You are right, I think it works fine, it's just that the CPU utilization
(and maybe process priorities) are different than under my old 2.1.121
kernel. Incidentally, I can't get xosview to work any more either, but
/proc/cpuinfo does show 2 processors and I can get the CPU utilization to
go up to 100% if I really try. Anyway, I guess I was just confused.

Yup, I had the same 200% problem for a while, but then I think they fixed
it in February.
