Hey Just booted with this kernel - perhaps a slight improvement in boot up performance - not sure really will time it next time, but bogomips reported 1495.04 so CPU should be running full speed. I switched the cpu freq setting from userspace to performance, and switched on PS2 mouse support. Sound appears to be working fine, suspend is fixed and yes, the HDD blink is cool. Good job guys.

Re: 2.6.12-rc4 lots faster than any kernel before?
PowerBook 5,4 My XFree86 config has corepointer set to /dev/psaux. The new kernel config has PS2 disabled, so /dev/psaux was not available I'm assuming that's why it wouldn't start. Enabling PS2 mouse support re-enabled the psaux interface, apparently it is a legacy option but does exactly the same thing as /dev/input/mice. I'm getting strange i2c related messages now though in my /var/log/syslog. I'd better fix my X config and change kernel back to how it was.

Re: 2.6.12-rc4 lots faster than any kernel before?

Enabling PS2 mouse support re-enabled the psaux interface, apparently it is a legacy option but does exactly the same thing as /dev/input/mice. I'm surprised but maybe it does nowadays, I haven't looked for a while. Still, the proper solution is to use directly /dev/input/mice I'm getting strange i2c related messages now though in my /var/log/syslog.

2.6.12-rc4 lots faster than any kernel before?
Hi All I just built and installed 2.6.12-rc4: This beast really seems to run faster than ever since I've seen a kernel *anywhere* since I started using Linux about 4 years ago: Booting goes so fast I have problems to read all messages on console during the system start .. Not being sure: I did my own config (enabling LED Blink again :, so it might be my kernel .config is a reason ... but I don't believe that: I think it's 2.6.12 :) And I don't say everything is running smooth: Alsa didn't start, and pbbuttonsd doesn't seem to know how to handle userspace PM ... Or it's my mistake ... don't know yet: With these glitches I'll be back later here, starting another thread. Perhaps. Am I the only who got impressed? Whatever: Thanks a lot to the kernel developpers (You know who you are ... :) Best Regards Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Pfeiffer http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
