Subject:Smooth scrolling effs up the sound!

Whenever I enable "smooth" (Ha!) scrolling via the menu or
via shift-F6, the sound playback slows down and breaks up.
I'm told this is due to the video board grabbing the PCI
bus. Solutions abound, apparently, for the Matrox, Hercules
& S3 cards, but I have a Cirrus Logic 546X AGP card
(v1.60b).

Does anyone know where I can get a patch for this card?

Thanks,


Peter

Cancel this request - I've sorted it.
In case anyone else has the same problem, here's how:

Go to Settings/Control Panel/Display. Select the Bus
Config. tab and check the "Increase Non-AGP Bus Priority"
box. The "Enable PCI Bursting" box on my machine is also
checked, and the system now works fine in Smooth Scrolling
mode.

Hope this helps...
