Using PS Vita with Linux?

[Acid_Snake]

the monitor going out happens on many systems (happens on my laptop and desktop as well as other people I have installed it to)
ubuntu is just trying to autodetect monitor resolution but it will boot fine and catch the correct res before showing the desktop. I dont know about nvidia or ati but this seems to happen mostly on intel graphic cards.

What wrong with mac?

There are more users using mac than linux

But yes I agree Sony should create a CMA for linux as well

Interesting. I had found that this was a common problem with some other people but no one seemed to have any solutions. The solutions that people did give had to do with typing in some codes and changing settings but I tried all of those methods and still nothing worked. I eventually just got rid of everything that had to do with Ubuntu because it was making it so I couldn't even log into Windows anymore because GRUB was starting to screw up.

On this current laptop, it's running AMD with a Radeon graphics card. That is probably where my problem lies. My last laptop also had AMD but I can't remember which graphics card it had...but on that one, it would start up into Ubuntu, get to the splash, the screen would go blank for a few seconds, then it would head into the normal Ubuntu interface.

Oh no, I'm not saying that at all. I know there are probably more users using Mac over Linux, but they really should have made the software available for all 3 when the PS Vita came out. That was very dumb on Sony's part to release a product then release the other part later knowing that people are going to need it when the device launches. Nothing wrong with Mac, just wondering why it's taking so long for Linux and Linux seems like a system that is easier to create applications for than the other two. It's even more odd because a few non-Sony developers started working on an OpenCMA for Linux before we had a working and stable one for Windows.

ATI/AMD support for Linux is very poor, unlike Intel which develops open source software for anyone to help. Can you give me your scecs? I dont mean amount of ram/cpu herts or anything like that, I mean model (i.e. intel atom n455, ati radeon 2500...)

Thank you!

AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1.50 GHz

That's what it says word for word under System in Control Panel in the Processor area.

found something that might help. requires the alternate installer. I recommend you install ubuntu on a pendrive or usb hdd.

Enter recovery mode to have a workable command line.

Step 1: Edit /etc/apt/sources.list with a terminal-friendly editor:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Step 2: Uncomment the lines that add "Partner" sources by removing the '#':

# deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu oneiric partner
# deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu oneiric partner

Step 3: Update your repositories:

sudo get-apt update

Step 4: Install the 3rd Party ATI/Radeon driver fglrx:

sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle

Reboot and cross your fingers.

Wow, thanks! It sounds like it should work but who knows lol. I'll give it a try sometime in the upcoming weeks.

I don't know why you mention an "alternate install". From what you've explained, you don't need any alternate install.

[Acid_Snake]

I actually meant alternate installer, graphical installer wont work because of his GPU, but since the alternate installer is text based it relies on the CPU
