I can't run the TV proggie cause the video card is exceedingly cheap ( avanclogic ) and that box doesn't have X on it. I export Xapps to another box. Whenever I run the rgb16 program xsysstats pegs out for about 20 seconds. I'm not much of a C programmer any more ( hell, I'm a Pascal prgrammer from the days of Turbo Pascal 1 under CP/M :-) ) so I'm really over my head... but I'm trying! What I've done was stick a coupla printf's into rgb16.c so I could see what was running when the load peaked. It of course peaks right after it writes the ppm header to disk. The drive light is only flickering so I dont think its disk I/O thats slowing it down. Occasionally I get a console error : bktr0: ioctl: tsleep error 35 237d5c The last number is usually different and I get 'last message repeated blah times'. but usually only Once per rgb16 run. Hints/comments are appreciated. +-----------------------------------------------+ : Tom Arnold - No relation to Rosanne : : SysAdmin/Pres - TBI, Ltd ( inna.net ) : : The Middle Peninsula's Internet Connection : +-----------------------------------------------+
