Hey, In the ongoing attempt to eliminate xruns, I've set Option "no_accel" "yes" in the XF86Config. Watching the screen redraw is like a valume overdose. I've done this without really knowing why it will help or whether it has. Assuming that it has helped, I probably have to live with it. I am using Planet CCRMA with KDE and have a runlevel for Desktop work and another for audio work. I boot into runlevel 5 and then use telinit to switch to 3. Is it possible to specify xf86config files for each of these runlevels? Or is there another method for a user to turn acceleration on and off? Is anyone else turning off acceleration and how do you deal with the performance? ron __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
