Folks, I just installed LFS 6.2 and a good number of the latest development release blfs packages. I noticed that while uncompressing, compiling, or installing software in the console, that my mouse sometimes becomes slow to respond. I'm using GPM 1.20.1. I did see this issue while using the LFS LiveCD to setup the system initially. Now that I've got XFree86 and KDE up and running successfully, I've noticed the same thing happens to the mouse there. In addition, after installing XMMS, I've found that playing CDs or MP3s and streaming audio will stop and hang in the middle of me browsing with Konquerer or compiling software in Konsole.
My first thought was that there was performance issues, but I'm running on an Athlon XP 2800+ with 1 gig of RAM and a GeForce 6600GT (On a NForce2 MB). The only weak link is the hard drive. It's 15GB, 4-5 years old, and formatted with ext3 (I haven't installed hdparm yet). After some research, I found out that when I run xmms as root and set the priority to anything less than 0, it seems to prevent the audio from failing. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
