My Laptop is not working well. This is the error message. "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one." i've already tried this command "chmod 1777 /tmp". its not working. pls help Thanks renan on "How to Enhance Video Performance of ATI(3D)" http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/how-to-enhance-video-performance-of-ati3d#post-165 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:36:42 +0000 renan 165@http://forum.kahelos.org/ 1. First you must remove the following drivers: dri2proto libgl mesa xf86-video-ati ati-dri Login as superuser pacman -Rd dri2proto pacman -Rd libgl pacman -Rd mesa pacman -Rd xf86-video-ati pacman -Rd ati-dri 2. Compile and install the latest GIT-version of ATI drivers and 3D graphics systems using ‘yaourt’. dri2proto-git libgl-git mesa-gi xf86-video-ati-git ati-dri-git Login as superuser yaourt dri2proto-git yaourt libgl-git yaourt mesa-gi yaourt xf86-video-ati-git yaourtati-dri-git 3. Edit the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and add this ati_agp radeon # vim:set ft=sh # MODULES # The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are # run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules # in this array. For instance: # MODULES=”piix ide_disk reiserfs” MODULES=”ati_agp radeon crc32c libcrc32c btrfs ext4 udf nilfs2 acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_stats cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_conservative freq_table” 4. Edit the /etc/rc.conf and add ati_agp radeon # ———————————————————————– # HARDWARE # ———————————————————————– # # MOD_AUTOLOAD: Allow autoloading of modules at boot and when needed # MOD_BLACKLIST: Prevent udev from loading these modules # MODULES: Modules to load at boot-up. Prefix with a ! to blacklist. # # NOTE: Use of ‘MOD_BLACKLIST’ is deprecated. Please use ! in the MODULES array. # MOD_AUTOLOAD=”yes” #MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated MODULES=(fuse ati_agp radeon usblp) 5. Generate a new kernel sudo mkinitpcio -p kernel26 6. Reboot joelbryan on "Enable Kernel Mode Switch (KMS) on Intel Graphics Card" http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/enable-kernel-mode-switch-kms-on-intel-graphics-card#post-57 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:18:39 +0000 joelbryan 57@http://forum.kahelos.org/ KMS is the next generation graphics infrastructure that improves the overall video 3D graphics performance and allow to use the latest DRI2 (Direct Rendering Infrastructure 2). To enable KMS on Intel Graphics Card on Kahel OS, do the following. 1. Synchronize your System with the latest Kernel. <code>sudo pacman -Syy && sudo pacman -Syu</code> 2. Remove existing graphics subsystem to avoid conflict. <code>sudo pacman -Rd dri2proto intel-dri libdrm mesa xf86-video-intel</code> 3. Compile and install the latest GIT-version of Intel drivers and 3D graphics systems using 'yaourt'. <code>yaourt -S --noconfirm aur/dri2proto-git</code> <code>yaourt -S --noconfirm aur/glproto-git</code> <code>yaourt -S --noconfirm aur/intel-dri-git</code> <code>yaourt -S --noconfirm aur/libdrm-git</code> <code>yaourt -S --noconfirm aur/mesa-git</code> <code>yaourt -S --noconfirm aur/xf86-video-intel-git</code> 4. When all goes well, remove existing xorg-video-drivers <code>sudo pacman -Rssuuvvcc xorg-video-drivers</code> 5. Create a file named 'intel-kms.conf' in /etc/modprobe.d/intel-kms.conf by <code>sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/intel-kms.conf</code> Then add the lines, then save. <code>options i915 modeset=1</code> 6. Edit the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and add the 'intel_agp i915' line in the MODULES list. <code>sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf</code> then add 'intel_agp i915' at the very start of the MODULES=(...) list, so the line <code>MODULES=(crc32c ...)</code> will become <code>MODULES=(intel_agp i915 crc32c ...)</code> 7. Include the file '/etc/modprobe.d/intel-kms.conf' in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf FILES list, so the line <code>FILES=""</code> will become `FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/intel-kms.conf" Then save. 8. Add 'intel_agp i915' in /etc/rc.conf <code>sudo nano /etc/rc.conf</code> then the line <code>MODULES=(fuse usblp)</code> will become <code>MODULES=(fuse usblp intel_agp i915)</code> then save. 9. Generate a new kernel. <code>sudo mkinitpcio -p kernel26</code> 10. Then reboot. TROUBLESHOOTING If you see a message "error inserting i915.." you may have to regenerate your kernel again prior to the reboot and installation of the new kernel and drivers.
