Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

what about the backported compat-wireless patches for injection form lxp ? Can they also be included ?

If updated regularly AND the whole kernel ecosystem is kept running, with injection, scheduling, f-cam, etc AND providing indeed a faster user experience, then this has the potential of getting (a lot) better than the original power kernel. I would be very tempted.

Thanks for all the effort so far, both you and titan (for providing the power series in the first place) !

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

I've built the modules for the BFS kernel, but I'm not sure lxp would be happy with me sharing them..

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

lxp has offered the patches to titan for inclusion in the 'standard' power series (there was no response, as far as I know). Maybe power47 will include it and it's due any day, we (I) don't know. In that case it would come to the derived power-bfs kernel automatically, after you've done your stuff anyway.

Anyway, I guess it's worth a question to lxp ... I donated to get the drivers, as I feel people should get some reward if they put time and effort into it (and need the money), but not smart enough myself to compile it all together with an existing power kernel and keep it all working :)

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

Yeah, lxp helped me a lot to get them to compile - it was straightforward once I knew the 'trick', but without that, I'd still be trying now :D I'm sure he wouldn't mind; I will send him an email today. However, they are currently built against the v42 of the BFS kernel, so I really need to update my source first!

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

mmmm based on power46, that would mean all PR1.3 improvements, h-e-n patches, injection patches and bfs (with build in scheduletool) and probably lots of stuff I forgot... nice. Don't forget f-cam drivers, make it 'eyes-closed' installable and you have a winner.

There might be an updated h-e-n out this month (as Joerg was hinting at). Hopefully it's only gui/frontend stuff. If extra kernel mods are needed, then work might have to be redone ...

Also there are kernel patches being developed as part of the improving responsiveness thread, to replace the m-locker library solution.

All these things should ideally come together somewhere and properly performance/stability tested :)

Thanks for getting the already known integration done.

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

Hello Tigerite mind sharing with me your compiled kernel? Eversince I'm always having trouble compiling bfs to the kernel power and now i really want it badly on lxp's kernel. Anyways I also donated anyways to lxp so I don't think he would mind sharing it to another donator? :p

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

Of course I'll gladly share the compiled kernel, but lxp's modules that were part of his download don't work with it - it's the modules that need to be compiled against the kernel that's the tricky part. Anyway hopefully I will get chance today to patch my v42 source to the latest v46 and then rebuild the modules against that, I still need to email lxp to make sure he's okay with it first though.

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

Thanks! Just hit me a PM :)
Well based on lxp's license on his injection package it should be ok. That's the main reason why he included patches and sources on the first place.

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

What about the wonder-patch? I think the wonder-patch wins over bfs and bfs is made from a noob and what is this for a name? brain **** scheduler?

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

Are you seriously calling Con Kolivas a noob? He isn't, read his Wikipedia page he started developing CPU schedulers for the linux kernel in 2004.
