<hr />
<div>The AUR has a large number of obsolete packages which could use cleaning up. Examples of packages that may be cleaned up are:<br />
*packages that have been renamed or replaced<br />
*old and unmaintained developmental (cvs/svn/etc) packages<br />
<br />
Post suggestions of packages on this pages. Trusted Users will get together and go though the list in a couple of weeks and confirm which packages should be removed. '''Please DO NOT REMOVE suggestions from the wiki page but add a comment on why it should be kept instead.''' TUs will not delete any useful package.<br />
<br />
==Package List==<br />
* [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2787 9base-devel] - Hasn't been update since 25/12/2005. I think its not needed.<br />

{{i18n_links_end}}This article describes how to set up a bluetooth mouse with Archlinux. I used a Logitech v270 with a Trendnet TBW-101UB USB Bluetooth dongle, but the general process should be the same for any model.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Required software ==<br />
<br />
You need the '''bluez-utils''' and '''bluez-libs''' packages from the extra repository.<br />

== Configuration ==<br />
The pertinent options in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth are <br />
HCID_ENABLE=true<br />

<br />
== Finding out your mouse's bdaddr ==<br />

It is of the form ''12:34:56:78:9A:BC''. Either find it in the documentation of your mouse, on the mouse itself or with the '''hcitool scan''' command.<br />
<br />
== kernel modules ==<br />
<br />
The command<br />
# modprobe -v hci_usb bluetooth hidp l2cap<br />
loads the kernel modules you need, if they weren't loaded automatically. <br />

== Connecting the mouse ==<br />
hidd --search<br />
hcitool inq<br />
are good for device scanning.<br />
hidd --connect <bdaddr><br />
to actually connect.<br />
hidd --show<br />
will show your currently connected devices. The mouse should show up in this list. If it doesn't, press the reset button to make it discoverable.<br />
<br />
Note: If you have the ipw3945 module loaded (wifi on HP computer) the bluetooth wont work.<br />

== Connecting the mouse at startup ==<br />
Edit /etc/conf.d/bluetooth:<br />
# Arguments to hidd<br />

and test the new settings:<br />
/etc/rc.d/bluetooth stop<br />
hidd --killall (drop mouse connection)<br />
/etc/rc.d/bluetooth start<br />
<br />
Note: The above instructions to start the mouse at startup don't work with the current (3.11) bluetooth packages. To start the mouse at startup, add:<br />
hidd --connect <enter here your bluetooth mouse address (No capitals!!!)><br />
to your /etc/rc.local file.<br />
<br />
Note #2: You can connect any bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard without any further configuration and without knowing the device address. You can do it by adding the --master and/or --server option in HIDD_OPTIONS depending on your device.</div>Evdveldehttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Bluetooth_mouse&diff=34895Bluetooth mouse2008-01-09T20:49:09Z<p>Evdvelde: /* Connecting the mouse at startup */ address remark</p>

= Introduction =<br />
<br />
Well, it might seem sacrilegious to assume Arch is not fast enough by default, but just seeing my newly installed Arch booting in comparison to what I have been used to (SuSE) made me taste how satisfactory it is to squeeze your system into a more streamlined shape, and so I wondered if this could be driven even further.<br />
<br />
This page will host descriptions of various techniques of improving Arch's speed on different occasions. In general, risky operations (either in terms of security or stability) should be marked as such and we should have lower-risk methods have priority.<br />
<br />
And yes, I know that this is a contentious issue. There's a danger in over-tuning (you have to take into account not only stability issues, but also the effort/profit ratio.) And I hope we're not getting into civil wars over the best compiler options like in ...some other distro... Oh, well, we'll see how it works out...<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I haven't yet the time to write much in here very quickly -- hopefully more so in late November --, so for the time being, here's a list of resources and todos to work through:<br />
<br />
= Resources =<br />
* latency/bandwidth: responsitivity(desktop?)/overall task completion(server?) boot and launch time? establish metrics?<br />
* is it good to discuss kernel config? scheduler, SLUB/SLAB etc.<br />
* specify modules explicitly in rc.conf or have them autoloaded?<br />
* Sysctl settings like swappiness etc.<br />
* Link to all relevant pages/sections already on the wiki ([http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Special:Search?search=speed|search results for 'speed']) (also search for 'speed', 'fast' (lots), 'profil', 'perf').<br />
* search through repositories and AUR (e.g. sysprof, persistent-perl, how about readyexec)<br />
* profiling with bootchart, auditd, filemon (http://bootchart.org/misc/filemon/, http://bootchart.org/misc/filemon-app/), time<br />
* prelink<br />
=> evdvelde: Tried it but without noticeable result<br />
* prefetch (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2007-August/001440.html)<br />
=> evdvelde: Tried it on host with 2GB of RAM, no noticeable result<br />
* preload (http://code.google.com/p/prefetch/, http://sourceforge.net/projects/preload)<br />
* readahead:<br />
** Wu Fengguang's adaptive readahead in kernel (http://kerneltrap.org/node/6642, http://lwn.net/Articles/155510/, http://www.linuxinsight.com/adaptive_readahead_benchmark.html)<br />
** ondemand readahead in kernel (http://lwn.net/Articles/235164/)<br />
** Robin Hugh Johnson's readahead-list (http://freshmeat.net/projects/readahead-list/, http://research.iat.sfu.ca/custom-software/readahead-list/)<br />
** Karel Zak's readahead @ fedora (https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/readahead/, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=156442)<br />
* other distributions' speedup howtos<br />
** bootchart results (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69579, http://www.fooishbar.org/blog//tech/ubuntu/fastBootMiniBoF-2004-12-09-13-45.html, http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-November/msg01374.html, http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/BootTimeOptimisation, http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-boot.html?ca=dgr-lnxw82-obg-BootFast, http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/apme/optimizations/, http://wiki.debian.org/?BootProcessSpeedup, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FasterBootProcess)<br />
* faster alternatives to common apps/tools<br />
* very important: X server startup. Drivers, Settings. Even regardless of DE.</div>Evdvelde
