Description Frank Dornheim 2006-03-28 08:41:26 UTC
I have a nvidia 5500 and i try to use two TFT-Displays with this card.
My xorg configuration (see BELOW)is working, but i have a "normal" cpu usage of 45%.
I used atop to find my speed problems and see an irq usage of 45% by X.
If i start any sound application i have a irq usage of 90% by X!

To confirm my problem i created a xorg.conf with one tft an had a irq usage by X of one percent.

<snip>
Bugzilla: Bugs regarding the Gentoo Bugzilla website  (bugs.gentoo.org),
Bugs related to ebuilds belong in 'Gentoo Linux'
</snip>

Any suggestion how could we improve the above description so that people would *finally* stop misfiling bugs that have nothing to do w/ this website under Gentoo Bugzilla product?
Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-28 09:27:03 UTC
We don't support suspend2-sources, reopen if you are able to reproduce this problem with a supported kernel.

Comment 3 Frank Dornheim 2006-03-30 02:17:56 UTC
Ok,

i tryed gentoo-sources 2.6.16.
Now i have not 90% usage by X, i have 55%.
This is not really a solution :(.

Comment 4 Frank Dornheim 2006-05-17 16:03:36 UTC
now (since a lot of time) i tryed:

kernel: 2.6.16-r7
nvidia-kernel: nvidia-kernel-1.0.8756

most problems seems to be fixed, only a high irq usage in the first minute of starting X.
