[petsc-users] Using GAMG to speed up solving of Poisson eqn

Hi,

I'm trying to use GAMG to speed up solving of Poisson eqn. I used:

call KSPSetOptionsPrefix(ksp,"poisson_",ierr)

-poisson_pc_gamg_agg_nsmooths 1 -poisson_pc_type gamg

I remember it used to work in some problems but now it can't work, with 
error:

I read in one of the threads that I can use:

-pc_type gamg -pc_gamg_agg_nsmooths 1 -mg_levels_ksp_type richardson 
-mg_levels_pc_type sor

It worked but I got the msg:

WARNING! There are options you set that were not used!
WARNING! could be spelling mistake, etc!
Option left: name:-mg_levels_ksp_type value: richardson
Option left: name:-mg_levels_pc_type value: sor
Option left: name:-pc_gamg_agg_nsmooths value: 1
Option left: name:-pc_type value: gamg
Press any key to continue . . .

If I used this:

-poisson_pc_type gamg -poisson_pc_gamg_agg_nsmooths 1 
-poisson_mg_levels_ksp_type richardson -poisson_mg_levels_pc_type sor

It aborts with error:

So is there a recommended test command or method?
