Graphics intensive applications have been known to create noise on the PCI bus - this is probably what you're hearing. There's a fair bit of info out on the web if you look into audio related sites. IIRC, there are some PCI options you can pass XFree86 that tell it to be nicer to the PCI bus. Of course, it probably costs performance. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A Pope has a Water Cannon. It is a Water Cannon. He fires Holy-Water from it. It is a Holy-Water Cannon.
