1 Hello,
2
3
4 I'm pulling out my hair here. BZflag-2.0.12 use to work great
5 on Gentoo. The kernel (1.6.27-r7-gentoo) has not changed.
6 However for about a week now, after a bunch of updates,
7 xrog*, evdev etc etc, it has very high lag and jitter
8 over the net.

10
11 I can reboot the same system and play bzflag on XP pro
12 just fine. It use to work great on gentoo, but now
13 it lags so bad I get booted after a few second on the game
14 bandwidth is fine (cable modem).
15
16 X use to run up the load bad when the problem first occured,
17 but now that does not seem to happen.
18
19 I've rebuild everything I can think of, to no avail.
20 From /usr/portage/games-action/bzflag/bzflag-2.0.12.ebuild
21 it only seems to use a few things:
22
23 UIDEPEND="virtual/opengl
24 virtual/glu
25 media-libs/libsdl
26 media-libs/glew
27 x11-libs/libICE
28 x11-libs/libSM
29 x11-libs/libX11
30 x11-libs/libXau
31 x11-libs/libXdmcp
32 x11-libs/libXext
33 x11-libs/libXi
34 x11-libs/libXmu
35 x11-libs/libXt
36 x11-libs/libXxf86vm"
37
38 DEPEND=">=net-misc/curl-7.15.0
39 sys-libs/ncurses
40 net-dns/c-ares
41 sdl? ( ${UIDEPEND} )
42 !sdl? ( !dedicated? ( ${UIDEPEND} ) )"
43
44 I have these installed:
45
46 ati-drivers 8.561
47 Xorg-server 1.5.3-r1
48 xf86-input-evdev 2.1.1
49 xorg-x11 7.4
50 kde-meta 3.5.9
51
52 On the same hardware, rebooted to XP pro, it's just fine.
53
54 Any ideas what to try or mask to get this working again?
