fglrx drivers: screen flickers
Hello! I have a problem with the Ati fglrx drivers. I have 3d acceleration, but when I go to console mode typing ctrl+alt+f1 and return to graphic mode ctrl+alt+f7, or also when I log out from session to start with another user (so I think it is when is changing resolution), the screen starts flickering. The problem seems to be something related with the refresh, because the screenshot appears well. Somewhere (some forums and rage3d ones) I read something about mtrr problems. Mine seems to be OK: cat /proc/mtrr reg00: base=0x ( 0MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1 reg01: base=0x3ff0 (1023MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1 reg02: base=0xc800 (3200MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=1 typing "dmesg | grep error" there is not output, so it's OK. this is my xorg.conf file: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]" 0 0 InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "extmod" Load "dbe" Load "dri" Load "glx" Load "record" Load "xtrap" Load "freetype" Load "type1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]" Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor" Option "DPMS" "true" HorizSync 54.7 VertRefresh 60 ModeLine "1440x900" 96.2 1440 1504 1536 1760 900 903 906 912 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]" Driver "fglrx" # Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,AUTO" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]" Device "aticonfig-Device[0]" Monitor"aticonfig-Monitor[0]" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1440x900" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection Anyone knows something about this issue? or a good URL to follow this kind of problems, I'm without clues right now. Also, the curious thing is that I installed just for try Suse 10.2, and with "radeon" and "ati" free drivers was working fine, 3d acceleration included. I tried the same with latest Debian, and I was not getting 3D acceleration (but the screen doesn't flick). Typing... LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo I get this error: libGL error: dlopen /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r300_dri.so failed (/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r300_dri.so: undefined symbol: _glapi_add_dispatch) So I'm confused.

Re: wireless card no longer appears after dist-upgrade
I replaced SYSFS with ATTRS but I still get the same problem.
dmesg | grep ipw2200 says
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.1.2kmq
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation

ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2
ipw2200: failed to register network device
ipw2200: probe of :01:0d.0 failed with error -5
I have firmware version 2.4, with kernel 2.6.18-3-686 which I think is correct?

Maybe the problem is related to this (from udev's NEWS.Debian.gz):
udev (0.098-1) experimental; urgency=low
Starting with this release the rules files keys BUS, ID, SYSFS and DRIVER
have been deprecated. While rules using the old syntax will continue to
work, custom rules files using these keys should be updated.
For details please consult /usr/share/doc/udev/RELEASE-NOTES.gz .

It seems that SYSFS is now replaced by ATTRS; maybe your last upgrade
removed the support for the legacy keys.

Re: wireless card no longer appears after dist-upgrade
Hello,
In fact the version of the firmware has no importance with the kernel
version but with the IPW2200 version !
You have the v1.1 of ipw then you must download the latest firmware and
copy all .fw files in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware ( previously delete all
file in this directory )

Re: synaptics mouse driver isn't started automatically while booting
Thank you for the hint. But it doesn't work. Neither with usb-handoff nor without. I don't know whether this notebook has got a faulty usb implementation. So I have to work with my workaround. Maybe the next notebook will work as expected. Thanks again.

Actually one last thing you may want to try (and that I should have mentioned earlier) is looking if you have Legacy USB support set to on in your bios and eventually disabling it. Bye -- mattia :wq!
ThinkPads
Hi, perhaps this subject is worn out, but I have some questions about Thinkpads, the laptops of choice for Linux, for those of you who are familiar with them. It may not all be questions, some is comments to verify. Video acceleration: All I can find is ATI or Intel video chipsets... but I've heard say that ATI (3D acceleration) is a pain to get working. I've had some trouble myself for older cards (mine was Radeon 7200, not supported at all, although it did work at one point on FC5), but do some of the cards work without problems? The Intel ones provide 3D acceleration, but what is the difference in performance between a 128MB nvidia card and an Intel integrated chipset that can share ~200MB of the regular memory? If the Intel chipsets provide decent 3D acceleration, I may as well go with it. Here's what seems to be available for video: Integrated Intel 945GM Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 64MB ATI Mobility Fire GL V5200 256MB ATI Mobility Fire GL V5250 256MB From what I see on thinkwiki.org, none of the three ATI chipsets listed here "just work", but the Intel ones do, without any proprietary drivers. The two Intel ones are supported by the i810 drivers. UltraBay Enhanced: It seems that I can use a CD/DVD drive in this bay or a regular hard drive. So I should be able to get a "Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter" and a hard drive from Newegg and have a second hard drive ready to go. The bay supports hot-swapping; will I be able to remove the hard drive or CD/DVD drive with Debian running? I guess that's all for now, thanks lots.

Xwindows doesn't start on new install
I have installed Debian Etch on a Dell Mobile Precision M50, but xwindows fails to start. I get messages saying: Failed to load module "kbd". Module does not exist Failed to load module "mouse". Module does not exist No devices detected. Fatal Server Error No screens found. Looking around on the internets, I saw something about the problem being that a generic mouse was defined in the ServerLayout section of xorg.conf. I removed this line, but no change. What else is could be the problem? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
