Kernel 5.6.3 bumped to 5.6.4 in both my current LxPupSc and current LxPupSc64 installs on the all intel Fujitsu S761. No problems seen in the updates at all, including CD and DVD play. In pristine boots with that kernel it
seemed (only checked quickly once) that the ao=alsa was needed in the .mplayer config file once created by mplayer to get cd and dvd play but it was not recognized til a reboot. If that's required for new kernels from now on, maybe put a preconfig .mplayer config file with that in the main SFS or maybe in the kernel zdrv? I haven't played with doing that as the updates are fine. Running LxPupSc +5 with the 5.6.4 kernel and Slimjet 26.0.3.0 as my daily now. Either I have adapted
or the libevent handling of the touchpad has improved with subsequent versions. It no longer bugs me.
Thanks,

Gathered all but one of my stable of Fujitsu i5 based S761 laptops about me and finally tossed windows from the Fujitsu Core 2 Duo T5010 touchpad. Big roundup and dustoff. Had a comreset error and resulting slow boot on one of the i5s that is seldom used. A firmware update on the SSD, an older Intel X-25 M, took care of that. Pups of all sorts updated...
At any rate,the current LxPupSc and LxPupSc64 with the 5.6.7 kernel are completely fine in all the i5 based laptops. Clean boot, nice and quick, no changes noted in dmesg content or CPU and mem use at idle from 5.6.4, the last kernel I had up in them. LxPupSc 20.01 +5 with the 5.6.7 kernel set as the default pup on all for now.
I haven't completely sorted the core 2 duo yet, it has a pci base address range allocation issue and is WAY slow to boot with the 5.6.7 kernel in LxPupSc. Once booted it runs ok, the edge goes to the acpi_cpufreq on that hardware over the intel_pstate. I swapped in your 32b 4.14.176 kernel from EF and the error still shows up in dmesg but the boot is acceptable and the perceived speed seems a bit better with that kernel on the old gal. I'll pick away at the BAR allocation thing -maybe-. I'm going to try to use that machine with the HP scanner for now. Beautiful IPS screen on it but much heavier than the i5s and lacking horsepower for the wobblyweb.
Thanks,

@peebee
sorry for late reply
in kernel 5.6.8 acpi_cpufreq module is present again.
governors powersave, performance, conservative are working (update: governor ondemand is builtin)
I decided for conservative.
Because cpu turbo boost seems to be applied on all cores at once, I deactivated this feature.
so far frequency scaling is working again for me thank you very much
@Marv
thank you too for testing

Back to the slackopups. Kernel Release: 5.6.9-lxpup64 swapped into both my current LxPupSc and LxPupSc64 installs. No issues seen in either. Dmesg and system checks good, video speeds good, resource use good, early microcode loading works, mitigations unchanged from 5.6.7 in both my 32b and 64b installs. No multimedia tests as of yet.
acpi_cpufreq module and conservative governor module are present, ondemand built in. Both intel_pstate and the acpi_cpufreq driver with the ondemand and conservative governors tested. All respond as expected on this i5 based hardware.
@norgo I like the 'conservative' governor also, especially with my core 2 duo hardware.
Cheers,

k5.6.12 swapped into both my LxPupSc and LxPupSc64 +6 installs on the i5 based laptop. Clean boots and Dmesg, idle resource use unchanged, early microcode working, mitigation unchanged on this hardware at (in LxPupSc64):

tsx_async_abort:Not affected
No multimedia checks yet other than youtube in Slimjet 26.0.3.0 run-as-spot. Video speed and sound good in both the 32b and 64b pups.
Your patched 1-lxde-startup.sh is working well in the 32b pup, both in pristine boots and in my updates. I'm still wrestling with the xorg-autoconf in the 64b pup. The 5/2/2020 version with your 1-lxde-startup.sh patch works in a pristine boot but not in my update. The 3/12/2020 version continues to work correctly in both. Since it's an update that's failing, mine to wrestle with. Got it! The 32bit compatibility SFS I use and have autoloaded was creating and populating the /usr/lib/xorg directory before xorg-autoconfig ran and that was bolluxing up its' ModulePath setting. Pull that SFS for the update/swap tests and all is fine. Whew.
