Not my fav thing to do. But, as you all know, I run the latest bleeding edge kernels here, so as soon as I got it running on the new drive last night, I built and installed 2.6.32-rc7. Now, I have no idea if it is the radeon/drm changes in the new kernel, or if its because the drive was well organized after copying everything over with rsync, but while glxgears is still its leisurely 270 fps, this machine feels about 10x snappier than it did, I mean the diff is extremely obvious. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
