Sometimes improved speed can be a problem. See... http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-131884-highlight-xboing.html I ran into this with a 1999 model 450 mhz PIII Dell that I switched from Debian to Gentoo. On Debian it was nice-n-slow at speed level 1. In Gentoo, the ball flew right past me before I could move. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
