Ultra 60 with a Hercules VGA Card wont show me anything

Hi there,
i just have a Ultra 60 on my desk, and unfortunately I am not getting anything on my screen. Is there anything special I should look after to get the U60 with the Hercules PCI Card to work? The Model of the hercules VGA Card is: Terminator 3D/DX with a S3 Virge/DX <- if that is of any help.
Thanks
niels

Hello Niels,
Is there anything special I should look after to get the U60 .... to work?
The Hercules PCI card (and any other PC graphics board) won't work with a SPARC system. You have to use a card with OpenFirmware not a VGA BIOS. Please review the Sun System Handbook page of the Ultra 60 for supported cards.

I assume you got the Hercules card for free.The required Sun graphics boards are very inexpensive today (from second hand, e.g. eBay).
Even with a Sun graphics card (frame buffer) but without a Sun keyboard the output is directed to the serial console.
There is a german language Sun home user site http://www.sonnenblen.de

Failure with second PCI vga card..

I recently found a monitor in my backyard, and decided i'd try a multimonitor setup.
So i installed an old ati 3d rage pro card in a pci slot. Booting up, nothing appared on the other screen, but the card showed up in device manager without any problems. Initializing pci card first, resulted in both screens turning on, but system hang at log in. I use w2k.
So i upped to bios 2.6, same thing happens, and my w2k installation goes corrupt. So i install w2k again and just install the drivers for the onboard vga, and hey it works! But only when i initialize pci first.
But when i install the rest of the drivers for the mainboard it all fucks up again and hangs after i press log on... Any clues? I used the latest msi nforce drivers, i have removed all other cards from the pc.
tnx

if you mean power supply by ps, it's a brandless tower.
I have 1x256 meg PC2100 ram, not sure about brand here either. Maybe it'd help with a second chip?

Re: Realtek 8191SE card wont show up in device manager

Satllite L450D-128 part number: PSLY5E-01301LEN, Win7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Hi,
I cannot use my wireless internet connection. The LAN connection works fine when connected via cable.
I have read all the related topics to make sure i am not repeating a previously solved issue but i cannot figure out the problem.
The connection status indicator in the system tray shows no available networks,
The wireless indicator light on the front of the laptop is not illuminated.
Fn+F8 does nothing (even after resetting flash cards with value package etc) the 8191SE card does not show in device manager and i have tried adding it manually to no avail.
I have installed the latest wireless card driver specific for the 8191SE again but nothing.
I have also removed the card and re-seated it but still nothing shows in dev manager.
I have also updated my BIOS and made sure wireless is enabled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi
I agree with Lamp. The notebook should be tested with Toshiba Recover image which was preinstalled at the first day of purchase.
Usually if the Wlan card is not recognized in device manager, neither as an Ethernet controller nor as an unknown device, then this means that there must be an hardware problem.
But to be 100% sure about that, the factory reset is needed.
But I found 2 different Realtek Wlan drivers
[Realtek Wireless LAN Driver v 2.00.0006|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/file/download/resource/file/17443/tca0010300h.exe]

Try to install both drivers

I use a Mac OSX, Snow Leopard.
I've tried several different chargers with my iPod, but it wont show up on iTunes. iPhoto will come up and say it's synced, and the iPod itself will show that it is charging. But it wont show up on iTunes so I can listen to my music or add songs. This is random, and has never happened before.

Problem with VGA card

Hi,
I just bought an MSI 865 Neo2FISR MOBO and a Asus 9600 XT VGA card.
As someone said to me on this forum, i install first the intel INF files (april 2003 version)from the MSI CD. The screen was OK (only try with XP not with Games).
Next I install the Asus drivers and reboot the system. Since I've done that, my screen is complety black and i only can have XP in a special mode ("sans echec") in french.
2 days ago i instal first the Asus drivers, Direct X 9 and next the Intel INF and the result was the same.
Can someone Help Me ?
Thanks!
Configuration :
P 4 2.8 Gh HT
MSI 865 Pe neo 2FISR
Seagate 7200.7 120 Go
2*256 DDR 3200 Twin X LL Corsaire
Asus 9600 XT
XP Pro
Sony DVD Player
Pionneer DVD R 106 Burner
Screen : Hercule 920 Pro DVI

Try with ATI reference driver instead.

Require Sun AMD Server with VGA card = 16M - HELP

Hi everybody,
Right now, Sun has the AMD Servers: V40z, X4100, X4200.
These products are very good with high performance and quite cheap.
But I find out that the integrated VGA of all AMD Servers has only 8MB.
For my job, I need graphic card with at least 16MB.
Can I buy a VGA card with 16M/32M from Sun?
Tks a lot,

Joe's information is pointing to the correct direction.
1280x1024 at 32bit color depth needs less than 8MB of video RAM.
(... actually, less than 6MB)
Glance at this page at the P.C. Guide web site.
http://pcguide.com/ref/video/modesBuffer-c.html
The PCGUIDE.COM web site has been around since 1997 and I often find its information of value.
That video memory requirement link is a part of that web site's topic list.
http://pcguide.com/topic.html
I've saved the topic list as a bookmark, then use it to find
whatever sub-topic might be of interest-du-jour.
However, all those systems are servers, not desktop workstations.
You shouldn't need any remarkable graphics capabilities to administer them.
That's why there are no qualified graphics upgrade options.

MSI 845 Ultra C with sound card???

I recently bought a P4 2 Ghz with MSI 845 Ultra C, Geforce 4 Ti4200 128.
A few weeks later i bought a simple sound card with surround support. Now when i try to install this software (Xp compatible) i get the error that the sound card is not installed and that the data is incorrect. I use the latest drivers from the internet. I believe this problem had to do with the onboard sound card of the motherboard. Is there anyway i can disable that???

it is an XP bug, you might try windows update to see if MS fixed it.
Here is for example ATI's doumentation of the error.
I assume the bug won't be fixed by the update, so in that case you need to reinstall XP with the card already insalled in the slot.

Installation with an Elsa GLoria II VGA-card

Hi,
I use my system for professional purposes (mainly CAD) and just wanted to test the Solaris environment.
While installing Solaris (if setup is switching to X-mode) I get an blank screen and the installer asks for the type of my VGA-adapter which is not listet in the options.
What can I do, I am just an bloody unix-newby?
Marcy

Yes, you can use this VGA card as this mobo supports both 4x and 8x AGP VGA Cards. Please make sure that your card is running in 4x mode when used.
All the Best... :D!!!

Quiet cooling solutions on MSI's new RADEON X and GeForce 6 series VGA cards? Which is quietest?

Hi.
I am, like many people are at the moment I'd imagine, trying to find the ideal graphics solution for running Doom 3. Say what you will about it, but I've played it, and I for one want to get my hands on it in a bad way.
The problem is that my PC doubles as a crude workstation for digital recording, and my condensor mics tend to pick up even very faint sounds. My current system configuration is: P4 C 3.2GHz, ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe mobo, 1GB DDR400 in dual channel, WD 3.6GB Raptor SATA HDD for OS and apps, and two 120GB Maxtor drives in RAID 1 for audio data storage, and the weak link as I call it, my gaming-inept Matrox Millenium 64MB. (Great for work...terrible for games, as expected). All this is running in the Antec Sonata case, and boy is it ever silent. I have to turn off my supposedly silent air filtration system across the room just to hear the PSU fan lol. It's been very good to me.
Doom 3 is the only game I intend to run on this system, simply because, call me crazy, but I am an old school Doom level editing addict, and I actualy like the tight narrow repetitive cooridor style gameplay it lets me enjoy. Furthermore, using editors feels alot like tinkering with my audio software, a feeling I very much savor.
I was going to go for a HIS Excalibur X800 IceQ II because they are supposedly extremely quiet, but darned if I can find one for sale anywhere on the planet. Lol.
So, I have decided to turn to MSI, who have never let me down with respect to near-silence in the past with their VGA cooling solutions.
So my questions are:
1) The NX6800 128MB (non-ultra, non-GT variety) is very quiet from what I hear, when the fan is set to the (default) lowest setting. Does the NX6800GT or Ultra feature the same cooling solution, and is it just as quiet, nearly as quiet, or noticeably louder than the plain variety?
and
2) I have heard in general that the new RADEON cards are much quieter than the GeForce 6 series cards. Does this hold true for MSI's X800 cards as well, and is the RX800 XT as quiet or quieter than the NX6800 or NX6800GT, etc. ?
Note that I care more about silence than performance. I would be perfectly happy running Doom 3 at 1024x768 at medium or even low settings, as long as I can keep the framerate smooth. I'm not very picky.
I would be truly grateful for anyone's assistance in this matter. Thanks very much in advance.

Thanks for the reply and the info.
Yes, they do run much quieter in 2D. But are there any decible readings anywhere on the net for the stock X800 PRO cooler (in 2d or otherwise)? I ask this because, let's face it, most reviewers tend to focus on the performance rather than the decible levels (as long as the noise level is tollerable to them, they usualy give scores without going into much detail about how loud or silent something is), and being quieter than the competing products doesn't neccesarily mean it's truly quiet.
Basicaly, by quiet, I mean so quiet that it would be hard to hear it unless I get closer than two feet to the tower, and even then, rather faint or even inaudible unless I actualy put my ear up to the tower. My mics are that sensitive. Is the X800 Pro that quiet with the stock reference cooler? I'm thinking it probably isn't, but I could be wrong. The Toxic Pro of course is more than quiet enough, but I have some concerns there.
I would prefer the X800 XT or, at the very least, the plain 6800 128MB, as they both (even the 128MB normal 6800) score higher consistently in Doom 3 benchmarks than the normal X800 Pro (not overclocked). While I'd prefer a 256MB card over a 128MB one, and Sapphire using the VGA Silencer on their Toxic Pro is a nice touch, that card overclocks the memory freq, which is a no-no with Doom 3 from what I've heard. Doom 3 doesn't like overclocked cards, as John carmack said, and that seems to be true given that I've heard lots of people complaining of artifacts with even moderately overclocked cards, be it the memory or core frequency. I could, of course, just not use the "A.P.E." functionality, and run it at stock X800 Pro speed, and with the silence on the Toxic Pro it would be great...but then why not just get the higher performing 128MB 6800 for roughly the same price or less?
See my dilema? Lol.
Idealy, I'm hoping MSI's X800 XT or their GT or Ultra versions of the 6800 will have quiet cooling solutions. If they do, then it would save me alot of work making up my mind. No overclocking, guaranteed stability, total (or near total) silence, and guaranteed to handle Doom 3 (atleast fairly well... like I said, I'm not too picky), and I wouldn't feel short changed on performance either. As it stands now though, unless I can confirm whether or not they do, I'm going to have to settle for their standard (but extremely quiet) 6800 128MB.
Any further thoughts (anyone?) given the above considerations? Thanks again. I really appreciate it. Good idea on the Toxic Pro, just perhaps not ideal for my situation.

MSI FX 5700 Ultra problem with linux

Hi,
I know that linux are not officially suported by MSI VGA cards, but NVIDIA based VGA cards use to work under linux. I've got a problem with a recent purchase and until now I didn't found any answer.
Here is my problem, if anyone here have an idea :
I recently upgraded my video card Geforce 2 MX to a Geforce FX 5700 Ultra from MSI (FX 5700 Ultra TD128).
I've an Athlon XP 2000,
motherboard Gigabyte GA-7VAXP, 512 Mb,
distrib Mandrake 9.2
latest nvidia driver 5328
At startup after installation, Mandrake detected a new hardware, but it was not the right card name. The video test failed and X (graphic mode) didn't start.
Back to console mode, I discovered that even the console mode doesn't work properly : I have no cursor and the screen lines don't scroll up when the screen gets full (very hard to type commands or edit files).
I checked the XF86Config-4 : for me it seems ok. Actually, it didn't change from the previous card.
I've no errors in the XFree log (no lines with (EE)).
I went to the MSI site to look for a newer bios version, but there is'nt.
I tried both DVI and VGA connection with my LCD monitor, same thing.
I also tried running Knoppix (liveCD distrib), same prob.
I pasted below the message i've got on screen when I try to start X manually (this doesn't help much either) :
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
It seems to me that this graphic card simply doesn't work under linux.
Thanks a lot for any help.

To get X to work with your LCD during the installation process append nofb as one of the installation options.
I have a 17" LCD so you might like to compare the relevant sections in your XF86Config with these:
Section "Module"
   Load "dbe"
   Load "extmod"
   Load "fbdevhw"
   Load "glx"
Load "dri"
   Load "record"
   Load "freetype"
   Load "type1"
EndSection
(The Load "dri" gets removed prior to installing nvidia's Forceware drivers.)
Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "Monitor0"
   VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
   ModelName "CML174SX"
   DisplaySize 340   270
   HorizSync 24.0 - 80.0
   VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0
   Option    "dpms"
EndSection

VGA card - 2nd display

Hi!
I recently bought and installed on my PC a new VGA graphic card — MSI RX9550-TD256 TV Out/DVI - AGP.
I connected the VGA output to the PC monitor, install the drives and it’s working fine on the PC monitor. So far, so good.
I then connected the DVI card output to the VGA input of my LCD TV via a DVI cable with a DVI/VGA adapter; I changed the display properties settings for the second monitor (the TV) according to its supported max resolution (in my case 1024x768, 60Hz) but when I select the respective (VGA) input on the TV to see the PC picture, I can see nothing but the blue screen.
Am I missing something? Do I need any other special adapter/cable?
I appreciate if anyone could help me with this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Mário

Dear Richard,
Yes, I did it, but it doesn't work anyway.
It's a pity that we cannot attach files to the posts; otherwise I would send you a "print-screen" of the Display Properties just for you to see if it's all correct.
Thanks anyway.
