Hi Jordan Crouse,
I did follow your sugession using x11-drv-amd that comes in Rawhide.
And I did not see any different to what I did before.
(I use amd in org.conf by now)
The speed of VGA did not increase.
You can verify me by:
telnet 158.108.200.198 110
login: zxc
passwd: love4linux
I am sure I did not do any thing wrong.
OLPC do has problem on VGA with sound speed.
w/o enable sound then huge .swf and .mpg can be played by mozilla w/o
problem.
I go back to use pentium 90 in 1995 (my very old server) and did the same
to that pc and it can play huge .swf with sound w/o problem.
That old pc used s3 VGA and SB16 sound blaster as sound device.
If I play OLPC with sound then in few minutes after playing huge .swf (338
MB) then the network will crash. And I have to do follow command:
ifconfig eth0 down
rmmod usb8xxx
modprobe usb8388
To bring back the eth0 (wireless)
Please investigate and realized what is going on.
IMO: We need to do s/t on VGA and sound and eth0.
It may be because SRAM using in VGA is too slow to be used to play huge
movies.
I see this phenomena in old VGA that has slow speed.
I solve this problem by using vncreflector to old pc and sound become
disable.
regards,
supat

Hi Jordan Crouse,
Thank you much on your kind sugession.
I put below in .config :
[*] AMD Geode family framebuffer support (EXPERIMENTAL)
This won't help you one bit for what you are trying to do. I recommend
not using it until you get X working.
I change driver in X11 conf.org from vesa to nsc.
Again, please use the x11-drv-amd that comes in Rawhide. I really want
to see what happens.
I am not sure it is correct place or not BUT network crash still happen if
I play huge .mpg movies from browser say 448 MB in 5 minutes.
Also huge .swf say 338 MB in 5 ninutes will cause network crash.
What do you mean by "network crash" - that seems to be completely
orthogonal to the problem you are trying to solve. Please give us more
information.
Can it help if I put all modules in kernel instead off using modules
plug-in ?
Probably not - it will hurt.
Jordan
