Do you have quick and clear solution of the problem? I hope I can use my celeron 850 asap. I don't know what parameter I should pass to setclock , and I can't find clock gen info from leadtek or sis website. Can you give me direct clues? thanks zhu --- ollie lho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >

Greetings, The odds are that your clockgen is from ICS. Look on the board for a chip marked ICS, then search for the part number on Google. That should turn up a data sheet. Most likely, you will need to talk to it through the SMBUS. I just dug up my source. You can grab it from: http://linuxlabs
