I see that Fernando has already answered although I had not received the response here just yet: http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2004-September/006162.html I did try setting the THREADED operator back to 1. That didn't change anything for me. Fernando's suggestion to look at his newer kernel will be addressed early this afternoon. As background, this is a clean install of FC2 on a machine that also runs Win XP Pro and Gentoo. It's running KDE which I'm not overly familiar with anymore. I've attempted to follow Fernando's suggestions in this email: http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2004-August/005789.html except that I used a newer kernel of his. (But not the newest...) There are a few tools I'm used to under Gentoo, usbview most notibly, that I haven't found yet under FC2, and I'm still getting used to where things are. (lsmod for instance...) I may or may not have accomplished all of his tuning suggestions in the above email, and I have to reread the Planet pages to see what does and does not apply to using FC2. I think this is where things are now, but it needs to be double checked: kernel_preemption == 1 voluntary_preemption == 3 threaded IRQ for the ATI chip == 0 or 1 (no change) sysrq == 1 (Not sure - haven't checked if it sticks after a reboot) /sbin/modprobe realcap allcaps=1 (by hand after booting) That's where I am at this point. I just started with FC2 yesterday morning so I'm not expecting much yet, but hopefully over the next few days. Thanks for paying attention. I appreciate it. cheers, Mark
