I am running the latest Sabayon flavor of Gentoo. Whenever I try to play, oh say... Frets on Fire, it is painfully distorted, lines everywhere, and flashes, all crazy stuff pretty much. I had thought I had installed the proper drivers (unichrome) properly, but I am not sure. My laptop is a Gateway MX3230, to give you guys an idea on the specs. Any ideas on what is going on?
Many thanks in advance!

Could be acceleration manager causing this or resolution of the screen / refresh rate.
If possible post the
# lspci
For us to get a better idea about parts / drivers.
Have you checked out the gentoo forums / wiki as they should have more of the gateway laptops tweaks and stuff listed and possibly xorg website.
Try to run
# glxgears
This should give you a idea if 3d is working correctly and further eliminate any possible causes. Might have to enable DRI in /etc/X11/xorg.conf by removing the # before it but some video cards has issues with this being active ?
Once we ahve the SL version you are using + lscpi there is a good possibility we could help or search for a fix for this.

Yup most other linux forums is anally retentive 
about helping anyone outside of their play group.
Here we help anyone with any linux especially SL questions LOL.
Seem like the unicrome driver is loaded or it can properly talk to the video card using the driver that is installed.
http://www.google.co.za/search?hl=en&cl ... me&spell=1
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Unichrome
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Talk:HARDWARE_Unichrome
http://www.mepis.org/node/13367
This last one has the DRi enabled or states it needs to have DRI enabled.
our looks like
# load DRI
Just remove the # for it to be enabled.
load DRI
Basically all that needs to be done is enable the DRI and then restart the pc.
glxgears should run better if you try it now.
Alternatively you should be able to use the cheat codes at boot time of the dvd /cd or even by editing /boot/grub/grub.conf and using
" xdriver=via res=1024x768 "
replacing the res= with correct info for your screen
Mine would be :
xdriver=nvidia res=1440x900
Once this is booted with either DRI enabled and it works then enjoy if not then use cheat codes by:
During live dvd /cd boot press F5 instead of enter and add to the text at the bottom of the screen the :
xdriver=via res=1280x800
or similar ??
This will force the via driver to be loaded during kde session and run at specified 1280x800 or applicable resolution.
Example to force load on every boot on installed hd.
My grub.conf file:
See xdriver=nvidia res-1440x900 but should not need to edit grub.conf if all works fine as it should.
Hope this helps.

I noticed that I already have DRI enabled in the xorg.conf, but my xorg.conf is here: /etc/X11/xorg.conf, not in /etc/xorg.conf.
Is this wrong? I was a little bit confused by that. Would you like me to paste what I have in here?
Oh, and here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Note that it does not load at all when I change those 3 instances to via, but at least loads KDE when I change them to "VESA," what's going on I wonder?
Also, once I loaded via driver as opposed to VESA in the xorg.conf, it said that the module could not be loaded because it could not be found. So, it typed: modrpobe -v via
Now, this used to work with no errors, but now I get this:
dmesg says:

Vesa should be okay for now but not sure how good it is for the games. It supports any vesa3 compatible cards so check glxgears and or the game and stick with it if it works.
You can also try either xorgconfig or xorgconf as root and this should give you a config screen provided you know most of these settings.
It seems that this card + xorg has a lot of config issues in any linux.
x11-drivers/xf86-video-via
xorg.conf same thing in defferent places depends on the linux distro ours / gentoo at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Possibly using the live dvd /cd + cheat codes :
insmod=via xdriver=via res=1024x768
or
doload via xdriver=via res=1024x768
or
doload via xdriver=unichrome res=1024x768
Will have to play around a bit with the wording maybe any of the above combinations is the correct ones to get it working.
Try the 1024x768 first and see how it runs then later you can edit the screen res to your liking. Could be using the wrong res ration numbers as mine is 1440x900 or 16:10 where some other lcd's is 1440x1000 or 16:9 or something weard like this. Worth messing with to see if it works.

This is geexbox related but has unichrome / via stuff in it as well maybe they have a clue to this onboard video card.

Might need to use alternative video resolution for this.
PS> if you can try to use pclinuxos2007 live cd as they have a nice config tool hard drake bottom next to start button that should be able to get the correct screen res / driver working for you then compare the xorg.conf from this with the installed you have and edit accordingly / replace it with the pclinuxos2007 xorg.conf , it might just work + have correct screen res settings.
Will have to do some major googling or replace the motherboard with one that has another video card if possible or search a lot.

I've tested with Via Unichrome too and it only works with my 4:3 TFT (doesn't seem to like much the wide resolutions, I've got green stripes).
- Code: Select all
- "hdtv xorg=AxB", ex: hdtv xorg=1280x720

[qoute]Also, once I loaded via driver as opposed to VESA in the xorg.conf, it said that the module could not be loaded because it could not be found. So, it typed: modrpobe -v via
Now, this used to work with no errors, but now I get this:
# update-modules --force
or
# modules-update --force
or
alternatively add to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file this:
via
Then exit and save it + reboot.
This should force it to load at boot instead of using the modules-update --force.

FATAL: Error inserting via (/lib/modules/2.6.22-sabayon/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

So then I should be able to load modprobe -v via without any errors after I run one of those? Or, do I just reboot, and use the cheats? I'll try the cheats now and see what happens, hope it works! Because all I want to run is frets on fire. 
Edit: Added each cheat separately one at a time to the grub.conf (that's what it told me to do at the boot menu) and KDE loaded, but still thinks vesa, and frets on fire still doesn't load properly (nor does any other game for that matter, but glxgears works).

The update-modules --force loads it by default at boot or if added to .....kernel-2.6 as above.
You can try to use default lower resolution to be able to play the games as lower res = better performance most of the time. 800x600 should be good.
The via unichrome video card is not really meant for playing games = same as the 4mb/8mb nvidia mx400 or ati 8300 or there abouts of 5 years ago so 335fps in glxgears seems to be the standard.
If you have a Dell 9300 / 9400 /e1705 /xps m170 /xps m1710 or some of the compaq type motherboards they had a option to install or upgrade the video card to a nvidia 6600 or like mine modded to nvidia7950gtx but some of the inbuilt video cards ones can not accept another video card or upgrade.
If it was the intel 950 or later as found on the laptop / desktop 945 motherboards then you would be able to play FEAR / oblivion or similar to some extend. 950 = same as ati 9500 / ati 9600 from 4 years ago.

What can I do to fix the lagging that appears when I drag a window over another window? (If anything at all)
