I really should do better research and also sleep more before i post
mails like that.

Upon further investigation ('bout 30secs) i discovered that the
GUI/ncurses stuff is just a config frontend for a completely
non-interactive powertweak program perfect for bootup scripts. And
the Via support is on the TODO list (infrastructure already there).

Dave.. sorry. Beat me with a 2x4 - i deserve it.

apologies,

paul jakma.

  Hi Dave,
  
  
  I gather the intention is that your powertweak is (or already
  has in 2.3??) to replace the pci-quirks code in linux.
  
  I have 2 boards that use Via southbridges, one a TMC super 7 with a
  VT82C586 and the other a Asus K7 board with VT82C686.
  
  Linux 2.2 pci-quirks seems to enable a work-around for ISA DMA hangs
  with these southbridges. However 2.3 does not, and i am having
  problems with my ISA soundcard (kernel reports "DMA timed out").
  
  I can't eliminate the possibility that it's due to the ISA DMA bugs
  in the Via ISA-PCI bridge because your powertweak doesn't yet support
  Via southbridges.
  
  So could you check out some of the linux 2.2 pci-quirks and add
  it to powertweak for us 2.3 users?
  
  thanks,
  
  Paul Jakma.
  
  PS: one little point... powertweak will need to be run very early on
  in the boot process, as such it /needs/ to be a pure commandline
  app. The GTK+ and curses gui aren't that important.

    Hi,
    
     Powertweak v0.1.13 is now available for download from
    
    http://linux.powertweak.com
    
     Changes in this release include..
    
            o Two fixes to the Memory management tuning.
            o One fix to the GTK GUI which caused some
              widgets not to start in their correct state.
    
    Work has now begun on convering the build process to
    use autoconf/automake.
    
    regards,
