Whenever I run aviplay or mplayer - it works slowly, and all movies were just a slideshow. I also asked x11perf what it thinking about it - and it said: "your video is slow". So I took my diff, gcc and sword and started to fight. After few hours I found little monster, called pci_fixup_via691_2. I cut it with my sword, called Holy Vim - and my kernel runs fast again! So I wrote here about it. It was a good move, becouse next day I found in my mailbox a Letter From God. It was short, but shine, so my dark room become bright. The God, also known as Alan Cox said: "I will remove this bogus code, and your life will be happy again". I heard singing of angels when I was reading it. Then it was 2.4.4-ac2, I looked at it and I knew, that it was good. But, the Evil can't be defeated so easly. I was just sleeping when 2.4.5 appeared. Then today I decided to check 2.4.6-pre5 and I scared when I heard the same laught: - I am here! I am still here!!! you can't kill me, couse I am internal part of that kernel! hahahahaaha...!!! So, it is The Holy Crusade. If you see: { PCI_FIXUP_HEADER, PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C598_1, pci_fixup_via691_2 }, remember - it's an Evil Line From Hell. If you have VIA MVP3 (like me) you must taste its blood every time you compile new _stable_ kernel. Remember about it. Good Night!
