you're a KDE user, aren't you? in the DM you're using (e.g. mdkkdm, kdm, gdm, xdm) make sure that X is not being niced: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg129204.html kcontrol, stop artsd from running with real time priority. xmms, make sure it's using arts output plugin (may need to install xmms-arts), don't allow it to run with realtime either. log out, then CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to make the DM changes take effect, then log back in and you should be fine. -- Jack at Monkeynoodle Dot Org: It's A Scientific Venture...
