Hi all,
I just compiled 2.4.4 and are running it on a Serverworks LE motherboard.
Whenever I try to add a write-combining region, it gets rejected. I took a peek

Linux 2.4 is surely one of the most advanced OSs ever happened, especially
from the optimization point of view and for the admirable economy of concepts
on which it lies. I definitively hope that X15 helps reinforcing the success
to this amazing system.
TUX has definitively been my performance

Nevertheless I don't know how much this is interesting in real life, since on

The biggest single issue in GUI responsiveness on Linux has been caused
by XFree86's implementation of mouse tracking in user space.
On typical UNIX systems, the mouse was often controlled in the kernel

Hi,
I am kernel newbie, especially with logging filesystems.
Now I am using Mandrake 7.1 with 2.4.3 kernel and imon patch
and NVidia drivers compiled into the kernel.
Now, all my partitions are ReiserFS. I usually play quake once
or twice a day. Sometimes graphics subsystem freezes up, so it
Great. I'm running 4.02. How do I enable silken mouse?
Thanks,

I'm currently running the following:

gcc 2.95.3
modutils 2.4.2

The problem is, after compiling the 2.4.4 kernel with the exact
configuration as I had used on the 2.4.3 kernel, my system hangs at:
