I have been building myself a new computer in the last weeks and I am = now almost done except for choosing a video card. I have been reading up = on the matter but some things remain confused after reading through both = this list and xfree86.org, namely what support I might expect for things = such as accelerated graphics using either an Nvidia or ATI chipset. These are the cards I am considering:=20 - Asus V9520 TD (nvidia GFX 5200) - Asus ATI Radeon 9600 SE - MSI GFX FX5600XT-TD128=20 I had tought that the ATI chipset was unsupported (at least until the = release of Xfree86 4.4) until I read of someone using a Radeon 9600 on = this list. At the same time I don't see any mention of the nvidia = Geforce FX on the list of supported drivers for xfree86. Is that because = it's simply covered by the "Geforce DDR" category or is it still = unsupported at this point? So based on actual experience and knowledge, what can I expect from = these three? I might be willing to forgo 3d acceleration if I can get = decent performance as 2D for general window managing and such as the 3D = functions are probably going to end up being used to play games running = Windows anyway.=20 Both the Asus V9520 TD (nvidia GFX 5200) and the Asus ATI Radeon 9600 SE = support a second VGA output. Has anyone had any experience using that = function? I have an old monitor which I would press into service if it = works. Any advice is welcome. I'm still a recent convert to FreeBSD so things = that may be obvious to others might not be so to me ;~) Louis From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Jan 11 08:20:21 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8BE8316A4CE for ; Sun, 11 Jan 2004 08:20:21 -0800 (PST) Received: from smtp.des.no (flood.des.no [217.116.83.31]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4F88E43D1F for ; Sun, 11 Jan 2004 08:20:16 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from des@des.no) Received: by smtp.des.no (Pony Express, from userid 666) id C69505309; Sun, 11 Jan 2004 17:20:14 +0100 (CET) Received: from dwp.des.no (des.no [80.203.228.37]) by smtp.des.no (Pony Express) with ESMTP id 211235308; Sun, 11 Jan 2004 17:20:08 +0100 (CET) Received: by dwp.des.no (Postfix, from userid 2602) id CBE2833C6B; Sun, 11 Jan 2004 17:20:07 +0100 (CET) To: "Louis Munro" References: <000801c3d85b$3725e600$0300a8c0@gonzoboreas> From: des@des.no (Dag-Erling =?iso-8859-1?q?Sm=F8rgrav?=) Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2004 17:20:07 +0100 In-Reply-To: <000801c3d85b$3725e600$0300a8c0@gonzoboreas> (Louis Munro's message of "Sun, 11 Jan 2004 10:54:35 -0500") Message-ID: User-Agent: Gnus/5.090024 (Oort Gnus v0.24) Emacs/21.3 (berkeley-unix) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on flood.des.no X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.1 required=5.0 tests=RCVD_IN_SORBS autolearn=no version=2.60 cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Choosing a video card - Nvidia or ATI X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2004 16:20:21 -0000 "Louis Munro" writes: > I had tought that the ATI chipset was unsupported (at least until > the release of Xfree86 4.4) until I read of someone using a Radeon > 9600 on this list. AFAIK, hardware acceleration is not supported on Radeon 9500 and newer. Lower-numbered 9x00 models are apparently stripped-down 8500 derivatives, so stick with the 8500. I have a couple of 7500s myself and am very happy with them.

How often do you use OpenGL applications? My NVidia works okay with "nv" driver (no hw accel) from XFree86, yes, that driver is stable indeed. But, NVidia's own drivers are unstable. Maybe your results are better, because you have other card, than mine.

Other notes: The router works fine when connecting another machine (running Windows 2000 and with an Intel Pro/100 NIC) to it. Although I don't think the FreeBSD machine "answers" the Win2k machine through the router/switch. Using ifconfig to force media and mediaoptions, along with restarting/rebooting the router, does not help. According to Linksys documentation, this router uses Broadcomm Ethernet hardware internally. (Just FYI I guess; I don't know if that's helpful.) The "LAN" side of the router is a 4-port switch. Any ideas on getting this working? Cabling checks out fine and this error "follows" interfaces if I change them. It appears that I've found either a hardware incompatibility or some kind of driver (dc(4)) problem. Idea(s) on further troubleshooting/fixing this? Should I be asking on some other list? Should I file a pr? Sorry this message has become lengthy. FAQs/documentation pointers are quite welcome. :) Thanks, -kc From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jan 12 09:52:44 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BEC2416A4CE for ; Mon, 12 Jan 2004 09:52:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from sccrmhc11.comcast.net (sccrmhc11.comcast.net [204.127.202.55]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C5B0343D48 for ; Mon, 12 Jan 2004 09:52:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from cmankin@qwest.net) Received: from upyours (12-206-120-84.client.attbi.com[12.206.120.84]) by comcast.net (sccrmhc11) with SMTP id <2004011217524101100ng63ue> (Authid: cmankin); Mon, 12 Jan 2004 17:52:42 +0000 Message-ID: <000801c3d934$f6bd8c50$fd01a8c0@upyours> From: "Dr. Clark Mankin" To: Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2004 09:53:18 -0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.1 Subject: S-ATA RAID Controllers Revisited X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: "Dr. Clark Mankin" List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2004 17:52:44 -0000 Hello, Everyone. I have just completely replaced my server farm with new machines built = around the Asus A7N8X system board which includes a pair of these RAID = controllers on the board. The Windoze driver supports RAID 0 = interleaving for faster performance or RAID 1 to create mirrored pairs. FreeBSD 5.1 found the RAID controller but failed to install a driver. = I'm not certain whether I might need to roll a custom kernel for that = function or if I might find a 3rd party driver that will work. Really = all I want is RAID 1. I have a file server and mirrored pairs meet my = particular need best. For those of you who might want to experiment a bit, two brand new hard = drives by the same manufacturer and of the same size can be mirrored = very satisfactorily using rsync. This is not "RAID" in the strict sense = of the word, however the end results are so similar that I doubt anyone = blindfolded would know whether the drive had been mirrored with a RAID = controller or with rsync. Since I have the raid controllers I thought I'd try them - if I can get = a driver. If not then I'll use "plan b" and mirror a drive in each = enclosure using rsync as a nightly procedure in addition to my regular = backup routine.

FPS is slightly better in Windows XP SP1 w/ latest Detonator drivers, but my FreeBSD box is far more stable (all on the same box, same hardware, quad-boot configuration). No crashes/lockups/instabilities whatsoever. AFAIK, the same FreeBSD Nvidia Detonator drivers should work for all TNT2 and GeForce-based chipsets, including the 52XX series.

At the same time I don't see any mention of the nvidia Geforce FX on the list of supported drivers for xfree86. Is that because it's simply covered by the "Geforce DDR" category or is it still unsupported at this point? > So based on actual experience and knowledge, what can I expect from these three? I might be willing to forgo 3d acceleration if I can get decent performance as 2D for general window managing and such as the 3D functions are probably going to end up being used to play games running Windows anyway. > Both the Asus V9520 TD (nvidia GFX 5200) and the Asus ATI Radeon 9600 SE support a second VGA output.

Tests all ran fine, system installed straight off the 4.9 CD direct on to the RAID array (I used 2 disks, mirrored) I did nothing special during the install (apart from configuring the array in the adaptec bios) The 2010S and 2015S are both Ultra320, same chipset. The 2015S is smaller physically, and used for certain motherboards. The 2000S and 2005S are Ultra160. The supermicro 6023P-8R is Ultra320 and uses the 2010S, so I'd expect my successful test results would apply to it also.

I'm not at all happy with the output formatting of the utility but its better than nothing. Any feedback will be appreciated etc. Additionaly, I'd be very interested to know if anyone else can reproduce some of the problems I've observed with the ida(4) driver when hotswapping drives. I've been able to lock up the controller reliablly by removing and inserting a failed drive. I've tested against against the following controllers: SMART-2/P SMART-2SL Smart Array 3200 I'm running firmware version 4.50 (SP18018) on all controllers; older firmware displayed an even wider variety of weird problems, though some were likely related to my test platform (an old Proliant 850R). In most cases the lockup will cause the driver to panic as an impossible value is returned from the done() function. I've got code that fixes the panic and uses a watchdog timeout to catch the actual hang but this really isn't very useful as my system lives entirely on the RAID. -- 10 40 80 C0 00 FF FF FF FF C0 00 00 00 00 10 AA AA 03 00 00 00 08 00 From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Jan 15 05:45:46 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5B41A16A4CE for ; Thu, 15 Jan 2004 05:45:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from dexter.starfire.mn.org (starfire.skypoint.net [199.199.159.71]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1A1B543D2F for ; Thu, 15 Jan 2004 05:45:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from john@dexter.starfire.mn.org) Received: (from john@localhost) by dexter.starfire.mn.org (8.11.3/8.11.3) id i0FDjdu57647 for freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org; Thu, 15 Jan 2004 07:45:39 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from john) Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 07:45:39 -0600 From: John To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20040115074539.A57621@starfire.mn.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5.1i Subject: Failure to probe atapi CDROM unless booting from it X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 13:45:46 -0000 When it is identified, the device is identified as follows: Jan 11 17:56:56 pearl /kernel: acd0: CDROM at ata0-slave PIO4 That only happens, however, when I boot from said device (this is on a Compaq Armada M700, P650, 320Mb RAM, BIOS 686H 3/15/2002(latest)).

So - is the BIOS doing something to kick-start that drive that should be added to our code? Anyone else got a similar drive which is working correctly? I've heard from other M700 owners, but they haven't identified their drives. If other drives are working, and no-one else has one of these, maybe I can arrange to trade with the company I bought this from for a different drive, or just buy a DVD-capable drive from them and be done with it.

Well, just had a SUN Fire V65x in my hands, that tomorrow will go into production, so I had just a few hours to play with it. Interesting Info: Boots 4.9-R just fine, but with a 5.1-p11 it will bump out due to 4GB RAM and not finding init in the install routine... Will later try 5.2-R, and see what happens. The RAID card, which makes the adaptec 7902 a full Hardware-RAID controller, is basically an ICP-Vortex in disguise, its coming with an i960 chipset and 32MB RAM. its probed as iir, even /usr/ports/sysutils/icpconf sees the controller properly... (at least the binary package ICP distributes from 7.oct.2003) Ok, dmesg and mptable will later be forwarded, also some SMP info.

There is a usbserial Linux driver for it. So I think I mostly need to make serial access to the device work. To this end, I tried to modify uftdi.c a little, but I only see debug output from the write routines of the driver, but never from the read routines. All reads from the device fail. Does anyone have experiences with USB SmartCard readers under FreeBSD?

I expect to see ar0: composed of 2 40GB drives, with / ar1: composed to 2 80GB drives, with /home If the machine has a single TX2000 FreeBSD works fine; with both TX2000s each with a pair of disks FreeBSD gets confused. I've seen: - ar0 identified as an 80GB raid, but each disk is a 40GB drive (it's somehow mixing the data from each) - during boot the 40GB pair listed as mirror 1, the 80GB pair listed as mirror 2, but ar0 composed of the 80GB drives. kernel panics because it can't find init. Same behavior with 4.9. Both cards are using the latest firmware.

In 4.9-RELEASE The machine warns me that ad0 is UDMA 66 but has a UDMA 33 cable. I can get buy this by telling the machine that it can only use PIO mode but I noticed that if I play with the BIOS I can get it to install in UDMA mode 2. To tell the truth. If I cannot figure out a way to turn the fan off I'm going to return the laptop anyhow. Has anyone got suggestions of how to get a test install of 5.2 going so I can determine if ACPI will let me control the fan?

I know that 3Ware makes drivers for FreeBSD 4.8, but do you need drivers for the controller under FreeBSD 5.2 or is the built-in driver ok? We sometimes have problems shutting down the server where it complains about "not being able to destroy device 0". Two times we've also experienced that BSD hangs during the boot just after initializing the 3Ware RAID.

Then, if I unplug the mouse I get full sound experience on my desktop, but I cannot replug the mouse and get it to be re-initialized. If I boot without the USB mouse, I don't get any sound from KDE or XMMS, even if I move the touchpad.

Also the output for the USB mouse: #dmesg | grep usb usb0: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support usb0: on ohci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 usb1: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support usb1: on ohci1 usb1: USB revision 1.0 # dmesg | grep ums ums0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, rev 2.00/11.10, addr 2, iclass 3/1 ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir.
