I installed the X4 debs, and I'm running Phase 2v3. If something changes
quickly in an xterm or a powershell, I can get clicks on the speakers.
If I scroll a large file quickly in an Xterm, I can (a) degrade
the playing quality of an mp3 unacceptably and (b) get the XServer
to use up 60% CPU time
Speaking of PPC patches, here's more. Lots more. Replace the previous
copies.
These are not fully tested, but should at least be an improvement...
