Oh, one more question :wink: 

 

cat /proc/cpuinfo shows my 1900+ cpu to be at 1600 even though I have it at 1900 in the bios, and /var/log/messages shows the same. Do you know how to tell the kernel to use it at 1900? Thanks!

As you can see, AMD uses a different thought process than Intel?? AFAIK, AMD says that for example there XP 2000 would run side-by-side with a Intel 2.0Ghz even though it is rated at: cpu MHz : 1659.642

 

I'm really not sure on all of that, or if there just playing a numbers game! :D

Yep, I'm lovin' it! I'm not use to so many bios options. There doesn't seem to be 1 NoPNPOS settitng, but it seems you have to set all the options individually to BIOS. Does that sound right? It's Phoenix Award.

 

What error/s are you getting with nvidia? Are you rebuilding? A gcc compiler error? If so,

export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=true

will get you through it.

 

....and yes, I just might play with the 2.5 and see how it's comming along. I tried it 8-12 mths ago when it was rather young and it was too unstable.

 

I was thinking of giving ML9.1 another shot but I can't even get the mouse going :shock: It's this usb2 crap, which BTW rh9 doesn't have a prob with I guess because it's not in the kernel. I disabled usb2 in the bios and still can't get the Logitech Mouseman Optical Cordless USB mouse to work in ML9.1. So I'm hesitant to even try the install just to have to compile usb2 out of the kernel, if that is what is necessary and would even work. AARRGGGHHH!!!!! I feel like I'm starting over......AGAIN!  

 

Get this......the via82cxxx_audio/AC97 works in the default rh9 gnome2.2 but hangs everything in my unstable rh9 with gnome2.3.3. I haven't looked too much into this yet as far as module.conf entries etc....

 

I will have to try that when I get my RH system backup.

export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=true

 

I was playing with SuSE, and the latest RH9 Kernel started to give me some crazy fast FPS using glxgears, I'm talking FPS 18,000+

 

Everyone else from Gentoo, Slack, Lib, SuSE & the rest of the gang I would range from 2500-4500. I still can't believe it, but I've seen it with my own eyes! :D

[bvc]

I realize it was intel and my celeron 600 was shown as a

model name :Intel Celeron Coppermine 600

cpu MHz : 598.something

 

and when I overclocked it with cpufsb in win98 @ 750, linux showed

model name :Intel Celeron Coppermine 750

cpu MHz : 744.something

 

So if I had a celeron 800 would it have shown about 780? or something? See what I mean the numbers are going down, but could be a overclock/multiplier issue....I don't know. I'll look into it and try and find out because I didn't go through all this and spend the bucks to be ripped off 300MHz :P Besides, other post show users overclocking, though they never post the output of cpuinfo :wink:
