Re: [linrad] linrad operation

Hi Arie,

Also I have had problems to make run linrad on a notebook, 
particularly  my new IBM R24 pentium IV 1600Mhz.
I have made diverged proofs and to the deceleration of the mouse 
interruptions on the exit are added audio also.
The problem has individualized IRQ 11 that my notebook uses in share 
between different device Sound , USB-mouse and other.
Also trying with the OSS driver that find a card audio ICH3 has not 
been able to resolve the problem.
I have abandoned the idea of use my notebook and I have returned to use 
an other PC compatible desktop.
