- I've had trouble with the sound blanking out when doing heavy disk
- accessing. I'm guessing that the sound isn't buffered in advance to the
- linux side and that it's Executor that's having trouble multitasking and
- not linux (but then what do I expect when running on a 486sx33. I'm
- running an 11mhz mac with slow graphics. I'm amazed that it runs word5.1
- so well). I figure this is just a speed issue.

- I've had this trouble in lots of games in both X windows and full screen
- mode. I'm guessing that this is a problem with double buffering because
- the screen will fade out (using colormap rotation) and then when a new
- screen should be flipped on and then the faded in, the old one is still
- shown for a sec. This is not a critical bug but annoying. It'd be nice
- to see it fixed but not essential.
-
- By the way, does anyone know if any version of Photoshop works under
- Executor? I'm doing a demo of Executor for our Atlanta Linux Expo in
- April (mail me for details) and I'd like to show Photoshop running.
