This is a new machine: a Sun dual Opteron box with the sarge AMD64 smp kernel. I used gkrellm, too, with no probs on my previous P4 home-brew box. But here, gkrellm runs, the mouse twitches; gkrellm stops, the mouse is OK again. Turning off all the modules in gkrellm didn't do it either. hdparm shows the IDE disk with DMA on. Besides, nothing else changed (that I know of) between gkrellm off and on... I'd be very pleased to know about it if I'm wrong -- I do like watching the bits move around :-) -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
