I'm turning in again shortly, as it's close to 10pm here, and I'm up again at 5am. Just by way of background, when running through an A/V receiver, display setup takes a little longer, as an agreeable resolution and scan rate has to be set by all three devices in the chain. In essence, the...

I could open the file - it was just a matter of downloading it and tar -xzf Xorg.0.log.tar.gz, and there's your log file all ready for me to review :) Nothing too exciting in it - I just needed a benchmark to see what your system normally says: every system has its own collection of messages...

Aw now, know your history - hackers, and their nefarious counterparts (i.e. criminals), have existed since the original Unix and Vax VMS days. That's not to excuse MS - they seem to be more bug-prone than most, but they're also the most lucrative target to attack. We Linux desktop users are a...

If your video drivers are correct, you'll get black bars on the side - stretching a 4:3 image over 16:9 reflects a configuration problem. Simple fact is, other than buying an external 4:3 monitor, you're not going to get a perfect fullscreen experience with games from the '90s and early 2000s...

That's perfect, thanks D~! Not to worry, I'm several hours ahead of you, so I'd posted that then gone to sleep :rolling:

Follow each of these steps in turn. First: sudo su then type your password. You're now in a shell with root privileges. You can just copy and paste the next block - the computer should do it all for you. cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /home/daniel/. chown daniel:daniel /home/daniel/Xorg.0.log exit...

Sure, if in the meantime you can post your Xorg.0.log and edid output as given in post #92 then I can look through those and make sure I'm on the right track.

It's an interesting exercise, for sure. As it stands, it's pretty useless, but... imagine if they'd got the keystroke logger working. Simply wait for somebody to type "sudo <cmd>" and log the password, and then they have the ability to elevate their service into the system. I suspect that they...

If you locate the config.ini file for Sid Meier's Pirates and change Fullscreen = 0 to Fullscreen = 1, you should be able to get fullscreen and unlock higher resolutions. Note, to avoid it looking a bit stretched, the nearest 4:3 resolution is 1440:1080

While I'm thinking about it, you'll also need to do some hardware checking: i) Ensure the HDMI cable from your computer to the AV unit, and from the AV unit to the TV are both HDMI 2.0 compliant. If only HDMI 1.4 you will not get 4K @ 60Hz whatever we do. ii) Ensure that the HDMI cable from...

OK, next thing - I'd like to see your current Xorg.log. It'll be easier all round if you attach it as a file, so: sudo su cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /home/daniel/. chown daniel:daniel /home/daniel/Xorg.0.log Then in your next reply, select "Upload a File" and upload /home/Daniel/Xorg.0.log Next...

OK, that makes sense. At around revision 364, nVidia enabled support for kernel modesetting, but in true nVidia style, they didn't use a lot of the kernel infrastructure but rolled their own. Among the problems are lack of support for the fbdev high resolution framebuffer. What this means for...

SATA cable? Or if you're going old-school, then just ATA or IDE cable

EDIT: OK, so you have 4K at the moment with 340 drivers - your concern is that you can't use 370s, yes?

Short answer is because you already had mint-meta-codecs and libdvdcss2 installed. The other files are harmless - I'd leave them for now. Thanks for that. I couldn't find a 46" HiSense H6D, but did find reference to a 43" HiSense H6D. All this tells me is that they're no longer sold. Anyway...

To some extent, they do. nVidia only provides a single kernel module for all its generations of graphics card. In trying to support older cards, it will eventually get too big, too unwieldy, too hard to maintain and thus too bug prone to support all older generations of card. So, nVidia's...

Great stuff! Using a different screen and still seeing some natural light is far superior to just closing the curtains - on that path lies madness If I have any spare brainpower, I'll have a think about D~'s 4K problem. I think it's related to changes in the nvidia drivers between 340 and 370...

Where graphics drivers are concerned, AMD and Intel have gone one way, while nVidia has gone another. AMD and Intel both embraced the Gallium driver model in Mesa, and contributed a lot of developer time and code, plus working firmware, to getting their graphics working well under Linux. The...

Are you happy at this point, or do you need to look at nVidia drivers for gaming as well?

OK, so now see if you can play DVDs
