| hads | Spent about 5 hours upgrading a couple of my media PCs to precise, messing around with them and then downgrading back to lucid :( | 04:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Atamira | why are you downgrading it? is it that bad? | 04:29 |
| hads | I'd love to have not had to. Seems there's a bios bug in the HTPC systems I have (Shuttle XS35GTv2 Atom/ION2) which interacts with Nvidia drivers later than 195 and doesn't allow the GPU to get to full speed (powermizer settings). There is no known workaround that I'm aware of which means effectively they are stuck at in 2010. | 05:58 |
| G | hads: ouch, and the open source drivers don't work well enough? | 08:46 |
| hads | Nouveau doesn't do VDPAU acceleration so unfortunately not. It's evidently more of a BIOS thing than an Nvidia thing and Shuttle haven't responded to anyone about it. | 09:33 |
| hads | So at this stage the three systems I have here aren't going to be able to be upgraded :( | 09:34 |
