I installed ATI proprietary drivers version 10.6 and, while I can get the system to work, it becomes corrupted quickly. Example of corruption: while cycling through Iceweasel's open tabs, parts of them become all black, or white, elements disapper and reappear when mouseovered, etc. I'm using the

How to tune display position on external VGA display

2010-06-19 Thread Matteo Riva
I'm using a laptop which I connect to a plasma TV through a VGA connection. I can get the display on the plasma to work at the correct resolution (1360x768) but the image is shifted on the left so that part of it is hidden and I have a black bar on the right. My card is a Radeon Mobility 3430. Wi

non constant SYSFS info for the same device

2005-10-24 Thread Matteo Semplice
t; SYSFS{max_sectors}="240" SYSFS{model}="" SYSFS{queue_depth}="1" SYSFS{queue_type}="none" SYSFS{scsi_level}="3" SYSFS{state}="running" SYSFS{timeout}="30" SYSFS{type}="0" SYSFS{vendor}="" Note in particular that the vendor and model names keep changing. (And I seem to be cycling through these 3 results) Isn't this odd? Any clues? As I said in my previous thread, what I find possibly more odd is that the correct vendor and product info for my card are in the directory /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:10.1/usb2/2-2/ but /sys/block/sda/device points to a subdirectory of that one, which does not contain the correct vendor/product files If no one has clues, could someone point me to a udev/hotplug/whatever mailing list?
