What driver to use for an ATI Radeon HD 3200?

Hello.  I've been trying to get this damn ATI card to work but can't seem to figure it out.  I've tried the 8.8 drivers in the core repository -and- the 8.11 drivers in the testing repository and neither work.  Is there a stable driver that I can use to make this work before I take a sledgehammer to this machine???   One thing I have learned is that I will NEVER buy an ATI product again.

I have an ATI HD 3100, and the one from testing works pefectly (along with the new X server).
The older one in core works okay, too, but has some annoying quirks and occasionally locks my system up.
If it helps, this is my xorg.conf:

  • Trying to install Video driver to use for my ATI 3870

    I play Enemy Territory and I am pretty sure I need to install the ATI driver s0 I downloaded an ATI driver from the ATI AMD webite but then I read something about not using the ATI installer an to use the Arch installer if this is the driver I am supposed to use how do I install it using the Arch installer? I read this
    Obtain the PKGBUILD and fglrx.install files from CVS or ABS. Either:
        * Visit http://www.archlinux.org/packages/12877/ and click "View CVS Entries" to find them
    the link is dead 
    ( by the way I am using 64bit Arch)
    instructions say;
    *  Run abs as root and locate the files in /var/abs/extra/catalyst.
    [edit] Editing the PKGBUILD and building
    Three changes need to be made here:
    First, change
       pkgname=catalyst
    to
       pkgname=catalyst-KERNEL_NAME
    where KERNEL_NAME is whatever you want (e.g. custom, mm, themostawesomekernelever)
    Second, remove kernel26 from the dependencies list.
    Third, change
       _kernver=${_kernel_version}-ARCH
    to
       _kernver=`uname -r`
    so I go to try this but first I had to install ABS I installed ABS and then try to run it
    sudo abs
    ==> Starting ABS sync...
    rsync: failed to connect to rsync.archlinux.org: Connection refused (111)
    rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [receiver=3.0.2
    only to get that error

    Ok, I think I understand the problem.  You have a very recent video card, and back in the days of gutsy, the catalyst driver that shipped with ubuntu didn't support your card (or maybe it had a poor support) for your video card.  So ubuntu either installed a poor catalyst driver for your card or installed the open source version which had better support (at first) for your video card (but lacked 3d acceleration as mentioned above).  However, the catalyst driver in the repo support your video card (ATI says so):  https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/ … linux.html.
    So pacman -S catalyst will install the catalyst and its dependency catalyst-utils.  It will also install a newer kernel 2.6.25.  After the driver installs, you are going to have to set it up.
    The following links showed help
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Composite
    You may have screen corruption problems or other minor video problems and you will need to tweak your xorg.conf file (this is going to require google and frequent system restarts or X11 restarts via ctr+alt+backspace).  Again, you maybe be lucky and you might not have to do the last part, it all depends
    thanks I am used to messing around with the Xorg file just no in Arch

  • HT201250 How do I find out what portable drive was the drive I used for Time Machine Backup?

    Hi, I have 10.7.4 and need to figure out what drive I was using for Time Machine Backup.  I have three drives and I have connected each of them to my macbook pro, but I get an error, "Time Machine Error, The backup disk is not available" when I hit the time machine icon on the top of the screen and the "backup delayed" prompt.  If I try Back up Now I get message, "Time Machine could not complete the backup.  Back up disk is not available."  I am trying to figure out what the time machine back up would actually look like as a file on the drives but I don't see a folder/file name Time Machine.  If I enter Time Machine I can see in the far right column, in purple, the last back up date (Sept. 12, 2012), but when I hit it nothing happens.  In the Time Machine preference box the select disk has, in red and to the right, "Delayed" with an "i" within a circle, and the option indicates, "Next backup: when disk is connected."
    I know I have a years worth of backups on one of the three drives, but I can't figure out how the heck to find them or how to determine what was the last drive I used for the backups within Time Machine.  Help please.

  • What are the uses for Macbook pro and Macbook air?

    Hi! I am deciding between MBA and MBP and need to know what the different uses for each one was. Like what would you use the MBA for and what would you use the MBP for?? All opinions welcome!!

    They're actually pretty comparible in what they can do if you're talking about the base model of both (say 13") with 4GB RAM. At that level, the Pro has the advantage if you're going to watch or burn DVD's or CD's, as the Air has no optical drive. But otherwise, they're pretty much the same--full-sized, backlit keyboard, camera, beautiful screen, etc. If you're going for more than a basic 13" Pro, then things start to change. For example, you can get up to 8GB RAM on the Pro, and a huge hard drive, you can also get a 15" or 17" size. You will be paying a lot for these, but, obviously, if you're going to be working on, say, making videos (which you may then want burn onto disk) the Pro is very much what you'll want.
    However, if you don't need or want any of that--if, for example, you plan to do the usual programs (word processing, games, web surfing, music, etc.), then you really won't see much difference between the two. At 4GB RAM and a 13" screen, the big difference is going to be thickness and weight, not power. And in this the Air will have the advantage--it's really amazingly slim, light and with a SSD, faster (you pay extra--a lot extra--to get SSD on the Pro).
    Just to make the point, I switched from a 13" Pro to an 11" Air. My hard drive size is half what it was with a Pro, but I was barely taking up half of that amount on the Pro, and so have plenty of room on my 128GB Air (you can get 256GB for the 11" if you order it online). Absolutely everything my Pro did, my Air does (sans optical drive), only faster and lighter and more compact--meaning it takes up less table space, slips in and out of my bag faster, balances on my lap easier, etc. But there was no interruption of service--I switched pretyt seamlessly from 13" Pro to 11" Air.
    The Pro offers you more options for power, screen size, HD size and optical drive. But it's really pretty surprising how few of us need that much power, that much room, or the optical drive. It's very freeing to realize that less can be more than enough.

  • What driver to use?

    What driver to use?Hey All,
    I have been using the default Creative drivers since I got my X-FI Titanium a couple months ago. Overall I have had a good experience with them but I am finally tired of the random cracking/distortion that I get every once in a while when my computer has been for awhile that forces me to reboot.
    So I am wanting to try out some moded drivers. I am a little unsure on which one is the best to go with. So far I have all of these downloaded:
    Daniel_K X-FI Support Pack 2.0
    Daniel_K X-FI Install Disc .0
    Robertmc8 X-FI PAX Audio Suite DVD 200 V2.0
    Robertmc8 X-FI?PAX Driver V3.0
    Now I know that the last is just the driver while the other three all suites with all the applications. So I am assuming that the 3. driver is just a updated one to use with this DVD Suite. So what are your guys opinions on these drivers and which is the best to go with? I primarily play games on my computer but I watch a lot of online videos and listen to music from time to time if that hel
    ps.
    Please let know me what you guys think. Thanks for your time!

  • What is this used for ??

    I see this document that seems to be related to RAID.
    But what files is that referring to ??
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=686&kind=1
    Manual :  RAID_Floppy.zip

    Quote from: DaveR on 27-July-06, 17:57:58
    I don't have your board or chipset but this is my understanding: The floppy contains drivers so that windows can see a raid array.  If sata is enabled in bios and you are not doing raid (i.e single disk) then you can install windows without the drivers.
    If your sata drive will be a single storage only drive then go to disk management in windows to partition the drive - you have alluded to this in a previous thread where I posted a similar response.  The hard drive icon will then appear in 'My Computer'.
    Good luck.
    Problem is that my SATA data drive was not showned in XP or system management. I have installed an hour ago the "VIA PIDE/SATA RAID Drivers & Utility"; and just after the restart, without doing anything, my SATA HD has been recognized.
    But I still do not know what the "VIA VT8237(R) SATA RAID Driver (For floppy driver)" is used for ... and if it is used to make a floppy, when that floppy should be used ?
    this is just for my understanding, since my "problem" is resolved.

    Those look alot like file names and not infection names. I don't find any reference to anything like that on Norton or VirusTotal. Since you said these were Trojans, I would expect to see "Trojan" as part of the infection name.
    ".jar" files are executable Java applets. The random alpha-numerics would seem to indicate a cache file, likely from a browser with Java enabled. And we all know what ".zip" means.
    Worst case is that you had Java enabled in a browser and were infected by one of the late variants of the Flashback Trojan over a year ago or one of a couple of other attacks using the same vulnerability but targetted against a small number of political sympathizers. Much more probable is that thes were Windows only Trojans. Hopefully you have a fully up-to-date OS X, including Java, and have disabled Java in all your browsers by now.

  • What is the use for CREATING VIEW WITH CHECK OPTION?

    Dear Legends,
    I have a doubt
    What is the use for creating view?
    A: First Data Integrity, Selecting Particular Columns..
    What is the use for creating a view with check option?
    A: As per oracle manual I read that its a referential integrity check through views.
    A: Enforcing constraints at DB level.
    A: using CHECK OPTION we can do INSERTS UPDATES for a view for those columns who have no constraints... is it right??
    A: If we do a INSERT OR UPDATE for columns who have constraints it will show error... is it right???
    Please clear my doubt's Legends
    Lots of Thanks....

    Hi, Karthick,
    karthiksingh_dba wrote:
    ... What is the use for creating view?
    A: First Data Integrity, Selecting Particular Columns..Most views are created and used for convenience. A view is a saved query. If the same operations are often done, then it can be very convenient to code those operations once, in a view, and refer to the view rather than explicitly doing those operations.
    Sometimes, views are created and used for security reasons. For example, you many want to allow some users to see only certain rows or certain columns of a table.
    Views are necessary for INSTEAD OF triggers.
    What is the use for creating a view with check option?
    A: As per oracle manual I read that its a referential integrity check through views.The reason is integrity, not necessarily referential integrity. The CHECK option applies only when DML is done through the view. It prohibits certain changes. For example, if a user can't see certain rows through a view, the CHECK option keeps the user from creating such rows.
    A: Enforcing constraints at DB level.I'm not sure what you mean. Please give an example.
    A: using CHECK OPTION we can do INSERTS UPDATES for a view for those columns who have no constraints... is it right??No. Using CHECK OPTION, you can do some inserts and updates, but not others. The columns involved may or may not have constraints in either case.
    A: If we do a INSERT OR UPDATE for columns who have constraints it will show error... is it right???If you try to violate a constraint, you'll get an error. That happens in views with or without the CHECK OPTION, and also in tables.

  • What is a cache monitoring? and what it is used for?

    what is a cache monitoring? and what it is used for? how safe it is to execute the transaction RSRCACHE in development?
    Thank you,
    York

    Hi Les,
    Cache is a temporary storage for recently accessed data.
    Used to enhance query performance.
    Use t-code RSRT to view more on cache.
    Please see this link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/41/b987eb1443534ba78a793f4beed9d5/content.htm
    Cache helps to improve query performance. As it can save data in memory, flatfile, cluster table or BLOB.
    You can remove cache per query or inactivate it for perticular info provider or inactivate it overall.
    But which is not recommended. Yes if u know that certain queries you dont use often and its not accessing large number of records then you can inactivate it for those queries. you can manage cache via three t-codes RSRT or RSRCACHE or SPRO>SAP Reference IMG>SAP Busines Wearhouse--> Reporting relevent setting -->General Reporting Setting in BEX -->Global Cache Setting.
    please follow the link which has few good documents on cache. which will clear your complete concept for cache.
    https://service.sap.com/bi -->Product information previous releases -->BI InfoIndex --> OLAP --> you will get bunch of documents in that.
    Look at the following threads :

    Grab is an app to take screenshots of your display. When you open it, you won't see any window, but you will see that Grab shows up on the menu bar. Just select the "Capture" menu and choose the option you want.
    Apart from that, you can take screenshots without using Grab, just with these shortcuts:
    - Command, Shift and 3 keys > take a screenshot of the whole display.
    - Command, Shift and 4 keys > take a screenshot of the part you want.

    What is NTFS used for?
    How does it work?

    It's the standard Windows file system.
    During installation, the Microsoft Windows installer asks me to format the Windows partition using NTFS or FAT. Which should I use?
    If the partition is 32 GB or smaller, you can use either FAT or NTFS. If it's larger than 32 GB, or you are installing Microsoft Vista, then you can only format it using NTFS. Mac OS X can read and write FAT volumes, but only read NTFS volumes. Refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation if you are not sure which best suits your needs.
