Once in X11 it's better (due to many IRQs being triggered here, I assume), but still not perfect. This did "work properly" (for whatever reason) with 2.6.19-rc1-mm* and got broken once going to -rc2-mm*, IIRC. -rc4-mm1 is stock version without any local patches (for accurate bug reporting). x86 UP Athlon 1200, VIA chipset. Probably some problem with VIA chipsets and APIC, PIT, ...? Would be nice to get this to work properly, anything I should try to debug? Andreas Mohr 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
