The graphics card on a openSUSE11.4-32-bit system is a ATI RV530LE [Radeon X1650 PRO] It looks as though xorg sets it up with the RV535 or RV560 chipset if the radeonhd driver is selected Is there a way to ensure the RV530 chipset version is loaded when booting.

Lets say a BIOS interrupt is requested after the O.S is loaded. How is the BIOS code made available? Is it left it RAM even after the O.S boots?

I have 4GB RAM installed on my PC (ASUS P7H55M-BR, Intel i3 530 2,93Ghz). Onboard video has 32 MB (BIOS config).
It should be this way (or maybe not?):Each slot has 1GB of RAM memory: 4 x 1024 MB = 4096 MB.
Now, subtracting the video memory: 4096 MB - 32 MB = 4064 MB.
It's working on Dual Channel.
But when I am booting the system, the BIOS shows only 3920 MB (3,9GB). Linux shows even lower: 3881 MB.
Memory Remap Feature is enabled at the BIOS config.

System time was drifting ahead increasingly for several days time in the end. This is what I did with the clock about 6 hours "in the future":
Quote:
sntp -P no -r pool.ntp.org
hwclock --systohc
i.e. I got the (more or less) exact time from the time server and set the hardware / BIOS timer with this value.I renamed "/etc/adjtime" to beginn with a clean slate. During reboot (shut down phase) I noticed a message saying something like: "hwclock set to system time". I checked in the BIOS and there was a new time about one hour early(!). The boot phase then reset the time again, this time several hours forward (usually two to six hours). This is an iterating process, with a net gain of several hours per boot. It is not always whole hours -- like in a time zone error but it involves also minutes. System is set to UTC as affirmed by the "date" command. What could be the cause of this behaviour of the clock / timer?

Where to look to find out which chipset my video card uses and how much memory it has? I also need to find out which motherboard I have and the BIOS version. I know these are fairly elementary questions, but school starts for me tomorrow and I don't have a lot of time to mess with a lengthy search. I just plan to update my BIOS, and if that doesn't solve my hardware issues I will create an xorg.conf file and force my machine to use a decent setting. I've been having researching this thoroughly and have a firm understanding of what's going on, but I'll be damned if I can't remember these basic commands.

I own a Toshiba Satellite P300-19F laptop equipped with an onboard bluetooth chipset. Under Windows I can use the bluetooth technology flawlessly. Unfortunately, Ubuntu Lucid Linx does not recognize my BT chipset. Is there a way to use the windows driver as ndiswrapper does with wifi drivers?

It looks like my laptop's wireless chipset (Broadcom) has/is dying. It won't work anymore on my Lucid install whereas it was working perfectly. The warrenty is long expired.
lspci brings up nothing about it anymore, it once did.
I booted my laptop into Win7 and it no longer finds it either. The manual slider switch on my HP Pavillion dv6000 is in the on position but the light is yellow.
It will very rarely work on Win7 now.
I can't afford a new laptop just now so it looks like I need an external wireless adaptor. I have (open busses) USB, cardbus/54, and a small firewire port. It does not pcmcia or other busses.
Any particular chipsets to look for or avoid?

Could people with Chipset : Intel i945PM confirm whether they can use 4Gb ram. I came across lot of posts that their sys will not go beyond 3.2Gb even when they use PAE enabled kernel or 64bit OS. I have this chipset and 4Gb ram and does not matter what I use it will not show more than 3.2Gb. I know that lot of 1st gen netbooks used the same chipset.
I read on some forums that it's a chipset limitation, but intel documents do not say this instead they say that it should support up to 4Gb.

Do you guys remember the inability for lucid to boot with some intel graphics cards?

Anyway I used a workaround to get it working on my Toshiba Portege laptop. However from it stemmed slower graphics, no splash, et cetera. That didn't worry me too much. However, I am now at the stage where I am getting arrays of different issues (that don't necessarily relate) and I would like to just have a nice clean install. I have been upgrading since 8.something and I long for freshness. My files are allready off.
Has anyone patched the kernel or anything? I'm purely a newbish end user and have not been following launchpad or anything. I did the workaround the week of the release. any fixes floating around? If not, I'll go back to 9.10.

My computer was working fine yesterday. Last night I opted to load the newest ubuntu os ver 9.1. Now all I see after the initial booting takes place is a blank screen. I have managed to look at the booting up sequence and at the end of the multiple lines of code is the message: 'Invalid RT chipset detected'. I do not know if this is significant or not.

Does anyone know what chipset is used in the HQRP 802.11n PCI mini cards (not express)?
[URL]
I'm looking for a 2 antenna card that does 11N for an older Dell laptop that use mini pci. This is the only one I found, but the chipset is a mystery, and I need to know it before buying it.

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 and I'm trying to get my RNX-ESYN1 with rt3070 chipset to work. I've tried to download and install the newest drivers from ralink's page and when I type "lsusb" in a terminal I get this "Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp." so that means if it's plugged in and should work. In the network manager it shows only my PCI broadcom card, but not my USB stick. When I type in the "iwconfig" command I get the "ra0" but not in the network manager.
ra0 RT2870 Wireless ESSID:"" Nickname:""
Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412 GHz
Link Quality=10/100 Signal level:0 dBm Noise level:-143 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
[Code]...
and still nothing changed, I got it to work once, but I reinstalled my system and can't get it to work again. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. Last time I did it, both of my wifi adapters were showing up in the network manager at once and were working great. I need my Ralink to use with the aircrack which doesn't work with my broadcom.

ATI has a driver listed for Linux x64 for the Radeon x1250 and this is what happens when you run it, I got the same results with Fedora 12 also. Ubuntu runs GREAT on my laptop, but 3D acceleration would be nice, if I can get this driver, I will be set free of Microsoft almost completely. Any ideas? Please do not suggest I buy a new laptop, its a Turon X2 and its powerful enough for me.
[Code]...
SO, its clear that I have no 3d acceleration, my second display is all garbled like the refresh rates isnt being applied properly, and It would seem some lame generic driver is loaded for my GPU, does anyone have any idea if and when or where a proper Hardware driver for the x1250 series will be released?

1. Sometimes when I try to shutdown my computer the display becomes filled with pixels of different colors as shown in the image (The problem is very random so I was not able to take a photo, I tried to recreate the effect using GIMP). Then the display turns off (Analog power saving mode) But my system never turns off.
2. While working on my computer the display sometimes goes kaput and blinks as in the second image. It stops responding completely I am not even able to go to terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F1). Leaving me with no option but to use the reset button. Causing me to loose all the work in progress.
3. Firefox responds very slowly upon closing it takes 5-6 seconds for the window to close.
PS:- KMS is also disabled in my system. Enabling it didn't improve stability. and here is the output of my videocard (lshw)

Now, this works for me for reasons I'm not going to try and pretend to understand. I only know that this works (for now) for me without reverting to the vesa driver as detailed in [URL]... I'm using the intel 855gm chipset on an old dell inspiron 700m laptop (really, I just need to buy a new laptop ). After updating to 10.04, the laptop froze to a blank black screen on boot (after grub). Using Workaround A in the link above got me to some boot code or sometime the Ubuntu splash screen before freezing, so I figured Workaround F was the way to go. Of course I've since then learned that AccelMethod and VideoRam are moot. BUT I made a typo while editing my xorg.conf file, which gave me the "Linux running on low graphics mode" (or whatever it says). I chose to boot anyway, and everything works fine. Videos, 3D graphics, everything I've been able to test so far. If I take out the text in the xorg.conf file that can't be parsed, I'm back to the freezes.

Ok, so let me first start off by saying I'm a linux noob. I feel no shame. I've been working on trying to solve my issue for a few days now and after much research I am still no better off. But I am able to at least narrow down my problem. The long and short of it is that my HDMI audio device is not showing up in Ubuntu 10.4 x64 edition. Let me give a few specs.
Motherboard: ASROCK 785GMH/128
Onboard video: ATI Radeon HD 4200
Onboard audio: VIA VT1708S
OS: Ubuntu 10.4 x64
Alsa drivers: alsa-driver-1.0.23
ATI Drivers: ATI Catalyst 10.6
Running the latest version of ALSA and ATI's proprietary linux drivers. I can see all outputs (including the s/pdif) except the HDMI. From my reading there should be a device listed on a 2nd card called ATI HDA HDMI aplay -l returns the following result:

Just moved from Mandriva 2010.1 to Ubuntu 10.10 and am having problems with the wifi. It connects fine, but tends to grind to a halt every now and then. I always have this problem with Ubuntu... hence me migrating to Mandriva in the past. My card uses the Atheros AR5007G Wifi chipset. So, using ndiswrapper, I installed the windows drivers. Everything seemed to go okay. Yet, after a restart, I'm having the same problem. Which makes me think I'm still using the same old driver. So I added blacklist ath_hal and blacklist ath_pci to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. Restarted. And I'm still having drop-out problems.
ndiswrapper -l

Here is what I have as far as hardware goes:
Compaq Presario V2000
- PROCESSOR: Intel Pentium M 710 -- 1.4 GHz
- RAM 2 GB
- HD 80 GIG
- Duel booting XP Pro with Ultimate Edition 2.8 (I understand this is built from Ubuntu 10.10)
- lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 yields the following:
Code:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
I have followed to the tee this guidance: [URL]
I tried the installing b43 drivers with internet (using ethernet)
I tried installing off the DVD using the no internet option
I even tried installing the STA drivers even though I know the 4318 chipset is not mentioned as a supported chipset.
All of these were loaded/extracted with no errors via terminal following the guidance to the letter. Now here is a problem I have not read that anyone else has run into. (maybe I just missed it). When I go: System > Administration > Additional Drivers the only additional driver that shows up is "Software Modem". I can't for the life of me figure out why the b43 and STA drivers are not showing up to activate. I can install drivers all day long, if I can't activate them, it really does become a moot point.

I want to enable Firewire for my audio interface. I'm using ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit version).
lspci returns that I have a Texas instruments chipset. But when I search the kernal log file with grep, there are no references to this. I've searched for 1394, found nothing. I've read the whole thing and found references to Firewire_core, but looking online, this appears to be something else? I may be wrong, but my device is not recognised anywhere, as far as I can tell.
I have checked in Synaptic that I have the 1394 libraries installed, I do. And checked their dependencies are present.
I know that the device and the mobo are fine, as windows identifies the device with no trouble.
Can anyone tell me, what universe and multiverse means in relation to Synaptic packages, and how to enable these settings?
Also, should I expect my Firewire device to appear in the Places menu when it is recognised? It hasn't as yet, and I don't seem to be able to select for use as an audio interface in Ardour, the linux studio-recording program.
Maybe I've missed it completely, but I think the key problem is thers no reference to 1394 in my Kernel log.
lspci returns
03:0e.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)
and the firewire_core stuff in the kernel.log

I have a Dell Inspiron 9100 that I've been running 10.04 on forever. It has the BCM4309 wireless chipset in it, which worked great. BUT ONLY ON THAT PARTICULAR COPY OF 10.04. When I tried 10.10, Pinguy, Mint, and Fedora I couldn't get the wireless to work again. Finally, that got frustrating, so I reinstalled 10.04 LTS. I don't know if the kernal or the driver changed, but I can no longer get the wireless to work anymore.There's a lot of posts about this particular chipset, and they all seem incomplete. Basically, I am certain that I can get this to work. I just installed Pinguy again, which is 10.10.With the current set-up, my wifi card can see all the networks, but it can't connect. It constantly asks or my password and then connects for a brief second before losing the network again

I regret updating to 11.04. It broke everything during the update. I cannot get the broadcom wireless chipset to work more than 10 seconds, No matter how much research I do here. I have not been able to work within my GDocs for the last three days. Can I restore back to my 10.10 settings? I have an acer laptop.

some time ago I installed 8.10 on my x20 thinkpad. I at the time was trying to get it going on a Netgear WG511 v2 card. I was eventually successful in getting it going with ndiswrapper and all has been happy until...
I decided to give my laptop to an elderly friend for his first computer. He is living in a location where (for a variety of reasons) he is sharing a network connection to the internet with a few people. The protocol there WPA2 TKIP (IIRC) and no matter what the bloody thing won't connect. Here at home I run a different setup so its not a big deal
So, I thought I'd try another card to get it going there. I chose a "Aironet" card (badged a Dell 4800 LT) and tried to install this on 8.10
I expected it would install out of the box, but did not "seem to".
I followed the steps on this page, but still it won't connect to my WiFi at home (which I am using to connect to with this x31 thinkpad)
I am using Network Management Applet 0.70 and this works fine with the Netgear card, even showing all the local networks it finds.
When I plug in the Dell card it blinks the activity light and the status light in seemingly meaningful ways, but nothing seems to connect and I find nothing listed in the Network Applet.
I suspect that the OS is discovering the card as when doing an iwconfig I find two entries that would be that card:
eth1 and wifi0
iwlist scan returns:
which makes me think two interfaces are taking the same hardware...
iwconfig returns idential results for eth1 and wifi0

We have a PC in the office to which I have been granted to install Ubunto 9.04 on it. It has an intel graphic card Q45/Q43 Express Chipset.
I will proceed with the installation in a 1-3 weeks but I am expecting to have problems related to the graphic card not being seen or not configured ok.
Can you tell me how to configure it and what would its xorg.conf look like ?
Until I do the installation, I can use the Live-CD to test out your suggestions or do queries.

I have a TP T400 and wanted to use a bit of Linux. Installed Ubuntu 10.04 in my notebook using Virtualbox. The problem is that it doesn't recognizes the video chipset, which is a X4500 integrated graphics. After booting I receive an error msg saying that my video is not recognized and asks if I want to fix it. Dunno how to do that, so I cancel. After that I can only use 800x600, wanted widescreen (1440x900). Is there a simple way to fix it? Liked Ubuntu, wanted to use it.
