Hello everybody,
thank you for your help so far, unfortunately my problem isn't solved.
All drives are set to DMA mode, the X-server has nice-level 0. Even a
higher value gives no improvement. Still the pointer stumbles
periodically, as well as mp3 playback and even text output.
I'm wondering if this could be a more serious problem related to the
chipset (it's a VIA KX-133) or the PCI/IDE subsystem? There is a
suspicious output of dmesg:
pciehp: acpi_pciehprm:get_device PCI ROOT HID fail=0x1001
shpchp: acpi_shpchprm:get_device PCI ROOT HID fail=0x1001
[snip]
Mote important than seeing all the processes is for you
to do:
lspci > lspci.txt
lspci -v > lspci-v.txt
and attach those 2 files to your reply.
Could somebody explain this to me? Does "fail" mean something malicious
and could this be related to my performance problem?
Here comes the output of ps aux - perhaps somebody sees some unusual
process which eats my system performance...
Thank you in advance and best wishes,
Tobias
