Morrowind has terrible lag/framerate issues, but I'm suspecting my ATi drivers to blame

-------
0. open a terminal
1. su as root
then
2. fuser -km /mnt/cdrom
(this will kill all the proceses which are making your cdrom busy)
3. umount /mnt/cdrom
(this unmounts the unclean mount)
4. mount /mnt/cdrom
(remounts the cdrom and all should be fine now)
take notice!
If the processes you kill are OS critical, then your X and keyboard will freeze. You'll probably have to restart.
This happens sometimes, however that is rare.
g'luck!

Hey,
some games with Cedega run very slowly in 24bit colours,
and in transgaming forums I've found it many times adviced to run X in 16bit mode.
If I change the XF86Config-4 to run X in 16bit (the ATi drivers are made for 24bit) is there a good chance I destroy my X or anything else?
True, I can find it for myself, but I'm writing a paper for work now and don't want to risk be left without OOffice for too long.
I'm just curious. Has anybody tried to force-run ATi drivers in 16bit mode?

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.3-16mdk' cp -f vmmon.ko ./../vmmon.o make: Leaving directory `/root/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only' Unable to make a vmmon module that can be loaded in the running kernel: insmod: error inserting '/root/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon.o': -1 Unknown symbol in module There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want to rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory. For more information on how to troubleshoot module-related problems, please visit our Web site at "http://www.vmware.com/download/modules/modules.html" and "http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/linux/prebuilt_modules_linux.html".

what now?
Q: Why does vmware-config.pl report "There is probably a light difference of kernel configuration between the set of C header files you specified and your running kernel"?
A: This error message is displayed when the configuration program successfully builds custom VMware Workstation modules but they are incompatible with your running kernel. This happens when there is a mismatch between your running kernel and the directory of header files. Some distribution vendors ship a directory of header files that exhibits this problem. We encourage them to fix it. In the meantime, please consider recompiling your Linux kernel. This is the only way to ensure that the directory of header files will match your Linux kernel exactly.
I should probably go back to the 2.6-7

ok, the new kernel is running now
-
ok, I typed in 4
and now it is downloading it
I'm a bit nervous when it comes to kernels :ph34r:
-
I tried to type "update" and this is what I got
[root@localhost]# urpmi --update kernel One of the following packages is needed: 1- kernel-enterprise-2.4.25.8mdk-1-1mdk.i586 2- kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.4.25.8mdk-1-1mdk.i586 3- kernel-2.4.25.8mdk-1-1mdk.i586 4- kernel-2.6.3.16mdk-1-1mdk.i586 5- kernel-enterprise-2.6.3.16mdk-1-1mdk.i586 6- kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.6.3.16mdk-1-1mdk.i586 7- kernel-p3-smp-64GB-2.4.25.8mdk-1-1mdk.i586 8- kernel-secure-2.6.3.16mdk-1-1mdk.i586 9- kernel-smp-2.6.3.16mdk-1-1mdk.i586 10- kernel-p3-smp-64GB-2.6.3.16mdk-1-1mdk.i586 11- kernel-smp-2.4.25.8mdk-1-1mdk.i586 What is your choice? (1-11)
does it mean I have to get a kernel package now?
I'm a bit confused
-
it doesn't me give this option
[root@localhost]# urpmi kernel Everything already installed
how do I get to the option?

hey there!
A few days ago using the Mandrake Update I installed the kernel 2.6.-16 source,
but now, when trying to install VMware (in the configuration) I get this message
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-2.6.3-16mdk/include The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.3-16mdk) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.3-7mdk). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel. What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
so maybe my new kernel doesn't get booted on the boot and I need to create a kernel image from the kernel source I now have.
How do I do it?
thanx!

Does/Will X.org support ATI 3D acceleration drivers made for Xfree?
Oh and NVidia too.
I didn't run a Linux box when I bought my ATI card a few years ago.
-
I have
P4 1.8, 512 DDR 266mhz, ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128mb, Kernel 2.6-11, MDK10.0
suppose I run Doom3 from Blackbox env. what performance can I hope to get?
As I've heard Doom3 takes a LOT of computer power.
edit: imo I better wait for the native linux edition
-
By the time they get to a X.2 release, the os is superb.
I find 10.0 official a lot more stable than 9.2 which was a lot more buggy for me than 9.1
-
I run an invisible eterm window with the command "top", so I see my computer stats
it reruns itself each time I start KDE, so I don't have to redo the command (eterm transparent etc) every time. no such thing in blackbox though.
Eterm -x -0 --trans --scrollbar=off --buttonbar 0 -q -e 'top'
-
If still encounter problems -> prior to loading X with emacs open the /etc/XF86Config-4 (I think it was called so) and edit it to suit your monitor and card.

Hi there!
I have an iriver mp3 player and I've set its firmware to show up as a usb hard drive.
Works well on windows , but I'm tired of VMwaring it...
It didn't show on my desktop as icon when plugged in, but Mandrake loaded the drivers.
I created a folder under mount named usbdrive
I edited the /etc/fstab and added a line
/dev/sda /mnt/usbdrive vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850 0 0but upon mounting I get this error
[root@localhost]# mount /mnt/usbdrive/dev/sda: Input/output error
mount: /dev/sda: can't read superblock
Under harddrake I see iriver storage in the hd section labeled sda
and usbview also says that there is something connected to the usb port.
The problem is upon mounting and I'm suspicious that I have put in an incorrect fstab line. Maybe there is some parameter missing.
Any help?
thanx!

I'm afraid I won't be too original:
Firefox and Thunderbird

this might be one of those cases where reinstalling would take less trouble (and time!) than fixing the damn thing
-
slightly out of topic: I'm playing Baldur's Gate II on Linux right now
through Cedega (transgaming.org)
-
no, I've already given up. what SoulSe suggested doesn't work also
I'll try to do it manual

K3B won't fast encode to mp3 sometimes for me when I put heaps of mp3 at once, but I have no problems if I do it 5 songs at a time or smthing like that.
sometimes though it has no problems with 20 mp3 :-\
a bit weird if you ask me
-
When needed I use Wine together with dBowerAMP Music Converter no Grip to convert my files to mp3 (lame)
-
well, the README said to use "make install'
but ok, I will try to do as you suggested
-
I like BitTornado better :)

I have the same problem as you but I solved it by ripping files in .ogg :P

hello!
How can I make a tar.gz or any other compressed file from terminal so that my initial file is made into a compressed file consisting of many parts (7mb chunks)?
