I know I said it would be out Monday, but Sunday is close enough.
Changes from previous nitro/includes

When I saw 2.6.10 was released I knew I wouldn't take until monday.
I have been using 2.6.8-nitro6 since it was released, but now it's time to move to 10 due to some DVB improvements and the "nitro enhancements" of course. And I'll stay with the even numbers

EDIT:
I put the patch file in the wrong directory..

So shoot me

Ignore this post
thanks

A small issue:

Set up the ebuild in local, ran the digest command and got to this error:

rm · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 25 Oct 2004 Posts: 87

download the patch file from the original post (link under the ebuild file link)
Move this patch file to /usr/portage/distfiles
and try again :lol:

bye,
rm

Yeah, I had another issue with the ebuild and forgot to change the link again. Should work now if you redownload the ebuild.

I seem to have really bad luck with these ebuilds for some reason...

It took 5 attempts to download the Nitro patch (1 error 404, 4 connection timeouts), but I got it. If you have trouble getting the patch, I've mirrored it here temporarily. Md5sum of the patch I have is 783bf7a17c3571731de7e07cb7d37dc8. Hopefully darckness can post here to confirm that's the correct and complete patch.

Merry Christmas, happy new year, and may all your -nitro kernels compile cleanly!

Yup, that's the right md5sum.

Working perfectly so far:

and it appears to be much faster than the 2.6.9 nitro I was using...
subjective view only of course

building atm

btw, any links with at least a short description of each patch? i don't really know what some of them do (for example config_hz, chmp, cflags-selection-for-nitro, orinoco, hostap)

Run's GREAT:

with -cko patch:

y0zza · n00b Joined: 30 Jul 2004 Posts: 68

No inotify patch?

Would it be possible to have inotify and time-sliced CFQ (info) in the next release?

bet1m, was the cko time with 2.6.10-cko1?

discomfitor · l33t Joined: 21 Feb 2003 Posts: 927 Location: None

y0zza: I'll look into those for the next release.

USE flags do nothing to this ebuild. You have to enable it in the kernel.

does anyone else notice that alsa 1.07 is really choppy for games? Alsa 1.06 isnt. I've tried built in and modules. No help. Any suggestions? No sound daemons here and I have an Audigy 2.

feld: I too have an Audigy 2, and I don't use any sound daemons. I notice no choppiness for games (or anything, for that matter) since switching to alsa 1.0.7, and I've been using 1.0.7 for almost a month now.

do you play Americas Army? I play that mostly. And it gets really choppy in firefights and the background ambience noises seem to skip and replay. I'm gonna try some more testing with settings and more games but this is super annoying for me lol.

edit: ok i did more testing and it does it in all my games. AA, UT2004, Doom3, NwN. 1.06 never did this. And now i'm quite angered by this crap cuz i want it back to being so smoooth like it was before. I dont have the sound for my motherboard enabled in the kernel and it isnt seen as far as i can tell so it can't be interfering with that.

any further thoughts on this?
