How do I enable AGP acceleration?

Am currently using my housemate's system, as mine was fried over xmas :(
Generally, his isn't a bad gamaing rig, although it leaves soemthing to be desired when it comes to RAM and the graphics card - so I've stuck some more RAM and my 9800 (standard) in it.
Problem is that the AGP acceleration doesn't seem to be enabled, and every time I try to enable it in the ATI control panel it tells me it needs to reboot to complete the process - when it reboots, it's still off.
I can't find a setting in the bios to turn it on either :(
Here's the board I'm using, and the specs say it's a x 4 slot:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=368
Ideas? :(
Oh, and the manual seems silent on this point :(

Operation system please ?
ATI Driver version ?
DirectX 9b installed?
Intel Inf installed?
Previous video card's driver removed?
BIOS AGP aperture size?
Built-in Graphicz_chip can be disable via BIOS, done?
etc..

How do I enable hardware acceleration in an air exe?

I have a Stage3d game compiled as a windows bundle (exe) using adt -target bundle. Users download it from Steam and have no idea it's even running Adobe AIR.
The problem is that if the user has manually disabled hardware acceleration in Firefox, it will also be disabled in my game. In these cases, context3d.driverInfo will say "Hw_disabled=userDisabled". If they open Firefox, right-click on a flash animation, open the security settings box and check "enable hardware acceleration", it will start working on my Adobe AIR game too. (note this isn't on all systems - I can't recreate the problem myself)
I would love to pop open the display tab of the security panel for them right in my game:
Security.showSettings(Security.DISPLAY);
But that command doesn't work in AIR, it only works in browser plugins.
Explaining to users how to enable hardware acceleration in FF, IE, Safari etc seems like a terrible, confusing solution.
Any better ideas?
(also, I think this might be a bug? can anyone point me to documentation saying firefox & air should share settings like this? I went to report it but the bug tracker's down as usual: http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/)

I found the correct/new link for the bugbase: https://bugbase.adobe.com
and posted this issue as bug 3843535:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3843535
It seems to be an unfortunately common problem which I would love to find a workaround for if anyone has any ideas. This would be easier if I could recreate it myself...

How do I enable AGP 4x on 815e Pro?

Hi, I've seen a couple of posts on usenet about AGP 4x not being enabled on MSI 815E Pro (6337) mobos, and I was wondering if anyone has been able to figure out how to enable it. I have a GeForce 2 MX400 video card and it's only set to access AGP 2x, even though the manual for the 815E Pro says it supports 4x. Thank you in advance for any assistance and/or suggestions 8)

1'st thing is to install the latest intel inf (depending on your OS it might not be needed - winME and probobly XP using the i815 chipset will not need to be updated).

How to enable hardware acceleration in desktop Adobe AIR app

Hello,
As the author of this post How do I enable hardware acceleration in an air exe? , I am trying to enable hardware acceleration inside my AIR application
If the user has disabled hardware acceleration in his flash player's settings, context3d.driverInfo will say "Hw_disabled=userDisabled"
His only way to re-enable it is to open Internet Explorer or Firefox and right click on a flash content, then check "Enable hardware acceleration"
I (we) would like to be allowed to re-enable it directly inside the AIR app (via actionscript code) and not telling the user to open a browser and check some random checkboxes (cause you know it's not very user-friendly...)
A bug has been opened here Bug#3843535 - Disabling Hardware Acceleration in IE flash plugin disables it in AIR EXEs and is marked as fixed but nothing is fixed : there's still no way to enable hardware acceleration in desktop AIR application
Thanks

Hello,
I pushed to get this bug fixed and was under the impression that we addressed this back in v16. Can you share a sample app so I can have our team take a look?
Thanks,
Chris

How to: enable 3D acceleration for Savage IX/MV graphic cards

'lo all,
I'm trying out Arch Linux and this my first post on this forum. Here is my solution for a hardware configuration issue. This was also posted on the Ubuntu forums.
Regards
Satellite Pro 4280 laptops come with a S3 Savage IX/MV graphics card with 8MB onboard ram - not enough for 24 bit 3D acceleration. These use the xf86-video-savage driver. To enable 3D acceleration, you need to reduce the colour depth to 16 bit but the X auto configuration defaults to 24 bit.
To get round this I created a Xorg.conf using the command 'Xorg -configure' and then 'cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf' (following the Arch Linux beginners guide).
After hours of google searches and repeated attempts to modify the Xorg.conf to set the colour depth to 16, I finally stumbled upon the required modification:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultColorDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
****rest of Xorg.conf******
Adding DefaultColorDepth 16 at that point in the Xorg.conf worked. Ran X and no errors occured in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the DRI [3D acceleration] was enabled.
Those xorg.conf files are a nightmare: I don't understand how X can have varying xorg.conf layouts/instructions/commands between graphics cards. It was by trial and error I got this to work.
I've yet to actually test out the 3D acceleration as I'm still installing programs to my Arch Linux. I'll probably try out a screen saver that uses openGL.

I can now get a good 400fps if I run glxgears as root.
For my attempt to get 3D acceleration to work for users, I ammended the xorg.conf to include Section "DRI" and Group "video" [see the xorg.conf link below]. I included video to the user's group but the glxgears fps remained at 40fps. [*update* after a restart or something, it finally decided to give 400fps as user! , the configuration files below remain unchanged]
Hardware: Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280
Graphics card: S3 Savage IX-MV
Driver: xf86-video-savage
The relevent files:
~/.xinitrc
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/219720/
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/219721/
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/219723/
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/219725/
There are some error messages not found in the above logs that are posted on the screen when I quit openbox:
error setting MTRR (base = 0xf0000000, size = 0x00800000, type = 1) Inappropriate ioctl for device (25)
ERROR: xdg-autostart requires PyXDG to be installed

How to Enable Hardware Acceleration in FireFox 31

Please advise how to enable hardware acceleration in FireFox 31. All my graphics and other hardware/software is current and updated. I've also paired my Bookmark Toolbar down to under 20 entries.
FireFox is so sluggish that just a few open tabs cause the pausing "wheel of doom" every time I try to enter information or go to another part of the website. Sometimes the pauses are 5-10 seconds, sometimes a minute or more.
I do not have this issue on the other browsers that I use.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

How to Enable AGP 8x

I recently upgraded my machine to a XP 2200 using the KT4 Ultra and a new Gainward TI4200 8X video card. My BOIS is the most up to date, how do I enable 8x? The BOIS only has 1x, 2x, and 4x.
Thanks

3D Mark 2003 shows my 9700 Pro video card as 4x/8x (8x enabled)
So, you can try 3D Mark 2003.
Matter of fact, they just released a new patch for 3D Mark 2003 a few days ago. It's a free program.

Go there and look for it.

How do I enable an add-on in Firefox safe mode?

So recently I have had a problem with Firefox crashing all the time and found out it was an add-on that was causing the problem.
I have tried opening Firefox in safe-mode to disable add-ons but they are already disabled, so I want to know how to enable an add-on and then to permanently disable it so Firefox will open normally again. . .
I have already tried to permanently disable all add-ons by using the Firefox options box but nothing happens after I click on the 'make changes and restart firefox' button. After I click it nothing happens and it remains frozen. ([https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe mode Window])
So to make things short, how do I enable an add-on in Firefox safe mode?

In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and also disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
You should still see a Disable button or Enable button (if you disabled them all) in the extension Manager (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) if you start Firefox in Save mode.

"Enable hardware acceleration" message box.

HI, guys, I am delivering some Captivate SWFs through a PDF and everytime i launch the swf from inside the PDF, i get a popup with "Adobe Flash Player Settings" Display" and "Enable hardware acceleration" is checked. how do i turn off the annoying popup?

Hi,
I'm not sure why this is happening. While you might find someone here that knows the answer to this, I think your best bet would be to repost this question over on the Captivate forums.
Thanks,

Does the "Enable hardware acceleration" check box work in Google Chrome?

There have been some recent changes to the Flash Player "Enable hardware acceleration" tab in the settings dialog on Google Chrome. This tab is referenced in the How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration? FAQ.
You may have noticed that this tab was recently removed but is now present once again. We wanted to let you know that our intention for this setting on Chrome is to allow you to toggle hardware video decoding on and off. However, as of the current version of Flash Player (11.7.700.225) this is currently not enabled. While the check box will allow you to check and uncheck the box, nothing is actually occurring behind the scenes. We expect to correct this behavior in a upcoming release and will update this FAQ once completed.

No it's not. Gallium is a new architecture for writing drivers, and a bit more than that. Only softpipe and llvmpipe are software renderers, the others are hardware. If easyonthev is now seeing llvmpipe where he saw RV before, it indeed means he lost hardware rendering. I don't have experience with radeon cards though, so I don't know where to look for solutions. According to the log, everything loaded fine.
easyonthev, which graphic card exactly do you have? And are you using KMS or not?

Any wiki about enabling hardware acceleration on openssl?

Is there any wiki about how to enable hardware acceleration on openssl?
or does it just automatically happen?

Archwiki, or in general? The answer to either would be why do you want us to do your googling for you? I did a quick search for each option and took all of 5 seconds to have both answers. (edit: make that all three answers including whether it is "automatic").
