It depends on your hardware. Theoretically it's possible, but I've yet to see a motherboard with more than one periodic timer. "dmesg | grep hpet" should tell you something like: hpet0: 3 64-bit timers, 14318180 Hz Luca ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
