sorry forgot to ask, is this on SSD or a SDHC card? and are you using swap?

[darul75]

SSD installation, erase of xandros install.

Yes I use swap, but the best would be not to use it (I will changed it personaly) and mount into memory temporary directories by adding to /etc/fstab/

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=0777 0 0

tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=0777 0 0

tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=0777 0 0

tmpfs /var/log/apt tmpfs defaults,noatime 0 0

and use a 2Gb memory card.

hey nice demo. just wondering what software were you using for the cam? for me ucview wouldn't properly show the preview with compiz running :(

[darul75]

just need to set some video settings in ucview menus, use X11 display, normally should work.

I believe i'll get a hold of this fucker next month and install good ol' Debian on it.

thanks for the advice. it seems to be working currently, but like yours it goes blue when you move the cube or do any other compiz moves. I did look through the menu's but saw nothing relating to X11, i was gona maksure it was using it.

Wow. Remarkably smooth. Much snappier than I would expect it to be.
