If you're using cpu frequency scaling, i'd start by disabling it both
in the bios (Cool'n'Quiet) and in GNU/Linux (powernowd).

Re: performance problems with amd64

I've had those problems with previous NVIDIA drivers... but you say
you've tried the nv driver and it was still freezing

So do you run powernowd? Or have you tried disabling Cool & Quiet in the bios?

This very much sound like a hardware problem.
Have you tried:
1) resetting the bios?
2) disabling cool'n'quiet in the bios?
3) changing memory DIMM around (weirdly enough since the MB booklet
disagreed, i've fixed an issue like that)
4) running memtest86?

There could be more...but that's a start.

If it seems to be the same problem, it could help if details were
sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've found the keyboard still works to a limited extent.  If I have a
text tntry window open at the moment of freeze, it continues to accept
input.  If it's an open shell window. I can even execute commands.
But if anything happens to terminate input (such as hitting return on a
URL entry window in a browser) the freeze becomes complete.

I'm not sure whether it is still possible to ssh in from another system
when it freezes.  IN any case when it was possible, it was too slow to
be usable (keypress echo in excess of 15 seconds, protocol delays enough
to time out during initial connection)

Re: Compiz + AIGLX + Nvidia HOWTO

I was asking this because with the new nvidia drivers, you don't need
to use AIGLX anymore. GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is directly
implemented in the driver.

Therefore you can use direct rendering and gain much performance.

I quote from $(man compiz.real):

   --indirect-rendering
  Force an indirect rendering context. Use this when running  com-
  piz on AIGLX.

I actually didn't ask myself any questions and just followed the manpage
hint. Should try without then :)

Re: The fan of the laptop never stops with amd64

2005-08-29 Thread Pascal Giard
Are you using powernowd?
powernowd allows dynamic cpu frequency and core voltage scaling.

For instance, my 1800MHz (1.5V) runs at 1001MHz (1.1V) most of the time.
Of course, the side effect is lower power (heat) dissipation so the
fan(s) can slow down.

Re: a8n-sli gigabit lan

2005-08-09 Thread Pascal Giard
Hi Clyde,
 you make yourself hard to help...
It's very unclear as to what works, what doesn't and what you've tried.

Is your module loaded? I believe it's sk98lin...

You say that your realtek chipset is the only one detected...
is this based on ifconfig's output?

Once the module loaded, is the interface detected? what is the output
of "ifconfig -a"? do you have two interfaces?

Re: powernow-k8 woes -- need help diagnosing intermittent failure

Hi John,
  so, after ~13 hours of building python2.4 every 30mins caused 882 transitions.

My cpu is currently idling at 1001MHz 1.1V and there's no sign of
error. I'm sorry but i'm unable to reproduce your problem. :(

Let me remind you that i've an Athlon 64 2800+ (130nm) running on an
Asus K8V-X (VIA K8T800). I'm running an up to date Debian unstable
with the official 2.6.12-1-amd64-k8.

Let me know if there's something else i can do.

Hi John,
 so far so good, 86 transitions total among which 43 were from 1001MHz
to 1802MHz.

No sign of error and  it still switches fine.

okay, i'll try with that one for at least 6 hours.

i'm using Debian's 2.6.12-1-amd64-k8.

thank you for this tip. i'm now using this.

Ok, i've created a cron job that builds emovix every  30mins.
I've tested that it provokes a switch from 1.001GHz 1.1V to 1.8GHz 1.5V.

So far, 10 switches have occured, still no problem.
I'll let it go at least a day and come back to you.

Hi John,
  i've the exact same processor you have but with an Asus K8V-X

I've just started powernow. I'll run it for the day and see what happens.

Have found any hint on how to reproduce the problem?
