| Sarvatt | darn rrva is gone, was going to suggest lowering the 'Synaptics Noise Cancellation' property depending on how "different" it feels | 01:11 |
|---|---|---|
| Sarvatt | oh 1.4->edgers, thats not the problem then | 01:13 |

| Milos_SD | tseliot, I think I know what is the problem with fglrx ... Even if I select dgpu with aticonfig, when I try to start Xserver, it PowerXpress is starting igpu :) | 12:21 |
| === dzan is now known as dzan|away | ||
| tseliot | Milos_SD: but does X segfault in your case? | 13:01 |
| Milos_SD | tseliot, yes... same errors as last time | 13:04 |
| Milos_SD | I can change from integrated to discreat graphics with aticonfig tool, but when I start X, it alweys wants to start integrated (even if I selected discreat) | 13:05 |
| Milos_SD | and maybe the real problem is this error: (EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section. | 13:07 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| tseliot | Milos_SD: I'm not really sure about that. A screen section shouldn't be required at all | 13:12 |
| Milos_SD | first it loads intel module, then after that error it unloads it, and then powerXpress is selecting intel graphics, and xserver segfault at the end ... | 13:20 |

| bryceh | Sarvatt, yep looks like it works | 18:34 |
| bjsnider | Sarvatt, are there power issues with snb hardware? | 19:20 |
| Sarvatt | bjsnider: more details....? | 19:21 |
| bjsnider | it's bugabundo's laptop. dying after less than 3 hours | 19:21 |
| Sarvatt | dying how? | 19:22 |
| bjsnider | brand new | 19:22 |
| Sarvatt | like battery running out? | 19:22 |
| bjsnider | power suckage | 19:22 |
| bjsnider | yes | 19:22 |
| FernandoMiguel | houdy | 19:22 |
| Sarvatt | what laptop? i'm guessing a hybrid | 19:22 |
| FernandoMiguel | Sarvatt: hi | 19:22 |
| FernandoMiguel | dell vostro v131 | 19:22 |
| FernandoMiguel | intel hd3000 ONLYT | 19:22 |
| Sarvatt | FernandoMiguel: boot with i915.i915_enable_rc6=1, big power savings :) | 19:22 |
| bjsnider | it's not hybrid, only snb | 19:22 |
| FernandoMiguel | adding that to kernel and rebooting | 19:22 |
| bjsnider | i suggested it could be snb, and i guess i might be right | 19:23 |
| FernandoMiguel | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet i915.i915_enable_rc6=1" | 19:23 |
| bjsnider | how long _should_ the battery last? shows how much i know about laptops | 19:23 |
| Sarvatt | pcie_aspm=force too | 19:23 |
| Sarvatt | depends on the system! | 19:24 |
| bjsnider | yeah but he's using the 3.2 kernel already | 19:24 |
| Sarvatt | and how big a battery you got.. | 19:24 |
| FernandoMiguel | I grepped COS for 915 , nothing | 19:24 |
| FernandoMiguel | Sarvatt: 6 cells. | 19:24 |
| FernandoMiguel | lasts 9h on windows 7 64bits | 19:24 |
| bjsnider | i wonder what graphics driver they use then | 19:24 |
| FernandoMiguel | <3 h in ubuntu | 19:24 |
| FernandoMiguel | 4h in chromiumos | 19:24 |
| FernandoMiguel | bjsnider: boot a vm and check | 19:24 |
| FernandoMiguel | it's dead quick | 19:25 |
| FernandoMiguel | they have all kind of images | 19:25 |
| FernandoMiguel | and it boots in 5 secs | 19:25 |
| bjsnider | i meant in your case | 19:25 |
| FernandoMiguel | humm | 19:25 |
| FernandoMiguel | how can I see? | 19:25 |
| bjsnider | no idea | 19:25 |
| bjsnider | without a termimal | 19:25 |
| bjsnider | how did you find out what kernel you were using? | 19:25 |
| FernandoMiguel | I have one | 19:25 |
| bjsnider | well, lsmod | 19:26 |
| FernandoMiguel | Host F1 | 19:26 |
| Sarvatt | FernandoMiguel: seriously though, try GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1" and sudo update-grub, should make a big difference on that thing | 19:28 |
| FernandoMiguel | bjsnider: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/112892/Screenshot%20at%202011-11-28%2019%3A27%3A59.png | 19:28 |
| FernandoMiguel | I always ALWAYS forget update-grub2 | 19:29 |
| FernandoMiguel | rebootng | 19:29 |
| FernandoMiguel | brb | 19:29 |
| Sarvatt | it's probably stuck at 800mhz gpu frequency 100% of the time and enabling rc6 will fix it if its anything like the vostro 3750 i've got here, looks exactly the same except that one uses a ULV celeron cpu | 19:30 |
| === dzan|away is now known as dzan | ||
| FernandoMiguel | ok | 19:33 |
| FernandoMiguel | better | 19:33 |
| FernandoMiguel | MUCH better | 19:33 |
| FernandoMiguel | 4:30 | 19:33 |
| bjsnider | Sarvatt, is there any portable computer that's been made recently that you don't have in front of you? | 19:33 |
| FernandoMiguel | and I'm at 80% bat | 19:33 |
| Sarvatt | it's probably stuck at 800mhz gpu frequency 100% of the time and enabling rc6 will fix it if its anything like the vostro 3750 i've got here, looks exactly the same except that one uses a ULV celeron cpu | 19:33 |
| FernandoMiguel | but boot was way slower, and login blew on me | 19:33 |
| Sarvatt | FernandoMiguel: said that after you disappeared, sorry | 19:34 |
| Sarvatt | can watch -n 1 'sudo grep CAGF /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_cur_delayinfo' to watch the gpu clock speeds change | 19:34 |
| FernandoMiguel | Sarvatt: I got i7z | 19:34 |
| Sarvatt | pretty useless for you | 19:34 |
| FernandoMiguel | and powertop | 19:34 |
| Sarvatt | that celeron doesnt have turbo boost | 19:34 |
| Sarvatt | was talking about gpu clock speeds | 19:34 |
| FernandoMiguel | this is an i5 2nd gen | 19:35 |
| FernandoMiguel | ahhh gpu | 19:35 |
| FernandoMiguel | soorrrryyyyy | 19:35 |
| Sarvatt | oh sorry, i looked up vostro v131 and it was only offered in celeron | 19:35 |
| FernandoMiguel | nope | 19:35 |
| FernandoMiguel | CAGF: 650MHz | 19:36 |
| Sarvatt | x86_energy_perf_policy -v 'powersave' | 19:38 |
| Sarvatt | thats another little trick if it works | 19:38 |
| FernandoMiguel | In grup? | 19:38 |
| Sarvatt | nope in a terminal | 19:38 |
| FernandoMiguel | wait... that's a scalator | 19:38 |
| FernandoMiguel | I rather have it ondemand | 19:38 |
| FernandoMiguel | would love to limit it to 2.3GHz and turn off turbo mode | 19:38 |
| Sarvatt | oh nah this is a sandybridge specific tweak to adjust turbo boost policy | 19:39 |
| Sarvatt | powersave makes it less likely to jump to higher clock speeds | 19:39 |
| FernandoMiguel | cool | 19:39 |

| FernandoMiguel | no way to change it :( | 19:47 |
| FernandoMiguel | Sarvatt: anymore tweeks? | 19:48 |
| Sarvatt | FernandoMiguel: ok so they quote 9.5 hours for that thing, but thats only in the configuration with the 17w 1.1ghz celeron CPU | 19:48 |
| FernandoMiguel | would love to see this go up above 8h | 19:48 |
| FernandoMiguel | Sarvatt: nope... I can do more than 8h on windows | 19:48 |
| FernandoMiguel | never left I die, but I'm sure it goes above 9h easily | 19:49 |
| bjsnider | windows 7 should be relatively power-hungry | 19:49 |
| FernandoMiguel | with wifi off | 19:49 |
| Sarvatt | i dont understand how, thats a small battery | 19:49 |
| Sarvatt | 5 hours really sounds right for that thing | 19:49 |
| FernandoMiguel | it does :) | 19:49 |
| FernandoMiguel | I did 8h on it | 19:49 |
| Sarvatt | whats the last full capacity in cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info ? | 19:50 |
| FernandoMiguel | ~$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info | pastebinit | 19:50 |
| FernandoMiguel | http://paste.ubuntu.com/752887/ | 19:50 |

| bjsnider | are these snb tweaks going to be in precise for everyone? | 19:51 |
| Sarvatt | yea | 19:51 |
| bjsnider | maybe the windows snb driver is more efficient at this point than the linux driver | 19:52 |
| Sarvatt | rc6 will be on but only if VTd isn't enabled at the same time, which is a problem because it will be on lots of new machines soon | 19:52 |
