I'm using SuSE 5.3 and KDE. My computer has a Cyrix 6x86 CPU which requires that I activate certain registers for maximal performance and minimal power consumption (since my older BIOS does not do it for me). I've found a Linux program called 'set6x86' which must be run several times with trailing register locations and instructions to be placed in the register (as in 'set6x86 xxxx xxxx') to set power reduction on no CPU activity, and to set various speed enhancements, and to deactivate a known bug which causes Cyrix processor based computers to go into a dead loop hang, within my CPU. I've placed 'set6x86' in the /usr/bin directory. Every time Linux is shut down (and this happens often on my dual-boot set-up with a son who likes Win95 games) I loose the CPU register alterations and have to run all of the set6x86 xxxx xxxx's again. It's hard enough remembering all of the registers, and things to alter therein... Is there any way I can get Linux to run a series of 'set6x86' programs with register location and register alteration info automatically on booting Linux so I can benefit from it without all the hastle? --------------------------------------------- "Man's mind is his basic tool of survival!"
