[Tuxnes-devel] Smoother scrolling

[Ryan J. <pro...@ya...>]

I'm new to the list, but I've been following the project for quite some
time now.  So please forgive me if I say something stupid ;-).

I've noticed that on my hardware (a rather unimpressive PII-350 with
nVidia RIVA TNT video card) that tuxnes' scrolling seemed kindof choppy.
I started looking around the code, and found the resynchronize()
function.  By tweaking the value passed to usleep(), the scrolling
became almost perfectly smooth.  The one side effect I've noticed is
that sound gets out of sync a bit more often than before, but not by
much.

I was considering writing a patch that would add a command-line option
to decrease this delay by some amount (1 or 2 milliseconds seems to do
it for me), but I was wondering if anyone might have a better solution.
I'm not sure what unintended effects my hack might have.  Any ideas?

Also, has anything been committed to CVS in the last couple of months?
There have been some postings to the list that indicate there has, but
'cvs update' doesn't download anything.  Maybe I'm just smoking
something... ;-)
