Video Problem x will not start

Background: I have a STACK of SuperMicro computers with X7SBi-LN4 motherboards. The manual lists the video as ATI ES1000 (which I think is PCI) but the new Motherboard Matrix on the site lists the video as Matrox G200e (which I think is AGP). Lovely. When I do a prtconf I see vendor-id: 102b, device-id: 532 and the vendor-id resolves to Matrox but the device-id does not come up in PCIDatabase.com so I feel unsure about that too - but I did find a reference on a Linux site for a Matrox MGA G200e with a device id 522 rather than the 532 and they had (limited) success with the Xorg MGA driver (it failed memory detection). I have these machines moved into production as text consoles, and admittedly the first thing I do when I get into a machine is bring up a console window and that is where I do my work - but I have some applications that want to run graphically.
Question: I continually get a graphical login failure and it reverts to text mode console no matter what driver I use, MGA or the vesa driver. I suspect it is a mismatch (or missing) vendor/device id. How do I get the graphical login and desktop to run?

Yes. I tried the MGA and the vesa driver and it still goes back to the text login and console. Funny thing is that I can do a video control and change the color of the font - but I get no joy on the graphical interface!

  • Mac OSX sofware update problems-computer will not start-up any more

    Hello
    I am having problems & I cannot get back into my computer. It won't complete the start up & just has the grey apple in the middle of the white screen and nothing else.
    I have an iBook G4 with Tiger on it - I am not sure which version of Mac OS X I was on when I did the software update but the one I was on last year when I came to this forum was 10.4.8 & I think I have updated it a few times since then so it was probably as I was attempting to install 10.4.11 as I do not have Leopard yet.
    The problem began when I did the Mac OSX update that it told me about in software update & when it had completed the update it said I needed to restart my computer which I did & ever since then it will not completely re-boot. (Like I said it just has the white screen/grey apple before it gives the option of who you want to login as).
    It seems as though other people have been having similar problems after installing Mac OSX software updates but I cannot find anything here in the forum that solves my problems (or at least not that I can understand at th moment...!)
    I need to access things off my computer & can't. Not everything on there was backed up as I had been working on things that day/week. I also don't know how to access my files from another computer (the ones I am trying to connect from does not have tiger it is a PowerBook G4 & it has Mac OSX 10.3.9 on it).
    Does anyone know the reason for this problem & how to access files from another computer via an etheret cable in OSX. I know someone who says it was a lot easier to connect computers before Mac OSX days but now it seems really difficult. The only way to start up my iBook G4 is using the Mac OSX install disk & I have tried to verify & repair hard disk permissions using disk utility that comes on the disk as well as verifying & repairing the actual disk but this has not fixed the problem.
    I am hoping that I will be able to at least access my files & copy them over to be backed up before I do an erase & install of Mac OSX from the disks. But I am unsure of how to connect my iBook the PowerBook G4 I am on right now. Please help if you know how!
    Thanks,
    Jazamin

    This just worked for my by connecting my other PPC computer to my G5.

    Go down to the other link and follow the same instructions.
    You must start up the good computer and shut down the frozen one. Connect via firewire and then hold down the T key while you start the frozen one.
    It will show up on your good one, and then install the combo on the frozen one.
    Hold down the power key on that computer to shut it down, disconnect and then start up again.
    Good luck

  • Power switch problems (computer will not start)?

    When I woke up this morning my (new) computer refused to start, it worked fine yesterday. Since the LED on the PSU was on I figured that it was something wrong with the power button. I switched places of the reset and power button on the mobo and the computer booted fine one (1) time, but wouldn't start the second time i tried.
    Any idea of what could be wrong?
    Computer:
    Mobo:
    MSI P965 Platinum
    CPU:
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2,13GHz
    Memory:
    Corsair TWIN2X, 6400 DDR2, 2048MB
    HDD:
    Samsung SpinPoint SP2504C 250GB
    GPU:
    Sapphire Radeon X1950PRO 256MB GDDR3
    Chassis:
    Cooler Master Mystique 631
    PSU:
    Hiper Type-R 530W

    Check all power connections from PSU to Mainboard and components. 
    -JPWR1 (24pin)
    -JPWR2 (8pin)
    -JPWR3 (4pin)
    Check power connection your X1950PRO (6pin)
    If that doesn't help, clear CMOS and try again.

  • I am trying to download a video from the BBC iplayer and the downloader helper will not start. How can I solve this problem

    I am trying to download video from the BBC iplayer and the download helper will not start. How do I get it to start?

    No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
    "This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
    Configure conversion ?"
    And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

  • I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

    i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
    my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
    i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
    i am sure there is a simple way round this?
    thanks guys!

    I tried to restart my iPad due to problems with a Pinterest app that took up a lot of storage in the cache...now the apple logo comes up but will not start...it has recently been charged

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

    That screen means it has entered recovery mode and you must use the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to connect to a computer running iTunes.  In summary:

    Snow Leopard is a Mac OS X version. You say that it's the version you have in your Mac (10.6.8). Do a back up of your files, format the hard drive (using Disk Utility) and reinstall again
