[ATrpms-users] Kernel options question

Hi Axel,

I've been doing some reading on the Myth mailing lists on the strange  
occurance of 'galloping' horizontal scrolling.  It seems the problem is  
created by the difference between screen refresh rates of NTSC and PAL (30  
vs 25) and can be solved via the tuning of the kernel parameter  
"CONFIG_HZ" to a number which is evenly divisible by both formats.  Now  
I'm by no means a kernel expert, but I understand that this specific  
parameter shouldn't adversely effect most users if it is tweaked to an  
alternate setting.

What's your opinion of changing the default to either 300 or 3000?

TIA,

Matt.
