Very Computer

I'm running a RH 6.0 install with the latest and greatest
enlightenment & it's almost unusable.  This is a heavily
loaded development system (large compiles and links all day
long) and it seems as if mouse events are getting lost, causing
enlightenment to crash.  Mouse pointer disappears, windows behave
erratically, mouse unrecoverable.  It appears to be load
dependent, as if the heavier load causes it to miss mouse (or
X) events.

I really like the appearance of Enlightenment, but if I can't
make it work better I'm bailing out.  The mouse is a MS
intellimouse ps/2 compatible with the middle-button wheel.
Nothing else seems off.

Is this just par for the course or is there something I can do
about this?

I would try a less demanding window manager.  Perhaps windowmaker?  If this
system is a heavy development system, why not use a window manager which
does not make large demands on system memory?  Perhaps something elegantly
simply like blackbox?  I also like icewm.

My desktop which is used for a few functions including ipmasq, samba
services, regular desktop activities like word processing, some database
chores, etc is a debian slink system using windowmaker 0.60.  No problems
here.  I have tried enlightenment and like it overall, I just prefer
windowmaker's approach to things.

I had a similar problem, mainly cause my machine is a bitser but oh well
it turned out that on high system load my machine crashed and from then on
that user would not load (i am running RH6.0 with the latest
enlightenment) on a p200mmx with 32M RAM and it turned out it was because
one of my RAM chips was not quite up to scratch and when LINUX tried to
optimise it the commands were getting lost somewhere a simple AM swapo
solved the problem any thoughts reply
