| Darxus | I replaced my nvidia card with a radeon. Removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf got it to boot, but it's still being dumb at me. How do I fix it? This is Precise. | 02:56 |
| Darxus | Jockey says no proprietary drivers are installed. | 02:57 |
| bjsnider | Darxus, you're kidding me. you replaced an nvidia card with an ati card? | 03:52 |
| Darxus | I did. | 03:55 |
| Darxus | Jockey ended up deciding to install fire gl drivers. Fortunately things are sane in my main install, oneric. I have no idea what's going on with the drivers in precise. | 03:56 |
| bjsnider | this is one of those john mcenroe-type "you cannot be serious" moments | 03:58 |
| bjsnider | it's like saying you replaced a ferrari with a pinto | 03:58 |
| bjsnider | ah, just remove nvidia-current, reboot, and enjoy | 03:59 |
| Darxus | I did, it didn't help. | 03:59 |
| Darxus | That was about when jockey thought fire gl drivers would be good. | 04:00 |
| Darxus | Maybe when I get a chance I'll re-install precise. | 04:00 |
| bjsnider | didn't help what? | 04:02 |
| Darxus | It's still either not successfully booting, gerally with the normal boot option, or when I do the recovery boot it's saying the card is not dri capable or something, and supertuxkart is extremely slow. | 04:03 |
| Darxus | I replaced an nVidia GeForce 8800 GT with an AMD Radeon HD 6870. Largely because I appreciate their efforts on open source drivers. | 04:03 |
| bjsnider | ok, well, they haven't done a document release in something like 3 years | 04:10 |
| bjsnider | they do employ some open source developers though | 04:11 |
| bjsnider | as far as i know that card isn't supported yet | 04:11 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| Darxus | bjsnider: Then you're pretty well behind on how much AMD has been doing on open source drivers. | 15:10 |
| Darxus | This particular card was fully supported by the radeon driver in Natty. | 15:13 |
| bjsnider | Darxus, if you don't need it for gaming the radeon driver is fine. but int hat case you've got a lot of horsepower for nothing | 17:56 |
| JanC | bjsnider: the unused horsepower is even worse with nouveau though... ;) | 18:46 |
| mlankhorst | pssh, only because it's stuck on boot speeds | 18:46 |
| bjsnider | i've been using low-profile type cards for awhile. nouveau is fine | 18:46 |
| JanC | or was, maybe (certainly was when I bought my ATI card) | 18:48 |
| JanC | but that's only a Radeon HD 4350... | 18:48 |
| JanC | and was almost 2 years ago IIRC | 18:49 |
| bjsnider | JanC, yeah nouveau is pretty good these days. no tearing, video playback, stable, fast etc. | 19:38 |
