Hi folks,

just to feedback and thank the guys who offered suggestions re the recent lockups i was getting. These occurred even on single player mode.

Found the problem. it seems that Gkrellm ( a desktop monitor prog ) was the source. Shutting it down before play completely stopped the freezes. No idea what it was doing tho.

particular thanks to the guy who patiently went thro process/memory monitoring with me during a game.

JFYI system is Athlon based, running Arch Linux, pekwm, with nvidia gfx.

cheers

yeah, Linux hurts!

Still it was the server that suxx0red yesterday evening. And I'm afraid that's what he's gonna do tonight again

Linux hurts ! hehehe

i swapped out to an XP drive to isolate the problem from OS, and altho the gfx looked nicer, i simply can't abide Windows. It just seemed slower.

It took me a few minutes to get past the AV tryna protect me everytime i ran nexuiz, even tho its on the "accepted" programs list.
It locked me out of the desktop screen, and it wouldn't allow hitting any [Accept] buttons, because somehow i'd got stuck between the desktop view and the half way into the GFX mode.

all visible, nothing clickable . Needed Alt-Ctrl-Del + right click to close the AV warning and allow thingsto proceed.

It irritated me i couldn't just pop out of the X server and close the app from a shell.

Heaven don't make me use Windows on a regular basis.
That REALLY hurts.
