Lorena Si Casanova Sparg Paharul Zippy. HP Connected, Mobile Printing and. (and some Linux files). If you think you can help, let me know. Compaq nc6000 won't boot. I'm looking to extend the desktop of my hp Compaq nc6120 notebook with an external monitor under Mandriva 2009. A little looking around reveals.

The homepage at for this laptop is. I'm building this up with a 2.6 kernel (currently a vanilla, unpatched 2.6.13.4), so that's all I'll have experience with. I should note that the original 2.6.13 kernel seemed to do Bad Things with my laptop (ie: it would freeze, seemingly at random, during the boot sequence). I've currently got 2.6.13.4 running, though, and that seems fine.

Perhaps some bug got fixed. There's some more info on this laptop on, linked to from. Rapidshare Book Acting. There's also a, which looks to be very, very similar. It doesn't look like I'll have to touch the kernel to get anything working anymore, so (for 2.6.13.4) for kernel compilation. There's doubtless stuff in there which doesn't need to be (I don't think the AGP options do anything, for instance), but that's the.config which is working for me. I'm using for X. X.org 6.9/7.0 introduced support for the graphics chipset in the laptop, so I'd recommend just going with that.

Full DRI works fine using the i810 driver. Here's a copy of my working. NOTE: The laptop doesn't like having X die unexpectedly on it. If you're running a display manager and want to kill it off, make sure that you switch into text mode (alt-F1, etc) before doing so, or else the display becomes unusable until the next reboot. For comparison, here's the glxgears FPS ratings that I observed using various configurations (these benchmarks are from ages ago, I'll have to update them with newer versions of software than 2005, when I originally put this together): 16-bit color 32-bit color Without DRI 'round 650 6.8.99.13: just over 300 7.0-rc0: just under 700 (impressive) DRI Enabled just under 1300 just over 900 I'm not sure what that big jump in non-DRI FPS means for 32-bit color. Perhaps my initial benchmark in 6.8.99.13 was off?

I found it a bit strange that it'd actually be faster than the 16-bit test. When working properly, glxinfo should include the following, as opposed to 'Mesa Indirect': OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 915GM 20041217 x86/MMX/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 6.2.1 NOTE: I tried out using 6.8.99.13 and it completely froze up the display (the box was still running but I had to reboot it remotely). Quake3, SimCity 3000, and all worked fine, but since I'm using a CVS version of X.org I'd still be more prone to blame that than the scorched3d code. So watch out for freezes, etc.
