If you look hard enough in the used market, you will definitely come across Full HD, flat-screen LCD monitors that only has a VGA input connector. As soon as it happened I started screaming at my siblings to come. The trackpad started up immediately. The full LCD resolution – 3200 x 1800 – was immediately recognised and started up. Read our full Corsair Dark Core Pro RGB SE review. CPU usage then seems to stabilise around 30%, whereas with certain CODECs it can be as low at 15% without optirun, but a 100% load on a single core (with plenty of dropped frames) on others (mkv files with high-res H264). The 3.16 kernel, initrd and grub settings from the Debian 8.6.0 XFCE install were left on, whilst everything else was wiped out, and the old OS files dropped into the root partition. UEFI and Grub ————- I am not a fan of UEFI. Based on the success so far, next up to try was a straight rsync copy over from the previous machine (Gigabit Ethernet working perfectly out-of-the-box), because that was also running a 3.16 kernel, and had a UEFI grub installation.
Whilst it is not strictly necessary to use grub-efi (certainly selecting “Windows 7 Boot defaults” seems to do the trick) it is most welcome to not be forced to use UEFI boot at all, and thus to be able to set up and use simple recovery boot media again. This can easily be demonstrated by turning the screen white (display a white image), switching off the room lights, setting the brightness down low, getting a piece of cardboard and poking a small hole in it, then, whilst your eyes are fixed firmly forwards, unmoving, wave the cardboard directly across the screen. Update: letting the laptop suspend to RAM automatically worked fine, whilst “optirun vlc” was open after a film had stopped playing. Above all, when using AOC I2369VM you can get quick responsiveness and availability, since it has less input lag that is nearly 4ms. So, the gamers can enjoy the amazing visuals when playing the most interactive games. Graphics: Gamers should consider the graphics. Efficient versions of graphics cards. There are still, however, a number of old version graphics cards that still has the 15 pins to get the video graphics controller connected to the monitor through a VGA cable.
1800p touch display on the Alienware 13 is probably the prettiest-looking monitor I’ve ever owned. If the screen goes black and you see nothing, aux/vga (see vga(8)) thinks it recognizes your video card, but either the monitor settings being used are incorrect or aux/vga doesn’t really know everything it needs to program your card. 0: new ultra high speed SDR50 SDHC card at address 59b4 HD Webcam ——— The USB-based UVC Video HD (1280×720) Camera, works perfectly out-of-the-box: tested with guvcview (which segfaults on exit but is not the camera’s problem). It was necessary to exit vlc and restart it, in order to have the sound operational again. Finally, avoid getting tricked into buying extras it is not necessary. He mentioned that getting line insert/delete functionality would speed it up by about 10 times on the screen, each time a person inserted/removed text. That failed completely. However, before giving up on the 3.16 kernel, because it was not realised that this hardware is an “Optimus” setup, where the NVidia GTX 1060 GPU is acting as a “co-processor” to the Intel HD Graphics which is the hardware responsible for doing the actual displaying, the NVidia proprietary drivers (375.20 at the time of writing) were downloaded, compiled and installed.
That’s when, after a bit of research, I discovered “bumblbeed” (apt-get install bumblebeed) and “optirun” and bbswitch (apt-get install bbswitch-dkms), all of which amazingly appear to have been around for quite some time. Further tests, such as “optirun glxgears” showed the limitations of this experimental system (fvwm2 switches off windows when they’re moved, to a wireframe), as the glxgears froze when optirun reported: primus: warning: dropping a frame to avoid deadlock and glxgears remained frozen and required termination. 3.16 kernel showed no signs of a driver, and, more worryingly, if run twice resulted in the entire machine hanging irrevocably, necessitating a power-cycle. If you are using “vanilla” 4.7 kernel source you will NOT have the same level of convenience, and may need to build your own initrd and have grub run manually. Video Playback with vlc ————– This is complicated, but seems to run better for certain kinds of videos when using optirun. Article was generated by GSA Content Generator Demoversion.
