The only symptom (subjective) that I can see is occasional but repeatable (if you get what I mean) video _only_ skips in xine. The audio does not skip. The video skips are very short, only a 4-5 frames at most. They occur _only_ when performing such operations as rendering a large bitmap to the screen. They do _not_ occur when dragging windows (with contents visible during drag,) nor does CPU load seem to have an effect. Playing games with nice/renice on xine or on other processes, especially GIMP etc., does not seem to have an effect. >>From this it seems to my limited view that the remaining skips might be XFree86 issues? Some pertinent details: 2 x P4 Xeon 2.4 Mhz, 512Mb ram. Radeon VQ + Matrox Mystique. Premptive kernel Hyperthreading enabled. IDE DVD, no SCSI in system. No problems at all, only minor niggles since 2.5.67. (I have been following -mm patches.)
