Installation issues / ATI Radeon 9250 PCI Card: Has anyone got it working to get atleast UI2 Working?

« on: November 13, 2007, 08:57:16 pm »

I've been working on trying to get my ATI Radeon 9250 pci card to work with direct rendering. I've been looking all over the place and have had no luck. Anything from the script from ATI themselves, to the fglrx driver from Ubuntu. I'm about ready to cry. Anyway, some real facts.

When I run the ATI script for installing the driver, it stops with the error of:

Code: [Select]

./ati-installer.sh: 97: Syntax error: Bad substitutionAfter that I installed the fglrx driver from Ubuntu and got:

Code: [Select]

(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:5:1) found
(EE) No devices detectedand proceeds not to run the X server. Another thing I've tried is to set the driver on ati. That didn't work either. I'm at a lost. Here is my xorg.conf file: (NOTE: Most of the file was made by LinuxMCE/Kubuntu.)

Code: [Select]

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using

Feature requests & roadmap / Services and Desktop

« on: November 09, 2007, 03:59:44 am »

2 thing I wish was in LinuxMCE. One is the ability to stop LMCE from starting the core services. I would like to be able to say wait, I don't want LMCE up right now, I want to change a config file. Or change something before the services start or if I change my mind on starting LMCE.

The second thing would to have the desktop already up before LMCE starts so I don't have to start LMCE to get anything graphical. Or even have the option on the Linux MCE Launch Manager to start the desktop. Whatever works best or is easier to do whether its a button on the manager, or the desktop comes up right before the manager.

usually I'm not up at 2. My dad is. There isn't a way in the software to schedule it?

Also, where is the config files located? I need to change my user interface from UI2 to UI1 'till I get my graphics working right.

My LinuxMCE Core is not the router, nor is it the DHCP server. I've gotten it setup so it doesn't need to be.

What I mean by sacked it that my 256k DSL connection (I know it sucks) is completely used up and anyone else trying to use it has to wait 5 minutes per page. (even worst if there is flash on the site)
If it is updating itself. It should at least tell me instead of making me worry about someone stealing my internet, or someone hacking my house.

I currently have my LinuxMCE core setup in my room, it is not the router, or the DHCP server. It is merely my media center for my room and nothing else. If it is updating itself, is there a way to schedule it to do it when no one else needs the network e.g. between 2am to 8am.

Thanks

I just installed LinuxMCE on my desktop. It will not be the center of the house, just my room. For some reason however, whenever the machine goes idle, my internet connection gets sacked and won't stop until I disconnect it of course. It won't tell me what its doing with my connection, nor will it give me an error when I unplug the connection. I'd like to know what its doing when I leave my computer idle, why its doing it, and how I can keep it from doing it again.

If this isn't where I should post this let me know, I couldn't find a better place to post.
