I used to get a load of errors about X resolution, but
since I changed to a 2.6 kernel I get no errors and
Xorg starts much quicker.  With 2.4 there was a lot of
initial screen flicker before X came up.  X still
takes a lot longer than my regular PCs.  They
generally go from text mode to Evilwm X starting
mythfrontend within half  second.  My xBox takes at
least 5.

I wonder if I'll be able to solve all my problems by
going to the nvidia driver instead of nv?

I just don't understand why I'm getting stuttering
when my CPU utilization is so low, i.e. 50%.  I had a
PII 400 which was experiencing similar stuttering but
its CPU was maxed out at 90-100% utilization.  I can
understand that, but at 50%, it must be something else
surely?

Any advice?

Thanks,

Ben
