Everything running just fine here. No problem in flash or mplayer.

NVidia is running like a sick turtle moving backwards. I reemerged mm-sources-2.6.6-r5. I'll wait for 2.6.8.

So I guess you guys are probably gamers ?? On my XFCE4 desktop I don't have much installed, just FireFox and a few apps like gedit, so I wouldn't really notice if the system became a lot more or less responsive. So what should I be running if I want to test out a new kernel like the love series? I was hoping that gmplayer would magically become faster but I guess that's more of an issue with my video card (NVidia TNT2 Model 64). If you're playing games, do you run them inside XWindows using something like xv-extension, or do you run the game on another console?

cheers,

ps. I do have xmame installed, but it doesn't seem to tax the system very much at all.

I run my games in the same XSession, as if it were in Window$.
I suggest Tux Racer to test your machine.

I have got an issue with new 2.6.7-mm2 (SMP)

I got a kstopmachine process which takes 100% of a CPU... strange

Well my issues with 2.6.7-mm2 occur with rhythmbox and mp3s. No sound comes out, cpu goes to 100% and mouse is jumpy. Reboot to 2.6.7-rc3-mm2 and everything works fine.

In every case with every kernel version FLASH always crashes mozilla. I wish I knew how to fix it as I have been fighting it for a year.

I had the same problem also. It turned out to be esd that was the cause. When I killed esd mozilla and flash continued like nothing ever happend, WITH sound (I use alsa). I solved it by making esd non executable.
