Works fine here, except some strange warning in dmesg with the nvidia module :
| Code: | NVRM: PAT index 2 already configured for Write-Combining!
NVRM: Aborting, due to PAT already being configured
NVRM: memory caching type 0x2 not supported for memory space 3! |
| Code: | cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0xb0000000 (2816MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=1
reg02: base=0xe0000000 (3584MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=1 |
(Err, I don't remember how it looks usually, so this output might be normal)
(Using agpgart, Via KT880, nvidia's module agp driver doesn't support this chip AFAIK)
It doesn't seem to be harmful, but, who knows ^^
I don't remember if I had those warnings with a vanilla -rc3, but I'm sure I didn't have them with a -rc2
Thanks for you work ! |

I have the same chipset and also nvidia card, this warning appears here too, but its probably harmless, as my glxgears reports higher FPS
than all other kernels
BTW, it looks like swsusp2 guys finally cleaned up the havoc in their code

About the VMWare problem:
Replace the /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl with this one. Set executable rights and run it. This should help to configure VMWare fine if you run a kernel patchset with LOWMEM patch included.
If you still have problems to configure or run VMWare you may cleanup your sources and run the configuration script again or try re-emerge VMWare. I don't know why, but I had also problems to start VMWare although the configuration script runs fine. So I had to tinker a bit and than it worked.

I got vmware working (without using the vmware-config.pl from b3cks, but i have highmem, so i dont need them)... Here is what i did:
Reboot the fresh kernel
rm /etc/vmware/not_configured
/opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl (the c header files at /lib/modules/2.6.14-rc3-nitro1/build/include)
restarted
started vmware
the restarting step should be not needed, but i forgot something in the kernel and so had to. |

I have this warning on all the 2.6.14-rc2-mm series kernels. See here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5319 (comment #1 is mine).
Unfortunately, X doesn't initialize for me with the nvidia drivers. Tried both with kernel agpgart and nvidia's AGP drivers.
I should have a chance to try this kernel in a couple of hours or so, I'll let you know if it works... |

I've just noted that i get the same errors on my system, but while Tiger's nvidia driver seems to work, mine are clearly broken: glxgears reports about 2 FPS and i'm unable to run any opengl application. 
The positive aspect of the problem is that all other apps work fine. |

Nvidia driver: 1.0.7676
Edit: i've just realized that maybe the driver behaves differently because we use different versions of X.org. Actually i'm using 6.8.99.15-r3 (portage version). |

well... maybe disabling fastwrites helps,.. or siedeband adressing. (i switched these 2 options off)
edit: time to go to bed now, very late here , but i want to say one more thing. Thank you very much for releasing such a great version of your kernel. it works very smooth here,... and gn8 all  |

| Gf 6800 / KT880 / AGP 8X / Fastwrite On / SBA On / Xorg 6.8.99.15 / Nvidia 7676 / normal glxgears, still up ^^ So, for me, the warnings seems harmless |

Only one problem with theis kernel. Ndiswrapper will not work with WPA.
I'll have to stick with the 2.6.13.2 release. |

Running very nicely here.
I tried 2.6.13.2-nitro1 before and wasn't very impressed (it seems like a lot of people had trouble), but this new version makes me very happy that I tried Nitro out again. Great stuff. Thanks for getting this released. |

What version of ALSA is in this release Tiger?
EDIT: Whoa what the fuck!? I just tried to play three different games all of which now have HORRIBLE performance. SuperTux is getting 0.6 FPS! YES, 0.6! glxgears is giving me 2.2FPS! What the hell happened? I'm running the latest nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, made sure i'm using the nvidia opengl module, not doing anything in the background, using an Nvidia 6600GT PCI-E. I made sure to recompile those nvidia modules against the new kernel like usual.....What's going on? |

Linux njama 2.6.14-rc3-nitro1 #2 PREEMPT Sun Oct 9 10:21:02 CEST 2005 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3700+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
1G ram,
reiser4 everywhere except 50MB on /boot,
glxgears (slightly less fps, cca 8000 instead of 8500 on 6600GT)
vmware 5.5 works (even with those errors during vmware-config)
nfs is working again (killed during start witch .14-rc1-mm1)
skge and forcedeth working (skge need about 30 packets to start, I don't know why, maybe some switch issues (3COM SS 4400), connection is bridged between skge intf and forcedeth intf for my second box)
Seems like another excelent kernel for me
Thanks to all nitro-devs |

I have a PCI-E card, not an AGP one.
Maybe there are some problems with PCI-E hardware

About VGA: i have an AGP one too, so chances are there is some breakage in rc (or git) regarding PCIE.
About Alsa: stock kernel version, rc-git is most likely having also git-alsa, so lets save cvs for 2.6.14 final
cheers

Hey guys, im having the same problem that i had with 2.6.13.2-nitro1.
| Code: | PikleBox linux # make
CHK include/linux/version.h
UPD include/linux/version.h
SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86_64
SPLIT include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*

Am i doing something wrong ? I don't have suspend2 enabled in my kernel either.

Oh my god, terrible 3d performance here with a GeForce PCX 5900 PCI Express.
Everything was fine with linux-2.6.13.2-nitro1. But now:

glxgears is giving these results:
