Last I checked, genetic was considered to be useless outside of finding good tunable values or for finding values for an extremely odd workload, which means, most patchsets should NOT include genetic for desktop usage, unless the creator has an extremely odd workload. |
correct, genetic is useless piece of code causing more overhead than any (placebo-) gain.
regarding vesafb-tng: i would've done it, but i wanted to push it out soon enough to be the first patchset on ck4  |
Just a friendly tip, but, rushed releases tend to end up with alot of little problems. I like to take my time and test things, even if the release isn't fast.

Ditto. And it pays off. ArchCK4, which also has staircase and CK4 is very stable right now.
JaQoB: Yes, this release includes Con's Staircase scheduler. Take a look at the benchmarks here, it rips through O in nearly every benchmark.

[off-topic] So if genetic is out of the question, the next best thing would be...? [/off-topic]

Con recommends CFQ for desktop users, I can vouch that CFQ is a very nice I/O scheduler, so, that'd be my recommendation as well. In fact, since this patchset includes the full ck4, CFQ is the default.

ok, i will work out the first __REAL__ release really soon (i hope )
EDIT:
Without making any hopes, but it should be really soon, and with a hidden performance surprise...
Also, looks like it might make it to the "stable" - status, we will see

Is the hidden performance suprise going to be -ck4 and the new staircase 13.0?

No, that would be neither hidden nor surprise, and also not new
a small modification i made to the scheduler to make it a little.....snappier 
EDIT: compiletesting right now, looking good ....

Tiger683,
You put that vga=03xx for 1280x1024.
What would I put for that param if I had 1024x768@60?

I cannot get to compile it. Linking somehow fails :
| Code: |
LD init/built-in.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
drivers/built-in.o:(.data+0x48cc): référence indéfinie vers « cfb_fillrect »
drivers/built-in.o:(.data+0x48d0): référence indéfinie vers « cfb_copyarea »
drivers/built-in.o:(.data+0x48d4): référence indéfinie vers « cfb_imageblit »
drivers/built-in.o:(.data+0x48d8): référence indéfinie vers « soft_cursor »
make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Erreur 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/sam150/kernel/linux-2.6.14'
make: *** [stamp-build] Erreur 2
|
"référence indéfinie" means "unknown reference"
