Re: [Announce] kernel-power v49
 

@pali, https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6996
does this have something to do with kernel? *not kernel power*
im on pr1.3 + kp49.. and yea.. it never went away *pr1.3 didnt fix it*
can you do something about it, or guide me to the appropriate forum?

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v49
 

Is it possible to overclock DSP beyond 600 MHz? I tried

and editing my OC profile but

shows only 600 MHz. Even tried higher freqs than 610 but nothing happened and the DSP performance didn't change.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v49
 

I don't think you'll be pushing it further than that. It's probably just not enabled in the kernel. 600MHz on the C64x is pretty high - higher than the stock clock for the 3530's.

BTW, Palm Pre devices are supposedly running at 1.2GHz. Can we pull that off on the N900 or are we capped to 1.15?

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v49
 

I like the way this man thinks.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v49
 

Here's a curiosity, gents.

Same-day flash, PR1.3 ; changed MyDocs to ext3 (as per http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=73478), resized /home partition via custom eMMC (used the hexedit method) swap on sdcard (as per http://wiki.maemo.org/User_talk:Westwallpoma#Swap_Space).

Installed power-kernel from Fapman, reboot and hildon has no theme. Not font, no nothing :)

Checking the filesystem and /opt is empty apart from a phython directory. Checked mounts /opt is definitely bind mounted from /home/opt which is the same.

Very odd. I've done this a couple of times now - following the same steps and taking various other (subsequently proven to be) non-effecting steps out. Very near the end of discovering what the problem is. Just wondered if anybody else encountered such an issue.

Note - nothing obvious from searching this thread.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v49
 

I don't think this has anything to do with kernel-power, but:

The directory /usr/share/themes/ contains all the stored themes.
The currently applied theme is just a symlink at /etc/hildon/theme pointing to one of the installed themes.
Make sure that that is pointing to a correct and existing theme.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v49
 

Sorry if this has been already answered or if it has nothing to do with kernel power... but since I installed v48 I'm having a strange problem:
When I write a SMS or in the terminal, if I held down the backspace key, it only erase one character. Before installing kernel power, when I held down a key, it kept doing the action untill I stop pressing. With backspace, the arrow keys, etc.

What can I do?

Thanks and sorry for my english.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v49
 

Not related to KP. This behavior was introduced in Nokia Pr 1.3 update, and mainly result in putting special (Alt Gr, i.e numbers) character, when You hold button for a while. It can be disabled by editing some gconf2 entry, + there is a package in repos that adds statusmenu applet to enable/disable this "feature" on demand.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v49
 

Thanks a lot mate. I'll look for the repo.

EDIT: "Keyboard Repeat Switcher" did the trick.
Thx.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v49
 

new build of pre release v49 is on standard place

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

I just needed to post a big THANK YOU to pali and the rest of the developers for the hard work and dedication. Many of us appreciate it more than you could ever imagine.

Thank you again for everything.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

New thread about *development* here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=78371

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

Hi Pali thanks for the kernel v49,after instaling this kernel media player can not reproduce any format.Any ideas

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

I can confirm the issue. There is a bug in this release which affects video decoding.
You'll have to revert to kp48 or wait for a new release and use mplayer in the meanwhile.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

Raise your voltages (and reboot before trying again)

EDIT: and remove the battery before powerup

EDIT2: Seems there is a problem, give me some time until I find it

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

Ok.I have installed mplayer but interesting things with mplayer i can watch 720p clips.Problem is a sound hurry than picture,i try overclock on 950mhg but no chance.Anyway thanks to Freemangordon and Maacrus

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

I'd rather keep my overclocking/voltage profiles than lose more battery and overheat the cpu just to have the capacity to play 720p which I won't use.
You should include those patches only if they don't break the low voltage profile except for those who want to use the feature.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

There is no way watching 720p using only CPU, you need DSP to handle that.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

Is there a way to manage to this

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

Those DSP patches are included since kp48, excluding the last one which brings troubles. I found what the problem is and will send new patch to pali. Anyway KP49 is clearly marked as UNSTABLE and it is still even not in extras-devel. That should mean something, ain't it?

I am human too and make mistakes as all humans do, i.e. sh|t happens.

Anyway apologies to you and anyone else who has troubles with KP49 because of my last patch to DSP driver.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

Not all of them.
From git:
And this thread is clearly more recent than kp48
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=77695
so I was supposing you were adding patches in support for such feature, although of course I may be wrong.
I thank you for your effort
I'm fully aware of that. What's more, I installed the new testing kernel to be able to check dissapear's problems.
Of course. Nor I'm accusing you of anything. Please don't read too much into my post.
No need to apologize at all.

But you said:
So it seemed you expected the patches to break common use overclocking/voltage profiles.
So I have to state: Please don't add such patches if they break overclocking/voltage profiles in users who don't use the new features.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

Sorry, but can't agree. There is no such thing as "breaking stability of low voltage profiles". First of all, if after this path Your "profiles" become unstable, that means they were unstable already, just to much less noticeable level. Just fix them.

Second, commonly used (aka titan's ones - ideal, xlv etc) profiles are depreciated, and for long time (reportedly) responsible for slow filesystem corruption.

Just don't demand profiling development of *anything* to cope with broken methods, like over-undervolting or insanely scaled (between frequencies) voltage profiles. By the way, to be honest, I think every package should be expected to work on *stock* voltages - that said, I use custom voltage profile, that I created with much time and testing involved. It's just insane to request developing of things having compatibility with undervolting/overclocking as first priority! It's normal way, that You *may* want to overclock to achieve certain things (like smooth 720p playback), but it doesn't work other way around (develop everything for 250 mhz only, or for low voltage profiles).

sorry, but IMO Your request is like:

/Estel

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

So, what are the replacement's for Titan's profiles then? I haven't seen package kernel-power-settings updated neither for kp48 nor kp49. Please elaborate.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

Guys, lets quit this voltages discussion, what causes DSP MMU FAULT is cache incoherency (which was supposed to be prevented by the last patch). Instead it made it worse. If someone makes an effort to look at it (it is not so big) will see. It has nothing to do with clocks/voltages.

Nope, as I already explained this patch has nothing to do with voltages. Neither I expected it to break DSP driver for stock libbridge. Just open it and you will see. It is pointless to draw such conclusions out of the air without first looking at the code (being a developer)

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

Hmm, I just watched Inception (with 800x480 H.264 Baseline Profile) on my N900 from start to finish with the stock media player, with the newest KP49, at 500,36;430.

Oh, and the voltage profiles as provided by titan don't work for everyone - they're supposed to be a base for increasing/decreasing voltage.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

@Hurrian - seems there is a problem with mpeg4(or whatever it is called), H264 works ok.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

I still cant be load the bq2700 modules, I tried to clean refresh , still nil help.
And I checked /sys bq2700, the uevent can read the value, but others files got nothing value inside

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

Those damned Milahergs are always playing me up.

This Kernel business seems so damn complicated. I'm too scared to do any of this until I get another N900. :(

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

Maybe you're right, but I just wanted to overclocking dsp(digital signal procesor)but it did not manage to write correct command.Try with:"echo 1 > /sys/power/dsp_opps_rate" this shoud be load cpu/dsp by default,or leafpad ~/usr/sbin/kernel-config and then i choice for example 900:50:600 but is a problem how can i overclocking dsp to 600 аfter typing this command on terminal:cat /sys/power/dsp_opps_rate values ​​starting from 50 and ending with 520. With two words I totally confused

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49

Sorry my mistate. Run this:

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

I have built for me a kp49 build without the last dsp patches (one of which causes the media player problem), similar to the sep 21 build.
The ramzswap module also has stats enabled (they can be shown with "rzscontrol -s"), for those willing to play with it.
I'm making it available for anyone stuck with the last kp49 who doesn't want to go back to kp48, till a new kp49 build is available.
You'll find it here: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=2036
Look under kp49.
Works for me, but the usual warnings apply: no guarantees, you can brick your device, ymmv, etc.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

So, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but still. Been running kernel-power (downloaded via appdownloader) for like 2 months, no problems whatsoever. This afternoon, I discovered massive performance issues on my N900. Blacked out, reacting very slow. After a few reboots, found out it had to do with my online status on Skype. As this is one of the main functions of this phone I intend to keep using it :)

So, tried it all. Deleted last installed apps, everything. Nothing helped. Also tried de-installing kernel-power. Didn't work (used the menu shortcut). Then reflashed after 3 hours of trying things out (this phone is my only one), everything seemed to work fine, could login to Skype without problems. Then installed kernel-power (again via appdownloader) and the problem of hanging, slow reactions and such was there again! This time, I could remove kernel-power through the menu, and it looks like my N900 runs like before again. No troubles.

As you might have noticed, I'm far from an expert. Tried to look for general logfiles, but no look. I just don't have the knowledge. Just wanted to let you guys know what I experienced, it might not be related at all, but I don't have a clue.

Please let me know if I can be of any more help, and excuse me if this post doesn't belong here...

Re: [Announce] kernel-power unstable v49
 

@ left: humour me and with power 48/49 installed try disabling power saving via system > settings > internet connections and then try skype.I have had issues resolved by doing this.
