That means, if I'm walking around, about every 2-3 seconds I'm skipping a bit of the way. It seems that the clock is running too slow and the games are trying to catch up every x seconds with the system time. System is running 2.6.0-test9-mm1. This effect does not show with 2.4.23pre6aa3, though there are only two processors displayed. Is this normal? Judging from the temperature sensors that is not just one processor with its sibling but really the two physical processors. Is there any way with 2.4 to show all 4 processors? I've tried booting 2.6 with nosmp, but that results in most interrupts not working anymore. What can I try to get test9 working properly?
