Just as yet another data point: I've tried this with PIII 450s and PII 350s, and the same result. However, I did some more research. I have tried both OSS and PCM drivers...same effect. However, if I play with the buffering config of the OSS output driver in xmms, I can get the GUI to update about every 200 ms. This is still crappy, but it seems to be related to the timing of the output buffer refresh. I have recompiled X verifying that it defined REENTRANT, XLIBTHREADS, etc. Joe Clarke On Mon, 14 Feb 2000, Ade Lovett wrote: > On Tue, Feb 15, 2000 at 01:24:47AM +0000, Mark Ovens wrote: > > OK, I've u/g to XFree86 3.3.6 and xmms-1.0.1 was still the same.
