Trying arch now. Well, practically everything (I mean hardware) works well after fine-tuning (especially "videocard" - full acceleration (2D and 3D) + Kernel Mode Setting (nice and smooth for console-only work), ACPI works well, so do sleep and hibernation). Powersaving is really amazing...

Hi all there! I am just wondering how is it possible to make kernel 1-2 Meg in size as it is said in handbook. Now mine is still 5-6 Meg: without debug symbols, firmwares, extra filesystems, etc. Here is whole config: cpu I686_CPU options SMP , SCHED_ULE , PREEMPTION ...

Build server is probably a good idea. But I also think that scripts must do their work properly.

Oh, my third eye... The goal was to enable full building of ports as user (in user-customized dirs), still leaving installation running as root (I don't know what is the point in installing as user, but why compile as root?) to default system dirs. And then make package and clean as user...

Seems solved...But I politely ask some willing and helpful guy to test it if he can! To fix this you need to replace INSTALL_AS_USER with (for example) BUILD_AS_USER in the $PORTSDIR/Mk/bsd.port.mk file as following: line 6103:.if ${UID} != 0 && !defined(BUILD_AS_USER) line 6140:if [ ${UID} !=...

Why I am posting this: All goes well if INSTALL_AS_USER is not set, but when I domake configon arbitrary port, it shows ===> Switching to root credentials to create /home/ports/CONFIG/firefox Password: despite the fact that /home/ports and all subdirs are fully owned and writable by user...

I want to build port as user but install as root (and you all know, that we can't install port as user). Then, why do we have build environment-variable option for this called INSTALL_AS_USER but not BUILD_AS_USER? Anyway, we can't install as user! Another trouble is that when you build (as...

nope

Here is website: http://www.microxwin.com Anybody heard about this project? These guys say: "MicroXwin is binary compatible to the Xlib API. However it is neither client server nor network oriented. Graphics operations are implemented in the linux kernel via a kernel module. An open...

No, this is not the same thread! So, here we are.

Will I be able to rebuild kernel and base system, and build everything by hand with my own compile options instead of just installing precompiled packages in Arch like I do in FreeBSD???

Old gcc is part of base system by default. System is compiled with this old gcc by default.

If I understand it right then You need a fully working ACPI (without any errors) for your mobile system (If not - you can dump it from memory, decompile it and then fix it by hand - but it's a lot of headache). Or, if you're able to change backlight level in Xorg (using xbacklight for example)...

Good morning, users. Don't some of you have any suggestions on what GNU/Linux distro to try after swimming in FreeBSD? I generally chose these: Gentoo, Slackware, No distro (a so-called "Linux From Scratch"). So, which one is more fundamental (simpler, causes less headache, is more...

I've done some cpu load opening two terminal windows with command "cat /dev/random > /dev/null" run on each of them. So, cpu is loaded and consumption under load only adds about 1 Watt per core. Yes, it is probably GPU who is such a hungry beast! Now the only hope is in waiting for some...

No, cpufreq is loaded because I can change frequences. As for loader.rc hints, p4tcc is outdated and unneeded, acpi_throttle.X.disabled=1 removes unneeded 100 to 700 Mhz frequences which are very slow but give no powersaving effects, combinations of [hint.atrtc.X.clock|hint.apic.X.clock]=[0|1]...

C2 has no effect on cpu power consumtion rising under load. So guys, I decide to give you some more info to think of. General battery info: acpiconf -i 0 Design capacity: 6352 mAh Last full capacity: 6300 mAh Technology: secondary (rechargeable) Design voltage...

Added spaces before and after commas. Kernel now compiles OK. Thanks.

I am talking about POWER, not frequency! Regardless of frequency cpu power raises under load, is it on battery or on ac. I've set powerd to always keep frequency at 800 Mhz on battery. It works always keeping frequency at 800 Mhz as it was said. But this does not help either. When laptop is on...
