 | | software: Phoronix: ATI PowerPlay Reanalyzed
Monday, May 01, 2006 @ 16:11:01 AST by meshal (928 reads) |  Last year we had taken an in-depth look at ATI's
PowerPlay technology upon the support within the Linux fglrx display
drivers. Now that Fedora Core 5 has been out for some time, and there have been
quite a few monthly releases since that point, we are now back today as we
re-examine ATI's PowerPlay using once again the Mobility RADEON X300. In this
examination, we will also be using additional benchmarks beyond what was done in
our original benchmarking fiesta, and we will be examining its power consumption
when using the AC adapter and simply not the battery.

software: Switching to free software
Wednesday, September 14, 2005 @ 09:41:45 AST by aziz (996 reads) | How to get the best software without spending a penny
By Robin Monks
Free software is fast becoming the standard in quality
software. It’s now possible for anyone to find a quality, free
replacement for almost any proprietary program. In many cases,
the free program is better than its proprietary counterpart.
You may not realize it, but there’s probably a free software
replacement for every software program you own: from your word
processor to your photo editor to the actual operating system.

software: linuxhardware.org: XSensors 0.46: One More Chip
Monday, April 05, 2004 @ 11:59:28 AST by meshal (494 reads) | I don't usually release a new version every time I add a single chip but since I've had more than one request for this one I decided to go ahead. Along with the addition of the as99127f being supported, I also cleaned up some build issues many people were having. Thanks to Jean Delvare for some build fixes (automake/autoconf cleanups) and thanks to Kelly Anderson for the initial as99127f patch.
