Nvidia - Problems with 3D acceleration
by melanie78@gmx.at
Hi all!
I have some troubles with my 3D acceleration of my Nvidia Card GeForce
GTS 250.
My system is fedora 12 x86_64 (Kernel 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64) and I
installed the Nvidia driver (driver version 195.36.15) like described in
the fedoraforum.org via rpmfusion.
Then I installed wine and started WoW. The game starts but I have
massive graphical corruptions (so I cant see a thing on the display) and
my screen flickers every few seconds. I tried to activate Compiz, but I
have nearly the same problems like with WoW: My screen is flickering, my
mouse is very slow and also if I try to move the terminal window, it is
nearly impossible.
So I started to search for the reason.
I installed these nvidia packages:
nvidia-settings-1.0-3.4.fc12.x86_64
akmod-nvidia-195.36.15-1.fc12.x86_64
nvidia-xconfig-1.0-2.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-195.36.15-1.fc12.i686
kmod-nvidia-2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64-195.36.15-1.fc12.2.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-195.36.15-1.fc12.x86_64
glxinfo | grep rendering says "direct rendering: yes"
glxinfo
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTS 250/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 3.2.0 NVIDIA 195.36.15
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.50 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
For me everything looks fine here.
I know glxgears is not a benchmark, but I think I have really very low
frames:
27 frames in 5.8 seconds = 22.000 FPS
132 frames in 5.0 seconds = 26.174 FPS
59 frames in 6.3 seconds = 9.335 FPS
106 frames in 6.2 seconds = 16.969 FPS
45 frames in 5.9 seconds = 7.665 FPS
45 frames in 5.4 seconds = 8.371 FPS
41 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8.120 FPS
My xorg.conf is short:
[root@Melanie X11]# cat xorg.conf
# Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "on"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
I have no idea what the reason is for the bad 3D acceleration. Do you
have any suggestions for me?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Melanie

Preupgrade??
by Beartooth
Since it's late April, with F13 due next month, I presume that
preupgrade must working, or about to start working, no? But I've seen
precious few posts here about it -- and in view of the things ordinary
updates seem to've been breaking lately, I'm a little spooky.
Any word on it?

DVD Authoring

Anyone know of an authoring suite that takes care of all the transcoding
needed if attempting to author from a source file such as an mkv?
Thanks!

Wireless camera under Fedora
by Timothy Murphy
I have a Linksys WVC54GCA camera running under Fedora-12.
This camera can be connected under Ethernet or WiFi.
The theory is that you connect it under Ethernet
and set it up, and it then runs under WiFi.
I find that while it works for one dhcpd lease
(or possibly two leases) it seems always to fail then.
As I want to run it at a remote site (in another country)
this is not much use.
I don't see anything in /var/log/messages to explain this.
The camera does not seem to ask for renewal of its lease.
Assuming that this is something to do with the camera,
I wonder if anyone has advice on a suitable WiFi camera
for this purpose?
I guess I'd prefer a tilt and shift camera,
if such is available for a reasonable sum.
If anyone has experience of running such a camera
under Fedora or CentOS I should very much like to hear
your experience.

Fedora Community Gaming
by Bruno Wolff III
A suggestion was made to have game sessions for the community playing games
available in Fedora. A pilot project has been started and the first
session will be this Friday (or Saturday depending on timezone).
For background you can find the original request at:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-engineering-services/ticket/18
A wiki page for this project is at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_Gaming
The first session will start this Friday at 9pm EDT (0100 UTC Saturday).
We will be playing bzflag and attempting to use Fedora Talk (x2010) as a
social channel, as chatting socially by typing, while playing bzflag seems
hard to do.
bzflag is a pretty light, chaotic game that allows for easy dropping in
and out. The session will last at least 2 hours, but will go longer if
people actually show up and want to keep playing. games1.wolff.to will
be set up as a private server, but you will just be able to connect without
any special password. Before we start playing we will be using the
#fedora-games IRC channel to communicate in case there are problems.
If you think it's likely you'll show up you can add you name in the wiki
so we know how many people to expect.
The week after we will be running a Wesnoth session, using the in game
chat for socializing. That's a much different game and will probably
appeal to a different group of people.
After that, it depends on the response both a of players and people willing
to sponsor games. At least initially we want to try a lot of different
stuff. The first two being at the same time has to do with my schedule.
I would hope that other people run game sessions at different times in
order to be more accessible to other people.

EVGA GTX 295 not working
by BadMagic
Hi all (figured out the problem),
I've had trouble installing Fedora for the last few releases. I don't
have it installed at the moment so I can't offer much help BUT as I'm
certain my prob relates to my EVGA GTX 295 Co-Op Edition graphics card
and these are quite common cards, I'm sure the fix is quite widely known.
Everything installs/boots okay until I get to the bit where I need to
log in. I get the GDM graphical login screen but the mouse and keyboard
seem to stop working. If I change to terminal view (Ctrl Alt F2 for
memory) I can still type DMESG shows problems with the graphics card -
can't remember specifics.
I tried changing the xorg.conf to settings I know worked under other
distros/BSD/Solaris (using xorg) to no avail.
Is this a known problem? Is there a fix? Is there some GRUB switch I can
throw in there that'll work - I tried some to no avail.
My specs are as follows:
ASUS P5Q Deluxe motherboard
4GB Kingston (compatible with mobo) RAM
EVGA GTX 295 co-op edition graphics card
Corsair HX 1000W (more than enough)
That's about all
Regards,

by Jim
Fc12-X86_64/KDE
No sound at all.
Pulseaudio volume is set to 100% , alsamixer is set to 80% and in System
Settings > Multimedia it shows Dummy for devices, no sound using "test"
I have a Ensoniq ens-1371 and it has a driver snd-ens1371 the module is
being loaded at boot time.
See below.
Where is the system-config-soundcard package for Fedora 12.
Sound worked perfect in Fedora 11 , did upgrade to Fedora 12 and no sound.

internet access
by terry
Hello,
When I start the next day, after shutting off the computer, I must
turn on eth0 each time after reboot or start up in AM. Could SE
Linux be doing this or is it something else in some start up script?
everything that I use works okay except for the aforementioned problem.
The computer is hard wired to a Cisco wireless router then to a modem.

Help w. R & texlive install
by Genes MailLists
I'm running F12. I use texlive - however, the fedora version is too
old (2007) and since I coordinate with others in writing papers - all
of who use texlive 2009 - I have compatibility problems. (e.g. no
biblatex, problems with natbib style files etc)
So I installed the upstream 2009 texlive - which works perfectly and
exactly the same as everyone else!
Problem is I also need to install R - it has texlive as a dependency
and doesn't see the already installed texlive - what is the right way to
install R - but without it dragging in any fedora based texlive ?
The only way I could think of was to hand install using rpm all the
packages for R and its dependencies with --force but skipping the
texlive ones - is there a better way ?
thanks
