alsa drivers choking kdeinit
Hello list,
for over a month now I've been troubled by a KDE that would increasingly slow
down as the uptime of my laptop went up.
After a wile, kdeinit would come up and take lots of system cpu. As I kept my
laptop running, the cpu spikes caused by kdeinit would become higher, longer
sustained and at shorter intervals making my laptop unusable after a few
hours (about 3).
I always thought it had to do with some kernel stuff since restarting KDE (or
X for that matter) would'nt fix it, only a reboot would.
Today I finally find out that it was ALSA that was causing all the trouble. I
stopped alsa, removed the modules from my kernel, and everything runs smooth.
Did anyone else notice this? Did I just have bad luck? When not starting KDE
(just xinit) the problem never occured, so it has to be some combination of
KDE and ALSA.
I'm using a custom kernel (2.4.21-rc2-ac2) with alsa (1.0.3) compiled as
module.
Any way I can fix this, should I move to 2.6?
