Doh! Now that I'm no longer using the 8 month old version of schedgraph.py that was displaying interesting but useless graphs, perhaps I won't continue to appear as though I'm raving like such a lunatic about what is contained in my ktr captures. Here follows a re-examination of the previously pos

Frequent USB mouse disconnections under load with RELENG_7

2008-01-24 Thread Wayne Sierke
I'm getting a lot of USB mouse disconnects on RELENG_7. I wondered whether they might have been due to running with a KTR-enabled kernel but in just the last 7 hours I've been running on stock GENERIC and they're still happening. I get this set of messages for each disconnect: Jan 24 15:40:13 pre

In an attempt to obtain a ktrdump from one of these lengthy (1-2s) "freezes" I'm seeing when moving an active window running glxgears, I configured a kernel with a 512k ktr buffer size. I still couldn't catch any significant part of the event because of the high rate of context-switching with glxg
