[luau] Dual Processors & Linux

[Rodney Kanno]

Morning Everyone,

I have a dual processor computer, but I am getting the impression that 
Linux is using only one processor. I am running SUSE 9.0, with the 
2.4.21-166-smp4G kernel. Doing a cat /proc/cpuinfo shows that Linux is 
detecting 2 cpu's. However, when I try to run video, the video is very 
choppy and pretty much un-watchable. Ksim also shows only one cpu in use 
(cpu0), but displays cpu0 and cpu1. This system was giving me problems 
before where for some reason, the BIOS would detect only 1 processor. 
When this occured, video playback was fixed. Could the BIOS alsobe 
causing Linux to use only one processor (but detect two) as well? Or is 
there a setting somewhere in Linux to make use of both? I can dual boot 
to windows, and windows shows both processors in use from task manager. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
