ATI Radeon drivers problems (both open-source and proprietary)

Hi 2 All!!
I have a problem with my ATI Radeon 9000-series. The open source drivers (xf86-video-ati) don't work very good for me, my monitor's fresh rate isn't "at-top" and the monitor projection is slightly translated to the right (say 8-12 pixels). So I've tried to build the official drivers with ABS, all is gone successfully, except for some worrying warnings, but I thought that it's normal. I have a customized kernel, build through ABS... So, when I've tried to load the fglrx module it says:
# modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/video/fglrx.ko): Cannot allocate memory
Please, help me! My machine is slow, I can't run any OpenGL-accelerated application, even Quake III!!! If you can suggest me how to improve the performance and how to resolve problems with open-source drivers, it also would be very good... Thank you and sorry for my poor English please.

I had some problems with installing ATI drivers recently (could not build fglrx module, not even manually, I had to change some installation script), but with latest driver version (8.11 I think) from ati.amd.com was everything fine (I have Radeon 9600 Pro)
Try to do this (and write here the output)
glxinfo | grep vendor
fglrxinfo
In both cases, it should write something like OpenGL...: ATI... if there will be MESA or DRI, that means that you don't have loaded your fglrx module.
If fglrxinfo output will be something like: no permission for...(should be first or second line of the output), then write this somewhere in your xorg.conf:
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
run:
modprobe -a fglrx - and give here the output. If there will be none, run:
lsmod | grep fglrx - to see wheter fglrx module is really loaded in kernel
if you will have no module, you can install one, type:
cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
sh make.sh
cd ../
sh make_install.sh (as root)
and post any warning or error here at forum, drivers (but not fglrx module) are installed at /usr/share/ati
After installing drivers, you also need to configure your system (notice your system that it's there), commands:
aticonfig --initial (for editing your xorg.conf)
aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv (acceleration support in xorg.conf)
Showing your xorg.conf file here is also good idea, here is mine (sections Device and Screen):

ATI Radeon 2600 PROBLEM: First display wide and second not in mirror mode?

Hi all, I bought a new mac pro with ATI Radeon HD 2600, my problem is this: I have one LCD monitor widescreen 1680x1050 that i use like primary display and one normal CRT television 800x600 that i use like second monior... If i set the "mirror mode" on display the clone reduce automactly my LCD to not wide monitor and i see two black row... Is it possible use the mirror mode in two different monitor? it works only at 1024x768 not 1680x1050 is the video card not enough power? Should be fixed that thing ? Regards
Message was edited by: egariM

You did not understand the true intent of mirror displaying, which adjusts to the lower specifications of the two screens. You would not like to see your CRT display have to accept high bandwith 1680x1050 signal and fry would you ?
Neither is the reduction of the content of a 1680x1050 screen to a 800x600 acceptable, and not only because of the width/height different ratios : text would be pure garbage, except in huge fonts.
So your mac pro adjusted the display to the 800x600 your crt can accept, as my macbook would when connecting to a video projector for presentation, when in mirror mode.
This is obviously the best choice it could have done, you see...
Now, if you want to keep best resolutions in both screen, then you have no other option than to use extended desktop.

Logging with whereabouts using open source and freeware

You can find the html version of this at:
http://www.acelet.com/whitepaper/loggingWithWhereabouts.html
Logging with whereabouts using open source and freeware
The purpose of logging is to find out what had happened when needed. When the
time comes to read log messages, you want to know both the log message and its
whereabouts (class name, method name, file name and line number). So you need
to hard code whereabouts.
But hard coded whereabouts are very difficult to maintain: when you modify your
source code, line number changes; when you copy and paste a line, its class name
and method name change. If whereabouts are wrong, you introduce bugs in your logging
logic and the log messages are useless at the best.
This article shows you an example of using freeware Redress tool to rectify whereabouts
programmatically in your Makefile or Ant build file. So your whereabouts are always
correct for both Java and JSP source file.
Redress tool is part of SuperLogging at http://www.ACElet.com. SuperLogging also
provides an open source wrapper Alog.java, which redirects log method calls to
your favorite logging package. Redress tool can rectify whereabouts information
on all Alog's method calls in your application. So, if you call Alog's log methods,
these calls will be rectified by Redress.
JDK 1.4 introduces a new utility package java.util.logging. The example in this
article is based on JDK logging. Log4J is a cousin of JDK logging. Log4J users
should have no difficulties to modify this example for Log4J. Both JDK logging
and Log4J are excellent logging software for single JVM.
Note: Redress tool rectifies method calls on Alog, not JDK logging. You need to
call Alog instead of JDK logging in your application.
Source code of Alog.java
The following is the source code of Alog's JDK logging version. It serves as an
library file and should be on your CLASSPATH:

You should see log message with correct class name and method name.

Hi;
I found this code and would like to share it with you :
JCoDestination destination = JCoDestinationManager
.getDestination(DESTINATION_NAME2);
JCoFunction function = destination.getRepository().getFunction(
"RFC_FUNCTION_SEARCH");
if (function == null)
throw new RuntimeException("RFC_FUNCTION_SEARCH not found in SAP.");
function.getImportParameterList().setValue("FUNCNAME", "*");
function.getImportParameterList().setValue("GROUPNAME", "*");
try {
function.execute(destination);
JCoTable funcDetailsTable = function.getTableParameterList()
.getTable("FUNCTIONS");
int totalNoFunc = funcDetailsTable.getNumRows();
if (totalNoFunc > 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < totalNoFunc; i++) {
System.out.println("Function Name: "
+ funcDetailsTable.getValue(i));
} catch (AbapException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
return;
System.out.println("RFC_FUNCTION_SEARCH finished");
It is working and retrieving FM.

Help needed regarding some open source and good media streaming server

Hi
I am searching for some open source and java based media streaming server which can facilitate live video streaming. Can anyone please suggest me some good streaming server.
Thank you.

Some observations:
(1) The use of the Configuration.createRootApplicationModule() API is recommended only for console programs, not web applications, but it should work ok as long as your use of the appliation module is completely stateless (which from the code it looks like it is since you release the AM back to the pool on each request.)
(2) You mention "Stateful" mode, but Configuration.createRootApplicationModule() only supports stateless mode, so you are effectively using Stateless mode.
(3) You are passing true as the 2nd argument to Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule() which means you are asking to immediately remove the application module instance from the pool. This will hurt the scalability of your application since each request will need to be served by creating a brand new instance of the application module.
(4) You are explicitly calling disconnect(). This is not necessary.
I would recommend:
(1) Changing your 2nd argument to releaseRootApplicationModule() to false
(2) Remove the explicit call to disconnect()
(3) Given your usage pattern, I'd recommend calling viewobject.setForwardOnly(true) before calling viewobject.executeQuery() and iterating over the results. This will avoid any caching of the fetched view object results. Also ensure you've read section "27.2 Tuning Your View Objects for Best Performance" of the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers guide on the ADF Learning Center at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html for more performance tips
For example, if you are fetching 65 rows, make sure the fetch size of this view object is at least 66 so you can retried all the rows in one DB roundtrip.

27in iMac (late 2009) ATI 4850 drivers problem in Windows 7

This iMac is less than a month old. Windows 7 was working fine until a couple of days ago. While at the Windows 7 desktop the screen pixlated and froze. A tip bubble appeared in the notification bar that said the ATI driver quit but was recovered. The screen went black then restored itself. A moment later the whole thing occurred again. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? Thanks for any help.

BANDING AND DRIVER CRASHING SOLVED:
I bought the following iMac on April 18, 2010 to run Windows 7 and Autodesk REVIT 2011.
27" iMac (Late 2009)
Intel Core i7, quad-core, 2.8GHz
8GB (4x2GB) memory
1TB Hard Drive
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB Display Adapter
Apple Magic Mouse
Apple Wireless Keyboard
Apple BootCamp with Windows 7 Ultimate
Installed OSX, downloaded and installed all updates.
Installed BootCamp 3.1
Installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and had the problem of the black screen during install. This was solved with the fix from apple support (copy latest drivers to a flash drive and continue to install windows). This resulted in apple windows driver 8.681.0.0 and the 16 bit color with banding. Rolled back the driver to 8.661.0.0. The banding issue was solved, but then had intermittent crashing (reset of the driver) in Chrome and REVIT 2011. This driver caused yellow "dots", then lockup and generally would reset. Very disruptive to REVIT.
SOLUTION:
Went to ATI website and downloaded Catalyst 10.4, then manually installed ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850 display driver version 8.723.0.0. This display driver has 32 bit color, does NOT exhibit the color banding and has not had screen flicker, driver resets, or crashing in any programs run so far. I use this computer only for Autodesk REVIT 2011. The ATI HD 4850 is not officially supported by Autodesk, but I am able to run REVIT 2011 with hardware acceleration and anti-aliasing with no problems. So far that has been only for one day, but was not able to go more than a few minutes with the previous drivers.
I have not run any speed benchmarks yet, but compared to my Windows 32 bit XP machine, the performance is much improved.

Software Installation Problems with Media Source and Nomad Explo

Hello Creative Users,
recently I had to reinstall my operating system on the PC. I have an IBM Thinkpad R30 with a Sitecom USB2.0 pccard. I am running WinXP Pro SP2 with all latest updates.
I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with Firmware .20.08 and an update harddri've of 80GB.
As long as I was running the software on my previous installation everything worked fine.
I installed the driver .26.02. This recognized the Jukebox. Musicmatch is able to communicate to the Jukebox and recognizes all files on it.
When I installed Nomad Explorer I got an error ctregserv failed because ctin...dll is not found.
When I tried to install Media Source from the original disk it showed an error after 30% Media Source not found. Install Media Source before continuing.
This is what I received now with all verisons of Media Source and Noamd Explorer incl. .30.0.
Can someone help me as synchronizing with Musicmatch is a pain.
Thanks
Rolf

Hi everyone,
as I saw many questions regarding installation problems with Mediasource or Nomad Explorer
in this forum I will answer my own question right here. I was pointed to the answer by a friend with a similar problem on some other software.
When trying to install the Creative software under WinXP SP2 I happens that the registration does not work. the reason are missing write attributes to the keys for
Creative software. To correct that go to: Start, Run and enter regedit. Hit ok and you are in the registration editor.
Find the Creative location unde HKEYS_SOFTWARE. Click right mouse button and choose
properties.
Check full access for your user as well the system user. click on advanced and mark both all the users you want to install from. Check the lower box below the user window sayin something about roghts being propagetd to lower folders etc. Cklick conform and ok, click confirm on previous screen and close regedit.
Now you should be ok and able to install.
Regards
Rolf

Problems with opening apps and playing videos

This may seem long but I'm only trying to state all the facts so I don't miss anything that someone can help me with
PLEASE HELP ME!!
About a month ago I got a new ipod touch, with the 2.1.1 or whatever software. I haven't upgraded it.
I first spent hours putting music on, then added applications.
Both music and applications worked.
Then I put on a movie and 5 music videos.
The videos/movie all worked but the apps wouldn't open.
I checked online for app upgrades, none available.
I tried deleting the apps from both the ipod and my itunes, then rebought them and replaced them on my ipod. Didn't work.
Music still worked. Then the videos stopped working. No videos/no apps.
Then I tried restoring, all that jazz that these forums recommended. I restored to factory settings, nothing seemed to work until I erased everything (somewhere in settings on the ipod it says you can erase the drive and it takes about an hour) and after that, started over.
Put the music on, worked.
Put the apps on first, they worked.
Put the videos on, they worked.
Didn't turn the ipod off for three weeks in fear that if I had to restart it, nothing would work again.
Tried to add another app AFTER the movies were the last thing I added, and when the app wouldn't work, I deleted it from both the ipod and my itunes.
Then I tried to start the other apps, they work.
PROBLEM is that my movies/videos don't work now! It says "Cannot play this video."
What the ****. I read before something about the mpeg4 format of movies not allowing apps to open up, but this time I tried to add an app and it wouldn't play the movie. I guess a lot of people are having this problem? Anyone have any new suggestions before I have to erase EVERYTHING, AGAIN from my ipod??
Thanks!!

Hi, here's an update I just posted on another thread on the same issue:
Okay, update from my end.
I did a restore of my Touch. When I restored, I had the choice of "set up as new iPod" or restore from my old iPod Touch. When I clicked on my old iPod name, and hit the scroll arrow to the side, it opened and there were 4 options; previous back ups. I chose my iPod name from August 8, 2009 and restored using that.
After the restore, sync, etc., all music videos & apps are reloaded, working, and my software is 3.1.2.
So, I can't say why the apps & videos wouldn't open after working for several months, but as others have suggested, try restore. However, when given the choice to "set up as new iPod" in iTunes or restore to your previous, click on the scroll where your old iPod is listed, see how many you may have in the history, and pick one a couple months back.
Hopefully this will help some of you out there.

Open Source and Java Packages

Ok. I'm creating an open source massively multiplayer role-playing game. A game, basically. Me and my team are trying to figure out what package to make the root. It was suggested that we use "org.fiverings" (Five Rings being the name of the game, for now), but we don't own the fiverings.org domain name. Now, one of our team has argued that if someone else buys that domain name, then we are invading their space, and could get into major legal issues.
So how are we supposed to choose a root package name? Are there any conventions dealing with this? We're doing the project on SourceForge (you can get to the hosted page at <http://fiveringsrpg.sourceforge.net>), and so does that mean that we can extend SourceForge's package (like: net.sourceforge.fiveringsrpg)? Or, because we don't exactly own that domain, are we restricted?
Thanks to any replies on conventions, and thanks to all that check out the game and post something in our non-Dev forum.

for commercial projects it is common to use
com.company.product....
replace com with org/net or stateprefix if u wish.
But you could also start with any other prefix. And you can always change this afterwards (if you use sth like Forte For Java then the IDE can handle this renaming of packages without changing code by hand).
And I dont think, that when u use org.fiverings, that the owners of fiverings.org could put a legal on u.

ATI Radeon HD 3870 Mac&Pc edition and Accelero S1

I just installed the ATI Radeon HD 3870 Mac & Pc edition on my Mac Pro (first edition).
While the fan on the card is not very loud and acceptable I would like to take the fan out and install the Accelero S1 cooler instead ( http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=138&data=7&disc= ).
Has anyone installed one (accelero s1) lately?
Any objections?
Thank you for your input.
Eugene

Just installed this. It's great, quiet. Took about 20 minutes. Take your time and the install is easy. I didn't use the spacer clips as they're not necessary, and a bit hard to install. I ordered the Artic cleaning and prep solutions and I'm glad I did. Good luck.

Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series + open source driver = screen flickers

Hello, this is my first post here. I just finished setting up my first arch installation on my laptop and I'm using Xorg + gnome 3 as user interface.
My laptop has two VGA cards, an integrated intel VGA card and a Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series, so I used vgaswitcheroo to switch to the Mobility Radeon and turned off the intel VGA card.
Now, here's the problem: I want 3d acceleration to play games and such, but the opensource radeon driver is being weird.
Basically, if I use my Mobility Radeon and the opensource driver the lower-center part of the screen flickers when i move windows vertically. It flickers to black in a polygon-like area and the window shadows get all messed up. If i try to start a game that uses 3d acceleration (such as nexuiz) it runs extremely slow (way too slow for this VGA card) and flickers like crazy in the same area and sometimes on the entire screen.
I already tried using the proprietary driver (catalyst) but it doesn't seem to support switchable VGA cards, since it gives me memory segmentation error.
However, if I switch back to the Intel VGA card and use the opensource intel driver, it runs just fine with no flickering and nexuiz runs better (but of course not fast enough since the intel VGA card is crappy)
As you can see here, 3D acceleration seems to be enabled and Xorg doesn't seem to give any major error or warning:

Ati Radeon X1950 problems

Hi everybody,
After using arch linux on my EEE PC for some months, I decided it to also install it on my desktop. I followed the wiki instructions but even from the first boot things started going wrong.
The first problem was a black screen in every boot. This was solved easily by disabling Kernel Mode Setting(added nomodeset in menu.lst).
However, after installing X(and KDE), more issues appeared. When desktop effects are enabled artifacts appear on the screen, mainly when moving windows.
To make matters worse the Xserver constantly crashes(when opening konqueror for example) and sometimes the system just freezes(this happened multiple times when trying to switch from kdm to TTY1). The Xorg.0.log contains pages of unreadable text after a crash.
I would have given up if I wasn't sure that my card can work just fine with the radeon driver. My graphics card used to work almost perfectly in Ubuntu for almost one year so I believe I'm doing something wrong.
The card is ATI X1950 Pro(r570).
Thank you in advance for any help!

I'm using radeon.
It didn't work. I compiled 2.6.32 but if I leave modesetting enabled the system freezes when proccessing UDev events.
Moreover, these entries appear in Xorg.0.log:
(II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported.
(WW) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
(EE) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP failed to intiallize. Disabling the DRI.
glxinfo says I have direct rendering but I can't enable compositing at all using the new kernel.

Remove Login Items to test.
Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab. Remove all items. Restart your Mac to test.
And remove all items from: /Library/StartupItems then restart to test.
Not enough free space on the iMac disk can slow startup time.
Click the Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
If it's not a login/startup items or disk space issue, check the hard disk using Disk Utility.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If Disk Utility reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk and restore OS X.

Problem in opening .ics and .vcs file types through servlet in IE browser.

I'm having problem in downloading an .ics and .vcs file through servlet in I.E browser. It is happening fine in Mozilla firefox(they both are getting opened in OutLook), but in IE it says as undefined file type.
I'm using Content Type as : 'text/Calendar' and then setting header as :
response().setContentType("text/Calendar");
response().setContentLength(file.length());
response().setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;
filename="+filepath);
and after that i'm writing it to OutPut stream.
Plz Help.
