Why moving the mouse a little (that causes a microscopic % of CPU being used) makes X priority jump up to 29 from 6/7 ??? And why this doesn't happen when glxgears (for example) is running? (under cpu load this is different, with X never getting "good" priority -- if I remember correctly) Maybe this is normal and depends on the way X sleeps or something... I don't know much about schedulers but if I'm able to make the cursor going in jerks with just a bit of CPU load (linux$ make -j16, for example) I wonder why X cannot get a better priority... -- Paolo Ornati Linux 2.6.16-rc1-plugsched on x86_64 - 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/
