realtime priority is not really a supported option, as making xmms setuid would be a security nightmare. Are you using a different window manager or desktop than you did under 7.3? What graphics hardware are you using? very good point sir - the hardware is identical to my 7.3 experience: SuperMicro P6DLS (intel 440LX w/ adaptec 7880 UW SCSI) Dual PII 333 MHz w/ 512 MB RAM Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 PRO (Virge DX) with 4 MB RAM 3 IDE hard drives and 2 SCSI cdroms BUT the window manager is the 8.0 default - 'metacity' right ? and in 7.3 I was using the default - 'sawfish' sawfish had an option to disable 'update window contents while moving' or something like that - and this is obviously what's kicking my but. so, i guess, close this as a WONTFIX (realtime thingy) PS incase anyone else is looking to do this or you can point out a better way to change window managers in 8.0/gnome 2.0 install librep, rep-gtk, and sawfish off 8.0 release (where's the sawfish bluecurve theme?) then go thru the menu redhat->extras->preferences->sessions and click the 'current session' tab find metacity and make it 'style' 'normal' so it doesn't respawn and 'apply' then at a prompt: pkill metacity | sleep 3 | nohup sawfish & then run 'gnome-session-save' after all this - there is no expert level of configuration in sawfish2 so the previously mentioned 'update while moving' option is not available to turn off. grrrrrr so many customizations removed with gnome2.... ah well. Isn't that a result of the "renice X to -10" feature? Happens for me too, Duron 750, via 686b AC97. Closing as WONTFIX for the realtime issue in xmms |
