tweaking the xorg.conf for VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro

I'm trying Crunchbang 10 for first time. Just installed it on my sister's old laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO L7320GW). I had some troubles with the xorg.conf but I found this one , copy, paste it, and replace some settings. But still I experience window tearing and slow desktop graphics (with both Openbox and XFCE) compare to WinXP.
Is there something I can add or delete from my xorg,conf or grub file for better desktop performance?

Re: tweaking the xorg.conf for VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro

Hi,

oh well, the VIA S3 (Unichrome). I never experienced really good graphics performance with them, but it should work OK. Is the module actually loaded? Can you post:

lsmod

It will be a long list. Or we take a shortcut and

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome

If it's alreadyinstalled - that's it.

Edit: Scratch that big_smile I just noticed you attached the xorg.log - openchrome is already in use. Well...

The Amilo is quite weak on RAM, so you might consider upgrading that (if you see some really cheap RAM modules). I used to have a similar model, and full-screen Flash was always a bit blocky, so don't expect miracles smile

Edit #412: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? … 52#p232231 I cannot confirm this but try to install the other packages listed there for mesa. Also have a looky at the xorg.conf posted there, maybe there are some modelines which fit better.

Thanks for the answer.

Have you checked the "edits" I added in post #2?

Re: tweaking the xorg.conf for VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro

yes
I've got the modules installed. And that xorg.conf is almost the same like mine.

Re: tweaking the xorg.conf for VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro

Though, one thing: xorg.conf there's a line

  Option "Accel" "

which doesn't make sense like this. Either it should be

  Option "Accel" ""

or

  Option "Accel" "True"

or

  Option "Accel" "False"

Edit: Reference http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.1/doc/xorg.conf.5.html

Example: the following option entries are equivalent:
Option "Accel"   "Off"
Option "NoAccel"
Option "NoAccel" "On"
Option "Accel"   "false"
Option "Accel"   "no"

so you can try "Accel" with "on" or "true" or "yes".

Actually I changed that to "Accel" "true" and I'm not sure if it correct value

Re: tweaking the xorg.conf for VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro

You'll see after a reboot or restarting X.

Re: tweaking the xorg.conf for VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro

there is no change. except X could something else cause that tearing , like - OpenBox, kernel configuration or else?
Because I've installed #! 10 on my laptop (with radeon vga) but also have this window tearing

See this link for another openchrome xorg.conf snippet: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/228219/#p228219
Adjust for your panel size. IIRC "ForcePanel" is required.

Re: tweaking the xorg.conf for VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro

Xorg.conf.log

(WW) CHROME(0): Panel on K8M800 and VM800 is currently not supported.
(WW) CHROME(0): Using VBE to set modes to work around this.

anyway I  there is no difference at performance.
and just to add - tear windows while moving around only on horizontal ,  moving windows vertical is fine. And I feel like the FAN is running high all the time (I'm not sure if it is Xorg related)

Re: tweaking the xorg.conf for VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro

I just found out that there is Unichrome X driver (which is not available at debian's repos) is it better or worst than openchrome?
