I really should do better research and also sleep more before i post
mails like that.
Upon further investigation ('bout 30secs) i discovered that the
GUI/ncurses stuff is just a config frontend for a completely
non-interactive powertweak program perfect for bootup scripts. And
the Via support is on the TODO list (infrastructure already there).
Dave.. sorry. Beat me with a 2x4 - i deserve it.
apologies,
paul jakma.

Hi Dave,
I gather the intention is that your powertweak is (or already
has in 2.3??) to replace the pci-quirks code in linux.
I have 2 boards that use Via southbridges, one a TMC super 7 with a
VT82C586 and the other a Asus K7 board with VT82C686.
Linux 2.2 pci-quirks seems to enable a work-around for ISA DMA hangs
with these southbridges. However 2.3 does not, and i am having
problems with my ISA soundcard (kernel reports "DMA timed out").
I can't eliminate the possibility that it's due to the ISA DMA bugs
in the Via ISA-PCI bridge because your powertweak doesn't yet support
Via southbridges.
So could you check out some of the linux 2.2 pci-quirks and add
it to powertweak for us 2.3 users?
thanks,
Paul Jakma.
PS: one little point... powertweak will need to be run very early on
in the boot process, as such it /needs/ to be a pure commandline
app. The GTK+ and curses gui aren't that important.

Hi,
Powertweak v0.1.13 is now available for download from
http://linux.powertweak.com
Changes in this release include..
o Two fixes to the Memory management tuning.
o One fix to the GTK GUI which caused some
widgets not to start in their correct state.
Work has now begun on convering the build process to
use autoconf/automake.
