I just finished a week long session with my D610 and I believe I have everything working the way I want. I have the ati drivers installed and working with direct rendering, and just finished up setting up wireless and minor power management options. I have still two issues remaining and i no one of them is ATI's issue.
1. ATI drivers and the lack of or not implemented support for Xineram extensions.
This drives me nuts that they do not have this working. Since I use a docking station at work I would love to take advantage of the "Big Desktop" mode but it is useless when you maximize windows and they streach across the display or start in the middle of the split screens. I wish Dell would let you select an NVidia video card grr.
2. This is what I am looking for help on. I have a docking station as mentioned before and for some reason I can not get any audio through put while the system is in the docking station. I am not exactly sure why but I believe it has something to do with it detecting the docking stations ability to handle audio and setting up a seperate audio device. If this is the case I am not intimate enough to know where to point the system to use that audio device instead of the default one. So any help here would be greatly appreciated.
All in all the laptop is ok I still think Dell could do better but it serves my business purposes and I guess that what matters in the end right?
Thanks in advance for any more insight or recommendations on my audio road block. |

Majumbu, can't help you, i don't have a docking station (but after some weeks of use, i wish i had.. darn cables! )
Concerning graphics driver, i just tried linux-2.6.14-rc2 and now i have 250 fps in glx gears (i had 160 with linux-2.6.12-suspend2-r4) with my i915.
Not perfect, but better.
But, i'm still unable to play videos on VGA output (mplayer gives a blue screen) and cloned mode (VGA+LCD) gives a really ugly picture on VGA output (but normal one on LCD).
If anyone has tips about this one...
edit : corrected typo

Have you considered giving a try to Getting DRI working with Intel Sonoma?

Hi everyone.
I've basically got my barebones gentoo system up and running on my Latitude D610. However, I'd like the console screen resolution to be higher than it currently is (not X, the actual console). When I boot from the installation cd, for example, all the fonts are nice and small. However, if I boot from the custom kernel that I built the fonts are huge and ugly.
The graphics card is the Intel 915. I made sure to compile support for the 915 into the kernel (intelfb).
I've tried passing many combinations of vga=0x318 and video=vesafb/video=intelfb to the kernel during boot. However, the result is always the same.
Thanks in advance for the help. |

here is my grub.conf line:
| Code: |
ernel (hd0,1)/kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 root=/dev/sda6 vga=0x343 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,vram=64 splash=silent,fadein,theme:crystal quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
|
That gives me 1400x1050 framebuffer
make sure that you have vesafb compiled into the kernel, NOT as a module.

Thanks for the reply. I realized that while I had compiled support for intelfb into the kernel I did not compile support for vesafb into the kernel. Now it works. However, is there any way I could make the fonts on the framebuffer even smaller. The reason is that I plan to spend a lot of time on the console and I'd like for there to be as much info on one line as possible. Plus, this SXGA+ LCD should definitely be able to handle it.
Thanks again. |

ATI drivers suck. Period. I gave up make them work nicely in all configurations. Instead, I created 2 Xorg configurations and use one (with xorg radeon drivers) for work environment, and ATI configuration when I feel like playing games.
radeon drivers support xinerama just fine and even allow to have different resolution on both heads.

That is most likely issue with the window manager you are using and not with the drivers... I think . Anyway, I use one of the window managers that has issue like that and I just start 2 Xorg sessions, one on each screen. Works well, the only problem is that I can't move windows between the screens. I can live with that though. YMMV.

Same here. I have a port replicator, not a full scale docking station, but the issue is the same -- no audio coming through the docking station port. If you make it work... let me know. |

Which one is DVI output? 15-hole connector or S-video out connector?
If first, yes it works fine with radeon and not so good with ATI drivers. I can post my xorg.conf or email it to you if that's what you need. I never tried s-video output with this laptop though. |

Ok, so who has their DRI enabled with the Mobility Radeon X300? I've noticed some people have... But no real detailes besides installing the latest ATI drivers.
EDIT: Oh, the drivers on ATI's website are newer than those in the Portage tree. |

After testing I can tell you. I'm using Gentoo sources 2.6.13-r3 and vesa-tng. When my computer boots console font is as small as to use the highest possible resolution and I have a 1280x1024 screen. I booted up with no kernel argument at all, just the usual root=/dev/hdax. Maybe it's worth the try. Note I think that behaviour also occured with a 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 kernel.

Of course DRI is enabled, otherwise what's the point installing ati drivers at all. Save your xorg.conf and run fglrxconfig. It should create an xorg file for fglrx driver.

You probably have ati-drivers-extra installed that keeps uninstalling the latest ati-drivers if you do 'emerge world' |

1) nothing into GRAPHICS SUPPORT (only frame buffer support), I use ati-drivers
2) into CHARACTER DEVICES I have:

You are not alone. Looks like ATI people broke it in the last update as it was working just fine in the previous version. Thus, I use ATI drivers only to play games and radeon xorg driver to work. Not ideal but works for me. |

Hi!
Yesterday I installed my gentoo system, but I must be made a mistake in my kernel configuration, because it gives me a kernel panic when it wants to mount the root partition. It gives me an unknown-block(0,0) error.
I think I did not configured well ATA and SATA in my config. Is it enough to set under SCSI the SATA option, or I should set some modules also in ATA/ATAPI/MLM options?
May I ask anyone of you to send me your kernel config file?
What vesafb is better for ATI X300? VESAFB or VESAFB-TNG?
Thanks for help. |

I use vesafb, but only cause i have had better results with getting the resoultion I want from it... I am gonna give TNG a shot tho soon.

It depends on whether your graphics card is fully VESA (2 or 3?) compliant. Vesa-tng is much smarter for it - theoretically - allows you to take profit from non-standard resolutions like 16/10 (i.e. wide screens). It also alllows you to select the refresh rate.
If you have a 4/3 screen ratio, vesa-tng is the best choice. Don't add ATI framebuffer support, use only the generic support. If ATI frambuffer support is added you might have either a corrupt screen or no image at all.

Finally!!!
I had set up my Gentoo. Damn! I thought that I configured my SATA/ATAPI improperly, but no, the source of kernel panic was other.
My partition scheme is the following:
| Code: |
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 12 96358+ de Dell Utility
/dev/sda2 13 110 787185 6 FAT16
/dev/sda3 * 111 1417 10498477+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 1418 9729 66766140 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 1418 3378 15751701 b W95 FAT32
/dev/sda6 3379 3395 136521 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 3396 5888 20024991 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 5889 9605 29856771 83 Linux
/dev/sda9 9606 9729 995998+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
|
So my boot partition is sda6 and root partition is sda7.
Unfortunatelly I did not knew that by default the kernel cannot mount/access such an extended partition (which is "so far away"). After searching in the Gentoo Forum I found out, that I should set the following kernel module:
| Code: |
File systems --->
Partition Types --->
[*] Advanced partition selection
[*] PC BIOS (MSDOS partition tables) support
|
After recompiling the kernel, amazingly it mounted the root partition well. So I took off al the ATA/ATAPI/MLM modules from the kernel. SCSI is enough.
I set up also the VESAFB-TNG module. It works pretty well in 1400x1050 (1400x1050@60) resolution. It realy nice to have a console with so many columns and lines. )
Now I have to install Xorg and ati-drivers.
What about the SMC IrCC - Fast Infrared Port? Did anybody set this up?
Thank you guys for your help, this forum is realy great. |

This problem is fixed. ATI also claims that system lock up on resume is fixed, but I didn't try it yet.
Interesting part is, it seems ATI would fix problems promptly if you create a tech support case on their website. All the problems I submitted there were fixed! Maybe they just don't get enough feedback from the users? |
