need a script to set AGP cards latency at boot please


Hi all,

I'm wondering how to add the following line of code to my startup scripts of mepis 3.4.3 on 2.6.15-1-586tsc i686 machine with KDE version 3.5.1:

code i want to enter:

setpci -v -s 03:00.0 latency_timer=20

edit: 3/16/06: i made a text file with it and gave it an .sh extension. NOw I can cick on it and execute it but I have to put in root pass. Any way to automate this on boot with mepis?

thank you in advance.

Fogie.

In Slackware the local script would be in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
search around and find where Mepis hides the local scripts......

old thread, but the ATI driver resets it to the slow and lazy setting, so I still have to do it once getting into KDE if I want full intense graphics.
