i had a look thru that how to just out of interest to see if there was anything i could do to improve performance any more than i have (part of the linux learning curve) and i found something very interesting. my whole param.h is one big comment. For both i386 and x86_64. I'm running suse 10.2 and have kernel 2.6.18.2 and that latest alsa drivers (1.0.14 i think). I also use the deadline schedular as some one told me once it was better than the other two and i agree as it is the best of both worlds.
But my question really, is, is the fact my param.h files entirely commented out normal or is this some fluky thing that means i don't need to use the patch? cheers guys Ronny Schedel wrote: > Hello, > > you can try and install hotsanic (http://hotsanic.sourceforge.net/). > It will > give you a better overview what really happens on your system.
