On F12 (on a new machine), I had a problem with occasional (frequent) "ticks," like a skip on a vinyl record, and had a problem where the mouse pointer would "stick" when moving it about. Very annoying. I finally remembered the "fix" in F11 and thought it might apply to F12. I applied the "tsched=0" bit and have had no more problems. Hurray! By the way, module-hal-detect is loaded in system.pa on F12, not default.pa. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
