OpenSUSE Hardware :: Upgrade Legacy VGA With (less) Legacy VGA?

Jan 2, 2011

I have an ATI Radeon 9200 AGP card. I plan to upgrade it mainly because the 2D performance in KDE (3.x without Beryl or Compiz) is just bad. Since we are talking about a relatively old desktop, I do not want to completely upgrade it. So, I want to just upgrade the VGA card. I have found the following cards: Nvidia GeForce 6200

Radeon HD 2400 Pro
Radeon X1600 Pro Avivo Edition

Now, the simple question: Their prices are just OK (just a couple of � separate them). Which chip is better? And which chip is better supported from our beloved distro?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Ati Driver For Legacy Card On 11.3?

Sep 22, 2010

I have an old Radeon 9250, reported as RV280 in hardware info, the current driver is radeon but the performance looks very suspicious to me.

In browsers, for example, simply scrolling down a page shoots CPU to 100%.

It could be the browser issue but at this point I tend to think that I need the proprietary Ati driver, the problem is that my card is "legacy" and simply installing their driver from their repo won't work for 11.3.

So, what are my options here?

Is Radeon driver tweakable in any way?

If fglrx is the better solution - what are the general steps to install an older driver? There's so much to read on it and I can't figure out what is applicable to my case and what isn't.

Maybe I should just revert to 11.2?

I tried checking Opera forums, it doesn't seem like a browser issue and it works just fine on 11.3 with a different graphic card anyway. I wouldn't mention it at all but older versions of Opera, below 10.11, comparing to 10.61 in repos or 10.62 on their site, work extremely fast without any lag, or any latest improvements, for that matter. Chrome appears faster but CPU still shoots up to 100% on page scroll.

Or should I just buy a new card? They are not very expensive but then my motherboard might support only what is now "legacy". It's AGP, not PCI express or whatever it's called now. In that case, should I go for nVidia or Ati? I've got AMD processor, if it matters.

OpenSUSE Install :: Boot Through Grub Legacy?

Apr 29, 2011

I have successfully dual booted Opensuse and Windows7 successfully, but I have to load it from the CD choosing the boot from hard drive option.

If I do not have the Opensuse CD inserted it goes to Grub Legacy and gives me the option to boot from Arch Linux, or Windows. There is no option for Opensuse and when i hit the Archl Linux option I get errors and it brings me to the /rmfa (I think) command line. Selecting Windows lets me boot to into Windows successfully.

I checked the /boot/grub/menu.list in Opensuse and everything seems to be fine, but these options do not appear on my boot loader.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Escape ATI Legacy Drivers Nightmares Thread?

Nov 16, 2010

I went through really a lot of Linux systems, and I think I am going to settle on Opensuse OS. I must say Opensuse 11.3 is fantastic! However I have this lousy in the top 5 of evil graphic cards list ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 card. This version of Opensuse seems to best realize what creature it is and gives the biggest description of it in the hardware information from all Linux distros I have tried. Unfortunately I have a big trouble to install proprietary drivers. I downloaded the recommended drives from amd-ati homepage but on debian and ubuntu installing via terminal simply reports an error while Opensuse doens;t even try to run the ati run file of drivers.

Could somebody please assist me and give recommendations what to do in order to install proprietary legacy drivers? Keep in mind I am a complete newbie. The only thing I am good at with terminal is copy/paste. I learned how to add repos to the yeast and successfully added amd ati repo to the lsit, but it still doens;t seem to give anything suitable in my case.

I do believe it would be a valuable source for people looking for steps instruction related to legacy drivers so lets consider this something like How To Escape ATI Legacy Drivers Nightmares thread.

OpenSUSE Install :: Acpi Better / Card Went To Legacy What Version Still Has Ati Drivers For Card

Dec 6, 2009

i have a little experience with ubuntu but i have had bugs that are not resolvable at this time in ubuntu. so instead of giving wild bill back my pc i am looking for a new distro. my concerns with ubuntu revolve around acpi. no fan control and high temp. the 2nd problem that is almost overlookable is the ata1 softreset error. it usually is no problem but occasionally have to do manual fsck to fix. so heres my laptop specs. toshiba a305d-s6848. amd turion x2 ati x1250 integrated. 3gb ram. 500gb hd vista and ubuntu 9.04 dual boot grub with 100gb ubuntu and the rest vista. so q1= what suse version would be best?

q2= is suse's acpi better? ubuntu runs all features but fan control
q3= is suse as easy to install? or harder
q4= ati graphics i know for my card went to legacy what version still has the ati drivers for my card
q5= is suse easier or harder to work with and get everything working.

i know no linux is or opsys is perfect. im just looking for one that is stable and works the pc correctly. i know its a big thing to ask. i know no one can tell me that. but just looking for suggestions. im thinking of downloading suse and does all the downloads support live sessions.

Ubuntu :: 9.10 And 10.10 Legacy Hardware?

Apr 21, 2011

Legacy Hardware I have a chunk of hardware I bought in 2005 that came with Windoze verzhun Whatever. Very soon after buying it I decided to discard the trash that came with it, and installed Mandrake. I lived with Mandrake for a while until I decided to install Debian. Debian lasted me very well, until Lenny became Squeeze.All of a sudden, my hardware was slow. I couldn't keep up. Lenny had seen my applications crash more and more often, but Squeeze just couldn't keep me in the race. I chose to go to Ubuntu.

With my hardware, Ubuntu 10.10 just would not see my disks. Ubuntu 9.10 could not install grub. I tried everything - take a look at a google forum that I didn't look at, if you can.Ubuntu 8.04 loads and runs without any special work. I suggest that Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.10 have special hardware requirements.

Ubuntu :: Grub2 Took Over Grub Legacy?

Jul 17, 2010

I had Arch Linux installed on my machine on sda1 and the Grub legacy that came on their install image on the MBA at sda/. I just did a Ubuntu update and it wanted me to do an update and me thinking grub-install referred to grub legacy, went along with it but now I have Grub2 for my boot menu. There are a few guides on restoring Grub2 I've found but how do I put Grub back on to how I had it? (I thought installing grub legacy from Arch's usb image I have would be simple and fairly automated/easy but it won't let me without doing the previous steps of partitioning drives and selecting packages to install and such so it looks like I'm going to have to do it manually which I haven't done before).

Debian Hardware :: No 3D Rendering With AMD Catalyst Legacy 13.1

Jul 27, 2014

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.

Fedora :: F11 To F12 Doesn't Seem To Like Legacy Nvidia Cards?

Nov 18, 2009

Greets all and congrats on the developers on bringing us another great version of Fedora. My box has an Nvidia GForce4 MMX 440 SE 64MB SDRam. I downloaded and updated from F11 to F12 last night. Before I went to bed It booted to a blank screen, GDM didn't want to start. I decided to investigate in the morning and went to bed. The first problem I found was that the F11 Legacy Nvidia Drivers were causing a problem, so I had to remove those. I also did an update with yum to get everything 100% updated. Then rebooted, more problems. GDM did NOT want to start for anything. More investigating found that the culprit was this nouveau kernel mod. Well, I had the xorg nouveau driver installed and I thought that this might be one in the same so I removed the xorg one with no avail, the nouveau kernal mod still loading. Seems that they are different and one is used for the xorg server and the other is used for the framebuffer console. I had to pass nouveau.modset=0 to the kernel at boot time to rid myself of the framebuffer. GDM starts now and I have resinstalled the xorg Nvidia nouveau driver though I have not tested it as of yet. Is there a better way at disabling the framebuffer boot up then by passing things to the kernel?

Edit: I take all that back. Upon further tinkering, reading, and investigation. The problem seems to be two fold: 1) The legacy nvidia drivers pissed and moaned about permission so I removed them. 2). This one I over looked and was causing me most of my grief. I didn't change the xorg.conf video driver from nv to nouveau. I did this and it works fine now. It seems that the "Linva-config-display" And I am sorry that I do not know exactly what this is at the moment. But this would automatically change the video driver from nvidia to nv if I manually changed it in the xorg.conf file after I removed the nvidia drivers. So I ASSUMED(my big mistake) that it would automatically see the nouveau driver and replace the nv with that. I was very wrong. After I added it manually, I rebooted and it runs fine now.

I suspect that this problem with video related to Legacy Bios Rom option. I however don't understand why it influences Linux, because it has good video driver. It was checked with another bootloader. what role is played by Legacy Bios Rom option.

Fedora :: Add Btrfs Part To GRUB Legacy?

Jul 28, 2011

I'm currently running the XFCE Spin of Fedora 15 (Xedora, as I like to call it (; ) on 64 bit, so sometimes I need a 32 bit environment to try stuff out.

I recently installed Linux Mint on a partition formatted to btrfs, and this is where my problems start, as I have no idea how to add this installation to my existing GRUB configuration. The grub.cfg on the Mint partition looks like this (GRUB2 btw.):

Code:
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE

# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

Ubuntu Installation :: GRUB Legacy Not Showing New OS (10.10)

Dec 18, 2010

My laptop came with Vista and I added Linux Mint 6 (based on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex) all is good for a year or so. Added Ubuntu 10.10 to my desktop, loved it, wanted to add it to my laptop...oops.

Installed the main version from a LiveCD, did the the easy multi-OS installation.

GRUB-0.97 is what boots my system though looking at boot script I do have GRUB2 somewhere.

Currently, my boot options are:

1. Mint 6

2. Mint 6 (recovered)

3. Mint 6

4. Mint 6 (recovered)

5. memtest 86+

Other operating systems

6. Vista/Longhorn loader

7. Vista/Longhorn loader

Sda7 is where Ubuntu should be installed. GPARTED says its ext3 file system and bootscript says ext4.

I did find the forum post on purging and installing GRUB2 though I'm not sure if that's what I need to do, or try to reinstall Ubuntu w/o also doing partition resizing at the same time.

The output from my bootscript:

Code:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================
=> Grub 0.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in partition #5 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst.

Ubuntu Installation :: Configuration For 10.10 At Legacy Partition

Feb 2, 2011

I used to have dual boot of Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04 which encounters some severe problems working extremely slow.... Last night I tried install Ubuntu 10.10 with live CD into the existing partition of the previous 10.04. But the 'GRUB Loading Stage 1.5, error 15' appeared. With the help from the following link, still couldn't fix it. [URL] Unfortunately, I can not get into either of the OS afterwards..... Now I am trying to reinstall again step by step. Anyhow, I am quite a beginner at non-windows OS, could guess the meaning of each command line rather than understand them well.

1. I deleted the partition /dev/sda8 and added it again in ext4 format with choosing 'Format the partition'
2. Should I set the 'Mount Point' with any options? "/", "/boot", "/home" or any others?
3. How shall I set Boot loader -> Device for boot loader installation:

/dev/sda8 or
/dev/sda ATA Hitachi HTS54323 (320.1 GB)

Ubuntu :: Booting Later Distros With GRUB Legacy?

May 17, 2011

It's a little silly to ask this, as I am about to try it anyway, but is it theoretically possible to use a GRUB Legacy USB boot cd to boot a distro beyond 9.04? Or do I need to get to reading about GRUB 2?EDIT: As the USB Boot CD needs to be created from the GRUB files existing inside the Distro that it is intended to boot, this is impossible. Question answered.DIT EDIT: Unless I revert to GRUB legacy inside the Distro itself. Ok. Neat. I guess I just needed a place to write it down to figure it out

Software :: Can't Boot Ubuntu 10.04 With Legacy Grub

Jun 30, 2010

I've Win XP installed on sda1 initially. Then I installed Centos on sdb (boot partition on sdb1 and root on sdb2). I chose to install grub to MBR of sda. The Centos installation automatically created an entry in the menu.lst file and I can successfully boot either into XP or Centos.

Now I went ahead and installed Ubuntu 10.04 to sdb4. Both Centos and Ubuntu are sharing the swap partition at sdb3. When I was installing Ubuntu, I chose not to install grub because I wanted the grub already installed to boot all three. After Ubuntu was installed, I logged into Centos and added the following entry in its menu.lst [so I modified (sdb1)/boot/grub/menu.lst ]

Code:
title Ubuntu 10.04
root (hd1,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic ro root=/dev/sdb4 splash quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-21-generic

Red Hat / Fedora :: Can't Start X - Extreme Legacy System

Dec 12, 2010

I had a coworker (now former coworker) set up a machine for me about 6 years ago so I could run a web server from my house. He put on Fedora Core (release 1 kernel 4.4.22-1.2115 on i686), MySQL, PHP, and Coppermine - which I use to run the web site. I have done pretty much NOTHING to this machine except upload images via my Windows computers since it was created.

I do know I have logged into a nice pretty interface once or twice when I had to configure the DNS when I switched my home network setup (changed sub domains etc...) Yesterday I was logged in and in a misguided attempt to get VNC and Samba working and upon reboot I managed to screw it up so that I no longer have any interface outside of the plain on text screens I would see if I connected via Putty (or some other means like that).

As you've figured out, I'm so far from knowing anything about Linux that I'm pretty much dead in the water here. I do know that my services are all still working (the web site is still serving up pages) and I can connect just fine, but any attempt to StartX results in: /usr/X11R6/bin/X: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required by /usr/X11R6/bin/X)

And I have no idea what to do about it. I did download and (attempt) to install XFree86 at some point (installation instructions for VNC seemed to indicate this was a necessary step) and don't even have anything on my machine related to that version of GLIBC (the problem maybe?). Anyway, I'm frustrated, and beginning to think I'm screwed, and I suspect that there's no "UNDO" button for this mess

Debian :: Advisability Of Using A Legacy MBR When The Installer Chooses GPT?

May 9, 2011

We installed Debain 6.0 (Squeeze) on a Seagate ST2000DL003 (2 TB SATA HDD) and the installer choose GPT for us. Only came to light when we tried to run fdisk and got "WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted". parted was not installed by default (!). Investigating further we found dd cannot be used to back up and restore GPT; for that you need gptfdisk (a.k.a. gdisk) which is still in beta and does not have a 64-bit .deb.

Clearly GPT is the future but I am not convinced it is mature yet (Bug#599437) and the online knowledgebase is not yet extensive. Taking all this into account, I am considering changing to a traditional MBR and included partition table. [Note on terminology: when using a GPT, the MBR is considered distinct from the partition table; when using a legacy partition table, the partition table is commonly considered part of the MBR]

Would this be wise? If the good people at Debian have programmed the installer to use GPT for this HDD, despite GPT's youth, they must have had their reasons. The most informative Debian documentation found is the Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide, 6.3.3. Partitioning and Mount Point Selection which says "... Defaults may vary as well. The type of partition table used by default can for example be different for large capacity hard disks than for smaller hard disks. Some options can only be changed when installing at medium or low debconf priority; at higher priorities sensible defaults will be used".

Debian Installation :: Can I Uninstall GRUB-2 And Install Legacy

Apr 5, 2011

I am new to Debian. I have installed Debian on sda1, grub installed in /dev/sda . /dev/sda6 is SalixOs.

My fdisk -l report is this code...

I boot from sda, Debian recognised windows Xp installed on sdb1, but when I choose to boot from it, it simply reboots.

What could be the reason ? I am a newbie, please be patient with me.

I have solve the problem by installing EasyBCD in WinXp and added the Linux entries to it and booting from sdb.(changed in BIOS)

So, is it possible to uninstall GRUB-2 and install GRUB-Legacy ? Would it work on Debian-Squeeze ?

Debian :: Server Type Install On Legacy System?

Can someone give me some pointers where to start at? I've never done a Debian install - the install process may address these questions - but figured I would throw it out here. I've used Ubuntu for several years now but I doubt that it would be the best distro for a legacy system....

Debian Hardware :: When The Nvidia Legacy Drivers Are Going Into Squeeze

Feb 13, 2010

Does anyone know when or if the nvidia legacy drivers are going into Squeeze? I tried the ones in the Sid repos but ran into unresolvable dependencies. Lots of people were telling me that testing works just fine so I've been trying it out, but to be honest I've run into quite a few problems of this nature. I admit that I'm running a real Rube Goldberg mix of older and newer hardware on this box, but I wouldn't think it would be this much of a problem.
