Curious about the voodoo display driver

i've had this old k6-2 box sitting around, on an mATX board with SD ram, and a pair of voodoo 2's in it. and i'm curious how well the xf86-video-voodoo driver works, in terms of 3d performance. would be cool to play some old retro games under wine or dos box or something
the package description though says its for voodoo1 or voodoo2......i have a voodoo3 that i recently got my hands on as well that i would prefer to use

There is a 3.rd party i586 fork tho, but I don't know the current status of it.
i know about the i586 thing already, im just asking about those drivers here.
i just got a new phenom x4 setup. so im pondering building a gentoo install in a virtual machine and trying to clone it to a harddrive

The very best thing about the retina display

Do you know what is the best thing about the retina display? the answer is they've solved the issue of the dead and stuck pixels thing you know how because the pixels are very very small so u can't see if it's working or not some day you will walking around holding your new ipad and you don't even know the plenty pixels that are dead and you can't notice them HAHAHA that was a good one LOVE YA APPLE.

I doubt that's the reason Apple spent the money on retina displays, but a good observation.

Is the retina display for the new mac book pro worth the extra cost? I'm buying a new mac book pro but not sure about the retina display.

Adobe CS 5.5 Photoshop error I get the message "display driver stopped responding".

I just purchased and installed Adobe CS 5.5. I launched Photoshop and when I tried to view an image photoshop crashed and I get the message "display driver stopped responding". I couldn't do anything after that. I have HP elitebook laptop, not sure if that makes a difference. Please advise and what I can do to fix the problem.

Go to the HP site and update your graphics driver:
HP Support, Drivers, Contact and Help Forums | HP® Support

With hardware acceleration enabled, and with plenty of tabs open, using the Windows 7 taskbar preview option will almost always crashed the nVidia display driver.

Latest Firefox 4 beta 6.
nVidia GT240 1GB DDR3 with driver version 258.96.
Windows 7 Ultimate.
If I have plenty of tabs opened, in Firefox 4 beta 6 with hardware acceleration enabled, using the Windows 7 Taskbar preview feature (that will show all the tabs Firefox has loaded) will cause the Nvidia display driver to crash. When this happen, the GUI part of Firefox will be unusable and has to be killed via Task Manager.
This doesn't happen if hardware acceleration is disabled.

It is beta software and the older 4.0 b6 version may not work with all display drivers.

PS has given up waiting for an assessment of the graphics display driver?

I replaced my graphics card because it was not supported and some PS CC graphics functionality (smart sharpening, etc) wouldnot operate. I purchased and installed a new Gigabyte AMD HD7770 as per the list of supported cards. The latest drivers have been installed. (Windows 7 64bit)
I am now getting a message "PS has given up waiting for an assessment of the graphics display driver. Enhancements that use the graphics hardware have been disabled. Check the manufacturer's website site for the latest software."
What is happening? Why am I paying for features that I cannot access despite having gone to the expense of purchasing a new card and following the PS CC requirements to the letter?
This is very frustrating and annoying.
Addendum: I am now getting a message that 3D requires a minimium of 512Mb of vRAM. However, my new card is 1 GB......?????????
Can someone provide a solution for this problem please?

The best thing to do is to go into Help > System Info, copy and paste the contents into your reply.
One of us or several should be able to sort it out for you.

Curious about the heat from an iMac?

Hello,
I have an 3.4 Ghz iMac i7 8gb Ram that I just purchased. I never really noticed how hot the fan gets on the top of the machine until I touched around it today, and it literally turned my hand red. I don't want to go by touch alone, so I downloaded iStat Pro. I was wondering what the normal temperatures are for the iMac and how hot that vent really should get.

Ds Store,
I've noticed on my MBP that the fan idles around 2000 RPM as well and moves from there. I am assuming that because they're different machines, they're going to run at different temperatures.
The MBP have a minimum 2000 RPM fan speed because the fans are smaller and the case if more compact, so the airflow has to be naturally higher.
The iMac can have a slower fan speed in comparison because the case is larger, the fans can be larger and more more air at slower rotation speeds, so I'm not going by that at all.
Far as the CPU's, that's a different animal. Intel makes them and they all have heat tolerances ever since they hit the thermal wall, so it makes economic sense to keep the heat down for both desktop and laptop processors instead of seperate production, economies of scale and all that.
The heat issue is why Apple and IBM split over the PowerPC, they couldn't advance the RISC architecture and keep the heat down for laptops.
Why Sony and IBM made the Cell processor as a game console, due to it's heat. And the Xbox took 3 PPC G5 processors. My old Dual G5 was a hot bugger for a desktop, no way was that going into a laptop, I should have seen the writing on the wall for that and sold before the Intel announcement and recooperated the $10,000 I bascially threw away on a soon to be obsolete platform (dam you Apple!)
So the CPU temps one can get a eyeball on what would be the ideal and 100-120ºF at idle is about right. Mine is about 95-100 F at idle because of the fan tweak.
Now the GPU temps are another story, the iMac has a larger GPU and screen than the MBP's, so it's understandable the temps could be a bit high there, as well as the power box being insdie the case, unlike the MBP where it's a brick on the wire.
I recommend the 1000 increase in minimum fan speed to keep the machine a bit cooler than what your "burning the hand" comment, but I basically see your temperatures as being normal for what you have.
Your concerns are like others who expressed the same, it's more in the "personal preference" zone than a actual problem with overheating.
But I wanted to warn you about the expensive hard drive replacement, sometimes the cheap drives Apple sometimes use die within a few years.

Curious about the iOS 5 software that is coming out. If I wait til its release to buy my iPhone 4 will it come with the iOS5 software already on it? or should I go ahead and buy my iPhone 4 and then update the software when the iOS5 is released?

Yea I would have to say wait until the release of IOS 5, because the phone will probably run it a lot smoother. I mean go ahead and buy the Iphone 4 if you are dying to have it, because you can just update it which is no big deal at all, but it would be the smarter thing to wait for the new updates.
And the networ issue as far as I am aware is fixed on the Verizon iPhones, so it really depends on which service you have.
- correct me if i am wrong
Have to disagree here, Apple have not even announced an iphone 5, it is pointless to speculate that we will see one or not see one until Apple actually releases a statement. ios was built and tested on the iphone 4 so there will not be any slowdown or laggyness compared to a phone that has not been released yet.
If we are advising potential apple product buyers then we should not be putting them off buying a iphone 4 on speculations alone. Just because apple have for the last few years released an iphone every june/july does not mean then have to stick to this approach.
Apple have not issued any statement regarding an iphone 5, until this time it does not exist, only in heresay on the internet.
Any one looking to get an iphone 4, to you i would say waiting until ios 5 is released is a personal choice, no matter if you wait or not you will be able to update via itunes. One way or another in the future you will have to do an ios update via itunes whether this is the 5.0 software or 5,2,1.
Please note that Apple are very closed mouthed about new hardware releases and potentially a new iphone could be round the corner, however there is no evidence to suggerst this, i.e Apple have not even mentioned an iphone 5 this year anything you hear towards the contrary is media spin thus far and speculation.
ios 5 was built and tested to work seamlessly on iphone 4, the beta software released to developers is being tested on iphone 4. Please do not listen to people telling you that the iphone 4 will not run this ios as well as a phone that does not exist yet. When iphone 5 launches it will most likely have dual processors and not until its launch will the next gen apps start appearing.

Question about the Cinema Displays

Hi,
Until now, I've used one LCD display as my monitory for everything - two computers, my gaming consoles, etc.
It's getting too old - and I want to replace it. Getting a Cinema display wouldn't be a problem in terms of using the computers on it, but I was curious:
Is there a possible way I can connect either RCA cables or HD / Digital cables to the display?
Either directly into it, or through an adapter, and so on.
Thanks

If you have no special need for a Cinema display specifically, it would be much simpler and possibly cheaper to get a brand like a Dell that has the multiple input ports, particularly the analog type you are interested in connecting. The Cinema displays are really meant to be driven by DVI only, and have no HDCP support for a direct digital video connection.
I could be wrong about some of this; the fact that these adapters exist indicate that some DVI adaptation may be possible, but I'll have to leave the ultimate answer to someone who's tried it.

Still curious about the ideacentre Stick?

Last week, we announced the ideacentre Stick, which is a stick computer that you can plug into any TV display and turn it into a Windows PC with 2GB RAM and enough power to browse the web, create documents, etc.
So, what are some best practices when it comes to stick computing? Well, we have some below, check 'em out:

We had an absolute blast. I don't think I'll ever see a bigger fireworks display. I took a few pictures through our weekend (but not nearly enough to truly show what all we did!)
This was the view from our hotel in Backbay. That water line is where the fireworks were set off.
this is one street over from Newbury st. We were on our way to an improv show and ended up walking all the way to the center of the metro! (not a good idea when the wife was in heels, but we learned our lesson and took the subway whenever the walk was more then 20 minutes)
This was actually shot from the science museum through a window. For reasons.
Waiting for the fireworks. Everyone who had boats were piled up about a quarter mile from the barge. also city lights.
and more city lights (we have a competition at work, this and one other will be my entries!)

Qosmio X300-14N - Is there a way to have the latest display driver?

Hello,
Since the begging this computer has been very sensitive with video drivers, the use of SLI technology implies the use of the last Nvidia driver but our computer has never been officially added to Nvidia laptop releases. More generally, with some video games, I have big performances issues (for example Starcraft II), very high temperatures and sometimes artefacts.
Is there a way to have the latest officials drivers (without having to modify by hand .INF file) and what about temperatures issue ?
Thanks.

Arzul-there is a way to use the latest Nvidia verde notebook driver without you having to modify the inf. yourself.
I posted the full method in the gaming forum under 'Toshiba display drivers and what they dont want you to know'-just follow that but use the latest Nvidia notebook driver and matching modified inf. from Laptopvideo2go instead of the driver i mentioned as i posted that sometime ago.
I have an x300-13w with the hybrid sli set up and i'm using the 258.96 driver with the pre-modified inf. from Laptopvideo2go with no issues-i have the nvidia SLI profile running for Starcraft 2 and its runs great!
However i did purchase a Zelmann laptop cooler to help during the summer and even though my GPU temp gets to 80-90c this is no hotter than when i was using Toshibas outdated driver-i do also regularly use compressed air can on the vents.All this has helped me to have good stable gaming on all the latest games.
I do share your frustration at the fact that our laptop is not included officially in nvidia drivers even though it has a Nvidia chipset not an Intel one-but its all to do with cold,hard business-Toshiba do not want to pay Nvidia to have our 'old' laptop supported in driver releases.
One thing that you should do if you update your display driver-also update to the latest BIOS from Toshiba-this corrected a bug which had prevented screen brightness control from working with gpus in SLI with recent drivers.
You will lose the laptops ability to auto switch to the motherboard gpu when on battery as well as this is a function only built into Toshiba display drivers-but you can do this manually yourself in needs be.
One disappointing thing i noticed with the release notes for the latest Nvidia driver-it states that 258.96 will be the LAST one to support hybrid SLI-i dont know if this means we wont be able to use later drivers even with modded inf.
Anyhow.. good luck and happy gaming!

Re: Satellite A660-12P - can't find the right display driver for Win XP

Hey everyone, i need some help with this one:
I just made a dual boot Win7 (x64)/XP (x86) on my laptop, but i can't find the right display drivers for the video controller VGA compatible on XP.
Does someone know where i can find them?
Many thanks,

Yes, you get this message because you cannot install the nVidia rivers only executing the exe file.
If you want to install such drivers then you have to do this in device manager.
You have to force the notebook to choose the driver
You can do this choosing the advanced installation procedure which helps you to point to the driver files!

Curious about the MMS

I actually prefer pictures through email, but since i will be getting the MMS eventually, i was just curious about how the pictures are seen. I see in examples on apple's website that it appears in the text messaging field and its little. i am assuming you can make the picture bigger and save it as a bigger picture...yes? no?...i realize americans can't answer this but perhaps citizens of other countries that already have it can shed a light on it. silly question i know, but i'm at work and i'm bored

I'm guessing you don't have AT&T?
I removed the iPhone Text Message plan and added the regular 1500 Message plan via AT&T's website and I was only able to send a few text messages before it stopped working. It's funny how AT&T will purposely keep you from sending MMS messages despite the fact that the phone is capable of sending them. I mean it's not as if I'm stealing from them, the plan I have states that I can send MMS messages and yet as soon as they see that I'm trying to use an iPhone to send them they block it?
