It depends on the criteria for "matter". It doesn't matter to me whichever logger you use because it's the kernel who sends the messages and all that stuff. Obviously, the log spam that you get is not as aggressive as mine. However that's the lesser problem compared to the cpu waste. I think that it's just faulty hardware, my ati card must be really the worse ati in the world or something. > This computer has been running gentoo for close to 7 years now and I've > never once need to clearn out log files processed by metalog (I do have to > clean out elogs and apache logs [when I had a web server running] every > once in a while). I've never cleaned the logs in this install, which is like 4 years old by now. And they are like 40 mbs or so, compressed of course. However, fglrx+.30 managed to fill the partition in a few hours. That's why I reverted to .28. -- Jesús Guerrero
