Talk:GPU-Performance: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 20:45, 15 February 2010

Would it make sense to remove all the old nvidia updates and provide a link to their "current drivers" page as well as their "if you have performance issues" page? that way this page would not always lag behind the up-to-date beta drivers.

Sounds reasonable. Feel free to do it :-) --annew 12:31, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

nvidia - black window problem

(I suggest the following problem description to be inserted into the GPU-Performance page. Could a native english speaker correct the text, please, if required?)

Done - and thank you for contributing. I know little about graphics cards. I suspect that some of this page is no longer relevant, so I'd be really glad if you or someone else could look through it and prune as necessary. --annew 17:57, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but I do not know enough about nvidia configurations, too. The problem is that with different nvidia cards you seem to run into different behaviours. But I would recommend to split this page into three new pages. One page for each of nvidia, ati and intel cards.

-I just learned about this from the Fedora KDE mailing list tonight, and thought it'd be useful to note for other Fedora 10 KDE users that visit this page.

-== Fedora 10 and xorg.conf (for some users) ==
-Some of the tweaks mentioned in this article are targeted at a file normally found in most distros at:
-  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
-Some users on Fedora 10, however, may find that this file is no longer present by default (depending on their card- anyone with more details on this please feel free to elaborate), and so it must be re-created. To do this, either:
-=== GUI-friendlier method: ===
-* install and run the 'system-config-display' package (hitting '''Ok''' after you're done configuring will generate the 'xorg.conf'
-=== Less GUI-friendly method: ===
-# open a command prompt
-# switch to runlevel 1 by running the command (as root):   init 1
-# run 'Xorg -configure' as root (once you're done, this will generate the 'xorg.conf' file
