Do you have the logs for Mandriva ?
I'm unhappy to see those missing numbers from some distributions in a comparison test.
I've made my tests for Linux Identity Kit (soon to appear) and most of the time there are little compilations issue that can be overcome easily (on stable version of the distributions, Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint, Mandriva and openSUSE, not PCLinuxOS).
If you see have the logs of the installation, i'd happily continue to contribute to phoronix-test-suite with patches for fixing the problems (on priority for Mandriva since i know it best, but it will probably apply for other distributions).

kms is disabled by default using mandriva ..you have to add radeon.modeset=1 to the kernel line in grub...on my 64 bit agp system I also had to add radeon to /etc/module.preload and disable speedboot.
if you use the alternate 2.6.33-tmb-desktop-5mdv provided by Thomas Backlund he's enabled kms by default as well as backported evergreen support (and more) from the .34 kernel and I just needed the radeon module listed in module.preload.

pnon discrete average benchs conclusion
Originally posted by phoronix View PostPhoronix: Benchmarks: Mandriva, PCLinuxOS, Ubuntu, openSUSE
Last week we delivered benchmarks of Fedora 13 Alpha and Ubuntu 10.04 (along with testing the Fedora 11 and 12 too), but today we have a new set of comparative benchmarks that are covering the latest development versions of Ubuntu 10.04, Mandriva 2010.1, PCLinuxOS 2010, and openSUSE 11.3. Here they are.

Being the best in 10 of 12 test, can be not the best, if you win by a 5% 10 tests and lose by 40% 2 versus the same OS in thsi case, the other is better.
Phoronix bench MUST have a average number result, with the difficulty of giving a % of score for each bench. And a "standard" 100 base that can be changed with years (as it was IBM AT), where every benchmark would be normalized to 100.
This normalization where you can print the brute value, and the normalized one would be easier to understand, and easier to make a choice when you read a benchmark.
Next Ubuntu LTS with a new i3, 5, 7 or 9 Apple model can be the standard to compare with other OSs and computers. With all benchs normalized to 100 - Apple model x - and ubuntu 10 LTS for next 4 or 5 years, and change then to a new base.
Stats must be easily understandable or are not a good tool.
The conclusion itself of the article is not for a good statistical understander is more for a sport score fan - of course a team that loses 10 matches by 5% score, an wins 2 by double, being better than other, won't win the competition, but machines are not sports and benchmarks are for knowing what is better in average, even average must be cooked, and give the results for several tests for knowing where you have your bests and your worsts.

It may happen you allocate memory for bigger size than you actually need (it's for UMS) and it impacts performance making it worse.

So, in the same spirit: CFS sucks. I urge everyone not to use that crap. It's crap on my machine, therefore it's crap everywhere.
Now,come on,...kraftman you really don't like to BFS take any credit in this

Now,come on,...kraftman you really don't like to BFS take any credit in this.I understand how you must feel about it.I was frustrated when something like BFS came out that supposed to fix all the issues I had with responsiveness but then introduced new ones and back again with CFS witch is a king of freaking issues for desktop users(i mean regressions),and still even now is not much different story.
Texstar,...hurry up with the testing,I just putted PCLinuxOS on sisters PC but with NVidia graphic card and it works freaking great.Tell me if you have some sorts of issues.
