I have a ATI Radeon X1300 video card installed in a ThinkPad Advanced Docking Station where the laptop runs Centos 6.5. Upon Googling it seems that Centos 6.4 broke compatibility with the kmod-fglrx-legacy driver and that the only way around it is to downgrade X to an older version. However, the last note seems to be from before summer and I was hoping that there might have been some

Hello, I have problems running Star Craft - Brood War System: arch linux 64 bit ati radeon x1300 pro open source driver (xf86-video-ati) KDE 4.8.2 wine-1.5.1 Problem: The game starts but it's extremely slow. It's unplayable. It is slow even in the menus (on the animated menus it is slower). I've tried the changing the registry keys like DirectDrawRenderer and it doesn't help.

I'm pretty new to Wine and Xubuntu, and one of the main reasons I downloaded Wine was to properly run Battle of the Immortals. Im sure it was confirmed playable with Wine but every time i try to open the launcher it patches, and opens pretty normal but the login screen and probably the game also ( never got past the loading screen) suffers from unbearable lag and frame problems. Im pretty sure

I decided to try the x86_64 version of CentOS 5 on my new desktop since it has an Athlon 64 X2 CPU. The one really perplexing oddity is that the monitor no longer goes to power save mode (standby) if the system is idle long enough (e.g., overnight). The "power management" option is set to put the display to sleep after thirty minutes. The display gets blanked but it never goes to

Hi, I want to configure X on a NEC PC with an ATI graphic card. Usually, I do that by hand, e. g.: # init 3 # X -configure --> first draft # mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11 Then I edit this with Vi, step by step. Usually, this works, but not for ATI cards. Here, the first draft only gives me a "vesa" driver... though xorg-x11-drv-ati is installed. But then, when I replace Driver

I've tried a couple MMORPGs on Wine that work, and one i am trying to help work (MapleStory) However, when the game launchers close, I get this error: err:seh:raise_exception Exception frame is not in stack limits => unable to dispatch exception. And that is it. Is there any workaround for this or something I am missing?

I'm having trouble getting Ultima Online to work on my system. I installed from the Age of Shadows CD and patched from there. It installed fine, patched up ok, but when it loads the actual game my display goes utterly haywire. I'm getting 2 badly distorted mini UO screens and it looks like someone randomised the pixels on half my screen. When I move the mouse around I can move said

When i go to play the game it will close(some what) and i will be back at my desktop but the ubuntu system monitor will show the game and i will have to end it from there and from what i have seen i can only

Well. A priori. I'm a dedicated legacy OS person. I cut my teeth on command line DOS and then WIN 3.xx (these days that means WFWG 3.11). I drew the line at WIN9x. Hate that beast with a true passion, but because it is the 800 pound gorilla, I have to find some way to accomodate it in the future. So, here is the rub. Linux is a real PITA. Capital PITA. Unbelievably techie and that is bad.

Hi, I've installed 7.2-PRERELEASE, csup on 20090423 at around 19:00 UTC. When I rebooted after installing world, X started (xdm in /etc/ttys) and immediately panicked the system, even before switching to the new VTY. I removed all ports and installed Xorg from today's ports HEAD, same result. This is the case with my old xorg.conf and a new one from 'Xorg -configure'. I

I just installed Compiz on Ubuntu Feisty (Gutsy does not work on my hardware as per the release notes) via the http://ppa.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu repo, which is the repo suggested in the compiz-fusion website. The machine is a Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400 with the horrible ATI X1400 graphics card and 1680x1050 monitor. I installed XGL and the proprietary ATI driver, a combination that worked

Is there current or semi-current ATI video card that people are having good luck with for video games through WINE? I'm going to need a new card soon and we have had a long run of bad luck with the quality of Nvidia cards so I would like to give ATI a try. I know the driver improvements for Linux have been slow to arrive, but if anyone has a card they can recommend it would give me a

After using Linux for some time, I realized that this might be another good use for wine. I've been seeing the commercials for PC SpeedScan by Ascentive and have even been asked about it by non-techie friends. Since my Ubuntu system isn't real mission critical, I decided to throw caution to the winds and installed the 'product'. One behavior of malware is that it purposely does
