[Solved] AMD Dual Core Timing Issue AKA Mouse Bug

[Voyn1x]

Firefox contains a couple of cpuids. If you patch it with Marvins the crashes stop

Ok, i unfortunately have to join you all here....
My system : Benq p52 laptop with Turion 64X2 TL-52, 667Mhz Ram, Mobility Radeon X1600, SB Chipset.

System works perfectly for about 2-3 hours. After that problems keep showing up.
I experience no restarts or crashes though but :

- Sound is becoming more and more bugged ( flashing sound and noises )
- GUI works strange - slower acceleration, mouse movement are slowed down a little.
- Maybe...not really sure - cooling works little harder.

I guess that`s all of my problems ( fortunately ).
I have added cpus=1 flag - will se what happens now.


Edited :::

I wonder....because i`ve noticed one thing - that`s not my first Leo install, but that`s the first time i have this problem. Earlier i used to leave my pc on for almost whole day, play few hours using Fusion - and it worked like a charm i guess...the only difference was that i installed new PowerManagement.bundle then - and i did not this time cause it didnt bring my bat. indi. anyway. Could it be related in any way ? I have no idea but i`ll install it now as well.

I finally decided to get some Intel hardware.

cpus=1 doesn't cut it for me. I have to close every application to run 720p smoothly and I have a lot of 1080p content (which barely runs obviously). Don't want to go back to windows so this was the only option with no working solution for this bug.

Here's what I ordered

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro LGA775 2500RPM 45CFM
G.SKILL F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK PC2-8500 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-1066 CL5-5-5-15 240PIN Dual Channel Memory Kit
DFI LANParty Dk P35-T2RS LGA775 P35 ATX DDR2 1PCI-E16 3PCI SATA2 RAID HD Sound GBLAN Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad Core Processor LGA775 Kentsfield 2.40GHZ 1066FSB 8MB

There`s one of possible solutions that works on my laptop - do not install iTunes with Leopard. Use Lawless relase without it. I don`t have this problem anymore, but first time when i installed iTunes - problem came back, CPU was heating like hell etc. just after installing iTunes, i didn`t even have to run it. So - for me, maybe for someone else as well - no itunes = no problem. I hope i won`t install another program like that.

[sly55]

no iTunes? this is crazy :-)
For me no solution cause I got an iPhone

But what did the trick for me was ...finally... to "idlehalt=0"

Since then I have pretty stable system, no Thunderbird problems,
Systems running now for 2 Days without any problems or mouse bugs

Lawless 10.5.4 / Stage XNU / Disabed QnC / and Idlehalt=0

[Taisto]

Sly55 can You explain what idlehalt=0 does ?

Anyway, iTunes 8 is working for me at last, no heating after installing it and newest QuickTime, but i grabbed it from this forum ( someone posted pre-patched version ) so - maybe asu does`nt work very well on my os ?

idlehalt=0 prevents your cpu from stopping when it is idle. This prevents the timers from drifting from each other.

I'm working now with idlehalt=0 and have no problems so far. But I still get mach_time messages in the logs. But the timestamps do not differ very much.

This isn't exactly the thread to post that.

I've had the most luck with ideneb. Make sure you get the most resent iDeneb 1.4.
You need to search the forums for the right kexts (drivers) for your hardware. You can also check out the insanelymac.com wiki and forums.

Yes you need a dvd drive os x to to big to be on cd. Unless you but it on a USB key and boot from that.
