Greetings folks. I have been following the project for many months now and have downloaded and installed all versions for i386 and amd64 . Version 1.4 (64bit) installs and boots fine on my ASUS m2v-mx using an AMD 4800+ 64 bit dual core processor with 320 GB Seagate sata2 drive and 2GB RAM. Version 2 nor a synaptic upgrade of version 1.4 will boot. Suggestions? regards, Noel.

Greetings folks, a follow up. I have bought a new motherboard (ASUS M2NPV-VM) as a replacement for the one previously mentioned (ASUS m2v-mx). 64studio Version 2.0 AMD64 appears to be fully functional but for one small problem. The screen resolution is 640x480. Cutting to the chase, how do I get the on-board NVIDIA GeForce 6150 GPU to increase its resolution to 1024x768? There is no other option in "system,preferences,screen resolution" other than 640x480.Suggestions? Regards, Noel.

Nvidia drivers (again)

Hi Noel, I hate to ask you this, bit did you install the new nvidia modules Free included in the 64studio repository? For your GeForce 6150 you would need the following packages
  • nvidia-glx
  • nvidia-kernel-2.6.2x-1-multimedia-AMD64 (the x depends on your installed kernel: 21 for stable and 22 for testing)
  • nvidia-kernel-common
Then all you need to do is edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root: Under "Device" change the line Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia" After a reboot you should have the full resolution range of your graphics adapter available. Cheers,

Kernel regression?

Free mentioned a re-release of 2.0 when some of the issues surrounding the RT kernel has been sorted out upstream. Perhaps you are one of the victims of the kernel's slight problems. I have no problems whatsoever, and the new kernel runs better than ever on my Asus A8N-VM with AMD Athlon64 x2 3800+ We'll see though when I do a clean install from 2.0 next month - but I expect no surprises! Cheers,

Thanks
