Hello again. I have tested xLinrad 02.05 on both very different machines. A 1.86 GHz 1GB RAM Pentium Centrino laptop and a 1.2 GHz AMD Athlon 256 MB desktop computer. I get an strange CPU usage increase up to 100 % before real operation, in the parameter selection screen.

Hi Leif, Forgot to post the debugging xz: int lir_lock_mem(void) { int i,k; xz(lir_lock_mem_1); i= mlockall(MCL_CURRENT); xz(lir_lock_mem_2); if(i==0)return 0; k=errno; munlockall(); errno=k; return i; } More information about the mlockall issue. This dirty code modification

I do not undertand why this happens, because I chose N to the question: use mlockall to prevent swapping ? (Y/N) - N This is a trivial bug. There should have been a test if(ui.memloc==0) Ok. The xz() function has been a very efective way of finding where the crash occured. Thanks for

Linrad uses the parallel port to control the WSE hardware. For this reason one has to run Linrad as root, something that also makes it easier to use svgalib. Thanks, I shoud have read the manual. If you want to disable the parallel port reads and writes, set VALGRIND TRUE in vernr.h
