Linux Graphics Drivers
Linux graphics performance is affected by your choice of graphics hardware, video driver and graphics interface. Let's take a look at the open-source XFree86 server, the commercial Xi server, ATI Fire GL workstation video card, NVIDIA GeForce3 Titanium game video card and the Wacom tablet Linux drivers.
XFree86 is the best known X server because almost every Linux distribution includes it. This technology provides the X Window System graphics underpinnings for most Linux desktop users. "The January 2002 XFree86 4.2 release included anti-aliased fonts, a lot of bug fixes and many new drivers including the RADEON 8500 and Matrox G550", says XFree86 President and Release Manager David Dawes. Dawes is a board member and senior software architect at Tungsten Graphics, a startup founded by some former VA Linux employees to work on drivers, OpenGL API extensions and DRI.
Luxi scalable fonts, both TrueType and Type 1, are part of the 4.2 release. Bigelow & Holmes, Inc. donated these new fonts created in Ikarus digital format, and URW++ Design and Development GmbH did the TrueType and Type 1 conversions.
XFree86 4.2.0 provides a partial implementation of the new X Rendering Extension. Using simple compositing operators provided by most hardware, Render can draw anti-aliased text and geometric objects as well as perform translucent image overlays. Still to be implemented are geometric primitives and affine transformation of images. Just three applications have been modified to provide anti-aliased text in 4.2.0: xterm, xditview and x11perf.
Several 4.2.0 enhancements affect Darwin Mac OS X. On Mac OS X, a new rootless mode was added to allow X clients to display windows on the Aqua desktop. XDarwin now supports Xinerama, the capability to have windows span two monitors.
Asked what is at the top of his wish list for the next version, Dawes says it will be making XFree86 easier to install. "We keep making progress on that. For 4.3, I'm planning to be working on that myself."
Commercial X servers such as Metro-X and Xi Graphics offer alternatives to XFree86. HP and IBM also produce proprietary X servers, bundled with their workstations. Metro-X maker Metro Link has shifted to the personal video recorder TV set-top box market. "Linux Metro-X is no longer in development, but is still available", says CEO Morgan Von Esson. "The $25,000 PVR SDK market is our focus now." Metro Link is working with the ATI as a technology partner on the ATI set-top HDTV reference platform. Metro Link made a significant contribution to XFree86 4.x by donating its runtime loader. That enables XFree86 to load drivers dynamically, even on operating systems that do not support dynamic link libraries.
Xi Graphics first released version 2.0 of its Accelerated-X Summit X server in November of 2001 and has been adding support for even more graphics cards since—now over 30 cards and laptops. The XiG Accelerated-X server comes in models for desktop (DX), laptop (LX), multihead (MX) and workstation (WX). "The big appeal to our product is lifetime support, performance and stability", says CEO Dave Methvin. "We support the concept of freeware, and we contributed our Solaris laptop PCMCIA fixes as open source. However, XFree86 doesn't offer the testing and support we can with a commercial product." While still a student in Germany, XiG CTO Thomas Roell ported the original X Consortium implementation to the Intel x86 platform by himself and donated that to MIT (and thereby later XFree86).
Accelerated-X features include the Color Magic color management system, DualView for dual-head displays, Video Window for high performance YUV display, Stereo 3-D viewing for shutter glasses and Power Throttle to conserve power on laptops. Accelerated-X can throttle the CPU using APCI and even turn off components of the graphics hardware when not needed. Methvin says that can add two hours of battery life to laptops over XFree86.
For accelerated OpenGL, XiG utilizes a leaner API called XDA, not DRI. "DRI is way too big and complicated", says Methvin. "We've had some conflict with XFree86 about their design." Installing Accelerated-X presents some challenges to XFree86 users because the two systems don't like to coexist. Accelerated-X wrote their own optimized implementation of OpenGL and recommends uninstalling Mesa first to avoid installation conflicts. OpenGL applications developers running Accelerated-X should download the XiG OpenGL development kit to replace the XFree86-compatible Mesa developer package.
XiG offers a free download of a time-limited evaluation copy. In fact, you have to download the evaluation copy in order to buy it. Until unlocked with a purchase key, Accelerated-X will only operate for 25 minutes at a time. (You may restart it as many times as you like.) DX models cost from $39 to $99, LX from $69 to $139, MX from $129 to $249 and WX from $129 to $379. We installed the $99 DX RADEON Platinum edition.
The documentation was a little confusing mainly because we had questions about what to do with XFree86 and Mesa, which we already had installed.
Accelerated-X installation follows these steps:
Disable graphical logins and exit the currently running X server.
su root.
Remove or disable Mesa.
Remove or disable agpgart kernel module.
Install the Linux kernel source.
Install the X services module (XSVC) RPM.
make xsvc.
make xsvctest.
If necessary, make the kernel with appropriate MTRR, AGPGART and SMP settings.
Install the Summit RPM.
Run Xsetup to configure the graphics board, monitor and mouse in text mode.
Run startx.
Run Xsetup again to configure advanced options in graphics mode.
We experienced a few extra hurdles because we were using Debian, not Red Hat. We converted the RPM files to deb format using alien. Our high-performance ASUS A7A266 motherboard was unsupported, as xsvctext revealed, meaning we didn't gain AGP acceleration. Probably because of the converted deb files, we had to add the xsvc modutils alias manually and create .xinitrc and .xserverrc files.
# vi /etc/modutils/aliases . . alias char-major-10-175 agpgart alias char-major-10-179 xsvc . . tbird:/etc/modutils# update-modulesWe had to kill gpm and select MS IntelliMouse in Xsetup to get our optical Logitech MouseMan Wheel mouse to work.
XiG plans to continue to grow Accelerated-X as its primary market. "We're moving into the high-end workstation cards", says Methvin. "We're really impressed with the power of the new high-performance cards. We just released a driver for 3DLabs Wildcat II 5110." XiG OpenGL support is being upgraded from version 1.2.1 to 1.3.
XiG doesn't support NVIDIA cards. "We'd like to support NVIDIA cards", says Methvin. "But, NVIDIA won't provide the specs. We have to content ourselves with writing faster drivers for competitor ATI." Methvin's biggest complaint with the X Window System is the number of desktop configurations to be supported. "GNOME is tied to XFree86 in ways that tend to break other X servers, and there are just too many desktop window managers. I think not having one standard desktop is holding back application developers like Adobe from supporting Linux."
Graphics card manufacturer ATI acquired Fire GL Graphics and their line of workstation graphics cards in April 2001. Workstation cards such as the Fire GL are intended for 3-D animators and engineers, not consumers. In other words you might play Quake on a high-performance game card such as the ATI RADEON, but a game designer would use an even higher-performance Fire GL when creating the 3-D world for a game or for special effects in motion pictures. What differentiates these cards most is the OpenGL acceleration performance. Other pro-Fire GL advantages include high frame rates in multiple windows, double buffer overlay, dual-monitor support, plus greater stability, reliability and technical support.
ATI kept intact the German Fire GL Linux driver team. The Fire GL driver is a closed-source driver and probably always will be. "There are intellectual property and competition issues in taking a closed driver to open source", says Director of Workstations Ed Huang. "We believe we have the fastest OpenGL implementation for Linux and don't want to show competitors how."
The Fire GL 2 and Fire GL 4 use the same closed-source driver. ATI has taken a different strategy for the RADEON. It is an open-source driver. The top-end Fire GL 4 costs about $1,500 (at buy.com) and the less-expensive Fire GL costs about $725 (at cdw.com). Two new Fire GL models are replacing these. The Fire GL 8800 will be the first ATI-developed Fire GL card since the acquisition, and the first based on the RADEON chipset. This 128MB card, with about 50% better performance than the Fire GL 4 in most applications, is expected to cost less than $900. The Fire GL 8700, based on the RADEON 8800LE chip with 64MB, replaces the Fire GL 2. It has about 50% better performance than the GL 2 and should cost less than $400.
All the Fire GL cards use the same Linux driver. The Fire GL driver (currently for XFree86 4.1.0 with libc 6.2) is available on the ATI web site in .tgz or RPM format, about 5.5MB.
Graphics chip manufacturer NVIDIA's new high-performance game card, the GeForce3 Titanium, is offered in Compaq, Dell, HP and IBM PCs. Their graphics cards are also standard in all Apple desktops and in the Microsoft XBox. NVIDIA has had a good year, with its stock the best performer in the 2001 S&P 500. The GeForce3 models include the Ti 200 (about $160), and the even higher-performance Ti 500 (about $300). These feature fast high-resolution anti-aliasing on the GPU (HRAA Quincunx), DVI out and TV s-video out. For content creators, NVIDIA offers the even higher-performance Quadro2-Pro card (about $615).
For Linux users perhaps the most interesting aspect of the NVIDIA card is its unified driver architecture. "We use the same unified driver code for Linux and Windows for all cards", says software VP Dwight Diercks. "Our Linux driver is ready at the launch of a new board just like our Windows driver. We release both Windows and Linux drivers within 60 days of new graphics chips being manufactured."
OpenGL 1.3 is fully implemented and shipping on all platforms. "Our unified driver architecture gives us a single driver binary across all our cards", says director of OpenGL and Linux workstations Nick Triantos. "When we make a driver performance optimization it applies to all our products. Other companies supporting multiple drivers can't keep them current."
Diercks says NVIDIA reuses as much driver code as they can. "The major internal difference is the OpenGL GLX layer for Linux and the Wiggle layer for Windows. All the optimizations, new features and extensions come to the Linux side without much work." Nvdriver is a Linux kernel mode driver. The Windows driver is a VXD miniport driver.
The Linux Nvdriver is a closed-source driver. There is also an open-source NVIDIA driver offered as part of XFree86. The open-source driver has the important 2-D functionality (accelerated video, DVD playback and monitor detection), but OpenGL 3-D acceleration was lost when the XFree86 architecture changed in 4.x.
Led by architect Mark Voikavich, NVIDIA has a team of ten engineers supporting Linux. Although Microsoft's proprietary DirectX protocol obviously isn't part of the Linux driver, all the other driver features are in Linux. "Linux has full TwinView dual-head support", says Diercks. "Linux laptops have multihead technology for monitor output for presentations. The user can drag windows between screens." The Linux driver is actually a little leaner than the Windows driver because it doesn't have to duplicate functionality offered in OpenGL and DirectX. Depending upon configuration, the Linux driver can have faster performance than the Windows version.
NVIDIA works closely with the XFree86 Project. "In the future we're looking at more support for laptop features, such as hotkeys to move windows dynamically between displays", says Triantos. "There's no interface in X to make a window appear on just one screen." Another feature missing in X is a mechanism to do screen captures of accelerated windows. In Windows there is a callback hook to the driver, but to capture an accelerated screen in Linux requires help from the application, such as pressing the F11 key in Quake to do an OpenGL glReadPixels screen capture. Because accelerated windows blow a hole in the desktop to write to, it takes extra effort to capture them instead of a solid black window.
NVIDIA recently released their Personal Cinema graphics card to compete with the ATI AIW RADEON. "Personal Cinema provides video editing and video capture, but those features aren't available in the Linux driver", says Diercks. "We're interested, but not sure there is enough of a demand there for Linux." The ATI AIW RADEON, on the other hand, has a new Video4Linux driver for video capture.
NVIDIA uses Linux extensively in their chip development. "We use Red Hat 6.2 Linux on a 1,500 server computing farm", says Diercks. "Our engineers test the progress of our chip designs with that."
Not all graphics-related Linux drivers are for video. Wacom tablets are popular with GIMP users and with motion picture animators working on Linux workstations. XFree86 developer Frederic Lepied is responsible for the Wacom Linux drivers. "In my previous job, we needed to access the Solaris X server through a tablet, and the protocol for the Wacom IV devices was available from Wacom's web site", says Lepied. "I later ported my Solaris Wacom driver to Linux XFree86. Making the XInput extension work in XFree86 is how I became an XFree86 developer."
Linux Wacom driver development started in 1995. Lepied is the only developer, but he receives contributions from many people. The development is a continuous effort to support the new models. Lepied's work is supported by Wacom, but sponsored by his employer MandrakeSoft. Lepied is a team manager and developer of the Mandrake Linux distribution. The open-source Linux Wacom driver supports Wacom IV, Wacom V and USB protocols.

The 7 Battalion of the Madras Regiment cleaned two spots in the State capital
The 7 Battalion of the Madras Regiment is celebrating its 50th Raising Day in a different way.
Kicking off the celebrations a week in advance, more than 300 men of the battalion on Sunday engaged in some tough work at two prime spots in the city — at the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple and the Government Medical College Hospital — cleaning, sprucing up, and beautifying the premises.
Colonel Dushyant Jolly, Commanding Officer of the battalion, said the aim was to give something to the city with which the battalion, and the Madras Regiment itself, had a bond that ran several decades back, with the erstwhile Travancore battalion of the Travancore Maharaja being merged with the Madras Regiment.
The cleaning drive on the temple premises saw 150 men clear weeds and garbage around the temple and the Padmatheertham pond, apart from giving a few fresh coats of whitewash to the walls around the pond.
At the medical college hospital, an equal number of men were busy cleaning up wards, some of which, Col. Jolly said, were lying in a shambles, and making them usable.
The hospital authorities too were upbeat about the endeavour, and the battalion has offered to return, after some 20 days, to take up where it left off and do more for the hospital.
A tree planting drive, with quite a number of fruit trees and herbal/medicinal trees, on the battalion camp premises had preceded the sanitation drive.
More programmes had been lined up, both for the men in uniform and the public, Col. Jolly said. A blood donation camp, to be held at the battalion camp on Monday, aimed at providing blood to needy patients at the medical college hospital, while one of the only four brass bands in the Indian Army was being summoned for a performance on the Shanghumughom beach on the evening of March 29. Displays by the Tornadoes, the motorcycle display team of the Indian Army; gliding and skydiving performances by the Para Motor display team of the Armed Forces; and so on would follow the band's performance.

Thanks for this write up ggamster!
I'm tossing up between a second hand WR250R and a new CRF250L and have a few questions. I'm 5'10" and 195lb. 32" inseam. I'm guessing from this the WR is probably going to be a better fit, but I could be comfortable enough on both. Would you disagree with this?
I expect to be doing around 3-4000 miles a season (I'm in central iowa below I80, so I'm thinking march until October/November) and intend to service it once at the start of each year, so I don't think miles between service is going to be a huge issue.
I intend to commute to work and back when I can, 8miles of paved roads, 3m of that is 55mph. That would make up 2-3000Miles. I'm expecting the gas savings from the commute instead of driving my F150 will pretty much pay for the bike. This makes it easier to convince the wife that I
one. But then I intend to enjoy a variety of level B access roads and gravel the rest of the time.
How do you find servicing between the two? Is one much easier than the other in terms of access to the engine etc? Are parts roughly the same price?
I was originally drawn to the CRF, I've owned 3 other Hondas and liked them, but after reading your posts I'm starting to lean more towards a second hand yamaha. It seems that a barely used WR with a full aftermarket exhaust is about the same as a new stock CRF. The adjustable suspension and the history of the Yamaha are also a plus.
Are there any other factors that I should consider? I'm not going to be pushing this bike hard by any stretch of the imagination. It probably wont go over 65 very often if at all, and this will be my first DS bike (Unless you count a CT110 lol) so I don't think I will be going too hard on the trails.
Thanks again for the write up, it's been very informative.

Mary J. Blige will sing the national anthem for Game One of the World Series. / Jessica Foster, MLB
Just announced: Mary J. Blige will get the World Series party started when she performs our national anthem before Game One on Wednesday.
The game airs on Fox at 7:30 p.m. ET, from Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, who will be taking on the St. Louis Cardinals.
Mary J. Blige, who previously performed The Star-Spangled Banner at Yankee Stadium during the 2009 World Series, recently released her first holiday album, A Mary Christmas, with producer David Foster.
Our last big national anthem story was the scandal that erupted in January when Beyoncé "sang" at the presidential inauguration. Let's hope Mary J. Blige knocks it out of the park.

Mac Steeves tallied the game-winner in the 84th minute.
Nov. 8, 2013
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College men's soccer team secured a home match for the first round of the 2013 BIG EAST Tournament with a 2-1 win over Creighton on Friday, Nov. 8 in Providence, R.I. A goal from freshman Mac Steeves (Needham, Mass.) in the 84th minute served as the game-winner. The afternoon tilt marked the last regular season game for the Friars.Providence finished its conference slate with a record of 6-3-0.
Prior to the start of the afternoon cap, the members of the class of 2014, Wilder Arboleda (Pawtucket, R.I.), Anthony Baumann (Spring Hill, Fla.), George Hodge (Dartmouth, Mass.) and Phil Ziegler (East Lyme, Conn.) were honored for their achievements and dedication to the Providence College men's soccer program.
Providence took a 1-0 lead on a penalty kick in the 29th minute. After a Creighton handball in the box, Baumann buried the free kick to mark his fourth goal of the season. His strike gave the Friars a 1-0 lead headed into the break. In the first 45 minutes of play the Friars out shot the Bluejays, 7-3, and they held the advantage in corners, 4-1.
Creighton evened the game at 1-1 in the 79th minute when Myles Englis finished a feed from Jose Ribas. Ribas serviced a pass from the left side that Englis collected in the box and put to the back of the net.
In the 84th minute junior Fabio Machado (Santa Catarina, Brazil) ripped a shot from the left side of the 18 that was saved by Creighton's keeper. Steeves trailed the shot and finished the rebound to mark his third goal of the season.
The Friars are scheduled to host Creighton in the first round of the BIG EAST Tournament on Tuesday, Nov. 12. The game will be played at the turf field located at Ray Treacy Track in Providence, R.I. The start time of the game has yet to be determined.

Some of these memories were so vivid that I clearly remember seeing part of the episode about Huntail and Gorebyss and something about islands.
And I remember Mays Torchic evolving and fighting a Breloom.

The Ella Belly Mei Tai is the product spotlight this week. Kelly Hughes is the creator of these carriers. Here is a bit from the website about her and how she got started:
After my daughter Ella was born, I started babywearing right away. I tried ring slings, pouch carriers, structured buckle mei tais, wraps and just about everything in between. My husband was a good sport and tested out all the carriers right along with me. It took me a few months to figure out which ones worked the best for us…I'm a huge proponent of babywearing. I know it has saved my sanity so many times it's hard to count. It's hard to imagine how people get through motherhood any other way. My philosophy is, "You can either wear your baby out, or they'll wear you out." I can tell you, Ella and I are both a lot happier when I wear her!
Ella Belly, the Carrier:
The Ella Belly is a mei tai carrier, which means it has a body panel of fabric and 4 straps that come off at the corners for the wearer to tie on; 2 waist straps and 2 shoulder straps. Each carrier is custom made when you order it. You get to choose from a gallery of fabric and pick 2 designs that you like and your carrier will be reversible. You also get to choose the strap color that you would like. Each carrier is made with durable supportive canvas inside the body for strength, comfort and durability. The shoulder straps have padding to help with wearer comfort and there is also padding where baby's legs come out of the carrier to add comfort for baby as well. Some extras that are available to order are: a headrest, extra long straps, or a toddler sized carrier body.
Where to Buy:
These carriers are available for custom order on the Ella Belly website starting at $90.
