Re: [CentOS] DVI + VGA?

2008-08-03 Thread Marco
As far as i know you don't need to change anything in your xorg.conf. if you have any horizontal / vertical sync settings (Hz) in your conf you can remove them. DVI is digital and don't need them. correct me please if Im wrong. Marco MHR wrote: I have an LCD monitor with both VGA and DVI con

[CentOS] Questions on cpu frequency scaling AMD vs. Intel

2008-08-03 Thread Kai Schaetzl
I've been playing and comparing frequency scaling between AMD and Intel CPUs yesterday and there seem to be great differences between AMD and Intel and some gotchas. This is all on CentOS 5.2 with latest Xen kernels (which are supposed to be powersaving-enabled since 5.2). AMD: It seems once I

Hello William; Are you thinking BIOS update for the motherboard or for the DVD drive, or both? The motherboard has Intel's latest and greatest. The DVD drive I'm not so sure of. It's been awhile since I looked at it's status vis-a-vis bios versions. I've not found bios updaters under Linux.
