I never noticed them in the other kernels before. Maybe they weren't in there then? I haven't used an unpatched kernel in a long time.

I put Nitro on an old Compaq laptop. It is not true that these kernels only add new features that are only of use to some people. 4K stacks and register arguments, along with those fancy schedulers, make the laptop seem very responsive. You usually can't use 4K stacks and register arguments if you ...

I have a Lego Mindstorms serial IR tower thingy if anybody knows how to make that work(I've pretty much given up hope on the Sigmatel)

I got a /dev/ircomm0 device, and it looks like it should be a serial line with the way I have seen it used in some guides. If I say "cat /dev/ircomm0" I don't get any output there, but the irdump output changes to include "ircomm". Pointing a remote at the dongle and pressing buttons does not change ...

I bought a USB IrDA dongle in hopes that I would be able to use it to change the channel on my sattilite reciever(this is neccesary for MythTV to function), but I haven't been successful in getting it to work. I seem to have gotten IrDA networking instead of a serial port interface. Does anybody ...

[quote="trpn"]Don't mind me, right now I wish that I had bought an Nvidia card.[/quote]
I was thinking of getting one this weekend. I might wait for the next set of drivers. It depends on the availability of GeForce 6 cards and 64bit Athlon computers with PCIE.

The 3.12 kernel module won't compile for me. It looks like it patched the kernel sources multiple times.

I have the money, but I would have to upgrade my mother board to make it a worth while upgrade. I could probably do it. I will have to look at it this weekend. I should go mention on the petition that I have been forced to switch to NVidia because their drivers don't work at all when I do. I guess ...

I don't think that you should manually change the .config file. The build scripts probably don't look for any conflicting options in your .config settings, and it looks like you might have 4k stacks turned on. Try using "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" instead.

PS:- i haven;t been able to rectify my age old problem with text files on reiser4.....whenever i edit/create a file in pico/vim it waits for a while b4 retirning to console, saying writing.... in pico..........i have tried all available kernels so i don;t think it could be a kernel problem but then ...

Make sure that you're /usr/src/linux symlink points to the kernel version that you are using(uname -r).

To get rid of the ATI stuff were the monitor stops getting a signal, you need to disable DGA. You might need to update to the latest drivers on all your kernels because there is a module component. I have some kernel module option about AGPLock in my xorg.conf because this fixes crashes with Blender ...

Will somebody please releave the confusion us Nitro n00b's are having by giving instructions as to how I should get this ck5 patch set into Nitro and then that other stuff too, or updating the ebuild so that we can be lazy.

This is starting to sound complicated. Mostly because I don't know who people are addressing, I think. What should I do? Just reverse the watermark patch and then apply the hard swappiness patch?

Wow. "swappiness" is in the spellchecker. Why not USB and such?

I'll try again with the plain VESA(not the tng) and the reversed/added patches. I still don't know about that mouse strangeness. My tablet(mouse #2) doesn't work under X right now. It has all of the drivers loaded, and the Xorg logs confirm it(xxd and wacdump too), but nothing happens when I move ...

I don't know about the hotplugging, but it works fine with the Gentoo sources. My second mouse and my Bluetooth adapter are USB also, but they don't need to be disconnected and reconnected(I was reseting the second mouse because the order was wrong).
800x600 in the console and X it looks like ...

2.6.8.1-nitro5 is extremely slow, messes up my first USB mouse(I have to unplug both mice and then plug them back in), and gets my display stuck at 800x600. Athlon XP 2400+. 1GB RAM. Radeon 9800Pro(drivers installed)

:oops: Thank you

I am trying to get UT2004 to work with SpeechD and Festival through the use of DMix. I had everything working, and then I tried to run UT2004 with TTS. The text would play only after I had quit. So now it uses ESD, but in order for SpeechD and Festival to use the same ESD I must start ESD at boot ...

You might want to try K3B.

If you have a wireless mouse like the Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 3 you shouldn't see any improvements from either tweak.

Were you messing with the console or config file? That can be done with the wait command I have discovered.

Don't use mv -R(it says "invalid option -- R", and mv moves the whole tree so recursing will give you errors). You will need to change your fstab if your Linux partition numbers change, and they proabably will if Windows is the first partition. You will need to reinstall your bootloader(not reemerge ...
