Gnome system settings, wrong graphics driver?

Hello,
I recently saw in the gnome system settings that in the "Overview" section, it shows: "Graphics VESA: RV630" though I know I have installed properly the catalyst for my ATI Radeon 2600, and the xf86-video-vesa is not installed.
(In the Graphics section it sais the same and:
"Experience Standard
Forced Fallback mode OFF")
Even though it does not bother me, I was wondering if it is really a problem. Also I have noted some visual lag every now and then, although that might not be the reason.
Is this "normal"? Should I ignore it?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers!

I installed the catalyst-driver yesterday on my HTPC and in the gnome systems settings i see "Graphics: VESA: WRESTLER", so it seems to be normal.

Doh... I've installed the wrong graphics driver!!

Ok,
This is embarassing, I got a bit carried away with how easy it is to run windows on the mac mini. I stupidly tried to install a new gfx driver that matched the gfx cards model number (something I do reguarly on my PC).. it was obviously incompatible.
After install the driver I rebooted as instructed. Now the mac turns on, the light displays on both the mac and the monitor (which remains blank), it chimes, the drive spins with the disk that's still inside and then the things goes silent.
And that is that... game over.. I've reset the NVRAM, still no joy!
Help!!
I'm running an intel 2ghz model if that helps.
Thanks

Every time I see someone is stuck with Windows problems on his/her mac mini I get astonished. Why did you buy a mac mini since you decide to use it with Windows?! Anyway - it was your choice
Did you use BootCamp when installing Windows? If so pressing option key during startup would bring you a boot-up selection. You can select to run Mac OS or Windows. Then maybe you will be able to run Windows in Safe Mode.
Windows is a bad OS, believe me. I am using my mac mini for 3 months. And I shall never return to Windows or Microsoft products. Never!

No AMD graphics driver installed

Hi everyone, I trust all is well. I'm having a bit of a problem on my side. I formated my HP Pavilion dv6-6080ei last night and now that I'm trying to install my drivers I keep on getting the following message: "No AMD grapics driver is installed. or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install driver appropriate for your amd hardware." Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Kind regards

Hi: I think that HP only supports your model for 64 bit operating systems. The graphics driver you need is the 5th (last) one listed under the graphics section of the driver page below. http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-dv6-6000-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/5048664/model/5076715 If you get an error that says the driver is for 64 bit only, let me know and I will see if I can find the 32 bit driver you need.

Why does firefox 7 crashes the system if Quadro NVS 135M graphics driver is installed?

Why does firefox 7 crashes the system with a Quadro NVS 135M graphics cards installed?
It happens immediately after opening Firefox on a two screen system. You get a message saying the Graphics Driver stopped responding, but that it managed to recover, but after a while the system freezes completely. You can't even CTRL+ALT+DEL.

I get this too on with my nVidia GTX460 card. In my case the screen goes black. It happens once every few days, and for a while I could not figure out why. I was forcing a shutdown to get the screen back.
But I put the computer to sleep and woke it up, since that restarts the video, and this let me see what was wrong. The only error message is it reports that Firefox hung. There is nothing else in the Event logs.
I'm running Windows 7 with all the updates from Windows Update, and my video driver is 285.62, but his also happened with the 260.26 driver.
I imagine this is happening a lot, but people aren't able to isolate the cause.
I'm looking for a fix, not a bypass.

I have Imac (OSX10.6.8) and 6 days of emails that were in my inbox have disappeared. They've also gone from gmail server and my back up hard drive. But if I look at "All Mail" on my Iphone the emails are there!! Have I got settings wrong somewhere?

"One of the benefits of Match, right? Saving hard drive space."
I would not use iTunes Match as a backup. There are too many bugs and I don't think that's what they intended it to be anyway. The main advantage of using it is to make your music available on OTHER devices, not to replace the music on your original computer.

System Settings Reset After External Drive is Shut Down

I have my System Settings set to have the Autosave Vault, Thumbnail Cache and Waveform Cache live on my external media drive, not my internal boot drive. However, every time I turn off my media drives, the program resets these folders onto my boot drive. It leaves the capture and render file settings alone.
Why is this and how do I make it stop?
Thanks.

It needs to write to autosave vault even if the program is just sitting there open.
If it can't find the specified place to write to, it will go to it's default
Quit FCP befoe you disconnect your drives and start your drives before you launch FCP
Does it let you shut of your drives when it's running? you don't get an error message?

Nvidia GeoForce Go 7600 graphics driver and IQ770 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition

I have been having problems with my screen for several months now: every so often, for no apparent reason, it loses some of the pixels. I can still read the items on the screen, but the resolution is trashed. It happens intermittently and then goes back to normal. I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver and letting the computer go find it on a reboot. This does not work. I have also tried installing the original graphics driver. This does not work either.
If I look in the "Problem Reports" area in Control Panel, there is a graphics related error:
Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078) The resolution listed is to reinstall the device driver (which I've tried dozens of times without success) or to change the computer's performance settings, which also does nothing. I still get the occasional loss of screen clarity which returns to normal all by itself.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone have a resolution?
I have tried the latest graphics driver available on the hp website, from 8-2008 as well as the originally installed version from January 2007. The version of Windows is Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition, Service Pack 1.
If I completely uninstall the graphics driver, and do not reload any, the screen performance is fine, but then there are other problems, such as graphics acceleration.
Thanks for your help.

For the IQ700 series
If you're running Windows Vista SP2, there is a patch for USB patch for NVIDIA chipsets
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975163/
If you're running Windows 7, install this patch
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Driver-update-for-Win7-USB-issue-on-nVidia-chipse...
And only use the driver from the system manufacturer's website or Windows Update. Do not use the latest drivers from NVIDIA's website for the IQ700 series

T520 with Optimus - Can't install Intel Graphics Driver in XP

Hello,
I have T520 with Optimus FHD screen.
I have XP installed in my Ultrabay HDD.
I understand that XP doesn't support Optimus and that I must go to BIOS and choose either Discrete or Integrated.
OPTION 1 (Discrete Only) Which someone what works:
- So, when I have Discrete enabled in BIOS - and installed Nvidia Drivers in XP - everything works fine, expcept on 90% initial boot ups after going from Win 7 to XP (F12 Options) - I assume the NVIDIA driver doesn't get initially recognised and the XP boots up in non native resolution.
- It's only after I restart again and use (F12 again) to pick Ultrabay with XP, the Nvidia gets properly loaded. But this time, there is a prolong delay (60 to 90 seconds) of black screen after the WIndows XP Welcome screen before the desktop appears.
OPTION 2 (Intgrated Display Only) - Of couse, this after uninstalling NVIDIA Graphic Driver in XP
- In BIOS, Integrated Graphic in choosen.
- XP boots up in basic resolution.
- I download (From Lenovo T520 Driver Page) - Intel Integrated Driver for Win XP 32.
- When I try to install it, it says "The computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
- BTW, I do have all the WIndows Updates including NET 3.0 and higher
- So then, I try to forcibly installed through Device Manager and Having DISK - but I get Error message.
- But somehow, it works after.
One guess I have and that confuses me is the Otimus Graphic Card - where maybe it can only work with either Optimus Drivers in Windows 7 or Nvidia Drivers in Windows XP. And that the Integrated Intel HD Graphic Drivers in for XP on Lenovo website are only meant for T520 with Intel Graphics ??!!
Or can optimus be used with intergrated intel drivers only in the XP?
If anyone can shed a small light, I would be grateful.
Thanks You
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Glad to know everything is working for you.
You shouldn't need the discrete to watch flash videos, the Intel integrated should be able to handle that on its own.
The nVidia card shouldn't be running at all when the machine is in integrated . In fact it doesn't even run in Optimus except when it is actively being used. nVidia proved this when it was first demoing the technology. nVidia removed the nVidia chip from the motherboard of an active system that was running in Optimus using only the integrated graphics, and the computer kept running without issue and the power consumption was the same with and without the chip on the board.
If you really wanted FireFox to always run with the nVidia card (again, I don't know why you would want this) you can change the settings in the nVidia control panel to force FireFox to run with discrete.

Messed up system settings ?

Occasionally some system setting or the other gets toggled without any apparent provocation on my side.
E.g. the "show menu icon" setting for the display or keychain get turned off, or the "require password to wake this computer" suddenly gets turned ON.
Any ideas why?
Is there some maintenance operation I can do to eliminate these?
Are there certain software packages know to cause these problems?
Thanks

Macintosh Family: Batteries and Part Numbers, Part 2
This document provides information and part numbers for backup and system batteries used in portable and desktop Macintosh computers since 1997-11. For Macintosh computers introduced prior to 1997-11, see technical document 11751, "Macintosh Family: Batteries and Part Numbers".
Some Macintosh computers have a backup battery to maintain system settings, such as the date and time, when the computer is turned off . The battery may last up to five years. However, this varies due to the battery's shelf life, and usage patterns of the computer. The batteries used in Macintosh computers are lithium or alkaline, and are commonly 3.6 V to 4.5 V.
If your computer does not retain parameter RAM (PRAM) settings when it is turned off, this generally indicates that the battery needs to be changed. Some Macintosh models may display a black screen when you turn them on if the battery needs to be changed.
If you are uncomfortable changing the battery, an Apple Authorized Service Provider can install one for you.

X230 keeps rebooting after update of Intel(R) HD Graphics Driver Version 8.15.10.2696

Hi,
i just got a new x230. I finished the first time setup and ran the thinkvantage system update utility. It listed the Intel(R) HD Graphics Driver Version 8.15.10.2696 as an optional update, so i ran it.
After it completes and restarts, the system will just cold boot once it gets to the user login screen. Is this a wrong driver for the x230?
thanks.

Hello x230user,
It is the correct driver for the X230 and Windows 7 but it might have downloaded the wrong bit OS for your computer.
Are you able to uninstall the driver? If possible please boot into safe mode and uninstall the graphics driver.
Please let me know what OS you are using and I will post the correct links. Is it a 33 bit or 64 bit OS?
Hope this helps,
Alex

A8 3850 APU with HD-6550D Graphics Driver

Members of the HP forum, I have a HP Pavilion Series Model No p7-1254 desktop.It came with a AMD-A6-3620 2.20Ghz processor with a integrated graphics, (Radeon HD 6530D). I have up-graded to a A8 3850 APU 2.9Ghz also with a intergrated graphics (Radeon HD 6550D). The problem I'm having is that I get an error message, no graphics driver. My device manager tells me that I 'm up to date on the driver and yet I see a date of the graphics driver Microsoft 1996 (must be generic). I do not have a second graphics card installed at this time. I'm unable to located a driver for the A8 3850/HD 6560D if there is one.. I'm unable to correct the display settings also at this time. I have not reverted back to the original processor to see if everything would be back to there original settings.The A8 3850 APU is a approved up-graded for the p7-1254 PC with the FM1 socket and Holly motherboard.............What I'm I doing wrong ?...................... Maybe I'm drinking way too many gallons of coffee and the stupid's are creeping in................ Thank You in advance for any help you can give me with my problem. Koppa.

Please try downloading and installing the AMD Chipset Driver and the AMD Catalyst Display Driver for your A8-3850 CPU.

Graphics Driver - Getting a bit confused

Dotted around this forum reference is always made to 'check that you have the latest graphic drivers installed', in another post referenced to flickr is a way 'one user has managed to tweak his graphic card settings' but somewhere else the advice given is 'disable the NVIDIA Control Panel'.
Forgive me, but this is all getting a bit confusing as LR is about the only application where I have come across so much confusion. Could someone in the know kindly tell me what the latest advice is please? In this post (mentioned before) Adobe actually suggest using the Windows driver http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400808&sliceId=1
Surely as NVIDIA is one of the more common display cards/drivers Adobe would have tested LR using their latest graphics cards - no? Indeed, if this is the case, wouldn't it be useful to users if Adobe actually published what graphic cards had been tested with LR and what the settings should be for each of the latest cards?
It might be looking at things in a very simple way, but surely the onus is upon Adobe to ensure that their application works with at least the newer systems and not put the user through exhaustive tests, tweaks and experimentation in the HOPE that performance will be improved.
Incidentally, I've got installed a NVIDIA 8800GT

I do not believe Lr uses the video GPU for processing and therefore there are no specific graphic card requirements.
What Adobe is recommending (and what I have done) is to disable the nView Desktop Manager. This software controls some apects of a desktop setup but is entirely optional and is not required for a multi monitor configuration using nVIDIA cards. The nView Desktop Manager is software separate from the graphics driver.
Why nView Desktop Manager causes Lr to go haywire is beyond me. And the nVIDIA forums have no mention of problems with Lr.

Gnome system settings, wrong graphics driver?
