[SOLVED] xcompmgr and nvidia geforce 6800 LE

Hello everybody,
I am installing arch on my main desktop on which I have a nvidia 6800 LE. I used wiki and almost everything works fine. However I am used to have xcompmgr running with awesome wm. But my xorg configuration for my geforce 6800 LE should be not correct because it's not working at all.
I observed that both modules freetype and type1 that are highlighted in wiki are not found on my computer ...
You can find my xorg here :

I was wondering if you had an idea of the cause of this non functioning. Moreover if someone has a good working xorg for geforce 6800 LE, you would be happy to know about it.
Thanks a lot for you help,

  • NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT DDL and multiple monitors

    I just installed the NVIDIA Geforce 6800 GT DDL and understood it could run 2 30" Apple monitors. I thought that was awesome. But I didn't have 2 30" Apple monitors. I just have a RasterOps Mc 8115 21" and I hooked it up to that and it ran great. So I dug out an old 15" PC VGA Monitor and hooked it up too.
    Well the my big screen started the old roll and shake. Does the 21" RasterOps just draw too much to run 2 screens?

    I think you can find those on eBay, but why not consider an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro or an ATI Radeon X800?

  • Problem with MSI Nvidia GeForce 6800 LE (128MB) when playing 3D games

    Games problem
    I have bought a new MSI Nvidia GeForce 6800 LE (128MB) a couple of months ago and have been have loads of trouble when playing games.
    In windows, the graphics card works fine. The computer never crashes and everything is speedy. Movies on DVD, Xvid, Divx all play fine without problem, the most I get is the occasional freezing and then windows will be normal again.
    The problem arises when I try to play a 3D game. When I load up the game it goes into the menu screens ok, the computer will load up the 3D engine and it will play for around a minute nice and crisp then the screen will go blank and computer will lock up. Then all the drives will go quiet and the computer will make 3 beeps with the PC speaker. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL at this point does nothing, nor does the reset button. I have to turn the power on and off.
    I really have no clue why this is happening, I have taken the covers off and kept it in a cool area, hoping that it was something to do with over heating, my computer is not overly cluttered and this has made no difference.
    I have also unplugged the CDR, DVDR, USB ports, one Hard drive (storage) to see if it was something to do with the power no getting to the Videocard and then tried to play a game and the same problem arose.
    I have two games that I have tried, Tiger woods 2005 and doom III, both of which crash in the same manner.
    I have tried to be as detailed as I can with the descritopn of my computer below and the power details I'm not sure about so I posted a picture of the power unit to help.
    Many thanks for your help in this matter, I'm desperately trying to get some worth out of this card and feel frustrated that its going bonkers only when trying to play games :/
    Please tell me if you require further information about the system.

    Firstly, thank you for all your prompt responses, I really appreciate it. From the sounds of it, the PSU is ****
    antec
    From what I have read, the Antec PSUs have good reliability and ratings. I looked around and saw this one: Antec NEOPower 480W ATX PSU for around £65. I also went read that article posted by Dr Stu, which then stumbled on more articles about PSUs.
    I have a couple more questions….
    The rating of my system (http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/Power_Supply_Calculator.php) with all the components running came out to be 422W.  So do you think that the Antec NEOPower 480W ATX PSU would be sufficient for the computer considering I might add more RAM in the future?
    Or should I buy the 500W+ one then?
    Does anyone know if the Antec PSUs are quiet? My current q-Tec one makes me feel I'm in an aeroplane.
    lucky I read the forum!
    I was in Maplins (computer shop) at lunch and thought, that shiny 650W Q-Tec looks nice and there looks like loads of power, that much do the trick. i got to the counter and thought.....let me wait, till i get home from work and read some more on the forum about this PSU issue.
    Thanks god I didn’t buy that S***. having read some of the reviews, i would have wasted loooots of money for nothing.

  • Colour Issues - NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra in G5 2.5Ghz

    Hi
    I have an odd issue with NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra card in a G5 Tower.
    The monitor (tried several screen so ruled that out) displays as if it is only producing Thousands instead of Millions of colours, but this is only seen at the Black end of the scale and white. For example, if you are viewing a folder's content as list, you can't see the pale blue lines under every other file. If you open another window on top, you can see the blue lines in what would be the shadow of the top window. So pale colours and dark colours are showing as white or black.
    Interestingly I have a fix for this issue but it's not permanent as it reverts on restart. If I go to System Prefs > Displays and rotate the display 180˚ and then revert to 0˚ the problem is fixed!
    I've tried everything I know to find a permanent fix :-
    Dumping Preferences
    Calibrating
    Resolutions and Refresh rate
    I did have this issue on an ATI card, but I resolved that with an ATI System Preference Pane.
    Can anybody suggest trying anything?
    thanks
    Matt

    Genius, this strikes a chord. I remember resolving this issue for a customer a couple of years ago and this was the answer. Was v.pleased with myself at the time, but obviously my memory is failing me now.
    Can't test until monday, but will be in touch.
    PS what does this say/mean - Aha, good clue, the bloe bard!
    thanks

  • Graphics card for PM G5 AGP-ATI Radeon 800 vs Nvidia Geforce 6800

    Any comments as to which of the two cards ATI Radeon 800 vs Nvidia Geforce 6800 is better suited for Photoshop-Aperture work?
    I need to upgrade from a Nvidia 5200 that does not support Aperture and want to support at least one 30" + one 23" Apple cinema displays.
    My PM is an AGP one, so these are the two high end contenders on the retail market.

    I have the 6800GT, which works fairly well for me. I think the X800 is overall a slightly faster card, depending on what is benchmarked. Here is something you might want to look at:
    http://www.barefeats.com/radx800.html
    I don't know if you should pay more attention to the gaming benchmarks or the Motion rendering benchmark. I haven't seen any Aperture tests of these products. But I imagine if I was upgrading I would probably go for the X800. One thing I like about the 6800GT is it supports two 30 inch monitors. Unfortunately it takes up 2 slots. I have a pair of SATA cards in my Dual 2.5, so there go all my slots.

  • NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL supported for FC Studio II on DP PPC G5 2.5??

    Up dated to 10.4.11 & Studio II (FC6.0.2) and no problem. Even launched Final cut once and all o.k.
    2nd time, says grafix card, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL isn't Quartz Extreme so, good by we're
    quitting.
    Swapped into another identical G5 and in Sys Profiler, says the card is Quartz Extreme supported.
    What gives? I tried the Nvidia web site for drivers, but they show no Mac support.
    Ideas?
    thanks
    p2

    Any progress on this? I just ran into the same problem. I launch Final Cut Pro 6.0.3 and I get an error:
    1)Final Cut Pro requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card.
    2)Final Cut Pro recommends that your system have 64 MB of VRAM; this system has only 0 MB of VRAM.
    3)The installed graphics card does not not support the OpenGL features recommended by Final Cut Pro.
    System profilor shows the GeForce 6600, but no Quarts infomration.

  • Will this card work? - Nvidia Geforce 6800 ULTRA 256MB VRAM AGP Video Card

    I posted a question about getting the maximum resolution from an Apple 30 inch Cinema Display and another card, which didn't work.
    The replies were fast here in the forum and quite correct.
    My next question is regarding the Nvidia Geforce 6800 ULTRA 256MB VRAM AGP Video Card.
    I have an AGP card with an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro card that can't power the 30 inch because it's only 64MB and no DVI output.
    I'm wondering whether this card will give me the maximum resolution?
    Thanks again.

    Hi Japamac-
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    My System Profiler indicates a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, but it doesn't have the Dual Link since this is an older G5 with only 64MB of VRAM.
    The GeForce 6800 is a refurb, but is Mac compatible.
    I'm hoping that it will work, but since it won't be returnable, I don't want to spend the money needlessly.
    I did order another card that the Apple support suggested should be compatible, but turned out that they sent me the PC version.
    I've spoken to Apple as well and get conflicting info.
    It boils down to the fact that this is a G5 with a late 2004 date.
    It is fast enough for me and my only hang up is that I'm only getting 12980X800 resolution.
    I'm not using it for gaming or graphics processing.
    HTH.

  • NVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra just died - need equivalent for my G5 - HELP

    Hi,
    I reviewed the posts but didn't find a simple answer to my mundane (if critical to me!) question:
    I have a G5 as outlined below. I upgraded it the very day the 30"monitors were announced and received the:
    nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL Card kit
    My card died this morning and I need to replace it with a functional equivalent, I know the 6800 is rare which is fine- I just need whatever is available today to get fixed up.
    Does anyone know what card I can easily get to do the job?
    Thanks so much.
    My G5
    Model Name: Power Mac G5
    Model Identifier: PowerMac7,3
    Processor Name: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
    Processor Speed: 2.5 GHz
    Number Of CPUs: 2
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB

    Alot depends on whether you ever have a second monitor hooked up.
    There is a better, faster card than a 6800 for G5s called a 7800GS, but it only has 1 @ DVI port, and one VGA port. The DVI port can run a 30" just fine however. (Means it supports "Dual Link") These are all flashed PC cards....but the ROM is quite stable and they are GREAT cards.
    If you need to run 2 @ 30" DVI monitors than you will need to find a Mac 6800 on EBay. It HAS to be an original Mac one, the "flashed" PC ones NEVER have Dual Link capability.
    Another option would be a Max X800 XT...it has a DVI port good for a 30" and an ADC port which is only useful for an older Mac ADC monitor...but it can be converted to DVI with a relatively cheap adapter. These cards are super rare but occasionaly show up on Ebay. There are flashed X800s but most are VGA only...the DUal Link DVI ones are ULTRA rare.
    No Radeon 9800 ever had Dual Link, so don't waste any time looking at those.
    There is a retail option though I am not certain they are available anymore...the Radeon 9600 Mac and PC edition....has to be that one as most Mac 9600s didn't run Dual Link. These cards worked in Mac or PC and had 256 Megs of RAM. Sadly, they are MUCH slower than a 6800.
    I can't stress enough that you need to find a card with Dual Link capability to run a 30". Otherwise you will end up looking at your 30" at 1280x800 instead of 2560x1600.
    Try BruinMacs on Ebay, college kid who helped write the 7800GS ROM, now selling them for less than everyone else. He sometimes even has the X800 with Dual Link too, ask him.
    Sadly, you will find that the official Mac 6800 and X800 cards still fetch $400 or so...the old "Supply & Demand" rule being hard to avoid. If you can find one on a local Craigslist ad, grab it up !!! (after testing)

  • Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra / G5 Dual Processor / 30 in. Display

    Just installed Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra in G5 Dual Processor and my 30 in. monitor is not working. Tried theis with my other monitor, a ViewSonic 8P810 and it didn't work either and said monitor had no signal. How do I know if card is working? I did hear the Mac ding letting me know the computer was powering up but not sure it finished. Will the 6800 with other cards above it? How often are these cards dead? Thanks, CD

    Hi, I think you have to adjust your firmware, I just read this and it may help you.

    Read through it, I didnt understand most of it but there are some usefull looking forum links that may help you.
    Good luck.

    Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    3-D is very memory intensive.
    System requirements | Photoshop
    Mac OS
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
    2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
    ** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
    Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

  • [SOLVED]Wine and nvidia-96xx

    Hi. Just switched to arch from Debian, loving it so far. First major problem I ran into is, of course, wine related.
    Trying to get Diablo 2 running in wine. I have an ancient nVidia Geforce 4 Ti 4800 card in my machine, because I couldn't get my (slightly newer, but still ancient) ATI Radeon X1650 running in Debian. Had no problem with the nVidia card on Debian with the same wine version.
    Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 96.43.14, but this NVIDIA driver
    component has version 190.42. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA
    driver components have the same version.
    I've browsed the repos and AUR looking for a legacy version of lib32-nvidia, googled some, but no solution as yet. Am I going to have to go with open source drivers or build my own drivers, or is there a nice simple solution to this?
    Oh, almost forgot, I'm running 2.6.31-ARCH x86_64.
    EDIT: Solved this. Made a lib32-nvidia-utils-96xx which I uploaded to AUR if anyone else needs it.

    Cracked it. For whatever ridiculous reason, wine didn't want to run apps off my other hard drive, whether I symlinked the D2 dir or mounted it. Copying Diablo 2 to the drive where I have arch installed solved the problem. Guess I'll file a bug with wine. Now to erase Debian from my life (well, almost, it's still running on my server ). Thanks for all the help guys!

  • S10 and Nvidia GeForce GTX 280

    Hi
    I just bought a S10 model 6423-45G and a Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 280. The problem is that the powersurply only comes with 2 x 6 PIN power connectors for the graficcard but this new graficcard needs 1 x 6 PIN and 1 x 8 PIN power connector. Is there any S10 models on the market with 1 x 6 PIN and 1 x 8 PIN power connectors at this point in time or is the only solution to put in some power convert to support this graficcard?

  • IPhoto 11 and nVidia GeForce 7300 GT

    Hi folks,
    I have an 2006 white iMac 24" with the nVidia GeForce 7300 GT and there is no way to use my iPhoto 11 without freezing Snow Leopard.
    As I can see, everybody with nVidia GeForce 7300 GT are having the same freeze problem.
    Anyone have success solving the problem? Apple don't say nothing about it?
    Let's get together to Apple hear us!

    Have same problem.(24" iMac with nvidia 7300GT) Read all about the very real problem on this discussion group and have done all the suggestions. Notified Apple, etc.
    I had brought my iMac to an Apple Genius Bar and they spent a lot of time on it, with results being---"there is a problem" and admitting that it is not with my computer. But they could not tell me anything more (they do not know whether an iPhoto fix is in work).
    As I have a large and active library, I could no longer live with this problem.
    I bought Aperture. It works wonderfully. The import of my library was flawless. There is a sizeable learning curve and many things are different than iPhoto. I found that Aperture is not only extremely quick but there are a great many useful things that iPhoto does not have. I had previously used Elements for detailed adjustment, but it looks like Aperture can be used for this, and I eventually may also drop Elements.
    So maybe this very frustrating problem did end up with a silver lining.

  • DVI to Component video w/ MacBook Pro and NVIDIA GeForce 8600M card...

    I just got a new MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M video card. On the NVIDIA website for the card, it states:
    "Integrated HDTV encoder provides analog TV-output (Component/Composite/S-Video) up to 1080i/1080p resolution".
    I have a Sony HDTV that only has component video (Y Pr Pb) inputs (the red/green/blue inputs). It is capable of HD up to 1080i.
    If the NVIDIA card does output an analog TV (Component) signal, it should work. However, when I went to the place that sells the DVI-to-Component adapter, I got some bad news:
    See it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E8V0YI/ref=pdluc_sbs_0202
    I wrote a question to the Sewell folks about this product and asked this:
    Will this work with the dual link DVI-I port on my macbook pro? Graphics card info: Nvidia 8600 GT 256MB of GDDR3 memory Here is the link to the card's site: http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_8600.html
    They answered:
    Unfortunately this will not work. While the GPU may support the function, the Mac Version of the cards do not implement the component signal.
    I think they are still thinking about the older MacBooks that use the ATI chipset and don't know about the new NVIDIA cards.
    Is component really not implemented in the new MacBook Pros?
    I have the 17" model that has more VRAM than the 15" and I got the HD screen upgrade.
    Does anyone know any solution that will work with the MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA chipset? As I said, I'm trying to output an HD signal from the DVI port on the MacBook Pro to component video input on my HD television.
    Thanks for the help.

    Sorry, the website for the Sewell adapter is here:
