Hi,
just looking through SUSE kernel config files, I found that i386/default setup is still for the server, CGROUP=y, PREEMPT=n, etc. Can it be changed to the ones like kernel-desktop?
According to bug #526780, kernel-desktop actually helps to improve the audio issue (mostly PA). Since kernel-default is basically for old machines (thus it's the only kernel with ISA support), we don't have to keep the server optimizations there.
If you install Factory/11.2 on an old system, it may be to make a server out of it and not a desktop system. Optimizing kernel-default for desktops doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Well, then the question is rather what kind of purpose is supposed for i386 kernel-default. If it's a kernel for machines without PAE support, the chance is high that it's a relatively old desktop machine.
I don't know if we have usage stats, I fear not. Me, I tend to use my most recent machines as desktops and the old ones as servers. But maybe that's just me. Running pulseaudio on old hardware doesn't sound sane anyway. I'm not even sure about running it on recent hardware ;) -- Jean Delvare Suse L3 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
