I know it's not the best answer, but use a 32bit chroot?

I suggest trying a couple linux native 3D games to see how they perform. Quake4 demo, Enemy Territory, UT2K4 demo, etc.

The first thing that pops out at me is you are running AGP. Take a look at the following wiki, specifically the section about AGPVertexRam.

Have you tried any linux native games? Wondering if this is a Wine/Cedega only problem...

Also, what's the rest of your system specs?

Confirmed going ~amd64 or ~x86 with vmware-workstation works as well -- the unstable ebuild applies a similar any-any patch during emerge -- vmware-any-any-update99 as opposed to the one I linked vmware-any-any-update101.

Thanks for the tip sedorox!

Thanks Tiger for this kernel patch, running GREAT here! :D

@dA_CyANIDe, I had the same problem with VMware even when trying the replacement tars provided.
Just fixed it by applying the following update I found in the VMware Forums:

I threw together a portage overlay of the latest ati-drivers that work on my system running this kernel. Simply uncompress the archive in /usr/local/portage then emerge ati-drivers. If you don't have portage overlay setup yet, it's an option in /etc/make.conf.

Here's the link:

thanks for the tip. but i am root all the time. that should mean that also my profiles and .bashrc is used, or should be used always i call a bash.
Also i understand the " run command as a login shell" option in gnome-terminal will load my shell as it would be a login shell, and this should also ...

I have the same problem. The only way I've found to fix it is to Ctrl-Alt-F1 out to console, then Alt-F7 back.
Odd part is I tried to take a screenshot of my own to show the corruption and the weirdness doesn't show up with either Gimp or scrot!

I'm running the fglrx 3.14.6 drivers on my ATI 9800 ...

That did the trick, thanks.

I already have 'media-video/ati-drivers ~x86' in /etc/portage/package.keywords. Everytime I try to do an emerge -uDav world, portage wants to downgrade my ati-drivers from 3.14.6 to 3.14.1. What am I missing?

thanks,

/edit typo

Dunno if it's simply a typo in your post, but the mode should be specified as follows:
1280x1024@85
or you can specify the colour depth like so:
1280x1024-32@85

If you want to use a mode other than the default, here's what my kernel paramaters look like:
kernel=/2.6.9-rc2-love4 video=vesafb ...

I too had serious slow down issues with this release...simply unraring a bin/cue made my system crawl till it was finished. I've backed down to nitro4 as its been the fastest of the 2.6.8 releases for me thusfar.
I'm planning on messing with the vm settings later tonite and will report my results ...

Ok, so I have experianced this problem before using a VIA-chipset motherboard with SATA. That motherboard had so many other flaws that i got it changed to a nForce anyway.

Now with the 2.6.2-love1 kernel I get interrupt lost when booting without the "ACPI=off" parameter. This does not happen with ...

finally found the real culprit, the new acpi patch in mm2 is what was causing the problem, it kept giving errors about i8xxx(don't remember the numbers i know it has something to do with the ps/2 mouse port) and disabling interrupt 12 and also the siimage lost interrupt problem. Now that all that ...

I think Wedge found half your problem -- you need to toggle off DRM support. What I normally do is leave the [*] next to Direct Rendering Manager but simply don't make a selection below it. :)

The "Sync out of range (180hz)" error is probably due to your selection of the Radeon frame buffer driver ...

what about moving from 2.6.0 to say 2.6.1.....ie can i simply use my *.config that i used in 2.6.0 for 2.6.1?

is it compatible or is that a no no? if not it's a bummer as i cant remember half the options i seletced for 2.6.0, and am too lazy to write them down!

Simply copy the .config file from ...

After you copied in your old .config, did you run "make oldconfig" before "make all && make modules_install" ?

If you didn't that's likely to be your problem...

~J0rus

I was getting that SCSI error as well. Went back and looked at the sr.c code from previous 2.6.1_r2-love1 and it showed

} else

on line 801.
Manually added the above and got a clean complie. Haven't tested the functionality as of yet, but the kernel boots fine and loads the sr module without ...

First off, thanks for all the hard work on this patchset! Tis certainly the best 2.6 kernel I've run!

I have a nagging problem tho, was hoping someone could help:

According to HP/Compaq, your PC uses the ESS 1869/1887/1888 chipset for sound (ALSA module snd-es18xx). It is using the ISA Bus, so you need to

emerge isapnptools

Search the forums for further help on forcing ISA PNP hardware to particular i/o, irq. and dma settings.

I use mencoder which is part of the mplayer package. Here's a simple script I use to record shows:

Check out /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf

Change this:

# Disable some video formats
#enable-real=0


To this:

# Disable some video formats
enable-real=1


Now check your Mozilla/Firebird plugins by typing about:plugins in the address window. You should see realaudio etc associated with mplayerplug ...

did you forget to re-emerge the ati-drivers after that last kernel compile?

fglrxconfig
modprobe fglrx

Try those two commands after emerge ati-driver
Does the fglrx module load ok? Check with lsmod

The problem is right there in your glxinfo report, 2nd line. You should have direct rendering enabled.


If the above suggestions don't get you any closer, we're probably ...
