Ivanovic: moin
Erektium: is gartsize important on pci-e cards? so should I put some value on my xorg.conf?
Deanjo: no gart should be needed at all Erektium
Deanjo: at least none should have to be set
michaellarabel: Deanjo: Hi, on Mac OS X from the terminal is there a way to toggle the screensaver or interrupt it?
Deanjo: hmmm, I'll have to think about hta
Deanjo: that
Erektium: ok thanks
Deanjo: I fired of an email to one of the engineers michaellarabel on the screensaver issue. Probably won't get a reply until Mon or Tues though
michaellarabel: Thanks Deanjo
michaellarabel: Also do you know of a terminal way for reading the CPU usage (percent) or memory usage on OS X?
Deanjo: other then top?
michaellarabel: Yes, other than top. Something that is easily parsable.
Deanjo: not that I can think of off hand
Marox: moin
Erektium: moro
Milyardo_: michaellarabel: For memory usage you can use free
michaellarabel: On OS X? Doesn't seem to be installed by default at least.
Milyardo_: hrmmm
Milyardo_: free is one of the BSD utils it should be intalled
Milyardo_: intersting
Milyardo_: I'm aslo assuming theres noproc filesytem in OSX either
michaellarabel: Milyardo_: Nope, not by default
Milyardo_: well I guess you could still use top with the -b and -n options(assuming OSX has those as well)
