Hello,
Hi Stefan, I switched to a vanilla 2.6.14.1 kernel and tried both radeon and fglrx. Identical results:
Wine-0.9 + 2.6.14.1 + radeon driver runing Crystal: Cpu(s): 16.3% us, 83.7% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Wine-0.9 + 2.6.14.1 + fglrx driver running Crystal Cpu(s): 16.3% us, 83.7% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si
So it's not graphics related - I also get the same results with fglrx and radeon
One thing I noticed about Crystal is that the default sound actually requires that you press a key hold it for a bit before the sound gets started. Maybe that's why you didn't hear anything?
Yes, that was it :)
LATE BREAKING NEWS: It appears that when I switch to the Alsa driver the CPU usage does down to normal. Were you using Alsa or OSS?
I tried both alsa and oss(with oss emulation in alsa), both are working fine. I don't use any hw acceleration. So is this program useable for you now with alsa?
Crystal seems to be usable for me on one machine, but another user reported back that he was already using the Alsa driver and he still has the problem so I'm not sure this is a complete solution.
There is a small but growing list of VSTs that fail this way. I am going to test a few more and see how it goes.
Also, I have opened a bug report at WineHQ to better track this. Please join in if you have somethigng to add.
