Dear All, I'm running Suse 9.3 on a reasonable machine. (1.6GHz AMD athlon, 512MB ram). My studio at the moment consists of Rosegarden, Hydrogen, zynaddsubfx, qsynth and Ardour(when I don't get CPU overflows). I've been using KDE, and upon reccomendation I tried FVWM as it's lighter, but I had the same number (lots!) of xruns and problems. It did run slightly better; I had 9 extra megs of ram free but realistically I want no xruns. I'm not running a patched kernel as I'm unable to find out what patches SUSE needs to run that conflict with the realtime patches. My kernel is 2.6.11 atm. Any advice? Apologies as this is really trivial; it's just that I have very little idea what to do about it. -- Jonty Needham <jmn20@xxxxxxxxxx>
