OS3.9 sometimes freezes for a second
« on: December 13, 2009, 04:10:23 PM »
Im making progress, moving up from the hardware to the software topic.. :)

Ive now got os3.9 working fine, together with cgx4. But Ive noticed from time to time, the mousecursor freezes for a second. This can happen when extracing lha, clicking a link in Netsurf, etc.
 
What could be causing this? Are there known issues with AsyncWB for example? My guess is it has something to do with this. But it could also be some misconfiguration in the CGX tooltypes, for example.
 
Speaking of which, how do I enable screendragging?

My setup is 3.9 + Picasso96, and it freezes just like you describe but only when connected to the Internet using Genesis, even if I'm not actively using the connection.
 
I have no idea what causes this... :(

well, thanks! now I know where to start looking. I wasnt aware it was genesis that was causing the freezes, but now it makes sense.
 
perhaps I should switch to miamidx anyway, still got it lying around somewhere, registered. it does work with os3.9 I hope? :)

refurbished one from Elbox tower. its not a power issue, honest. it is related to Genesis.
 
Or, well.. there is one other thing I can think of, currently Im not using Setpatch with the option to skip the update for scsi.device. I didnt make any changes to NSDpatch.cfg either. I am however using IDE-Fix. Could it be that the OS is conflicting with the IDE-Fix express scsi.device patching?

Hi. Ive done some testing. Its definately caused by Genesis. When not loaded, lha extraction is fast and responsive. when Genesis is online, lha extraction causes system freeze every few seconds.
