What is the nice value in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config set to? It should be -10 for 2.4.x kernels and 0 for 2.6.x kernels. Note that "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common", though it seems to configure this file, does not actually update it (due to a missing checksum - a known bug). You will need to edit the file manually. After editing this file, you will need to restart X to get the priority to change. Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
