Schedtool

[ac_dispatcher]

I recently found out that the kernel I use (nitro) has a patch that makes games in cedega choppy. I found a cool program to fix the error-

 

its called schedtool and it works like this:

 

$schedtool -I -e cedega game.exe

 

I have tried useing the "nice" cmmand in the past with little help but schedtool works great.

 

Via google I found Mandy has it too

Try it out

Additional note:

 

This only applies if your kernel uses the staircase+sched* patches..

 

if you get something like:

 

ERROR: could not set PID 0 to I: SCHED_ISO - policy not implemented

 

You dont need schedtool

 

Edit:

Even though I use Gentoo with the "nitro" kernel - since I found the same program for Mandy 10 I figured someone may need it.

You still can use it to change the priority level (schedtool -n -15 <PID> Where pid is the pid for X, arts
