Video Problem/System Speed

#21 Post by tlchost »

I've had problems with video distortion and system freezes with virtaully all of the recent Raring releases.

I believe the problem is that the kernel does not have the driver that supports my video chip. Slacko works fine and reports the card as

[/code]VGA controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:0162] (rev 09)

Code: Select all


Raring reports the card as
VGA controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0162] (rev 09)

Code: Select all


Puppy Sysinfo attached

Thanks in advance

Thom

jim1911. Shinobars virtualbox does not seem to be compatible with 3.9.9 kernel. I downloaded Virtuabox from official site and the kernel modules compiled ok. So my kernel headers or kernel source is not defective. I think it would need Shinobar`s input to check what is wrong with the adapted scripts inside that Virtualbox sfs.

I assume you used quickpet for installation. Correct me if I am wrong. I had to ready between lines :wink:

virtualbox-4.2.2-raring_k3.9.9.sfs has been uploaded to the repo. Not to the quickpet. Use first page link to find the repo url.

Someone who really uses virtualbox, could test my upload.

Cheers.

Tlchost. You should create system reports which have xorg log and dmesg log. You could use for example Pup-Sysinfo. I thing that the problem lies with xorg drivers. There have been several kernels between Raring Puppy - Upup Raring development, the problem stays and xorg drivers have been same.

tlchost or other with troublesome intel graphics versions.
I compiled from source latest intel xorg driver.

http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_pack ... raring.pet

Restart X...or better....reboot after installation.

There have been several bug reports from Intel [8086:0162] in the raring and also in the other distro bug pages. One solution has been to update the driver. I dont know the right configure options so I compiled with the default ones. It might need tuning in that.

Anyway feedback would be highly appreciated.

My newest desktop has intel graphics and it didn't work worth beans, installed your pet and it's working fine now.

Great. and thank you of the quick feedback. I believe that the problem lies with intel sandy bridge architecture and with the ubuntu raring xorg intel driver compile choices.

I am pretty sure you both have new enough comps to have sandy bridge architecture under the hood.

Now...it would be important that the default compile time configuration choices work with older intel graphics. new sandy bridge has brought sna acceleration as default and it should be downgrade compatible.

Hi pemasu,

Since the inception of the 3.5 (and greater) kernel in Upup Precise and Upup Raring, my Intel i5 Sandybridge PC would not boot to the standard JWM desktop, but worked great when booting to an Openbox desktop.

With your intel-2.21.12-raring.pet, my Sandybridge PC now enjoys booting to JWM in Upup Raring.

Thanks!

3.9.9

Upup-Raring-3.9.9

I must say... you have one dandy program here!!!

Every app that I use and installed works OOTB and setup without issue including my HP 1050 all-in-one printer/scanner.

Only issue found was in Quickpet... I tried to install the Google Earth from there... it installed fine but on run, it informed me that I needed to upgrade my graphics card so I installed Google_Earth-6.0.3.2197-luki.sfs (from .sfs on the fly) and it works very well. Might be a newer version in Quickpet why it wouldn't work???

Anyway... all is working great with no problems and it was really a pleasure testing this build!

One thing I might add... you sure do have WiFi down pat! I haven't had a drop with it since way way back in your early builds, from Exprimo up, it's been just great.

Very nice job... you'll have a hard-roll topping this one :wink: enjoy your summer fun.

Opps... almost forgot the screen-shot.

tlchost. Skype + packaged Ubuntu Qt, which Skype needs, are found from Quickpet.

Sszindian. I willl check GoogleEarth at some time. I think I tested it and it worked for me, but...it was previous Upup Raring build. Something could have changed.

Just saying thanks. I'd gotten used to Barry's Buntu but this might be better!

The Firefox pet and all dependencies worked perfectly. :wink:

Don't you know... I put it on my little site, Linux without Eyes. :x

dennis-slacko531, thanks. And thank you all the others of the feedback.

First time I tested virtual machine. Virtualbox which I uploaded to the repo with preinstalled kernel module drivers, at least load my burned CD and Upup Raring 3.9.9 works in virtual environment. Cant say anything else, because I dont have previous preference.
There is no need for kernel source sfs....or devx sfs with this version of Virtualbox.

I have reuploaded 3.9.9 version. It has updated xorg intel driver and Quickpet has been uploaded so that proprietary drivers show in Drivers tab. Quickpet icon has been repositioned in Pinboard.

/usr/sbin/bootmanager gui resizing for aarf is more or less woof update task for 1024x600 screen.

Script experts could help here.

SFR. Not bad at all. Text truncating should be fixed with those separated tabs.
This should be presented for Barry K so that it would be in woof.
Thanks.

Upup Raring 3.9.9 with non-PAE 3.9.9 kernel.

#37 Post by Billtoo »

I downloaded the newest 399 iso and did a manual frugal install to an
8gb SDHC card, it's running on an Acer desktop pc.

video-info-glx 1.5.3 Tue 16 Jul 2013 on Upup Raring 3.9.9
Linux 3.9.9-upup i686
2.0 VGA compatible controller:
Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller(rev18)
oem: Intel(R)Ironlake Desktop Graphics Chipset Accelerated VGA BIOS
product:
Intel(R)Ironlake Desktop Graphics Controller Hardware Version 0.0

X Server: Xorg Driver: intel
X.Org version: 1.13.3
dimensions: 3840x1080 pixels (1013x285 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes

direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ironlake Desktop x86/MMX/SSE2

It's working fine with the graphics chip in this pc, my newest pc has
the ivy bridge that I tested your pet on last night.
It even supports 2 monitors which is awesome.

nvidia driver for NV44 GeForce 6200

#38 Post by charlie6 »

Hi,
@Pemasu,
thanks for the advice using getnvidia + kernel source; but indeed nvidia 319.27 failed
@ szcab
charlie6 you need NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.xx driver for you video card, recent drivers will not work.
That was it ! :D thanks for the tip !
- downloading latest nvidia-linux-304.88.run archive into /;
- and afterwards doing Menu/exit to prompt,
- and just launching
# getnvidia
started the build of both .pet and .sfs archives → now raring runs nice with nvidia NV44 GeForce 6200.

If there were a place where to upload them, just tell me where !
Thansk again for the help !
Charlie

swrast_dri.so "static" for raring

#39 Post by charlie6 »

Hi Pemasu,
i apologize if i'm looking insisting.
Here (soon ... quite deseperatly :cry: ) being at compiling Mesa with various possible combinations of building configure options, with the hope to get Mesa with TEXTURE working using the software rendering feature.
All this on a common PC without extra graphic card, only the onboard 82845G chip.
Till now, only wheezy-3.5.2.x has it nice working OOTB with ONLY /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so (14MB sized) as mesa stuff (not any shared libllvm nor gallium-pipe stuff).

When trying to compile Mesa with --enable-static, the configure step ends up and reports something like:
«not possible to enable static on dri drivers».
I even tried to compile Mesa-8.0.5 using the Xlib options (no «configure» step; but straight «make linux-x86», wiyhout success).

I also browsed the Mesa mailng-lists without finding relevant stuffs.
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks in advance for any answer.
Charlie

last compile: mesa-9.1.3 (not 9.1.4 to keep closiest to existing mesas stuffs in raring-3.9.9 ...)

1. i used the following configuration file to manage to get only swrast_dri.so:
#./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu --with-gallium-drivers="swrast" --with-dri-drivers="swrast" --disable-gallium-llvm --disable-selinux
2. aftrwds make and make install DESTDIR=/somepath/mesa_9.1.3-swrast-k399-i386
3. created mesa_9.1.3-swrast-k399-i386.pet

Charlie6. I am off the city now couple of days. Posting using my android phone as wifi router. I have only so much batteries. No electricity where I am now, in the island. Candle light, gas Out house, etc...

I cant visit here in murga-forum now much.
I believe that xserver - xorg version combined with xorg driver version has also influence. I have compiled mesa only once, when I tested the compile without libllvm dependency. Then I threw out whole idea, when I noticed that mesa-9.1..4 has stripped out option to compile without libllvm.

I might play with mesa compile as experience later, but not now.

Charlie6. Have you tried the new xorg intel driver which I posted about, or newly reuploaded Upup Raring 3.9.9 which has that new driver incuded.It has helped other people with Sandbridge and IvyBridge architecture. Your graphics presents other end though, lol.
