ubuntu 10.10 折腾控制台 | struggling with console in ubuntu 10.10

新买了电脑，装ubuntu 10.10， 安装的时候控制台很完美，漂亮的1366x768，启动时还有漂亮的splash
刚装之后似乎是好的，最近却又不行了，控制台要么进不去，要么是恶心的1024x768。
想了想，自己的改动主要是配了grub2，还有就是装了fglrx。
grub配了几次无果，于是继续回到安装时的live cd，进去以后研究了一下，并没有用vesafb，另外就是发现用的是开源驱动radeon。
用hwinfo --framebuffer看，我的显卡vbe并不支持1366x768，但是live cd确实搞出来了，我猜是radeon和kms的原因，具体不懂了。
于是卸掉了fglrx，重启。
于是又看到了漂亮的splash，漂亮的1366x768控制台。

另外gnome的俄罗斯方块也能正常玩了，用fglrx的时候反而不正常。
期待radeon好好发展。fglrx太差了。。。


I've installed ubuntu 10.10 in my newly bought notebook, the console was perfect during installation, that was the wonderful 1366x768, as well as the beautiful splash.
I think everything was still ok just after installation, until now, I see just a blank screen, or some ugly 1024x768.
What I've done, that maybe relative, are just some tweak on grub2, and installing fglrx.
After failure in adjustment of grub2 for several times, I reboot with the live cd, and I found that vesafb is not used, and radeon is activated as the video driver.
`hwinfo --framebuffer` indicates that the vbe of my graphic card does not support 1366x768, however I did see that with live cd. I guess all of this should thanks to radeon and kms, while I've no idea about details.
So I just removed fglrx and rebooted.
Then come back my lovely splash and 1366x768 console.

By the way, the gnome tetris works quite well with radeon, but not fglrx.
Wish a better radeon driver soon. fglrx is just too bad.

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

Chasing an IO Phantom

My home server has been weird since months ago, it just becomes unresponsive occassionally. It is annoying but it happens only rarely, so normally I'd just wait or reboot it. But weeks ago I decided to get to the bottom of it. What's Wrong My system set up is: Root: SSD, LUKS + LVM + Ext4 Data: HDD, LUKS + ZFS 16GB RAM + 1GB swap Rootless dockerd The system may become unresponsive, when the IO on HDD  is persistantly high for a while. Also: Often kswapd0 has high CPU High IO on root fs (SSD) From dockerd and some containers RAM usage is high, swap usage is low It is very strange that IO on HDD can affect SSD. Note that when this happens, even stopping the IO on HDD does not always help. Usually restarting dockerd does not help, but rebooting helps. Investigation: Swap An obvious potential root cause is the swap. High CPU on kswapd0 usually means the free memory is low and the kernel is busy exchanging data between disk and swap. However, I tried the following steps, none of the...

Moving Items Along Bezier Curves with CSS Animation (Part 2: Time Warp)

This is a follow-up of my earlier article.  I realized that there is another way of achieving the same effect. This article has lots of nice examples and explanations, the basic idea is to make very simple @keyframe rules, usually just a linear movement, then use timing function to distort the time, such that the motion path becomes the desired curve. I'd like to call it the "time warp" hack. Demo See the Pen Interactive cubic Bezier curve + CSS animation by Lu Wang ( @coolwanglu ) on CodePen . How does it work? Recall that a cubic Bezier curve is defined by this formula : \[B(t) = (1-t)^3P_0+3(1-t)^2tP_1+3(1-t)t^2P_2+t^3P_3,\ 0 \le t \le 1.\] In the 2D case, \(B(t)\) has two coordinates, \(x(t)\) and \(y(t)\). Define \(x_i\) to the be x coordinate of \(P_i\), then we have: \[x(t) = (1-t)^3x_0+3(1-t)^2tx_1+3(1-t)t^2x_2+t^3x_3,\ 0 \le t \le 1.\] So, for our animated element, we want to make sure that the x coordiante (i.e. the "left" CSS property) is \(...
