Well, I did it yesterday, read it and get jealous: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# dmesg|grep Bogo [ 0.000999] Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 4420.30 BogoMIPS (lpj=2210151) [ 0.000999] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 4420.64 BogoMIPS (lpj=2210323) [ 0.000999] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 4420.44 BogoMIPS (lpj=2210221) [ 0.000999] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 4420.44 BogoMIPS (lpj=2210220) [ 0.247012] Total of 4 processors activated (17681.83 BogoMIPS). Unforch, I have not found a way to drive this video card with anything but plain old radeon. R600 chipset support is very thin & non-accelerated, and experimental according to Xorg.0.log. glxgears is about 300 fps. tvtime won't run, but now sketchup does, which was the point of this $500+ expenditure. :) >> Were I 20 years younger, which would put me in my mid-50's when I was >> carving >> machine code for 8 bit machines, I most certainly would.

Also, since real live gets in the way, this summers project has been: <http://gene.homelinux.net:85/gene/Garage-pix> With the exception of the folks in the pix who helped raise the trusses, and a couple of hours nailing shingles, the rest of that came from my head and hands since about may 26th. I still have some soffit to install on the back and gable end. But its doing an intermittent drizzle here today, so not much is being done, instead I just rebuilt my modprobe.conf (something mucked it up) and now I have sound again. I have had that file diddled by supposedly un-connected software so many times I am about to set the -i flag on that file, just to see who bitches about it. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
