It's the new CFQ. I'm thinking of getting rid of that for now.

I was also thinking the same. It might also win us some friends from x86_64, I think it's breaking their compiles (although it looks like just missing syscalls and shouldn't be a big deal to fix).

Is there anyone that actually cares about the extra IO features?

I suggest dont release too many love sources
or test it on a small group then release it here public a kernel is too important to install broken stuff

I'd say it's up to the end user to decide which kernel he wants, either he wants a stable one or tries the bleeding edge at his own risk

love-sources ARE bleeding edge (for the most part). That is the original purpose of them. If you don't want it, use something else. That's what choice is for.

Hello Everyone,

I decided to test drive the love sources to see by myself why are they so praised on the forums. So far I've managed to compile and boot without problems, but I wanted to take advantage of the High Refresh Rate patch for frame buffer, but it doesn't seem to work.

I want to use Bootsplash plus vesafb at resolution of 1024x768@85Hz. So far Bootsplash works at the resolution I want, but only at 60 Hz.

Any ideas were is the problem coming from?

Below I include the result of the the script to set the refresh rates and my grub conf:

you need to chmod +x scripts/vesa_modeline_gen.pl

anwere the questions, then recompile

I am currently running with bootsplash enabled on my 1280x1024@85 vesa frambuffer

hope this helps

I thought about trying the love-sources ebuilds. I can't get the Win4Lin patches to work with either the love-sources nor the mm-sources. I can get the patches to apply manually to ck-sources. When I try to manually apply to the love-sources, there are errors when making the modules. Looks like I'm stuck with either the development-sources for which it applies without errors or the ck-sources.

evil-sources has the win4lin patch included and i have a tracker bug on http://bugzilla.andrewnelson.org (bug #2) because i don't own win4lin, all i know is that the win4lin code compiles cleanly.

gungholady · Post by **gungholady** » Tue Mar 23, 2004 12:26 pm

Thanks. I'll check it.

gungholady · Post by **gungholady** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 1:35 am

Win4lin did not work neither did my bootsplash. I used the same configuration that I use for the ck sources with which win4lin and bootsplash work.

Evil Dark Archon · Post by **Evil Dark Archon** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 2:21 am

ok, might want to file a bug report with the wolk project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wolk) because they are the people behind the patch.

gungholady · Post by **gungholady** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 3:09 am

I'll do that.
