| |
hi there!
a few month ago someone has posted a patch for enabling the disconneect on STPGND detect function in the kt133/kt133a chipset. for those who don't know what this does: it sets a bit in a register of the northbridge of the chipset to enable the power saving modes of the athlon/duron/athlon xp prozessors. i did not found any patch which enables this function on an kt266/kt266a board. so i modified this patch ( http://groups.google.com/groups?q=via_disconnect&hl=en&selm=linux.kernel.20010903002855.A645%40gondor.com&rnum=1 ) to support the kt266 and kt266a chipset to.
now i am looking for people to test the patch and repord, whether it works allright on other computers than my computer (i tested this patch on an epox 8kha+ whith an xp1600+).
if you want to test this patch: 1. first apply the patch 2. enable generel-setup -> acpi , acpi-bus-maager , prozessor in the kernel config 3. add to the "append" line in /etc/lilo.conf the "amd_disconnect=yes" statemand (or after reboot enter at the kernel-boot-prompt "amd_disconnect=yes") 4. build a knew kernel 5. report to me, whether you have problems ...
if the patch gets a good feedback, maybe it is something for the official kernel tree ?
