Re: Anyone else seeing jumpy mice?

While it's nice to supposedly have narowed this down to the SMP cleanup, that doesn't make those of us who are running single processor machines very cofident that the bug's been found. Here's my guess: there may be something interupt driven related to the SMP stuff, but there's also something wr

I stopped using moused sometime during 4.0-current as a result of this. It ocasionally froze, moved randomly around the screen, clicked without being touched, and yes, got extreamly jumpy. The hardware's rock solid, and once I ditched moused and read the device directly, life went back to normal.

Has anyone had any luck with kde 2-preALPHA on -current. I couldn't get it to recognize QT even after installing the QT snapshot, and ldconfig did wierd things. When I finally found the libs(via a reboot), I still got unresolved symbols. Any sucess stories, or the location of a binary distribu

Ok, more in the sound department: A current src/sys/dev/sound with a src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/dsp.c from the 22nd does not exhibit the high load problem. Moving dsp.c to the 24th causes the problem to re-appear. Thus, I'm prety convinced tha the big commit on the 23rd to dsp.c is the cause of at l

Ok, I have some *gasp* actual usefull info about this. Backing /src/sys/dev/sound up by 10 days via anoncvs makes the "feature" go away. That narrows it down to kernel issues. I'm in the process of narowing it down to the specific diff, but if I had to cast a bet, i'd go for the massive change

Hopefully I'm hiting the right thread here - This is in reply to the post about excessively high loads caused by xmms. I'm showing about 90% from xmms as well. However, I'm not sure it's real. I'm not seeing much, if any slowdown. Is top the tool I should be using to figure this out? Possible
