hey guys. Do you can use USB 2.0 at full speed.

Here, my card reader is too slow. Somebody mentioned this also in a previous version of nitro.

Who can help me?

Sorry, I can't help you; I have two USB 2.0 devices (a soundcard and a hard drive) and both work fast simultaneously.

Even with swap prefetch disabled, my computer is uber slow with both the anticipatory (non-genetic) and CFQ shedulers. The moment I "swapoff -a", it flies. WTF? Next I'll try 2.6.13.1-nitro1 and see what happens.

Confirmed... even swap prefetch disabled doesn't completely resolve it, in fact at times it almost seems worse...

I tried 2.6.13.1-nitro1. Much better, though not quite as good as 2.6.12-morph7 on my machine.
So, what are the differences between the two releases of nitro?

You're probably seeing the bug with the write throttling patch which was removed from ck6 but is still on this aging :wink: kernel.

Now this is weird, my openoffice-ximian starts to segment fault with this kernel. It doesn't "segment fault completely" in the sense that once I restart X, everything will be fine, but this is really annoying. Anybody has experienced same problem?

You see that with DRI permission problems because oo.o uses DRI.

I'm not sure what you mean, the only error message I see (when start it from a terminal-emulator) is just "segmentation fault".

nitro2, seppe? ;)

Not yet, sorry. I'm pretty busy these days for my work. But there is a very little chance that I make a 2.6.13.2-nitro2 in my oh so precious weekend. But next week I certainly don't have the time for it. I'll see what I can do this weekend, but I don't promise anything.

Yes that's right you get a meaningless error that occurs as a result of DRI permissions.

Why not try the ck5 to ck6 patch from the ck web site? It probably applies cleanly to nitro apart from the makefile which is a harmless reject.

For those who want to keep right up to date, I released archck6 last week, based on ck6. I have just updated it to the latest prefetch which should fix some of the ooms that people are having. ck6 also saw the withdrawl of an experimental patch, which saw some hangs and pauses.

Ebuilds, here but I am not sure if they are up to date. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103354

edit: sorry to those who got a bootsplash patch, I accidentally uploaded the wrong one :) fbsplash is up now.

works fine on amd64 , did apply the amd64 x2 patch to fix the "lost ticks" issue ...
and, to my surprise, suddenly alsa seems to have gained hw mixing on snd_intel8x0 !

This problem has been seen on amd64 on both nitro, archck and vanilla. It isnt patchset related.

I have sent an email to nigel, the developer of software suspend and we will hopefully see a fix soon. :)

You can use multiple programs at once without an icky sound daemon such as artS or esd.

Chances are, he is just using the newer alsa software dmix. I am pretty sure that the intel integrated audio are not capable of hw mixing.

True, but i haven't set up dmix in my .asoundrc . So either alsa has "grown" a new functionality that enables it to activate dmix transparantly, or the intel ac97 driver knows how to use the hw mixing capabilities of my mainboard (which is an ac97 thing on an asus a8n-sli deluxe, lspci reports nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller , and it's using the Realtek ALC850 chip ). I am really intrested how it works...

Latest alsas enable dmix by default, without an asound config.
