Hi Fred :) I won't keep all that mails off-list any more, Quentin seems to reply also to mails he got off-list. If you're writing to some other people off-list too and we all give you hints, without knowing the hints of the others, this can cause confusion.

It's a myth that Fluxbox is a help, if GNOME or KDE are using to much resources to be fine for real-time audio usage, making videos of the desktop etc., even if Fluxbox does use less resources, it has not a huge effect for usages like this on a machine with less resources. You should try ION2 or maybe a similar frame based WM without a DE. At least GNOME will use more RAM than ION2 does. fred wrote: > Ralf Mardorf a écrit : >> Quentin Harley wrote: >>> Ralf Mardorf wrote: >>>> For on-board graphics it might help to reduce the frame buffer by >>>> the BIOS settings, to get some more RAM. >>> >>> >>> This makes a huge difference.

What I did for my 64 Studio needed to run an proprietary application that e.g. compiled a driver, but didn't compile a new kernel. Now my 64 Studio is broken and because one of Ubuntu's bad originalities is to apply an opaqueness we know from Windows to Linux, I don't know how to fix it. Anyway, you asked Quentin if another distro might solve your troubles. With a probability bordering on certainty it won't solve your troubles. I don't remember if you once give information about your hardware. Can you please (again) write what mobo, CPU (type and speed), graphics (type and on-board or slot), how much RAM and which audio device or devices you're using? I guess I remember that you're using 1GB RAM, right?
