| |
OK, so I finally took the plunge, and put 2.5 on my main desktop as well as just the lab machines ;-)
Generally seems to work very well, and VM performance is much more stable than 2.4 ... but xmms seems to skip if I just waggle the scrollbar in some windows. This happens most in my email client (which is Mulberry), but other things show it to a more limited extent.
The audio pauses happen on a simple window scroll down, without intensive CPU background activity ... they're very short in duration, which makes it *feel* more like the audio buffer is too small than a scheduler problem, but I'm just guessing really.
So ... is there any easy way I can diagnose this? Does anyone else have a similar problem?
Audio is SiS SI7012 ALSA driver emulating OSS. Athalon 2100, 512Mb. kernel = 2.5.63-mjb2

PS. In the unlikely even that anyone's particularly fascinated by one app, Mulberry isn't free, but a free demo can be downloaded from http://www.cyrusoft.com if you wade through the registration ... as I say, unlikely ;-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
