I disabled everything else including xscreensaver, and shutdown folding @home as well. Essentially no processes outside that of the system and X, excepting evolution. I run fluxbox for WM. I have 2 Gb Mushkin memory. ** One thing that comes to mind is that I have no patch audio wires from the player to the MB at this point. Could this make a big difference in what the player has to do to get things to work? I saw a fair amount of output from codeine about dropped frames (being too old) as well as other issues. I can post some of that in a separate email. Kenward > > Dean > > Kenward Vaughan wrote: > > Is this an issue with the amd64 arch, or something else?
