Funny thing is that even my girlfriend realised the advantage of menot giving support for "friend": More time with her ;-) Thats why I tell them that I am a software-DEVELOPER and otherwisehardware and software just has to work for me (which is the reason Ino longer use windows if there isn't a real good reason like UT orCorel Draw [*]). BTW: I am one of those nvidia-binary-users. :-) And it works, evenwith low-latency-audio and semitransparent windows. Seeing ardoursmeters behind the tracks _is_ nice! Have a nice weekend, Arnold [*] Yes, I know. Ut can be run on linux too and inkscape is a goodreplacement for Corel, but the files are in Corel and currently I onlyhave to do minor modifications on them. Not enough to switch them overto svg...
