As I understand it, Pali ran into trouble with the repo packages manager and had to boost the version number by one to get the settings package to enter the repo properly. Nothing else is new.

Can you post the output of "kernel-config show" command?
Ok, this is my actual kernel configuration by kernel settings:

Code:
current kernel configuration:
current frequency: 550
supported frequencies: 125 250 500 550 600 720 805 850 900 950 1000 1100 1150 
min. frequency: 125
max. frequency: 805
avoid frequencies: 125 
active frequencies: 250:24,180 500:33,360 550:36,400 600:38,430 720:44,520 805:47,520 850:60,520 900:60,520 950:60,520 1000:60,520 1100:72,520 1150:72,520 
SmartReflex VDD1=1, VDD2=1
governor ondemand: ignore nice load= 0, up threshold= 95, sampling rate= 300000, powersave bias= 0
can you explain WHY the min freq is set to 125 MHz if I didn't used kernel settings to change my frequency? I've edited the pmconfig files as suggested by you without changing the min freq, in the pmconfig file is still 250MHZ!

What kind of profile am I running now?



Oh, another question for you. I can see using top command in terminal that there is always a process related to xorg active, with 4-6% of CPU usage always active. It seems that process handle a log file. It says that he path is /usr/bin/Xorg -logf. I tried to open that file to see what inside, but is too large. Do you know something about that?

@thedarkus - your profile is OK too, 125 is set to be avoided. If your videos still stutter after the device has settled down (tracker is no longer doing thumbnails), I would recommend to do a full power-cycle, (i.e. power down, remove the battery for a couple of seconds, put the battery back, power-up), as from time to time SGX driver cannot initialize the hardware correctly if the device is only rebooted. Anyway all of your logs look OK to me.

If you wish an additional speedup of your device you can search the forum on how to move the swap on SD card, how to setup a compcache swap and how to tweak io scheduler. However that is OT here .

everytime i look at output of "kernel-config show" it reports current cpu at max. battery only lasting just over a day compared to previous cssu testing release with stock kernel. I'll try to post output from powertop etc later

Xorg is the X server. It's as critical as it gets. WIthout it you would only have a framebuffer console

The log file is just the X log file (/tmp/Xorg.0.log), which should be pretty small anyway. Mine is ~4kb, with 16 days uptime.

In short: leave it alone.

I did what you said, freemangordon, but the problem is still unsolved. Stuttering everywhere, using camera to record movie, playing divx with any player, scrolling webpages and sometimes scrolling app menu too.

Is strange, 'cos all was working fine for the first 3 days, than, after a reboot, this problem jumped out.

I have to tell you that watching a divx, it stutters regullary every 2-3 secs. And, despite the stutters seen on the screen while recording, the resulting file recorded play smooth on other devices, so the file is ok. Oh, and while recording the stutters is regualary every 2-3 secs too!

This is all that I can tell you to add additional information. If you want, I can post here other logs, everything needed to diagnose the problem. Also applicationlist too, but i don't think that an app is responsable for the problem, they were all already installed before the problem rised, and all was working fine


I'm sorry freemangordon, as told you before in this 3d I am a new addicted to linux world, so I prefer to solve a problem than flash the device, I think this is the only way to learn something useful (for me and for the community too). I keep the reflash as my last hope, 'cos in the weekend I will have to travel a lot by train, and i want use my device to watch some movies ^^

As usual, a big thank you for your support

You are right man, I checked and mine is 4 kb too. But is normal that this process is always active, eating cpu-power every second (4-6%)? It never stops for a second! I think my cpu can't go fully idle

You are asking why Xserver never goes idle while you are using Xserver to run a program to monitor Xserver.

In case you have problems understanding @vi_'s response: this is like saying "why is my display using power while I use it?"

When the N900 is idle and locked, Xorg sleeps as well

Advice: if you want to look at what goes on on the N900, the best is to keep it locked and login per ssh. There you can use ps, top, powertop, etc. on a system that is "as idle as possible"

Ok Guys, NOW i know what X server does Tnx for the explanation, i won't care about Xorg's log anymore
