I know this story ;-)

OK, I found some posts about it.

So which version is recommended?
I hope _NOT_ the CVS version, NO?

SuSE 7.3 is shipping with binutils-2.11.90.0.29-14.src.rpm and latest 
"official" GNU is 2.11.2 which should be the base for SuSE 7.3.

/home/nuetzel> ld --version
GNU ld 2.11.90.0.29

Do you laughing about KDE, XFree86 DRI or KPager (it looks nice :-)?

There was a memory management problem with the tdfx driver some months ago.
Alan Hourihane (member of the X hall of fame) thought he solved it, but we 
will see. Maybe QT, KDE, KPager or MPlayer (?) have a little bug or to big 
memory footprint.

BTW
One of my best friends since school, a Win only man, he will be prosecutor 
soon ( :-))) ) was very deep impressed from your good work. If we ever see 
some Win binaries I think he will running MPlayer, too.

We saw some very few time shifts (hiccup) during watching HARD RAIN. CPU load 
was 28-33% on an 1.0 GHz Athlon II (0.18µm). My friend told me that he saw 
such things with a hardware accelerated DVD card on Windows from time to 
time, too. That's why he bought a stand-alone DVD player...

Any comments?
