[11:55] (base)adconrad@cthulhu:~$ grep X86_HT /boot/config-2.6.15-23-686 [11:55] CONFIG_X86_HT=y [11:55] CONFIG_X86_HT_DISABLE=y [11:55] Looks like it's compiled in but disabled by default to me. [11:56] (boot with "ht=on" to turn it on, I think.. or "ht=enable"... Or something... I never remember) [11:56] Alright, I've tried tacking on "ht=on" after the "ro quiet splash", and I saw absolutly no boost in performance... [11:57] infinity: that's odd.. my /boot/config-2.6.15-23-386 has no X86_HT in it [11:57] What were you expecting? [11:57] alex_joni: makes perfect sense, since th -386 kernel is the "uber safe, failsafe default" [11:57] oh, yours is 686 .. sorry :) [11:57] Well, I was expecting a boost in performance, really. [11:58] cvp: What performance change were you expecting? HT doesn't magically grow you a second CPU, just makes some context switching more efficient in some cases. [11:58] shouldn't it show up as a second virtual processor under cat /proc/cpuinfo ? [11:58] alex_joni: Yes, it should. [11:58] cvp: just to check that it actually was turned on [11:59] In particular, I was told that I'd see an improvement in the fps output in glxgears... [11:59] cvp: that's crap probably [11:59] cvp: Okay, now you're just trolling, right? [11:59] By the way, my /boot/config-2.6.15-23-686 has HT=y and HT_DISABLE=y [11:59] cvp: A) glxgears isn't a benchmark, B) glxgears isn't multithreaded, C) WTF? [11:59] What? No, I'm a little noobish... [11:59] Okay... [12:00] Um... that other thing you were mentioning, the checking to see the virtual processor and junk? [12:00] How do I do that? [12:00] cat /proc/cpuinfo [12:01] infinity: it seems the kernel I built (with your help) still didn't quite work ok on another machine. but I just built a new one, and I hope it'll work OK.. if not I might get back to bug you some more [12:01] Alrighty, and that outputs information for processors 0 and 1... does that mean I have hyperjunk enabled? [12:01] "quite work" means that usplash stays dark [12:02] cvp: If you only have one CPU, and it's not dual-core, then HT is enabled. [12:02] cvp: unless you do have a second CPU, yes [12:02] Okay, cool. Thanks for the help, and sorry for the inane questions! [12:02] (If you have two dual-core CPUs with HT enabled, you'd see 8 CPUs in cpuinfo, for instance) === cvp [n=cvp@207-177-225-48.dsl.redshift.com] has left #ubuntu-kernel ["Leaving"] [12:02] guess 8 CPUs scared him away [12:04] infinity: could you explain why only vesafb is needed in initrd? isn't it possible that some user might need some other fb?
