Elite 3D frame buffer boot error.

Hi there,
I have a SUN Ultra 10 with a Elite 3D AFB Graphics card, that I recently tried to install.
Without the Elite 3D card (using the inbuilt PGX24 PCI card) the system boots fine and loads X Windows ok. after I install the Elite 3D card I notice a frame buffer error in the boot process and the system freezes just before loading X windows login.
Any ideas what is causing this? Do I need to install any drivers? I am using Solaris 8 and apparantly it should auto detect and configure the card.
Also please note that I use a Belkin KVM with a SUN Adapter to convert SUN I/O to a standard VGA and PS2 keyboard/Mouse. I have set the DIP switches on the Adapter to simulate 1280 x 1024 res. I don't think the adapter is the cause of the error (as I can see the display while booting etc), but thought I'd mentioned it anyways.
Thank you for your help. Please copy your answer to my [email protected]
Regards,
David

I have no idea about this framebuffer memory issue... but are you trying to use the mdadm hook or the mdamd_udev hook? If you are using the mdadm hook, you should really be using the mdadm_udev hook. The lvm2 hook requires that you have udev in your initramfs anyway, so you might as well use that one. It is apparently faster and more reliable anyway.

Flex with a virtual frame buffer

I have to run an automated version of my flex app on a
headless server so I'm using a virtual frame buffer (Xvfb) running
on Solaris in an oc4j container.
I can get the following command to 'apparently' launch the
app:
String cmd = "/bin/sh DISPLAY=:5 /opt/sfw/bin/firefox "+
url+" -width 1600 -height 1200";
I say apparently because it does not cause any errors. But
when I send messages to the flex app via BlazeDS for it to do it's
thing...they never get there. I know the program works because it
is fine in my localhost development environment, but how do I get
the app to launch with a virtual frame buffer or more generally, on
a headless server?

This is a wild guess based on a small amount of research, but
you might want to check the 'headless-server' compiler option - see

Solaris 8 (x86) Install Problem | No frame buffer console

Hi,
I am trying to install Solaris 8 (10/00) on my AMD K7 system. After I have selected the installation media, it will say something like "No usable keyboard", "No frame buffer console" then the installation will stop. I'm booting from the DCA and ACPI is disabled.
The configuration of my system is as follow:
Thunderbird 1GHz on ASUS A7V
384MB RAM
Adaptec 29160 (Driver downloaded from Adaptec)
Seagate U160 Disks
Plextor UltraPlex CD
MGA 400 Display card
104 keyboard & Logitech mouse.
I have checked the HCL, and they are on the list. Please help. Thanks.
Best regards,
Jason

Hi,
I am now trying to install Solaris to my other machine... and hoping it will work. This is a K6-2 PC with 192MB RAM and 2 x 8GB harddisks.
The first disk is occupied by Trustix and Slackware (Both are Linux), and I have the entire second dirve for Solaris. Then when I boot from DCA, my machine will keep rebooting itself. IF I boot from CD, it will say cannot find drive for installing Solaris. I have used LBA/CHS/Normal mode for my harddisk - none of them work. Any idea?
Please help.
Thanks.

Frame buffer driver?

I am currently trying to port a program to Solaris, which uses the pixrect library. I know that the library is not supported under Solaris 2.x systems. However I downloaded a pixrect library patch that someone has wrote. After installing it and compiling it, everything checked out ok. But when I try to run the test files which came with the patch they wont run. Yes I tried to contact the creator 4 times!! After being ignored I figured I would post it and see if anyone out there has tried it or has any ideas. Here is the problem: within the program it declares a char* fb well then it says �fb=/dev/fb� After trying to execute the program it prints the error: �fb_type 22 is unknown� Almost as if it doesn�t know what fb is. I know that the max min on /dev/fb is 22 0. Also it is symbolically linked. So why this error? I�m running it on an Ultra 5 within both Solaris 2.7 and 2.8. I was told that my frame buffer is a PGX24. I am a newbe to all this, (recent computer science grad) however I have talked with many experienced people and they didn�t have many answers either. Please if anyone has a better clue than I please email me at [email protected] If you need more to go on I will provide anything you need. Thank you!!!

How to get frame-buffer working?

Hi all.
Sorry if this is something simple, but I'm at a loss. I'm try to get an older PC to run some video apps (Mplayer, VLC, Etc.) at a decent speed, with frame-buffer support.
I've booted into Arch using after appending the 'vga=n' command to the kernel. I then ran mplayer without any video options specified, but it ran way too slow in comparison with Xorg. I also specified the 'fbdev2' option, but I couldn't go fullscreen. Is there something I need to do, or is the frame-buffer just slower in general?
The card is a Matrox G200 (8 MB).
In the end, I guess these would be the applicable questions:
- Is the Arch kernel built with 'matroxfb' support by default, and if it is, how do I use it?
- Do I need the 'directfb' package for anything?
- Do I need to build the Matrox drivers myself?
- Do I need to build Mplayer, or VLC, myself with Matrox FB support?

There is special support for Matrox in mplayer: -vo mga and -vo xmga
Run 'mplayer -vo help', see if those mentioned above are on the list. If not, you'll need to compile mplayer yourself. Though I have no idea what exactly the requisites are to get those working. If you can't get those to work, you're limited to fbdev which is indeed much slower than Xv, because colorspace conversion and scalign need to be done in software. So get vo mga working.

I can't get the h264 compressed video frame buffer

hello everybody, i tried to develop video streaming App on iPhone 4. But i can't get the h264 compressed video frame buffer before streaming these frames to network. Could anybody please tell me how to do this, thanks!!!

Look to see if you still have A.Pack installed on your computer; it should be in the Applications folder on your boot drive. That's what was used for AC3 encoding prior to Compressor 3. In the meantime, you could lower the bit rate of the video in order to use the AIF audio file on your DVD.

Issue with running QuickTime Windows. Buffer Overrun Error - C++ Library .

Initial problem was Buffer Overrun Error (C++ Library) when clicking on QuickTime after installation. IE. QT would not even open. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831875#appliesto
I took these steps:
1. Tried to uninstall QuickTime by itself (it failed).
2.
3. Manually deleted apple, itunes and quicktime from the entire system (where ever it let me).
4.
5. Manually took out from the registration the apple stuff.
6.
7. Left the items in the recycle bin (in case there were any real issues and I needed something restored).
8.
9. Performed a registration cure (RegCure).
10.
11. Took off my entire Anti Virus.
12.
13. Dropped down separately the QuickTime and separately the iTunes on desktop.
14.
15. Tried to install QuickTime from one of the two saved files on my desktop, but encountered a serious fault
16.
17. It needed the QuickTime Installer to remove QuickTime itself, else it crapped out and nothing happened. This complained for a QuickTime.msi file which was a problem.
18.
19. Went to the recycle bin and restored only components which were marked QuickTime Installer.
Removed the QuickTime instead of Repair.
Went to the website and Installed QuickTime 7 directly.
It opened on the desktop after installation.
Installed iTunes separately from the desktop and it opened directly.
Rebooted my pc.
Enabled all my Security (McAFee).
Opened one by one the QuickTime and Then the iTunes.
Created a computer restore point with a narrative for the future.
This was a very difficult task and required a lot of steps. I am glad you helped me with the removing part. Its great to have everything working again on my pc.
I hope this was helpful - it took me ageges to fix.

I'm experiencing exactly the same bug. Matter of fact, it's the first time in years that I've run across this kind of 'problem' when using non-beta software from a major player. Too bad. This really reflects poorly on Apple's credibility.

Buffer Underrun error message - what is it and how do I fix it ?

Quick Time (Audio Preferences) fails to launch with buffer overrun error

It all started a few weeks ago, after installing itunes7.0 for windows, and itunes began to annoy me (indeed drive me mad) with an error message :
"an unhandled win32 exception has occured in itunes.exe [3840]" at startup / closing immediately afterwards.
After numerous uninstall/reinstall/clean the registry/system restore attempts I managed to solve the issue-- BUT only for a few days..It failed again and so I went through the itunes support forums even found an entry
"iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes fails to launch with an unknown error"
which suggests that my issue could be solved by :
"Open the QuickTime control panel and select the Audio tab.
In the Devices section de-select the Safe mode (waveOut only) option and click Apply."
But to my surprise, when i selected the Audio tab (and the Audio tab ONLY ) it presented me a "buffer overrun error" which indicated that the internal state of the program has been corrupt and it would be shutting down now..
It's such a nuisance..!!
Please, help, and your help will be deeply appreciated... !
I have tried to revert to the older version and it didn't work..

let's try swapping out your existing QuickTime one more time. we'll take a few additional explicit precautions this time.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

Buffer Overrun error when playing MPEG4 video files

I have the latest dirextX and windows updates and have also tryed rolling back quicktime to an earlier version. The error still occurs. The videos also play fine when they are on my ipod.
Any suggestions why this is happening?

Microsoft C++ Buffer Overflow Error

I have created two movies from iPhoto on my Mac. When I move them to an XP machine, sometime after 30 minutes of playing, I get the Microsoft C++ Buffer Overflow Error message, and Quicktime for Windows aborts. I have no problems playing them to completion on several Macs.
I upgraded to the latest QT version, still see the problem.
Any help appreciated.

You're having the same issue as I...see my post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=672272&tstart=30
Unfortunately, though, I have not gotten a response to my original post.

Share FCPX with Blu-ray USB3 LaCie writer boot error

Hi
I've been around the bush and back looking at how to burn a blu-ray movie to a disc from FCPX and a slim Blu-ray LaCie drive. I was able to burn a 5 minute movie from FCPX without any trouble but as soon as I try and burn something larger (like an 11gig movie) 1080 HD I get up in the morning to find an error referring to boot directory or something with a boot in it. Sorry can't be more secific than that. It's costing me everytime it goes wrong.
I logged a job with LaCie and they said any disc is compaitble so i'm wondering whether there is an issue with Final Cut Pro X ? Thank you for any assistance.
Mike

OK, I have FCPX. I burned DVDs etc all fine. I then burn a Blu-ray. Initially I tried to save to hard drive and burn from there but that didn't work. Seeing FCPX can burn directly to optical device (LaCie) I tried that (share menu in FCP) I got a boot error message that I didn't take a note of. Today I tried again after I checked a few things out. I put in my BD-R disc into the device. FCPX says it is "finishing create blu-ray disc: burning Blu-ray"
at 85% it then said Insert Disc, i did this and it is hanging.
I have been able to burn a 5 mintue Blu-ray sucessfully but as soon as I get to a 55 minute movie I have been unsuccessful. Layers are automatic. speed is automatic, it's a brand new mac running OS X 10.8.2 The guy I bought the discs from reccomends Roxio but why should I buy new software when FCPX says it burns.

Boot Error Sequence

IdeaCentre K210 57078894 works fine until I completely shut it down and restart it. I get errors like Boot Error Sequence, PXE-E53 No boot filename received, PXE-M0F. When I go to the BIOS setup it says Primary IDE not detected. Can anyone help fix this problem?

Hi,
You might try removing the hard drive and then put it in an external 3.5" USB enclosure and then test it on a different PC. This type of adapter could also be used to test the hard drive on another PC.

Possible to build PC based frame buffer using PCI 6111?

I'm considering building a variable scan rate, passive capture frame buffer for Scanning Electron Microscopes. There are no off the shelf frame grabbers that support the clock rates I need and so I'm considering building a line grabber with a DAQ style device and building a frame in PC memory. Has anyone done this. Does the 'setup and run' support of a a PCI-6111 support grabbing video lines in rapid succession and then DMA'ing them out before the next video line comes in? Pixel clock is about 38KHz and 640 samples per line.

Rick Walton,
I noticed that I failed to post the link to the product spec page for the PCI-6111 (it can be found here).
The PCI-6111 can handle sampling rates up to a maximum of 5MS/s (see NI PCI-6111 User Manual).
The sampling rates are indeed programmable at your desired range.
If you have any further questions please post back. You can also look at the NI PCI-6111 page for specific pricing and purchasing inquiries.
