Excellent thought. I will see if there is some kind of resource
conflict. I can actually do that! By the way, what is the process or
command in "Top" called events/0 ? It shows up in the very far right
column. Normally it has zero cpu usage whenever I run the Top program.
But when X starts with the rt2500 loaded, it climbs to the sky, and
beyond! Sort of like a super hero ;-)
