> Whats your CPU & PCI chipset ??
sorry, I had my machine get frozen by a stupid typo so I had to reboot
when I was writting a message with this info...
CPU: AMD-K6tm w/ multimedia extensions (225.01-MHz 586-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x562 Stepping=2
Features=0x8001bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,MMX>
chip0: <VIA 82C595 (Apollo VP2) system controller> rev 0x03 on pci0.0.0
chip1: <VIA 82C586 PCI-ISA bridge> rev 0x27 on pci0.7.0
bktr0: <BrookTree 848> rev 0x11 int a irq 11 on pci0.9.0
STB TV/PCI, Temic NTSC tuner, dbx stereo.
sc0 not found at 0x60
(no video on this machine at all)...

I got:
frame 301
micro seconds 11377
12.38 real 0.00 user 0.02 sys
which is actually better than before... that's ~24.39fps which is
actually what I'm seeing usually with my program...

actually, it does have a sleep(1)... I forgot to mail you that extra
line.. it's right after the mmap line before that function returns...
I've tried looking at the data I get and I usually get only half the
display of actual data and some residue... which means it looks like
I'm only getting one of the two fields...
