So first suggestion to Chuckk would be trying different jackd settings. ACPI is known to be broken because strange implementations by the manufactures. Under nonrealtime 32bit Ubuntu I needed to boot with acpi=off noacpi parameters to avoid xruns, for strange reasons I dont need it on 64 Studio anymore. Maybe a low ressource windows manager helps in your case so check out Blackbox which is in the Debian AMD64 repos. Blackbox is really bare bones so dont forget to install xterm so you can start programms. When you rightclick in the bare desktop a menu comes up with the xterm entry. Of course Blackbox can be configured to be more convinent, its just for testing. In general I am happy with 64 Studio. Nonrealtime stuff like Cinelerra is much more responsive too. What I miss are some packages but I guess they will be added/updated soon. Namely csound 5 would be great, I cant get it running at the moment. The repos holds an old 4.23 version and a pure data version without many important externals and a bug with the tablewrite function. I tried to compile on my own but failed so far, I get many errors, I already posted to the appropriate mailinglists.
More and more I don't want to work my way through all of this. Thank you for the tips, but I'm finding now audio isn't working at all. I was able to compile Pure Data 1.40, its externals, and Csound5, but the more I think about it the less certain I am which laptop I was using. -Chuckk
