Installed Beta3 last night. The TVtuner, graphics, pcmcia, usb, firewire, sound all recognized. No errors whatsoever :banana:
I believe it saw the mp3 player too as a usb storage device. Was busy playing around to see if it accessible.
I selected the generic Radeon driver, got me 1280x1024 64bit color, 60Hz. Although black text seems to have some red/blue ghosting (you can see it in the screenshot) so I'm guessing the driver isn't the best. It's also a bit slow to refresh, When I dragged the TV window across the desktop I got artifacts, but it cleared them after a second.
Couldn't get the driver for the 9000 pro off ATI's site to install. First Mandrake told me Kpackage wasn't installed and when I went to find Kpackage on the Linux CD it wasn't there...hmmm. I tried the other software installer and it didn't seem to do anything either.
Ummm, did ya read the Linux Drivers Installation Tips on ATI page ? They stipulate to 'force' the install. Do not use KPackage for it. Drop to a shell, su to root, and use the command they give you. That would work. But i believe MDK uses the latest unstable tree of the X server, so you can install the latest DRI which support the M9.
Weird, the antialiasing, as you stated, is a little off on your screenshot. Wonder what mdk use as a driver, their own ATI driver ? ..:confused:

beakmyn,
Could you post the ouput of "lspci -v" as root in a terminal/shell/console ? You have a 8886 or a 8887 ? Cheers.

Any body try a triple boot?
Ive got win2k right now, want to install mandrake, suse, and on a linux distro, run winxp and freebsd on vmware. Ive dont the dual boot plenty, but not yet a triple. Any thoughts?

breakmyn, thanks a lot, finally some real info.
From this output i still doubt about the sound. There is a weird thing in the adoption of the devices. Please someone enlighten me about :
- Why is the FireWire used is a Texas Inst. Chipset, where the ICH4 Intel southbridge of the mainboard support one firewire ?
-Similary for sound, which is my main concern as i don't own Firewire devices, is the Intel Integrated 5.1 sound chip of the ICH4 used, or as a lot of fabricants of our machines states, is it a ACL201/A Realtek chip, bypassing the sound of the ICH4 similary to the firewire situation ?
breakmyn, you said sound worked ? when ya type /sbin/lsmod as root, does it list an i810 module, or a via8xx one ? sorry pasting /sbin/lsmod ascertaining the sound work will be mint ;) Thanks again.

I don't know what's up with ATI and the whole driver issue; I know that nVidia tries to provide drivers for Linux.

I have no experience with ATI drivers under linux, but if my experience is any indicator, nVidia's drivers aren't so hot in linux. The dell's use them and god knows what trouble they bring.

Just for clarification...I thought mandrake 9 was the latest one out. what's all this talk about beta 3?
laclasse
02-13-2003, 05:26 AM
denkc, it is Mandrake 9.1 Beta 3 i believe.
Yale2006, 64 bit on DX9, but not on linux, XFree86 do not support that yet, will be implemented on 4.3.0 when its released. By the way, i have runned nVIDIA drivers on linux, and they are not a pain, they really perform. The detonator nVIDIA drivers project is now a joint venture, and the drivers for Windows, Linux and FreeBSD are being developped co jointly, and by the same team.
Ati drivers for linux are really performing, but are a little pain to install. Same as nVIDIA drivers for linux, they are closed source.
The good new comes from the latest Xserver which support the latest ATI cards. No more need to install ATI proprietary
drivers, as the DRI project has now full 3D support. Unfortunately, that involve a complete recompile of the X server, a quite long process.
I don't use either Gnome or KDE as i consider them too 'big' and bloated. I run blackbox, fluxbox and openbox Window Managers, not that eye candy but FAST and LIGHT ;) Window Maker is nice too if you are an APPLE / NEXT fan...Make sure to try them as they come default nowadays on majority of distributions.
Here is my old Versa VXi Celeron 700 256 Ram laptop running fluxbox:

breakmyn,
Thanks a lot man. Btw that is mdk ? whoaaa lots lots of modules. I am pretty sure you can half them. I let you know as soon as my 5660 is here.
Effectively, i am happy, cause i810_audio is there and confirms that the sound is effectively the ICH4 Southbridge, 5.1 able with spdif out.
Somenone should correct the www.sagernotebooks.com site that says it is an ACL201 Avance Logic ( Realtek now ) chip ;)
On other grounds, are you using kdm, as KDE display manager ? I should think so, it is very buggy, and i was using it, stand alone, without KDE, and had to bin it cause it was just too buggy ( failed to shut down, failed to restart X etc ... ).
Try installing gdm ( gnome Display manager) xdm ( basic no features X display manager) or a nice unknown one, wdm ( Window Maker Display manager). Once you get deep into them, you will realise they are more or less based on the same code ( xdm ). Let me know how it goes...:banana:

Sager 86 notebook
I have had good luck with my Mandrake 9.1 beta3 install so far. The dual out put of video is not work, the notebook sceen is fine at 1280X1024 but the CRT output is 640X480. (It work fine in WinXP not that it mattters here)
I have had no luck with the ATI 2.5 linux drivers. I get though the .rpm install and run the config but Xwindows screen is all screwed up and then even the screen on the other term sessions are unusable.
laclasse
02-13-2003, 02:48 PM
I have crafted 4 different /etc/X11/XF86Config(-4) files :
-One for single display
-One for Dual Display extended desktop ( Dual screen, Xinerama )
-One for 2 Separate displays ( 2 monitors, running different users and different WM )
-One for TV out.
I can forward them to you, but realise that you first nedd somehow to make your drivers work. Follow the instructions point by point. I know it isn't easy.
One major tip, edit ya XF86Config file manually after using the fglrx_conf app provided, and Comment ( # at the start of the line ) the line stating PCI-BUS-ID blahhh in the Driver part. Save, and startx. To back trace successfull install, use fglrx_gears. If this work ya fine and dandy. Use glxinfo too, and look for a line saying: Direct Rendering enabled: Yes. Or do glxinfo | grep Rendering If NO, ya failed, start again :(
To all make sure that your are not "IN" X, while trying to installl the ATI driver package, that will help. Kill X, stop it, and install in console ;)
On another matter, TV screen are usuallly limited to 640x400, the refresh rate is quite limited too. Apart if ya have one of this new smart TVs, i doubt you will get more. By the way i watch DivX on TV at 640x400 and it is great. Hope that help. Get these drivers working ;)

Thanks. I just let it do a default install. I'll be re-installing once all the bugs are worked out. I figure Beta 4 will be out soon anyway also. I'm no *nix expert I've done a little dabbling as one my clients uses Unix for their data historian so that helps., but I'll probably have questions later.

Well, I finally threw my hands up with gentoo and redhat. It took me all of one lunch break to install Mandrake 9.1 b3 and get everything that I needed to work on my machine working! Even qt designer! YIPPIE! :D
So, as a new Mandrake user, what kinda stuff should I be on the lookout for?

I am in the process of doing the same thing, but I am running into another roadblock with PCMCIA. Did your install detect the PCMCIA controller?

02-14-2003, 04:10 PM
Ididn't have the time to check during lunch dirtboy... I'll check this afternoon. I'm just happy that everything else got detected.
That's funny how both of us jumped ship from gentoo at the same time. Keep us posted dirtboy! :headbang:

I really like gentoo and I might go back afte drivers for wireless have time to mature, or when I can find an Orinoco card for cheap. Seems everything linux+wireless is Orinoco or nothing. I'll use Mandrake for that extra bit of help.

here, sorry for the lenght, this is the output of 'dmesg' command that ya can issue in a shell/terminal of your choice. It will print all the boot log messages, as what get recognised and loaded. If you want to use the ACPI for suspend, battery, lid closing events, you need to patch the kernel source with the latest ACPI patches, and matching your running kernel version.
I will be posting all essential links ( patches, drivers etc... ) this week. :cool:
