My first post from Ubuntu

BTW,for 64-bit u need nspluginwrapper for running these 32-bit plugins.do u have that?

If I recall correctly I dont think I do cause everyone on ubuntuforums.org says that there is a working application for every 32 bt counterpart =x. But I will check that. I installed the driver fromt he restricted driver manager on boot or so at least I think cause I got the little baloon popup asking me to use it. I have an onboard 6150 on my Asus M2N MX SE.

Welcome to Ubuntu,

Can you help me connect my LG C2500 using Airtel GPRS the same way?

Welcome to Ubuntu,

Can you help me connect my LG C2500 using Airtel GPRS the same way?

I followed the instructions from here

With small modifications, it worked perfectly for me. Please give a try and post details.

Also, if you are on Ubuntu, use sudo instead (as you already know that)

In there it says the drivers are in use so I think I do .

 

[praka123]

u can verify 3D working by running: Press alt+f2 for run dialogue and enter "glxgears" and make sure gears are rotating smooth.else check in terminal
"glxinfo |grep render"
^it shud say yes.

Yay ! My gears are running smooth

 

[ray|raven]

Sometimes gears run smooth even if direct rendering is disabled.
Use

glxinfo | grep direct

to see if direct rendering is enabled.
Also run glxgears in terminal to see the fps.
Running from Alt+F2 doesnt show that.
Alternatively u can open xorg.conf and see if module "dri" is loaded.
You should find it @ /etc/X11/

^yes.my glxinfo |grep render command too is for looking for direct render=yes or no
i think he got an on-board nvidia which needs nvidia-restricted manager to install proprietory drivers.anyway "nv" driver may be running for him."dri" shud not be loaded for nvidia 3D drivers.nvidia-glx-new is needed.in /etc/X11/xorg.conf @exx look for section device driver for "nvidia".

 

[FilledVoid]

glxinfo | grep direct This command gives me direct rendering = Yes .

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Generic Video Card"
	Driver		"nvidia"
	Busid		"PCI:0:13:0"
	Option		"AddARGBVisuals"	"True"
	Option		"AddARGBGLXVisuals"	"True"
	Option		"NoLogo"	"True"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Generic Monitor"
	Option		"DPMS"
	Horizsync	30-70
	Vertrefresh	50-160
EndSection

I have this in my xorg.conf . Is that a Good Thing or a Bad Thing

 

[praka123]

^gr8,u got nvidia drivers installed and configured.
BTW,are u able to browse sites such as *ibnlive.com which extensively uses Flash in ur ubuntu?

 

[FilledVoid]

Yes I can open *ibnlive.com/ and I believe everything is displayed. Theres a little media player too but due to my dial up connection Im not going to even try opening it .

 

[gary4gar]

hmmm...you guys are lucky
i am still stuck with unichrome chipset
it can't even play movies nicely
lets see if supports improves in it
so if there any chance of a better driver??

 

[ray|raven]

Hmm,Unichrome.
I remember a friend having a chipset with it and he had Mandriva on it.
It ran quite well AFAICR.
He was even quite impressed about Mandriva(Was his first linux install )
Maybe u should try Mandriva and see.

ray
