Does anyone know of a similar easy to use interface for over-clocking with ATI cards?
I found this one that works with nvidia but haven't had much luck finding any others:

I've been trying to get my Sound set to 5.1 surround for two weeks now and for some reason Ubuntu only shows Digital Stereo.
ATI Radeon 5770
Ubuntu 64bit
When I go to System > Preferences > Sound the Output tab only gives me the option of Digital Stereo.
Code:
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.
I just installed OpenSUSE 11.2 x86_64 on a new computer with ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card. I have included ati in the update repositories. I saw that x11-video-fglrxG02 and ati-fglrxG02-kmp-desktop are NOT checked, so, I selected both in YAST2, then, OpenSUSE started to download the required files. but, in the middle of downloading, I got a "wrong digest", said that ati-fglrxG02-kmp-desktop has wrong checksum.

My 4770 had basic 3d support out of the box with the open source radeon driver. My 5770 doesn't seem to (basic rendering only with no compositing), although this page suggests it does:

Is there anyone out there who is running a 5770 or knows how I can upgrade to a newer version of the open source driver? I'd rather not use catalyst (Id don't game with ubuntu) and I found the open source driver to be quite nice.
I'm a new Fedora convert. I installed core 13 x86_64 and everything seems to be working fine. The default drivers auto-detected my dual monitors and set up an extended desktop, with the correct resolution. I do not, however, have 3D support, and the proprietary driver from ATI's website will not build. I have the ATI Radeon HD 5770. It says that my distro isn't compatible. Is this true? Do I have no 3D support options.

I recently switch from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 10.04 and then to 10.10. When I had Windows 7 running I was overclocking via manual settings in my BIOS. I am almost positive I had the same overclocking settings in my BIOS when I had 10.04 as well.
For some reason though when I use the same settings with 10.10 it tries to but up, but it just says it will restart in 30 seconds. I have no idea why. I know the overclock is stable as I have been using it for a year or more. This seems to just happen when I got 10.10.
I am looking for an app that behaves like CPU-Z for windows, because I am desperately wanting to overclock my CPU. However, I don't want to do it without a CPU monitor that monitors heat/clockspeed/voltages/etc.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get a stable overclock on my processor and if it's not set to exactly 3.2GHz or 2.66GHz (stock clock) I get this message. Using sysinfo, the OS does not register over 3.2GHz even when I have it clocked @ > 3.2
All the google searches and bug reports seem to talk about sound problems and webcam issues being the cause, but I've had this problem since I switched to Ubuntu and have not yet found a resolution.
I recently purchased a replacement CPU & motherboard and, with a grand after-market CPU heatsink and fan, was able to create a stable overclocked system of 3.8/3.9GHz (from a stock of 3.2GHz).
However, when I run, say, Code: Select alllscpu, Code: Select allcpuid (after installing said package) or Code: Select allless /proc/cpuinfo it only lists the stock speeds of 3.2GHz.
What would be the best way within my operating system to view my current clock speeds?
Is it possible? Its an Acer Aspire One.

I see the initial purple Ubuntu loading screen, but when it goes away I lose video completely and my monitor says it's unplugged.
I tried the grub nomodeset without luck. I am at the desktop in safe mode. If someone can tell me how to edit a file to enable the graphics again, I'd be forever grateful. Sorry if this was answered, but search only gave me help with the Intel 850 graphics problems and not what I was seeking.
Does anyone know how to install the video driver for a ATI HD5770 video card in 10.04? It was working, some recent update screwed it up, now I cannot reinstall it. What do you have to delete in order to fully get rid of the remnants of the old driver?
What packages have to be installed before or after though Synaptic? Are you supposed to install it by downloading the driver from ATI and SHing it? Or are you supposed to go though System->Hardware Drivers?
Can I Overclock my CPU from Linux? In Windows I Can use Sysclock but is there anything in linux that can increase the clock speed of the CPU.
View 2 Replies View RelatedNew machine with an ATI 5770, with a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid, 64-bit). What a mess! As reported elsewhere, the initial install sometimes came up with a black screen, or corrupted displays, different each time. After several retries, I had a display that was corrupted but barely readable. The installed Ubuntu booted, but also had a corrupted display, just barely readable. I was just able to make out the hint that I should use the proprietary drivers, so I booted into safe mode and enabled them. Afterward, the display came up correctly.
This is ok for me, as a long-time Ubuntu user. But it really is like a trip back to the bad-old-days of Linux: you really cannot expect anyone but a geek to get through this. And the is the LTS version of Ubuntu? I use two monitors, to provide a double-wide single desktop. When I log in, the second monitor displays random noise, and is entirely unusable. I have to use System-Preferences-Monitors to switch the second display off, then switch it back on, and then everything works fine.
Last night I was playing around with my system trying to install newer ATI drivers for my ATI HD 5770 on Ubuntu 10.10 x64. In my ignorance I downloaded the latest package from the ATI website and installed them directly over the drivers already running (...which were installed through the restricted software application). This caused a noticeable graphical slow down.
To correct my bad driver install I removed the downloaded package using the uninstall .sh found within ATI's wiki. However, the video performance did not improve. I then also removed the fglrx install through the repository, thinking this would revert me back to open source drivers upon reboot; Similar to how Windows reverts back to the OS driver when all 3rd party drivers have been removed.
However, this did not work as planned. On reboot I was presented with a 'no signal found' error with my monitor after viewing the Ubuntu splash screen (which does still display, oddly). After which I rebooted and attempted attempted a low graphical boot through the recovery menu, with the same result. Returning to the recovery console, I attempted to simply reinstall the fglrx driver

I am at wits end. Is there anyway for a newbie such as myself to recover from this double driver install/purge/etc? If not, is there a way to re-install the Ubuntu O/S files, but leave my installed programs/config files in place? While I know I can boot to a live CD to backup my content and reformat, it does take a very long time to move 500Gb of data between two drives.
how can I check if my graphics card's driver is installed. And if not, how can I install it and where can I download it?

View 4 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...
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.
setup amd64bit created a live DVD of the 11.4 64 bit burn pope inside went to install put selected the second option because putting it on a 60G vertex ocz super fast drive. used the entire drive for ubuntu. have mirror dual monitor installed the proprietary drivers from amd.go to Ubuntu software center type additional drives install and install the proprietary drivers from ati you should be able to figure that out then lauch the ati catalyst control and setup your 1 and 2 monitors so that they are correct.
ok now install Wine ubuntu software thingy tip wine don't do the beta right now im stuck on installing starcraft and mounting the other hard drives will get back to you and make a better guide on this.oh by the way if your Internet isn't connecting automatically you might need to set your IPV4 setting manually this is because you have set your router with DHCP disabled. Code needed for install:
nautilus $HOME
PLAY ON LINUX is working for SC2 Sois crashes though and during install sont font was missing neede to guesse correct button to install.
More useful code
To mount the drive ro (read only):Make a mount point.mount First open a terminal.Then type these commands (assuming the partition is /dev/hdb1):
Code:
sudo mkdir /mnt/music
sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/music -t ntfs
Note: if the partition is not /dev/hdb1 you will need to adjuxt accordingly.To make the mount automatic at boot you need to edit fstab:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
Add this line:
Quote:
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/music ntfs auto,users,ro 0 0
Again, adjust your partition accordingly if needed. Copy and paste the contents of /etc/fstab (in your next post) and type in a terminal "sudo fdisk -l" (w/o quotes) and copy and paste the output.

Now I have never done this "Overclocking" stuff, It seems like it would be of great use. My laptop isn't in any way good in those departments. Thus I want to try and upgrade them, the cheap way.

I'm looking at buying this card and I'm wondering if anyone here has had an issue using this card with Ubuntu(currently on 9.10)
[URL]
Just 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.
I have the ATI Radeon HD 5670. I recently wiped my system, doing a full install (not update) to 10.04 LTS. Everything works fine except for the mouse.
I have about 30 seconds of lag-free mouse movement, and after that, the mouse slows to a crawl. I then have to wait for about a minute and then the mouse becomes usable again. (If i continue to use the mouse, it stays unusable, until i give it a rest)
Current drivers in use are the FGLRX from the Ubuntu restricted drivers.
Does anyone know how to fix it? or what causes it? Let me know what other information you need and I will do my best to provide it.
I just added 2 more hard-drives to the system. Before this I did not have a "swap" space. I also replaced the mouse. The problem seems to have gone away.
From looking at beaucoup posts, it appears I'm SOL trying to use the Linux drivers provided by AMD (See url.terminal command line "sh ./ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_64.run". Since I keep getting an error message saying the file can't be opened either as root or using sudo I guess there's no reason to continue.Anyway, I have my PC displaying on a CRT thru a s-video connection. The screen is overscanned, that is, part of both the left and right sides are not visible. That is why I wanted to load the Radeon drivers & Catalyst Control Center so I could shrink the screen width.Question: Should I keep trying to open the ATI file? SHould I install the Open Source ATI driver? Should I give up and try to find a nVidia AGP 8X card?
