Ok I already posted something about this problem in other thread but since this is support thread maybe someone knows more about it. The problem is that when I listen music with xmms cpu usage is ~40%! It's less than 10% with gentoo-sources. I heard that it could be alsa problem but I don't know what to do. I've tried to use built in kernel drivers and alsa-driver but both have the same problem.

Anyone know if there's a patch available for vmware's config pl script?

As mentioned before, vmware should work out of the box,...

i had issues with nvidia - switching (or exiting) from X to console causes out of scan range error on my monitor.

quick fix : set your console to some different resolution than X - i had both console and X at 1280x1024-24@75 and had problems with nitro
changing console to 1024x768 helped.

it did not happen before in previous nitro version, so i guess it's a bug. no idea where. (vesafb-tng perhaps?)

10 fps more in the nitro should not be concerned as placebo. Maybe this is the preemtition i left out in the ck kernel (as con recommends)...

Any news on a new release of nitro? Got bored with -rc3 here (plus some degraded interactivity).

I assume the dev's know, but for anyone else:

Do not enable the Genetic Library or Genetic Scheduler if you plan to use Suspend or Suspend2. The kernel isn't quite smart enough to realize that the PC has been hibernating for 6 hrs, so when you turn it back on, it sees 0% kernel usage, and knocks the kernel down to crap. After hibernating with the Genetic libraries, I couldn't play an mp3, or avi with mplayer....got a message that my system is too slow.

<WishfulThinking>
It'd be nice if the kernel would pick up on a hibernation call, and the Genetic Scheduler. Then it sees when you resume, and resumes the scheduler.

Thanks for the help and the bitchin' kernel.

It blows kanotix/overclockix out of the water.

Alright, well with hibernation....I can't play any media with mplayer or xmms. I wonder if this is nitro, or if it's my laptop.

Also, I can't get Suspend2 to work with the 2.6.14 nitro sources. I build Suspend2 and the LZF algorithm in, but hibernate crashes claiming I haven't built the Suspend2 patch into the kernel.
