I can't get the 2.6 to work, i built it about 15 times and then gave up.  I
need matroxfb for tvout and simply don't have the time to troubleshoot it
anymore...  I'll wait until i'm sure its stable before trying THAT again
;-).

Yes, nice & root does seem to better things.  But its still evident every
few minutes. I'll try mp1e, thats meant to be less CPU intensive I think..
