2008-07-29 14:31:09 Sean M. Pappalardo description Mixxx pins the processor on startup, even preventing mouse movement for 10 seconds at a time! Tested on a Compaq Presario R3306US laptop: AMD Athon XP-M with nVidia GeForce 4 Go 440 video card & nVidia drivers. Workaround: Switch to the Simple waveform view. Options->Preferences->Interface->Waveform Display, set to Simple (Since it's really hard to move the mouse, use this key sequence: CTRL-P, crsr down x3, TAB x5, crsr down, enter, Alt-F4.) Then restart Mixxx. Theory: Waveform display uses OpenGL. Cards that don't support it use the main CPU, bringing it to its knees. Mixxx pins the processor on startup, even preventing mouse movement for 10 seconds at a time! Tested on a Compaq Presario R3306US laptop: AMD Athon XP-M with nVidia GeForce 4 Go 440 video card & nVidia drivers, Windows XP Home SP2. Workaround: Switch to the Simple waveform view.
