2960, 3123, 4191... And the kernel...

Having some problems...

First, 4191 is slooowwww...

Ick...

Back to 2960... nice and fast and stable.

But the patch I have to bring the kernel bits into kernel 2.5.53 doesn't work for 2960...

So... Anyone know if there is either...

A) A patch to being 2960 up to spec with the new module-init-tools, or
B) A patch to make 4191 not so godawful slow.

Anyone?

I'm afraid you're stuck waiting like the rest of us (unless linuxbugs@ smiles on you and send you a test driver set) on the 1.0-4191 "slowness." Did you try the tips I mentioned in #nvidia?

1.0-2960 can probably be fudged enough to work with 2.5.53+, but I can't vouch for it.

I tried the solid background thing, helped a little, less visually appealing though

I suppose that a small sacrifice, but I'd still like to be able to cure the problem, rather than just bend around the symptoms.

And the 2960 stuff I don't doubt it, but I'm not a kernel hacker, I got the patch for 4191 from somebdy else, and they only had the 4191 stuffs, googling for a 2960 patch gives nothing useful.

But on the plus side I've been running 4191 on 2.5.53 for about seven hours, played UT2K3 a bit, and shot some rounds of foobiliard, no oopses yet.

Hmm...

Thats odd..

It's working quick now...

Maybe it just needed a push, but it's working much cleaner now since I played a round of ut2k3, maybe it needed a little push.

Still slower than 2960, but barely noticable.
