| 4229.1 | Works fine for me | DECWET::DAVIS | You always get what you deserve | Sun Nov 04 1990 19:27 | 3 |
| V2.7 works great for me. I cannot tell the difference between v2.5 and
v2.7.

Now the question is what makes V2.7 jittery on my display but not
yours. And, why is 2.5 just fine on my machine.

| I am using V2.7 and notice that only the 1st screenfull of data is
jiterry (this is on an interlaced screen). After that everything works
quite smoothly. I like V2.7 using the larger screen (interlace as the
WB screen).

| 4229.4 | Maybe I/O related | DECWET::DAVIS | You always get what you deserve | Mon Nov 05 1990 11:36 | 7 |
| I've noticed that if you are viewing a large file MM continues
accessing the disk while you are reading/scrolling. Maybe the jitters
are related to disk I/O and screen activity. Like -.1 says, my first
screen jumps a little but scrolls smoothly after that even with
300-400K files.

| 4229.5 | Mouse Motion and Jitteriness | HKFINN::MACDONALD | VAXELN - Realtime Software Pubs | Tue Nov 06 1990 09:21 | 8 |
| The mystery remains. However, I was able to stop the jittery scroll and
make it perfectly smooth, bu rapidly moving the mouse in a circular
motion! Now, why would the mouse have an impact on the smoothness of
the scroll. The mouse buttons are used to control the direction of
scroll, by why a rapid circular motion would effect the smoothness of
the scrolling is a mystery.
Any suggestions? Hardware, software?

| What mouse accelerator program are you using? Turn off all your background
processes or boot from standard wb1.3 floppy and try it.

| FWIW, I am using Qmousev1.6 with the acceleration and threshold
"increased". I would try what -.1 suggests and see what happens. Are
you using an interlaced or non-interlaced MM screen?

| That was the first thing I thought of. Like I said earlier, V2.5 does
not exhibit the jitters. I even tried it without the 2620 and other
periphs, and on a virgin Workbench disk. That is why I suspect a
problem with my version of the mother board - or Fat Agnes ...

| I use DMouse 1.? (2 i think) and MuchMore V2.7 seems to be pretty
smooth when nothing much else is going on (PopUpMenu, SID and 2 CLIs -
all quiet).
I can make it jitery by doing VIRTGIF or other CHIP memory eater runs
on my 2000.

| 4229.10 | Stack | DICKNS::MACDONALD | VAXELN - Realtime Software Pubs | Tue Nov 06 1990 15:13 | 3 |
| I noticed that ARTM displays MuchMore V2.7's stack as a -38000 or so,
while MuchMore V2.5 display a stack of 9000 or so. Does the negative
value have any significance?
|
| 4229.11 | | CLO::COBURN | Growing older, but not up... | Tue Nov 06 1990 18:51 | 11 |
| I just fired up ARTM and see a Stack of -149000+ with MuchMore.
MuchMore must use a method of setting the stack that ARTM doesn't
understand.
It still seemed smooth (even with JRCOMM running) on my interlaced
display. I know these comments aren't helping you solve your problem
Paul but hopefully if you get enough information you can find out what
is different. Good Luck.
