Everybody knows that mm is just like a kind of playground for 2.6 - so it may be bugged. If You have some problem You can post here of course, but if it seems that its an mm fault - please test pure mm then , and then in error cause , report it to LKML.
NO any kind of nvidia/ati fixes here. It works with my nvidia drivers from portage.
*** Should be no any SMP/SMT related errors this time hehe

| I'll try it later. I hope ATi drivers patch for 2.6.12 still works for 2.6.14. |

| Works fine, except some device nodes don't show up with udev (tried with both versions 068 and 070). Specifically, the /dev/input directory isn't created, nor are the nodes it contains. Creating the directory and nodes manually works fine. There are no relevant lines in dmesg, and I haven't added any new kernel config options. This problem is easily worked around so it's not a huge deal. Everything else seems to work fine. |

Same problem here. I'll investigate further and see if the problem shows up in the -mm, -ck or vanilla levels.

OK , IT seems that its the only one problem, according to LKML its mm's fault.
I'll do next release today (vivid2) with the fix.
Any suggestions , something to add also ?
cheers

| It freezes on boot if I use vesafb-tng. If I disable it (I unpatched it) I can boot normally. This also happens on ck + vesafb-tng-testing-2005091603.patch, so I suppose it's a vesafb-tng bug. That aside, I also lost the /dev/input directory. |

Are You on x86_64?, and previous version of vesa-tng , I mean this not "testing" one is working correct for You ?

A patch to remove 250Hz setting is in ck, You mean to remove it , so to give possibility of choosing 250Hz also ?
OK - I'll remove this one.
cheers.

| Read the 2.6.13-ck4 announce you'll see there is a reason 250 is removed on purpose. |

I did it. I saw what Con said about it on #ck and I know about it.

Nope, I'm on x86. Vesa-tng has always worked fine for me. I've been using ArchCK, which contains vesa-tng, and I've had no problems with it.
Applying vesafb-tng-0.9-rc7-r1-2.6.13-rc6.patch to this kernel results in compile errors (see below) although there are no rejects while applying the patch, so I can't test it.
| Code: | drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x45ebf): In function `vesafb_thread':
: undefined reference to `io_remap_page_range'
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x45ee9): In function `vesafb_thread':
: undefined reference to `io_remap_page_range'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 |
EDIT: Ok, I patched 2.6.14_rc1-ck1 with vesafb-tng-0.9-rc7-r1-2.6.13-rc6.patch and it's working fine, so it's really vesafb-tng fault: the stable version is ok, while the testing one isn't working as it should. |

thanks, I wasn't aware of that. So, if I have a gentoo router (proxy, QoS, distcc and no X11) and gentoo desktop (and laptop to be exact:) ) should I use 100 Hz on router and 1000 Hz on desktop/laptop? |

OK , I'll add latest "stable" version of vesa-tng, the io_remap_page_range error can be fixed by reverse of some patch from mm.
250Hz should be better for SMP but as it seems can provide erros 1000Hz is recommended for desktops/laptops and 100Hz for servers.
cheers.

Yes. The only caveat is if power saving is the most important thing to you on the laptop then you can use 100Hz there, but it is less than 5% difference in power usage, and does cost you in interactivity. |
