Hey all,<br><br>I have a < 1yr old notebook with decent specs running sabayon. It has an nvidia 9600M GT w/ 256mb of ram. It would skip badly when I tried to fullscreen youtube, hulu, or quicktime video. This just didn't seem right. I started digging into it by observing the settings in the the nvidia-settings gui tool.<br>
<br>The chip was adaptively clocking itself up and down to save power which cause nearly all video to look choppy. I found a little while loop shell script that will keep the "powermiser" feature from operating but it is kludgy. I am running x86_64 w/ the nvidia 180.11 drivers.<br>
<br>Anybody ran into this type of power saving feature? ;) Is there a more straightforward method for disabling it? Here is the script I am currently using:<br><br>while true; do<br>nvidia-settings -q all > /dev/null<br>
sleep 20<br>done<br><br><br>Best regards,<br><br>J. D.<br>
