Still, it does seem like the game is much less predictable on some systems. I have a linux laptop that plays it quite nicely (thus the 593.4 I reported earlier). I tried it on my desktop at home, and it was very jerky. The two systems are pretty comparable. For anyone who cares: here's the main differences with laptop (good) on the left and the desktop (bad) on the right: Mozilla: 1.5 on both, build dates 20031107 vs 20031007 Flash Version: 6.0.79.0 vs 6.0.69.0 CPU: Pent M 1700 vs Athlon XP 2100+ Video: ATI Radeon M9 vs Matrox G400 <=== I think this is the problem Kernel: 2.4.21 (debian) vs 2.6.1 I am going to reboot to check against the 2.4 kernel. Who knows? Maybe there will be a pingu bug report against the 2.6 kernel series. - 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/
