[10:19] <O2_> hello
[10:21] <O2_> I wonder if we need to install something else to improve the video card? 
[10:21] <Nailor> What video card?
[10:21] <O2_> when playing 3d games, I find it slower than in windows
[10:21] <O2_> mine laptop's video card is intel GMA900, 128MB
[10:22] <Nailor> Well, Intel offers some drivers for the video cards
[10:22] <O2_> really, what's its name?
[10:25] <Nailor> Well, xserver-xorg-driver-i810 should be in repos
[10:25] <mjg59> The Intel drivers are the same as the ones we ship
[10:25] <Nailor> And it's installed default (if I'm right)
[10:26] <Nailor> O2_: It just might be that the intel's drivers aren't performing as well in linus as in windows
[10:27] <O2_> my laptop: intel 915 chipset, not 810
[10:27] <O2_> : (    what a sad news
[10:27] <Nailor> That package supports i9xx too
[10:27] <O2_> really
[10:30] <O2_> apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-driver-i810........................had been installed by default!
[10:31] <O2_> what a bad news................
[10:31] <O2_> what video card is in your notebook? I wonder
[10:36] <Nailor> Nvidia 7400 go
[10:37] <O2_> how is it under linux ?
[10:39] <O2_> I wonder if GMA900 will be better running in fedora core
[10:40] <Nailor> Well, both use the same drivers.
[10:40] <Nailor> Since the drivers are provided by X.org, not the distribution. There's propably no speed advantage between distributions
[10:41] <Nailor> My nvidia is working nowdays well. When I bough the laptop, the driver support was poor
[10:46] <O2_> what cpu is your laptop then
[10:47] <Nailor> Core Duo 1,8GHz
[10:50] <O2_> did u know how to view the cpu speed in ubuntu
[10:55] <Nailor> For example with cpufreq-applet
[10:56] <Nailor> From Add to panel... -> CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor
[10:56] <Nailor> And if you want more detailed info, just cat /proc/cpuinfo
[11:04] <O2> oh, thanks. I got it    598.xxx MHz!!   but my CPU is Pentium M 1.7GHz!  why it's slowed down
[11:05] <Nailor> Someone else had similiar problems with his toshiba
[11:05] <Nailor> Apparently that's a kernel/bios bug, but I can't guarantee it 
[11:06] <O2> I think it's because PM cpu would do that for saving battery
[11:06] <O2> but how to disable this feature
[11:09] <Nailor> That's not propably the problem
[11:09] <Nailor> Since proc/cpuinfo should report the native frequency
[11:11] <O2> but my laptop is very cool now I find.    that must be it's running under low speed
[11:11] <Nailor> Well it propably runs at 600MHz
[11:11] <Nailor> But the problem is that it's not going to run faster, since the system thinks the maximum is 600
[11:11] <Nailor> But anyway, I have to go now. :)
[11:11] <Nailor> Try, for example, updating bios to latest revision. Might help
[11:12] <O2> model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz
[11:12] <O2> cpu MHz         : 598.651
[11:12] <Nailor> Yeah, the latter (cpu MHz) should be 1.70 too
[11:13] <Nailor> Like in mine:
[11:13] <Nailor> model name      : Genuine Intel(R) CPU           T2400  @ 1.83GHz
[11:13] <Nailor> stepping        : 8
[11:13] <Nailor> cpu MHz         : 1829.143
[11:13] <Nailor> (my processors runs atm at 900Mhz)
[11:13] <Nailor> But anyway, got to go now. ->
[11:13] <O2> update bios.......    I don't know if my mb's bios is newest
[11:13] <O2> ok,  see you!
[11:27] <tormod>  Hi, I am debugging some hibernation trouble on my laptop, and I am looking through hibernate.sh, prepare.sh, resume.d. Can anyone tell me why laptop-mode is stopped when the machine resumes again?
[11:37] <tormod> ok an easier question: pressing the sleep button does nothing. From syslog: gnome-power-manager: Doing nothing because the suspend button has been pressed. I can not find any setting in Power Management Preferences to change this. Am I missing something?
