FC3 x86_64 extremely low performance with AMD64
Hi. I have a ASUS A4000D with an Athlon AMD64 3000+ , the chipset is the Nvidia nForce3 Go150, specs are at
h t t p ://uk.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=A4000D%20Series&langs=11 I was running Red Hat 9 perfectly and decided to try out the Fedora Core 3 (x86_64) dist, everything went normal during the installation. At first boot it went slow, final configurations, etc. Second boot and so on it was always slow. I didn't configure a thing manually nor changed anything. Kernel is 2.6.9-1.667. The only out of the ordinary info I have for now is at startup it displays: Code:
powernow-k8: vid trans failed, vid 0x3, curr 0x4 Does anyone have an idea of what is going on and how can I solve this? Thanks. |
what's the problem
|
The problem is that the system is running at an abnormally low performance(as I specified in the thread topic) and the two messages of powernow-k8, failed means that something isn't right. I've been researching since I've posted, I think maybe a kernel upgrade to 2.6.11 will do the trick, but it's tricky, will post results as soon as I have them. In the meanwhile if anyone has an idea of what's going on please post if I'm going in the right direction. Thanks.

Upgrading your kernel probably wont help, I use a 3000+ clawhammer without any problems, I would totally try a different distro before I tried a new kernel in this situation, especially with all the problems I've heard about with 2.6.11.X on FC3
|
Thanks again for posting.
But (and please correct me if I'm wrong) isn't the kernel the "nerve center" of every distro, and the distro itself a compilation of packages and X window apps that look and "feel" different from one another? So, if I install the right kernel the problem might be solved (maybe :) ). I think at least I should give it a try and having the side effect of learning more about linux itself :study: is good for a :newbie: he he :D By the way, what distro are you running and what kernel do you have installed? Thanks once again. |
I use debian, and I'm currently using kernel 2.6.8-2-i386. To be honest, distibutios mostly differn based on package management. sometimes there is some variation in kernel configs, but upgrading within a distro doesn't usually have a lot of effect. Switching to graphics accelerated video improves a lot; what graphics card do you have?
|
My laptop has a ATI Mobile Radeon 9200.
Why don't you use a x86_64 distro? As I said before, I had Red Hat 9 previously and it was running fine (except the USB mouse) but no 64bit kernel. I haven't got time right now to work this out because I have a lot of work to do and study but as soon as I have a few hours free I'll try it out. |
I think that a lot of your problem is related to the fact that you're probably not using graphics acceleration. The good news is that I think you r card is supported under linux, so you're lucky. Generally speaking, Ati cards aren't linux compatible.
I'm not using x86_64 becuase I don't see or know of any genuine advantage, and unless I run gentoo, I won't have most of the 64bit application support I would need. |
Here's the output of dmesg and lsmod:

And what's the output of glxgears run from an Xtrem? |
I could'nt find XF86Config-4 anywhere, I did updatedb and locate XF86Config-4 and didn't find it and it's not in /etc/X11/
glxgears outputs 914 frames in 5.0 seconds = 182.800 FPS 1027 frames in 5.0 seconds = 205.400 FPS 1116 frames in 5.0 seconds = 223.200 FPS 1052 frames in 5.0 seconds = 210.400 FPS 1070 frames in 5.0 seconds = 214.000 FPS 1110 frames in 5.0 seconds = 222.000 FPS 1137 frames in 5.0 seconds = 227.400 FPS 1161 frames in 5.0 seconds = 232.200 FPS 1181 frames in 5.0 seconds = 236.200 FPS moving my mouse around like crazy and 480 frames in 9.0 seconds = 53.333 FPS 720 frames in 13.0 seconds = 55.385 FPS 874 frames in 5.0 seconds = 174.800 FPS 336 frames in 9.0 seconds = 37.333 FPS 447 frames in 5.0 seconds = 89.400 FPS 451 frames in 9.0 seconds = 50.111 FPS 423 frames in 8.0 seconds = 52.875 FPS 457 frames in 10.0 seconds = 45.700 FPS 487 frames in 7.0 seconds = 69.571 FPS 477 frames in 10.0 seconds = 47.700 FPS 426 frames in 7.0 seconds = 60.857 FPS 784 frames in 9.0 seconds = 87.111 FPS with the mouse stopped as unbelievable as it may sound if I'm moving the mouse pointer around it almost acts normal(in terms of speed) if I lay it down it almost falls asleep what is going on?:confused: That's really weird! |
moving the foucs of the mouse pointer out of the window actually allows it ot process frames fater.
YOu definitly need to find a howto for installing raedeon drivers, and you need to verify compat with the 9200. google is your friend |
Hi Ru_e, thats a nice laptop you have there. I have always heard Asus builds some really slick machines.
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43730 I found this link to a good guide that will help you setup the ATI x86_64 beta drivers under Fedora Core 3. It will probably take a while, since he is recommending that xorg needs to be rebuilt, but I guess that this is probably a standard thing for new platforms like x86_64. It might be a good idea to check a couple other things before attempting the above. Try running: Code:
glxinfo | grep Direct Code:

Hi
First I'd like to say I'm sorry about not posting a reply earlier but I've been having tons of work and study to do. Now I'm not having any problems about powernow-k8 or system performance because I moved from FC3 to FC4-test2 and... man, it runs like a rocket, installed it today and I'm very satisfied, be going to up2date regularly to get the new bug-free goodies. Thank you so much for your interest and help. P.S.-I did try to recompile the kernel but... I messed up :) |
