debian testing libdrm2 and fglrx - 2D operations extremely slow
Hello everybody, does anybody run the combination debian testing + fglrx graphics drivers? I have the problem that when I upgrade libdrm2 to the version from the testing repos, the 2D operations like moving and resizing of windows are becoming extremely slow. For now (since weeks) I have to keep the stable libdrm2 version, because this one works perfectly. Any idea if this a bug or do I need to tweek some settings? My graphics card is a ATI Mobility Radeon 2400 HD.

Re: OpenArena incredibly slow after apt-get dist-upgrade
Can you please try to downgrade the libdrm2 package to the one from the stable version? I've had troubles with significant performance loss with the newest version. greetings, vitaminx 2009/9/16 Florian Kulzer > > On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 13:51:00 +0200, Sjoerd Hardeman wrote: > > David A.

grub2 default menu entry name
Hello, how can I configure the name of the default grub2 menu entry, when I invoke update-grub it makes me an entry like 'Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30-1-686' in grub.cfg. I want a custom name like 'debian workarea', how can I obtain this?

Re: grub2 default menu entry name
hi, you mean the /boot/grub/grub.cfg? I want to avoid to edit that file since it's dynamically generated by update-grub. I've tried to find something in /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d without success. greetings, vitaminx 2009/9/23 Michal : > ein gedanke wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> how can I configure the name of the default grub2 menu entry, when I >> invoke update-grub it makes me an entry like 'Debian GNU/Linux, Linux >> 2.6.30-1-686' in grub.cfg. >> I want a custom name like 'debian workarea', how can I obtain this? >> >> >> >> Thanks, >> vitaminx >> >> > > Check the grub conf files, you can manually edit them > -- www ... http://www.callistix.net/ mail ... vitam...@callistix.net irc ... #chezpaeule @ euirc mud ... vitaminx @ aardmud
Re: grub2 default menu entry name
hi, thanks for the replies, I guess I have to change that script (/etc/grub.d/10_linux) to my needs. Just thought there is a more 'official' way, because that changes will be lost at every grub2 update i guess. A file '/etc/default/grub.ucf-lst' doesn't exist here (debian testing). greetings, vitaminx 2009/9/23 Brad Rogers > On Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:39:15 +0200 > Florian Kriener wrote: > > Hello Florian, > > > GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` > > in /etc/default/grub to something like > > Here, it's in /etc/default/grub.ucf-lst > > > But you could have found that out by yourself by simply reading > > /etc/grub.d/10_linux. > > Assuming one actually understands the script, and what's going on in > there.

Re: Need advice from experts in complex multi-boot setups.
Hello, AFAIK at least for Linux you need 1 primary partition of small size (200MB is nearly too big) which contains /boot if you want to use LVM. greetings, vitaminx 2009/10/3 Tom H > >> I purchased an Iomega mobile HDD 250GB and am planning > >> to install on it several OSs: MacOSX 10.5.8 (Hackintosh), > >> Solaris10, OpenSolaris, Debian, OpenSuse, Fedora, BSDs > >> (FreeBSD and OpenBSD).
