How to change irq on dell inspiron 8500 ?
|
|
|
Hi all,
I'm using FC2 on a dell inpiron 8500 P4/2Ghz/1Gb.
My problem is that the USB device,eth0 and Nvidia card share the same
irq 11.
My system is *VERY* slow when I have a lot of graphic output in a
terminal (I'm using gnome-terminal),meanwhile I transfering a lot of MB
on the lan.
I'm using the nvidia close source driver (but same thing with the nv
driver),and IMHO the prblem is that where is too much "traffic" on the
irq 11.
I looked into the BIOS but no option about IRQs.
How can I force the kernel to use IRQs in a better way?
Thanks
Alessandro |

I've recently heard reports of gnome-terminal being really slow in other
newsfroups. This is probably nothing to do with the IRQ, but with the
particular version of gnome-terminal and its supporting libraries. I've
never seen the problem firsthand, because I use KDE, and I don't
remember the proposed solution, but groups.google probably remembers it.
You are right!
In the mornig I tried xterm and I have noticed that the slowdown was gone!
I really don't think that's the problem. Go groups.google
gnome-terminal, G-Dawg, and see what they say. Or start using KDE  .
HTH,
No mate! I'm a fluxbox addict!!! ;)
Really thanks for you help I'm going too googling a lot! ;)
Cheers!

As far as I know this has to do with fonts and formatting of the text.
Gnome-terminal (Gnome) and Konsole (KDE) change the font to something
more readable than the standard font that you see in xterm. This,
however, slows the terminal down.

That's correct Bob,but in my case I think that the problem is really a bug.
I tried the same opearation on my old Inspiron 3800 with RH7.1 and no
slowdown at all!
To be honest, I didn't check the setting of the gnome-terminal
(especially the font setting).
Now I'm having a look to multi-gnome-terminal: it's good,it has tabs,
but I really need the option to change the character enconding
on-the-fly (I'm working on a university library),and it has no it! :(
Regards
