Thread: Video Driver Issues

-

hi,

here's problem:

have ati 5770 gpu, and, until couple of days ago, have never had problem drivers (i have had use proprietary drivers card not yet supported open source ones).

couple of days ago, however, became difficult boot ubuntu. machine run through post , screen go black , system restart. managed ubuntu running in safe mode (ctrl alt f1 wasn't working), uninstalled , reinstalled same drivers. since then, ubuntu has been booting, there large black margin around edge of screen (i picture occupies 90% of screen).

have widescreen (16:9) monitor, and, when fiddled resolutions, changing 4:3 or 16:10 aspect ratio made picture fill screen again (in stretched way, obviously). however, when run 16:9 settings - lower resolution - margin present.

have catalyst 9.12 driver. tried installing hotfix, didn't accomplish (except added watermark corner of screen).

don't think issue monitor, there no buttons on change size of picutre.

have heard couple of other people have problem, general consensus issue comes problem xorg 7.5. know running xserver 1.6.4, don't know how tell version of xorg have.

final thought, i'm sure gpu supported open source drivers come lucid. wouldn't feel comfortable running lucid (i'm pretty new linux), willing give try if people think best solution problem (worst happen = reinstall... whatever, don't care doing that).

appreciated.

thanks!

have tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?

Arduino DUE ADC to DAC Piezo 30 Khz-100Khz

i working on project providing echo response ultrasonic sensors. piezo facing opposite ultrasonic sensor,with foam material in between damp ultrasonic signal reflecting sensor. event based,read piezo signal[(+) --> a0,(-) --> gnd on arduino due] , after delay(5 ms) drive same piezo through dac0 [(+)---> dac0,(-)--> gnd) so ultrasonic sensor receives signal (30 khz-100 khz) after delay,thereby calculating distance after time of flight of 5 ms. int in_adc0,out_dac0;  //variables adc,dac values (adc0, dac0) void setup() {   //adc configuration   adc->adc_mr |= 0x80;   // dac in free running mode.   adc->adc_cr=2;         // starts adc conversion.   adc->adc_cher=0x80;  // enable adc channels 0     analogreadresolution(12);  analogwriteresolution(12);   //dac configuration   analogwrite(dac0,0);  // enables dac0   serial.begin(9600); }   void loop() { ...

Indesign and MathType fonts

i having trouble getting indesign recognize mathtype fonts.  have been told move mathtype fonts on 2 indesign font folder.  copied mt-extra font file mathtype folder , pasted indesign font folder.  nothing changed.  indesign still gives me blank box after copy mt-extra font mathtype -->illustrator-->indesign.   guess need instructions on how transfer of fonts done correctly.  i'v looked @ install fonts manual indesign, not clear me on how it.  need utility fontexplorer this, or there other way.  what's weird working fine until had reinstall osx , reinstall cs3, font trouble started.  need toggle "activate-reactivate' adobe cs3 , don't know how close 20 max on this, worried that.  (i suspect because of note on forum might necessary).  thoughts appreciated. i'm using windows, advice may worth nothing...   1) shouldn't have deactivate id recognize fonts. 2) design science gives fonts away in type 1 , truetype flavors....
