I just want to add a quick note here. I have actually found stable to be less stable for me than CVS. Of course I also do daily updates on KDE-CVS and have only have problems a few times (recompiling in an hour or so usually fixed that.) I personally like seeing what is new and up and coming and getting a few surprises than waiting for 6 months for the next version to come out (if I wanted that then I wouldn't be using Gentoo which gives me these opportunities to play.) > > Well, things in CVS change, perhaps some critical code changed from your > > "slackware" CVS snippet to the one you are using with Gentoo (just a > > guess). > > Probably. I'll try to downgrade Arts. Thanks anyway. Question here... are you using the wonderful ebuilds from Dan Armak ( http:// dev.gentoo.org/~danarmak/kde-cvs.html )? If not I would suggest trying them. If you are you might want to look at the following use flag: artswrappersuid It is a local USE flag for Arts CVS that will set the suid on the artswrapper. This should help. If that isn't set then there will be a lag generally (even though this was supposedly fixed without that I can't get good sound.) Another place to look into would be your kernel. I'm not sure which kernel you are using, but some are definitely better than others in terms of sound and also desktop usage. I'm currently using the CK-Sources ( http://bugs. gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22822 ) as they are the best functioning sources I have found (without doing it all from a vanilla kernel.) Just a few suggestions that may help. One last one... ccache... this should almost be a requirement with CVS ebuilds. Works wonderfully to lower the amount of time required to recompile the sources. Hope that helps a little and good luck :) Justin T > -- > Andrea Bergia - studente Linux Registered User #281550 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
