Just in case you mist it:

Nvidia-driver 173.08 is now included in main portage tree. It contains the 2.6.26-pre compatibility patch.

Masked beta driver 173.08 with upstream patch from Zander (
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=1648357&postcount=35 ) for
>=2.6.26-rc1 compatibility. Dropped keywords as this has only been tested
on 2.6.26-rc1-00166-gc0a1811 SMP x86_64 so far. Now installs module
control file in modprobe.d where it belongs. Upstream advises to use PAT
over MTRR. Some reports of low performance and 2D corruption, tread
carefully.

Maybe you didn't compile subversion with proper HTTP support -

you guys noticed the same "behavior" ?

Yes, I did benchmarks with hdparm -t -T and bfq was around 10MB/s per-seconds slower than anticipatory.
Also bfq temporarily freezes my system when growisofs is preparing to burn a dvd-r.BFQ has much better interactivity otherwise, though.
I'll post benchmarks later.

I have been out of the loop in kernel shit for a while, just getting back into it, so I missed when BFQ came out, i first tried it on .25-zen and though it was absolutely horrid, I am not using .26-zen and I still think it sucks, i get those micro freeze like you ... what kernel are you on?

That report says BFQ/CFQ has better interactvity than noop/anticipatory/deadline, but with a regression in pure IO performance - I'm surprised this is even a complaint, pure throughput always causes interactivity lossage and vice versa, its the same with pre-emption and HZ settings.

This is definitely not what you're encountering.

I am running the zen-sources git from repo.or.cz on a debian system and recently switched from bootsplash to fbcondecor. Unfortunately, the background only appeared on the first two consoles and I could not enable it on the other consoles. Earlier today, though, I recompiled my kernel after changing a few minor configuration items, and now I only get the fbsplash background on the second console. This recent behavior has me fully convinced that what I am experiencing is a bug. I would like help trying to resolve it and get fbsplash working fully on my system.

Can anyone help with this?

I should note, that I still prefer bfq over anticipatory and the rest, despite the current problems with it.Intertactivity is much better than anticipatory in most cases, and cfq seems to have more of these corner cases than bfq.

EDIT: I ran the benchmarks again, and I don't seem to be getting any major differences between bfq/anticipatory/cfq.

Had some freezes with bfq and .25, too. Disabled swap prefetching as suggested by KernelOfTruth earlier in this thread and no more freezes since.

BTW: Anyone got NVIDIA < 173.08 running with .26? Won't emerge for me...

let me try to disable swap prefetching and see if that's
the problem.

Works fine here for me (1st boot with .26 and nvidia 169.12 few seconds ago). I modified the ebuild to apply the patch AFTER the regular patches included in portage.
