The only odd behaviour I see with v15 (and also with v10) is that X occasionally terminates when I unlock the screen. Haven't run pure test[45] enough to say for sure that it doesn't happen there. Load was setiathome, kernel make -j3, calculate PI to 20k places. System was responsive and pleasant to use before I locked it, when I came back X died, system was still stable. RH 7.3 base, 2.6.0-test5+nick15, PII-350, 96MB, KDE Next week I'll run pure test5 for a day and see what happens. I'll also get some actual numbers on responsiveness (I think). After stability test I'll run test5-mm1 (or latest) and look for the X oddity. So far Nick-v15 seems to do a better job than test5-mm1, I don't have a sound card the system will use at the moment. -- Bill Davidsen machine name and IP do not reflect reality, stealth in progress - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
