Sorry if this is inappropriate for -CURRENT but I am mailing here

Is the Creative Labs Soundblaster Live supported under FreeBSD-CURRENT ?
This is a PCI card with 3D surround sound (4 speakers).
Under Windows it has a soundblaster emulation mode where it emulates
a Sound Blaster 16 but the PCI card normally uses a single interrupt
and a single I/O port.

There are certain RealTek chipsets that perform very badly in both Windows
and FreeBSD in my experience. This is due to poor hardware design as far
as the FreeBSD driver author could see.
Replace your network card with a $30 PCI 10/100 card that is not a RealTek

I've found that I need to disable my secondary IDE controller with

It's probably something to do with Ultra DMA support as I have an Ultra DMA

There is obviously a problem when all swap is exhausted.
The only solution is to allow the additional memory *use* to succeed AND
to warn the sysadmin that ALL virtual memory has been exhausted.
The only way to do this is to be able to allocate extra virtual memory.

You'd have to be able to specify the absolute maximum memory use for

Whilst downloading a large file I was able to cause multiple sio

This problem is easily reproducible.
However to do so, you need a ROM image for an arcade game that the

My usermode ppp works fine normally as I can quite happily download

As far as I can tell, this is unrelated to newbus as the same actions
would trigger this problem before and after newbus.
I have been seeing this problem for many months (maybe years - but I've
only recently identified a set of actions to reproduce it every time).
The wierd thing is that I can do
*** STOP PRESS *** I have just confirmed that restarting the X server
is enough to fix the problem. So my apologies to Bruce, -CURRENT
and the whole FreeBSD community in general for blaming sio.
For the benefit of David Dawes, I'll quickly restate the problem:

Moused and XFree86 3.3.3.1 dont support a particular new type of
mouse.
This is the PS/2 Intellimouse clone. (I'm note sure if 'real'
MicroSoft Intellimice work ??).
My mouse is such a clone and behaves the same as you are saying but
works fine under Windows 95 with the PS/2 mouse driver.

And for me its not recent, its been happening ever since the aha
driver was finally converted to CAM I think (3 or 4 months I guess).
I am using a 1542B with an old Wren drive and some other drive.

I have confirmed that the problem occurs if I just do:
xsetpointer Joystick
sleep 1
xsetpointer pointer
So M.A.M.E. is unrelated to the problem as Bruce Evans would suggest.
So the problem appears to be with XFree86 not closing the joystick
device after I've used it as a pointer with 'xset
The problem is that recent versions of MS-DOS (version 7 and above ?
...definitely the DOS that comes with Windows 98 and I think the DOS
with Windows 95 under some circumstances) change various vectors which
destroy FBSDBOOTs ability to work (this is because there is no way to
