Inserted USB, removed WLAN and ieee1394. C2/C3-ratio dropps to 10:90 in console-mode. That's better. I don't mind removing ieee1349, but without networking the laptop is more or less useless. So i'm f***ed. > You also should not use an USB Mouse... No USB in use except the 4 root-hubs (the trackpoint is using PS/2). > And by the way, what's wrong with 50:50 C2 C3 ? > This seems pretty normal to me. I have seen 10:90 on AthlonXP-systems running XFree. That's what i want, even if it is a long way to go. So i only have 2 problems left: - Is it possible to reconfigure WLAN to cause less Bus Master Activity ? (i will ask the ipw2200 guys and grok the code) - and why is the radeon driver causing ffffffff-Activity ? Running x without radeon driver is not an option. The radeon driver enables powerplay, which in turn saves quite a bit. Thanks, > > On Tuesday 19 July 2005 22:18, Bob Lees wrote: > >>Hi > >> > >>In a word USB.
