Is it possible AT ALL to make fglrx work with the ATI RV505?!

I have an ATI X1550 graphics card based on the chipset in the topic subject... I wish my PC wasn't half-height, so I could go get a real graphics card.... but I have what I have for now, and I guess I should settle for it.
So, the problem in question is this: is it possible -AT ALL- to make fglrx make my ATI card "go", and...
* Work with OpenGL and not hang when OpenGL output is, more or less, "on".
* Not epically fail with Compiz Fusion running, and #1 not draw my background, #2 not update the screen unless I switch workspaces and #3 not hand anything related to graphics updating to my CPU, rendering EVERYTHING at about 1 frame every 2 seconds.
I don't have that card in my computer right now and probably won't for a while (unless someone can say "do XYZ, I have like exactly that card and it worked"), since despite only being 64MB my integrated graphics from Intel pwn the X1550 (which has 256MB, sigh) to bits in terms of hardware acceleration. Despite my Intel graphics (Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)) not even having direct rendering (libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so: undefined symbol: _glapi_tls_Context)).

If you're talking about streaming video and the video stalls on you, you just have to wait until the video loads enough in the cache before you start playing it or it will continue to stall on you. If you do not have a very fast Internet download speed, there's not a whole lot you can do about it other than to let the video finish loading before you start the playback.

  • HT1338 where is the update for aperture to make it work with the updated os x yosemite

    where is the update for aperture to make it work with the updated os x yosemite

    The currently sold version of Aperture at the AppStore, Aperture 3.6 is compatible with Yosemite. 
    See the Release notes: Aperture 3.6 Release notes
    If you are running any version of Aperture 3, you should be able to update to this version.  Does the update not show for you?
    The update has been shown automatically for those who had upgraded from Mavericks and been running Aperture 3.5.1. Other users, who skipped Mavericks and Aperture 3.5.1 have reported problems to get the update to show and needed to contact the AppStore Support. The update did not show, if the users tried to update from an earlier version.

  • HT1695 I am trying to print wirelessly and get no air printer found. I have a new hp 3523 wireless printer but can't make it work with the new iPad. Do I need a special driver or is there another way for it to work

    How do I set up so I can print wirelessly to my hp wireless printer.

    Hi,
    The printer do support AirPrint (the HP Deskjet 3525 is part of the 3520 Series).
    Make sure your printer connected to the same router as your iPad and it shold be listed..
    Be aware that you need iOS 4.2 or higher and your router should support Multicasting for AirPrint to work..
    If the printer isn't listed please clarify your router brand and model, some routers don't offer Multicasting or have the protocol disabled by default.

    VLC - the cross-platform media player and streaming server
    VLC (initially VideoLAN Client) is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, ...) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.
    This player will play just about EVERYTHING!
    Also unpacked .rar files and .iso files.
    Lots of settings for audio and video....
    Give it a try!!!

    When it comes to video files, nothing is ever as easy as it should be. Thankfully, VLC Media Player offers a one-stop solution for the file-format problem. The program supports playback of OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, DVD, and a whole slew of other file types. In addition, it also can function as a streaming media server. Because of its open-source foundation, VLC Media Player evolves quickly, with new features and fixes released frequently. Though the interface varies from platform to platform, the sparseness of the Windows version leaves plenty to be desired. The skinned mode perks things up slightly, but the program seems to suffer from unpredictable behavior when skinned. Also, the basic task of opening a file is far more confusing than it should be; the program gives you several options, including the head-scratching Quick Open File. Overall, though, VLC Media Player is a must-have application for its ability to open just about any type of video file you throw at it.

    Hi,
    I wonder if its possible to use the Wireless connection manager 5 and to make or receive a call?

    Hi,
    I see that nobody answered so i will try to explain what i meant -
    Is it possible to make audio call with the Wireless Manager by the GSM modem module?
    I succeed to send SMS and to connect to HSPA data services but i dont find any reason why i can not connect to the GSM and make a call.
    I have Portege R600 model PPR61E-01C00NG3
    I even succeed to use the GPS that probably installed in the GSM/HSPA modem (wireless manager 5).
    If anyone can explain how and if it possible to make a call please send your reply ... i wnat to use the laptop with BT instead of cell phone ....
    Thanks

  • When i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop

    when i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop just one album without making settings changes?

    The first ever Sync of 12,000 songs to an empty iPod will take a while, but it shouldn't take two days.
    Once all 12,000 songs have been Synced to the iPod, subsequent changes to just one album will result in a very short Sync time. That Sync will include:
    the change to that one album
    play counts on iPod updated into your iTunes Library
    Smart Playlists updated: some complex Smart Playlists are not always updated by the iPod but have to wait for a Sync with the Library.
    housework - in other words, behind the scenes tasks that we don't need to see.
    Those subsequent Syncs do not sync every single song every time.
    So, stick with Syncing. If the first Sync of all your songs is taking too long, try syncing part of the Library (say one or two genres) the first time, a further part the second time and so on. After all, with a Library that large, manually managing the iPod will be a source of torture.

  • Hi, I've just downloaded Aperture 3.2 and transfered all my iPhoto Library but now when I use the Aperture program it runs at the slowest speed possible and is almost impossible to work with. It is constantly processing why is this?

    Hi, I've just downloaded Aperture 3.2 and transfered all my iPhoto Library but now when I use the Aperture program it runs at the slowest speed possible and is almost impossible to work with. It is constantly processing why is this?

    You can click on the text that says 'processing' in the main windows and it will open (toggle) the Activity Window, (can also be accessed via the Window menu -> Show Activity.
    It will tell you what Aperture is doing with more precision and perhaps even how many photos it still needs to process. It is generally best to wait until all that processing is done before you start working with the photos (well it is best to first turn of options what you dont want to use, perhaps Faces or Previews and then let it process the new photos).

  • All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area.  I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  Help!

    All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area. It makes it look as though all of my photos are the exact same! I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  How can I return it so that I see the photo itself in the preview area? Thank you!

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take three or four goes.

  • Z-index, make it work with MVThemeBasedFOI and MVFOI

    Hello, I'm using MapViewer with javascript library OracleMaps.js(Ver11_B091229). I'm using circles drawn with the MVCircleTool and some layers using MVThemeBasedFOI.
    Circle :
    * circle drawn event handler
    function circleDone()
         var geom = circleTool[nbrCircle-1].getCircle();
         highlightSelection(geom, true);
         circleTool[nbrCircle-1].getCircleFOI().setClickable(true);
         circleTool[nbrCircle-1].getCircleFOI().attachEventListener(MVEvent.MOUSE_RIGHT_CLICK, rClickCircleFOI);
         circleTool[nbrCircle-1].getCircleFOI().setZIndex(999);
    As you can see I have a right click event on it(used for contextmenu).
    ThemeBasedFOI :
    function addThemeBasedFOI(themeview, maxWholeImgLvl, minClickZoomLvl, clickable)
         var themeBasedFoi = new MVThemeBasedFOI(themeview,themeview);     
         if(clickable==true)
              themeBasedFoi.setClickable(true);
              arrayThemes[cptTheme]=themeBasedFoi.getLayerName();
              themeBasedFoi.attachEventListener(MVEvent.MOUSE_CLICK, foiMouseClickEvent);
              themeBasedFoi.attachEventListener(MVEvent.MOUSE_RIGHT_CLICK, mouseRightClickFOI);
    mapview.addThemeBasedFOI(themeBasedFoi);
         //set zoomlevel click and whole img level
         themeBasedFoi.setMinClickableZoomLevel(maxWholeImgLvl);
    themeBasedFoi.setMaxWholeImageLevel(minClickZoomLvl);
         cptTheme++;
    Things work fine individually but together, the MVThemeBasedFOI is over the Circle(it's an MVFOI).
    MVThemeBasedFOI index can be changed(if it works) with the MVMapView's method setThemeIndex(MVThemeBasedFOI, index). On its side MVFOI index can be changed by setZIndex(idx) method.
    I tried 999(the maximum value) for the circle and 1 for the layer but it changed nothing, the layer is still over the circle. Layer index doesnt work the same as usual zindex(if you see code of OracleMaps.js it's seems to be index*2+130), if index is 1 it should be(if i'm correct) 132, it's under 999 but it does not work.
    Any idea on how I can make it work ?

    yes that true, changing it later will be problematic. But if we have the break points already figured out and design finalized we just then have to open it in Muse and then add the features that muse has like scrolling effects and such. life would have been really simpler if that media query handle feature from EdgeReflow is placed in Muse. On the other hand i don't mind if reflow has the scroll effects and all the cool things Muse has. Its possible to do a really nice responsive website with reflow and edge animate and then polish your site with dreamweaver and publish it to BC. Just that i like the features of Muse and the ease of designing but it lacks the true responsiveness we need, i know you can give full width and try make it look like responsive and then you have 2 more websites to finish, the mobile and tablet versions of the website. So its a lot of work, it doesn't really make it easy to keep up with this evolving web design industry. So i think i will stick with edge reflow, dreamweaver and edge animate till Muse becomes responsive fully.

  • I changed my sim on my iPhone n reconfigured iMessage, it configured with my number but when i sign in with my apple id it says username/password is wrong while in all other things like FaceTime, App Store it worked with the same id and password

    i changed my sim on my iPhone n reconfigured iMessage, it configured with my number but when i sign in with my apple id it says username/password is wrong while in all other things like FaceTime, App Store it worked with the same id and password..
    can anyone help me to solve this issue

    i just opened my ipad, started my apple account/I.D. and realized I put the wrong e mail. I was having trouble correcting my I.D on the Ipad so I went to my laptop and make the proper changes/slash e mail address I wanted for my apple ID. I got back to my ipad and try to download an app I can't because I have to sign in my apple account and I can't because it still has the irrelivant I.D/email address..
    So, i did what you said.. went to setting>app store> tapped on my e mail.. it asked me to sign in (with my invalid emails address showing). I signed in with the password I had created. It said "incorrect".. I went to reset password. I reset password, tried to sign in and it says again "unvalid password".. this is getting irritating.  I have been asking and no one knows what to do.

  • Is it possible to create a 1 D array with the "build array VI"? when receiving random number

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to create a 1 D array with the "build array VI" when receiving random number?
    I am receiving random data and the build array VI always create a 2D array which might cause some problem if you want to compute certain type of operation after.
    Any example will be welcomed.
    Thank you,
    Israel 

    Hello Lynn and Yamaeda
    First I want to Thank you Lynn for your linguistic contribution indeed "Build Array" is a primitive and not VI, thank you for the education. In reality what I am doing is simple.
    I have two arrays of complex elements Array1 and Array2.
    Array1 conains the complex elements ""(a0+ib0) ; (a1+ib1) ;...(an+ibn) ;
    Array2 conains the complex elements ""(c0+id0) ; (c1+id1) ;...(cn+idn) 
    What I want to do is the multiplication of the first array by the  conjugate of the second array element.
    Array1*(Conjugate Array 2)" for the first element the results is "(a0.C0-b0.d0) + i(b0c0-a0d0)" and the etc...
    and then taking the square root ([(a0.C0-b0.d0) power of 2]) +  [(b0c0-a0d0) power of 2])
    I was wondering if there were some dedicate primitive that could solve the computation above which is the cross correlation in Frequency domain.
    Thank you very much.

  • Can i make this work with a number specified in the constructor?

    Hi everyone
    I posted a couple of days ago and i have managed to advance a bit since then.
    Here i have a class called "flower" and it draws a flower with two leaves and 12 petals using the classes "petal and "leaf".
    However, ideally i would like to be able to make this work with a number of petals specified in the constructor, not just 12.
    is this possible or do i need to rewrite the entire class?
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.geom.*;
    public class flower {
        private Shape circle;
        private Shape stem;
        public flower()   {
            circle = new Ellipse2D.Double(-25, -25, 50, 50);
            stem = new Line2D.Double(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, -200.0);
        public void paint(Graphics g) {
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
        g2.setPaint(Color.green);
        g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(5)); // Line width 8 pixels
        g2.draw(stem);
        // Add the petals
        petal P = new petal(Color.red);
        // Scale, translate and rotate the petal into place.
        AffineTransform orig  = g2.getTransform();
        AffineTransform T = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(0.0, -25);
        for (int k = 0; k < 12; k++) {
          double angle = k*Math.PI/6.0;
          AffineTransform A =  AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(1.0, 1.0);
          A.preConcatenate(T);     // Scale, then rotate
          AffineTransform R = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(angle);
          A.preConcatenate(R);     // Scale, translate and then rotate
          g2.transform(A);
          P.paint(g);
          g2.setTransform(orig);     // Restore original transform
          g2.setPaint(Color.yellow);
          g2.fill(circle);
          leaf L = new leaf();
          AffineTransform B = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(0.0, 0.0);
          B.translate(340, 425);
          B.scale(1.0, 1.0);
          B.rotate (Math.PI/6);
          g2.setTransform(B);     
          L.paint(g);
          g2.setTransform(orig);     // Restore original
          leaf L1 = new leaf();
          AffineTransform C = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(0.0, 0.0);
          C.translate(285, 430);
          C.scale(1.0, 1.0);
          C.rotate (Math.PI/-6);
          g2.setTransform(C);     
          L1.paint(g);
          g2.setTransform(orig);     // Restore original
    }I am tempted to make "flower into a class that extends "petal" would this make it easier for me to achieve my goal?
    Any help would be great
    Thanks Carl

    Your NewFlower class extends petal. You NewFlower constructor calls super( color, petnum ), so the petal constructor is invoked. In the petal constructor, you ignore petNum. You do nothing else in the NewFlower constructor, so petNum is ignored there as well.
    What makes you think that in this orgy of ignoring petNum, that any petNum variable will magically get set, or that your flower will now magically have the right number of petals?
