an ATI Radeon 9550 with a Radeon X1300/X1550, in hopes of better performance.
My System: P4@3GHz, 1.5Gb RAM, Fedora 12, kernel 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.
Faults: Screen refresh is extremely low. Glxgears outputs 25 FPS. Dragging windows around is sometimes really slow.
What I did so far, in hope of fixing it:
1. Installed 'system-config-display', for providing an xorg.conf
2. Did: yum --enablerepo=rawhide update mesa-dri-drivers-experimental mesa*, fixing this, but to no avail...
I cannot find any errors in the log...I don't know what to do...
I am posting my Xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log and Glxinfo through links to pastebin.com
POST UPDATE:
When running GlxGears, I get a bit of motion, and then the gears freeze for 1 second. And this goes on and on. But...if I move the mouse around, I get 1100FPS!
Now I messed a bit with xorg.conf and the "SWCursor" Option, but the above happens when this option is on "true". On "false" there is no 1100FPS, only the freezing loop...
the HD 3870 X2 is getting very hot and loud on My fresh Ubuntu 11.04 (64bit) Installation.But on Windows 7(64bit) it's running just fine
AFAIK there are 4 profiles saved in 3870's BIOS
the BOOT Profile = Maximum performance and energy consumption (that i can hear at boot it is extreamly loud)
the 2D Profile = Medium Performance - lower energy consumption and quiet
the 3D Profile = Medium to Maximum Performance (on demand) Crysis2 = very Loud
the idle Profile = Low Performance and Low energy consumption (Windows Explorer/ Photoshop)
the problem is IMHO that the card doesn't switch to the default profile after the GUI booted.so i disabled compiz/ desktop effects and stuff the card kinda thinks i'm not in IDLE catalyst is installed via Ubuntu's driver install program 3d acceleration works but i got a "AMD Unsupported product" Watermark in the right corner of my desktop, pretty anoying tho...
I have a problem with my two new screens. Second screen is now clone of the first one and I can't get them to a one "wide" desktop. (you know what I mean?) When I go to Configure Desktop -> Display, I have two DFP's: DFP1 and DFP2. When I change position of DFT2 from "clone" -> "right of" , my second screen goes black.. I have tried to use Sax2 to configure but when I test "side to side" mode screens and keyboard stops working and I need to reboot. how I can get it to work?

I been searching for months on how to get the s-video to work on my pci VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] card. I found a site with instructions.
This is how I got it to work.
I install Debian 5.0 Lenny Desktop
added the Driver "radeon" to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
This work and I was able to use my tv as a monitor however when I try to play a video file from totem or vlc all I could get was audio with no video; These files work and played fine in the CRT monitor.
My desktop which has an ATI 3870 will not show a GUI for Ubuntu, Kubuntu and even Fedora. It just goes to a black screen. I tried to configure the xorg.conf file, but it's blank. >.< Whenever I try to run the configure xorg command, it says that the server is already active. If I try to stop gdm or xorg it will just show a black screen.BTW I only have a few weeks of linux experience so explain everything clearly.The video card works fine, as my friends rig booted into xp fine with no problems whatsoever.

View 6 Replies View Relatedwhere to customize the modules thing? I've always used Ubuntu and there was an asoundconf file where I could change these settings.Haven't been able to find the same sort of thing on Fedora. A lot of people say I should either edit the /etc/modprobe.conf file which is now deprecated and does not exist on my computer, or edit some alsa file under /etc/modprobe.d/ which i don't have either.I've installed all of the alsa packages through yum.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Fedora 14 x86_64 (KDE 4.5.5) OS on my home desktop. I tried installing KVM (default virtual machine available in the anaconda installer). I find the performance of virtual machine too slow. For instance - installation of windows XP 32 bit took around 4 hours to complete and booting windows xp takes somewhere around 3 minutes. PCBSD installation took around 14 hours and booting PCBSD is taking around 5 minutes. The base operating system i.e.Fedora is blazingly fast. After spending some time in google search , I found few posts saying such sluggishness could be due to not enabling virtualization option in BIOS.

I have a Apache web server and a separate tomcat 5 server. I can run the jsp-exaples just fine using HTTP. However using HTTPS fails. For some reason it appears HTTPS is not forwarding to the connector, I get 404 not found, returned.If I simply try https://apache_server_ip I successfully connect to the default Apache page.According to this page it should just work. Apache should do the ssl encryption/decryption and tomcat operate as normal.

View 3 Replies View RelatedLong time reader, first time poster to the forums. I have installed Fedora 12 onto a desktop here. Fresh install and fully updated as of today. In this system there is a radeon 7000 graphics card that Fedora set up dual display for me. This is working fine but unfortunately im seeing a problem with the top and bottom of one of the displays.
Please see the problem here: [URL]... The mouse will go underneath or above the areas i have pointed to. Any ideas what is wrong? In fedora 9, 10, 11 this was all working fine but i did have to use xrandr manually to get dual display working. Edit: Update:
I dd not mention that i kept my home directory. On futher inspection it seems that the issue is because of a .folder in my home directory that was backed up and restored on the fresh install. To check this i added a new user to the system and logged in with a fresh home directory. Does anyone know which folder or file this setting this is stored? I tried logging out, moving .gconf .gconfd .gnome2 .gnome2_private and the .gtk folders to another location then logged in to no avail.
It all works if I boot my self compiled vanilla 2.6.35-rc3 though. The environment
Sony vaio VGN-SR21M 4GBRAM P8400, ATI HD3400 mobility. I use

If I suspend my notebook it starts the usual slow orange blinking indicating the suspend mode got reached. There is also evidence in the various log files that this works. If I try to resume it hangs a for 3 seconds and then I get the hdd-password screen from my bios and the notebook boots from zero. I couldn't find anything in /var/log/messages nor dmesg. If I first boot to windows (grub 2nd partition) and then restart and boot to linux, all the suspend works fine
