In the past few months I've been noticing 2 problems with my A7M266-D (dual athlon) computer (2 processors installed) with its ATI Radeon 7500 gfx card:
1) Whenever I try to burn CD's at x20 it falls over very quickly (about 12MBytes). Burning them at x8 at least gives me a chance of backing things up but it wasn't perfect. 2) Whenever heavy disk IO (for example when Debian reads its package database) is performed the whole of X hangs for tens of seconds, but things like alsaplayer keep playing (and don't skip a beat). Anyway, I finally got fed up of this as I was sure it didn't use to be this bad - so I decided to investigate. I was currently using 2.4.20-rc2-ac3 + ALSA + CVS DRI. I went back to the old installation of 2.4.19-pre5-ac3 and everything works fine (this also had ALSA and CVS DRI from about May). I then updated ALSA & DRI to current, and it was back to its old bad behaviour. So I tried 2.4.20-rc3 with the radeon.o DRM module it comes with (+ the ALSA drivers) and everything works fine (well, apart from DRI!). Stopping X, unloading the DRM module, insert the latest CVS version and start up X again and we are back to not being able to write CD's again. Any comments/ideas? Feel free to ask me for any additional information/testing you need (although I'm rapidly running out of blank CD's!).
