A few people using upIRC have been reporting sluggish keyboard response while it's connected to a server. The latest reports the same behavior with some networked apps (like terminal emulation) have the same problem, but not others (like ICQ).
My only theory is that the keyboard driver is latching into EvtGetEvent (and somehow doing the equivalent on OS 5, in the last case) and supplying the key events that way. In my case, though, I'm using NetLibSelect to see if events are in the queue while I'm connected, and the keyboard driver may not be handling that correctly. That's the only thing I can think of, since my Wireless Link keyboard doesn't give me the same problems... it works fine. Does that sound like a logic conclusion? If so, is there any way to get around it, short of going back to EvtGetEvent as the core of the event loop? I could shorten the timeout on NetLibSelect to make it a little better, but that would also drain the battery faster. Going back to the old event loop would have the same effect, since I'd have to do polling of the network connection. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Smith // avalon73 at arthurian dot nu // http://www.arthurian.nu/ Software Developer // Gamer // Webmaster // System Administrator "I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them." -- George H.
