Hi,
I'm running Slackware 11.0 and after messing around with compiling the 2.6.18 kernel a bit i thought i found the right config. My X works fine and all, but when I switch to tty2 to tty5 (using ctrl-alt-fx), they won't receive any keyboard input. The weird thing is that tty6 works fine. Any ideas on what might cause this?
While I'm posting this, I have another issue:
I noticed that my clock is running fast. It didn't do this before. So I timed it using my watch and a minute on my pc takes about 3 seconds less than an actual minute on my wristwatch (and no the problem isn't my wristwatch). Now I don't really know what could cause this, there's only two reasons i could think of:
- I did change the timer resolution option in the kernel config from 100HZ to 250HZ. The help said desktops might want to use the 1000HZ to increase responsiveness but i didn't think that was necessary, so i just upped it from 100 to 250 as i don't want my processes to get interrupted too often.
- I also enabled some modules for my nForce chipset in a few places. I don't know if the timer (and i'm only guessing the timer chip is what controls the clock) is an nvidia chip part of the "nForce" chipset or whether it's from AMD or whatever (I have an athlon 64 microprocessor). So maybe there's a bug in one of the nForce drivers?
Anyway, hopefully someone has been there before, I hate having to adjust my clock every hour
Though right now i'm more annoyed by the lack of tty's.
grtz, treize
EDIT: Nevermind the tty problem, turned out to be Slackwares normal inittab script
still bothered with the clock tho
