Yes. That resolution was making your system too slow. But this person seems to have a very fast system. And you do realise that there are creatures on this earth that actually (gasp) don't rely on GUIs! (I'll admit that, right now, I seem to be addicted to AfterStep, but that's only because it's so cool...). So, no, this is nowhere near the problem. The problem is, AFAIK, the kernel that the person is running. The sound code has been totally rewritten for 2.2, and on the mailing list (about the time 2.2.3 was being released) there was some talk about the fact that people were getting skips in audio playback. I was getting timeouts even when I played wavs. I don't know if this little misfeature has been fixed in the recent versions. Check the kernel changelogs. Either that, or just downgrade to a 2.0 kernel. See if that helps. ------------------------------------------------ Ewan Dunbar ------------------------------------------------ Visit Preston Manning: Action Hero at http://earl.thedunbars.com/pmah/index.html ------------------------------------------------ -- To get out of this list, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html
