Hi, Friends: Some of you may recall my adventures, a few weeks ago, with weird performance from the sound on my IBM Thinkpad T20. ALSA was working just fine when the unit was in its dock, but played at what sounded like half-speed when the unit was not docked. Some wags here dubbed this the NLS phenomen! <grin> Well, I reinstalled ALSA. This time, I did the compiles with the machine running on battery power. And, behold, all seems well. It played at speed from the battery, and when I redocked it. So, perhaps there is something to the business about Copperman Stepping technology messing with ALSA's performance. So, I'm crossing my fingers that it will still work OK when next I undock and go mobile. I'll report if it doesn't. Just thought I'd add this piece of news to the memory banks here. -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) janina at afb.net (202) 408-8175 http://www.afb.org/gov.html The invention of the printing press has been named the crowning achievement of the past millennium.
