An FS question perhaps... non blocking I/O.

Hi, please redirect to the appropriate forum if appropriate. There is one thing i don't completely understand with non-blocking FS operation. Is there any way to guarantee (more or less strictly, see below) that when i issue a read() on a file (a real file coming from a UFS i mean) such read wi

Hmm. I guess this was added to -current; I don't actually run -current, just read the list :) poll(2) on my -stable system doesn't mention POLLEXTEND. I just checked, the poll(2) listed at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=poll&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=Fr eeBSD+4.0-current&format=h

Stuttering mtv with newpcm & es1370 card

1999-09-09 Thread Chris Piazza
Hi, Earlier today I was trying to watch a short mpeg and found out that it's impossible with newpcm. The sound (and picture) stutters constantly. It works with a kernel from August, 31 (oldpcm). Anyone else able to reproduce this or have any ideas? pcm0: irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci0 http:/

My make update isn't working anymore, and I can't figure out why. I know the recent stuff regarding Id->FreeBSD, and I've closely watched all the files that Doug talked about, and they're all the way he said they should be, but after I get done with the cvsup part of make update, and it looks to

Hi, I am trying NewPCM on -current with an AWE64. It works fine for normal sound apps like esd, splay etc etc.. but Quake 1 & 2 which use the DMA buffers to play their sound. It is allowed to do this (the ioctl is supported), but it stutters very badly. Its a bit hard to explain :) --- Daniel O'
