Ubuntu :: Acpi Causes Graphics To Slow Down?
Jan 3, 2010
I have to use acpi=off because my PC is crushing/freezing during installation and 2 mins after boot up. Currently I'm using acpi=ht to enable second CPU.
The problem is that my Intel graphic card is slow and Xorg is taking a lot of CPU.
I'm also not able to enable compiz when disabling acpi. The biggest problem is the MythTV that is so slow in the menu area alone that I'm not watching any TV in it lately.
When I'm not, it's crushing, no CPU spikes, no strange behavior just crushing without any logs.
Ubuntu 8.10 was running well on the box.

Having trouble rebooting a system. Have a Ubuntu 9.10 (2.6.31-16 generic-pae) build on a VMWare installation. The system was fine until I rebooted after an update. Now I get the above message and the system halts loading. Have tried to Grub acpi=off and acpi=force to no avail.

When I run OpenSUSE from the Live CD using normal settings, booting stops with a blank screen a moment after the kernel is loaded. When running it with ACPI disabled, it works, but direct rendering is disabled, even though it detects my video card (Mobility Radeon HD 5650) correctly Here's the Xorg.0.log file: my xorg log - [URL]

I have random X freezes (suddenly keyboard and mouse stop to react). Xorg.O.log is error and warnings free. The only problems I see in syslog/ dmesg are related to ACPI.
I have Asus P5E3 Deluxe motherboard. Slackware 13.1

I ahve also today upgraded my BIOS to 1303 version. Still no difference.

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit on a Dell Optiplex GX240, it has an ATI Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF (from lspci output) and all the graphics run very slow (I'm assuming because OpenGL and hardware acceleration are disabled). I Googled the issue and found several solutions but non of them worked. I tried installing the ATI Catalyst driver but it doesn't recognize the graphics card. I also tried to install the fglrx drivers but when I run fglrxinfo I get a segmentation fault. So the X server is running with the open source (r128) drivers and it's really slow.

I just manually updated my opensuse 11.2 installation. This update included the xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd driver from version 1.3.0_20091026 to 1.3.0_20100216. As a result now all graphics operations are very slow, eg. redrawing a large window takes around 1sec when moving it to another position. With the old driver is was very smooth. Vlc previously worked very well, now it is not possible to watch a video even with a low resolution. I use a Radeon HD 3200 GFX chip which is on the motherboard (Asus) and additionally I have a separate GFX card (Radeon 3870) in the PCI-E slot which I don't use on Linux - just for gaming on Windows.

I am using CentOS 5, I have recently installed it on my Dell LATITUDE laptop but the resolution was 800x600. I've tried to put it on 1680x1050 and it worked out well I guess but the graphics had become very slow. For example I have to wait 5 to 6 seconds to scroll from page to page in a pdf file. Minimizing a window takes also a lot of time. I have a NVIDIA card in my PC.

When I play Bejewelled Blitz on Mozilla firefox or Google Chrome,, it is so painfully slow that it is frustrating, I have all the latest updates from Ubuntu installed including the Adobe flashplayer. Is there some way I can increase the graphics memory allocation?

I have installed Suse Linux 11.2 and I had problem with graphics, when I moved windows there were many lines showing, I have installed an original driver for it and now instead of lines moving windows is very slow. When I try to activate compositing with flip with it gives an error and OpenGL does not work. Only XRender works and windows are faster but scrolling is still slow.

I've upgraded (reinstalled) from Slackware 13.1 to 13.37 on an old iMac and have problems with slow graphics.
lspci says this about the graphics card:
Code:
With Slackware 13.1 I had no KMS enabled and graphics speed was okay. It wasn't very good, but okay for everyday work. Now with 13.37 it's extremely slow. glxgears runs with only around 38 fps, no matter what I do. And every now and then when logging off, I get a black screen and no new kdm-login. But I can ssh into that machine and restart X by issuing 'init 3;init 4'.
KMS is enabled (I've also tried disabling it, but then KDE crashes right after logging in) and it's a fresh installation of 13.37 with a 2.6.37.6 kernel.
What can I do?
I have to admin I don't know this video and X stuff very well and I used to have machines with NVIDIA cards.
If there's anything else than the usual Xorg.0.log needed.
To me the log doesn't look like there's any problem whatsoever:

I've got a matrox m9120 installed at 1280x1024 60hz but its really slow. You see the screen building up in blocks. And that's just in the standard screen. I don't run special software. Any tricks how to improve?

I have a Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 motherboard with integrated graphics that shows up on lspci as an ATI Radeon 2100. I also bought a PCI-Express Nvidia graphics card so I could use the VDPAU feature on Linux (plays H.264 in hardware). The BIOS has three settings about which display to initialize first:
Integrated graphics
PCI graphics
PCI-Express graphics (PEG)
I set the BIOS on PEG, but
I cannot get anything, not even a splash screen or POST messages, to emerge from the PCI-Express graphics card. (I'm using a DVI connector; the card also has an HDMI output.)I cannot get the kernel lspci to see the graphics card; the only VGA controller it acknowledges is the integrated one.Running dmidecode acknowledges the existence of an x16 PCI Express slot, and it says
Current usage: Unknown
There is an additional BIOS setting called "Internal Graphics Mode" which is normally set to "Auto" which means it is supposed to prefer a PCI Express VGA card. I set it to "Disabled" which now means I'm getting no output at all. I will soon be learning how to do a BIOS reset!
Other information: The PCI-E card is a MSI N210-MD512H GeForce 210. This is a fanless card. Although there are no fans to see turning, the heat sink on the PCI-E card is definitely getting hot, so the card is getting some sort of power.It gets all its power from the PCI-E slot; there is no external power connector.The BIOS is an AMI Award BIOS.how can I make the PCI Express graphics card visible to Ubuntu?

I have just installed Ubuntu (9.10) and noted that in order to successfully run the trial off the CD I had to test in "safe graphics" mode. I have an NVIDIA GEforce 6600 GT card - which was discovered by Ubuntu in the first few minutes of the trial and so I activated the recommended driver and continued to test. After a successful trial I installed Ubuntu (dual partition Ubuntu / Windows XP), however, it seems the install didn't activate the required driver (as part of the process) and so I'm unable to get into my newly-installed Ubuntu at all. All I get is a flashing tty screen asking for my username and password - however it's erratic and won't recognise what I type. So - I'm stuck in a catch-22 as there doesn't seems to be a safe graphics mode option via the start (GRUB?) menu list.

I have tested just now if my small compaq 110 will work with ubuntu 10.04.1, it works from the life CD, but it needs the acpi=off to be set.
Whe I install it from that CD, where do I have to set the acpi=off before I reboot? (the ubuntu will not boot otherwise)

I use Ubuntu live and wanted to run the session with ACPI turned off
So at boot-time using F6 I selected ACPI=off
However, pstree -p shows, on line 2,: acpid(1817)
So how do i really turn ACPI off?

I have been trying to enable compiz on my fedora 14, but when i enable the desktop effects the graphics just crashes and fedora freezes. When i type lspci -nnk | grep VGA for the graphics card i get:
I made alot of research on how to get Intel graphics work on Fedora, but couldnt find any solution
Same problem I had with Fedora Core 12 and 13.

I installed Powertop after reading a number of threads of threads about power consumption issues in Lucid. Though it would be good to know what I was doing. But when I run Powertop it tells me "now ACPI power usage estimate available".

I've installed 10.10 on a laptop and everything is working except for suspend. The laptop will go into suspend, but will not wake up. I have to hard reboot to recover. From my research it appears to have something to do with ACPI and I would like to switch to APM. However all the instructions I found for doing this seem to apply to older versions of Ubuntu before the switch to Grub2 so there is no menu.lst file to make changes to. So I'm looking to understand how to switch to APM in 10.10?

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (it's discontinued, I know) in an ASUS laptop. I'd had to turn ACPI off, otherwise, it would not start. I could update the BIOS, to correct this problem, but on this laptop that's not doable. Without ACPI, sound is turned off too (which is a pity). If I update to the latest Ubuntu, will this problem persist?

I've built several computers and installed Ubuntu on each one, and I've never had problems until my latest build. Here are the problems:The computer requires acpi=off to boot, and it won't boot with acpi=ht. I've searched for this, and there's a widely reproduced acpi troubleshooting guide that says that this means that there's something wrong with the acpi tables themselves, but I haven't found any fixes.If I go ahead and use acpi=off, then the computer works fine, but it hangs on shutdown. I've searched for this too, and the consensus seems to be to remove acpi=off from the boot options. This, of course, is not an option for me.

I need to disable acpi services in order to get fglrx working on my toshiba satelite a300.
I've already tried this:Quote:
sudo aticonfig --initial -f
sudo aticonfig --acpi-services=off
But the acpi services still loaded when i booted the computer. How can i really turn them off?

I'm a total Linux newb, and I seem to have got the wrong laptop for that. An L505D-GS6000. Apparently, it's hard to install linux on it unless you do some things (it stops with a bunch of ACPI errors. I found a solution, but I have no idea how to do it.
To summarize:
for L505D GS6000
Install 10.4
Boot with pci=noacpi
Run HexOr's script found here: [URL]
Get wifi drivers from here [URL]
I have 10.4 working on my Toshiba Satellite L505D GS6000, with everything fine, power controls, trackpad, wifi now." How do I boot with pci=noacpi? How do I run a script?

I originally installed Kubuntu 7.10 on an ACER laptop (exact model escapes me at the moment) and subsequently upgraded to 9.10 and then to 10.04. Starting with 9.10, I had problems with the computer suddenly turning off in the middle of doing work. Eventually, I figured out that when this happened, the bottom panel had gotten quite warm so it probably a thermal control measure. Further, I discovered that I could prevent this by setting the power regulator to powersave, which effectively kept frequency scaling at 50% and under which I never had the computer suddenly turn, the only exceptions being when unplugged the computer and replugged it in and it would switch to dynamic power policy thus running at full power.
However, after "upgrading" to 10.04, I can't do anything to restrict frequency scaling. Whether I set the regulator to powersave, ondemand or anything, CPU frequency can go to full capacity until it heats the CPU to the critical trip point, invoking poweroff. Sometimes, this would happen just a few minutes after "acpi -t" reported 40C (is there some way to test the output from acpi, I've seen it report obviously wrong figures such as 0C when the room was considerably above freezing?). While trying to figure out what to do, I discovered the /proc/acpi/thermal directory and subsequently the /sys/dev/... directory.
I would like to know which directory I should focus on and what files in order to establish trip points and direct actions that will force the system to reduce heating so it won't reach critical. It's not like it's particularly compute intensive tasks triggering this. I have had it happen while running nothing more than the windowing system, system monitor, terminal and paging through a file with less. I have looked for documentation online but have not found anything that clearly explains what I need to do. The only parts I understand from what I've found are "[critical]: S5", "[active]", and "[passive]". The "[passive]" line included items like "tc=..." and "device=0x...", but I have no idea whatsoever what any of those settings do and the documents do absolutely nothing to explain them.
1) what file I need to edit, 2) what options I can set in the file, 3) what values those options can take and 4) what effects those values have on ACPI's behavior. Lastly, the default setting HAVE GOT TO BE CHANGED. Having poweroff as the first line of defense against overheating is simply UNACCEPTABLE. What would happen if this occurs during the middle of a system upgrade? I know at least enough to figure what needs to be done, even if I can't figure out how to do it. Many users can't even do that and I don't think they should have to. The installation process should automatically detect what methods of reducing thermal output available (reducing frequency scaling, throttling, fans) and set trip points that invoke them before reaching critical.

I have a Packard Bell Imedia desktop with on-board ATI graphics. I also have a spare Nvidia PCI card. Is there a way I could use the Nvidia to run a second screen, if so how as the Nvidia and fglrx drivers seem to collide in a show stopping way!!I am running Kubuntu Intrepid, but have resorted to Gnome as KDE4 went spectacularly wrong on me.

I haven't been able to use linux for like 6 months I've tried Fedora 14, Debian Testing, Ubuntu 10.04 and now Mint KDE.
Whenever I boot any distro my laptop acts randombly, it gets to GDM and it freezes, or it lets me login and then freezes or works really slow, even through the shell.
The only thing I could figured is to insert acpi=off on the boot commands googling around, and there it boots.
My problem is that it gets overheated, I can't use any porcessor policy and I can't suspend my laptop with that boot line.

I'm trying to get WOL (Wake On Lan -suspend and hibernate don't work either) working in Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 on the above computer for a family member but seem to not be getting anywhere! WOL is enabled correctly I verified that after shutting down in windows XP that the computer came on with WOL. I have tried the following:
Enable wol
Code:
ethtool -s eth0 wol g
The computer shuts-down but won't wake up by WOL packet. Make sure the Ethernet (MAC0) can wake up PC
Code:
echo "MAC0" > /proc/acpi/wakeup
The computer shuts-down but won't wake up by WOL packet
Kernel parameters:
Code:
acpi=off
Code:
apm=power_off acpi=off
Code:
acpi=nopci
With all of the above, the computer doesn't not power down after shut down. The power button light is still on and has to be pressed to turn it off. Here is the strange thing: WOL works after manually tuning it off! I tried inserting apm module but it is not available.

My openSuse install can't boot/login with ACPI enabled. I disabled ACPI and have been using it for a while, but would like to get ACPI working.
When I did the install from the livecd it would hang when loading the kernel. I would see the progress indicator get to 99% and then my computer froze. I disabled ACPI from the options and was able to install.
But I never got any error messages or any other output so I don't know what module was causing the problem when being loaded.
