    I switched from linux-2.4.20-gentoo1 to linux-2.6.0-test3-mm3 and X seems much more responsive.. no more jumpy mouse cursors, and I no longer have a problem with memory leaks.

    Switching to ALSA from OSS is cool, I suppose.. though I don't notice any benefits from it yet, and I'm waiting to see what the sysfs is all about.

    Anyway, things are working better than they did before. I would recommend upgrading to 2.6 as soon as its released.
