Description Frederic Conrotte 2005-11-01 18:54:13 UTC

When you play some audio files with Amarok and in the mean time you open a text file with a text editor (Kate for example). If you scroll the text files by holding down the "Page down" key, the audio file doesn't play anymore until you release the "Page down" key.

It seems the reason is that X11 eat up all the CPU ressource when scrolling down, leaving no more ressources to Amarok.

Sounds like a generic KDE drawing problem, or a problem regarding X11 communication...    Reassigned to kde-maintainers.

Comment 2 Dirk Mueller 2005-11-07 16:14:14 UTC

which graphics card driver do you use?

some tend to clock up the PCI bus which hurts scheduling behaviour.

Comment 3 Frederic Conrotte 2005-11-10 19:13:32 UTC

I don't really how to know the exact version of my nvidia driver.
My graphic card is an nvidia Geforce2 MX/MX400.

In /etc/X11/XF86Config :
Section "Device"
  BoardName    "GeForce2 MX/MX 400"
  BusID        "1:0:0"
  Driver       "nvidia"
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
  VendorName   "NVidia"
EndSection


Meanwhile I've found this :
/usr/share/doc/nvidia/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1.run

So I guess I have the NVidia drivers vesion 7676 for Linux ?

Tell me if you need more infos.

I doubt we can fix that with the resources we have. Could be anything ;(
