Use extra buttons of Kensington Slimblade Trackball
Hi,
While I'm searching how to use the extra buttons in Kensington Slimblade
Trackball, I made a patch for myself based on the linux driver.
I confirmed it works as intended. However, I have no experience with the FreeBSD
kernel and I'm not sure that I modified it in a correct way. -- especially,
I don't know should I use usb_quirks?
Can somebody check the attached diff file so that I can send problem report?
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but this is only a half truth.. The firmware they don't release, despite what they want you to believe, is both interesting and should imho be open. Also the documentation they've released clearly has parts chopped out and when you actually try to do something useful it's missing important details. (My perspective is biased since by something useful I mean write an assembler or compute backend) I've had one awesome engineer at AMD trying to help us fill in some of those blanks, but if or when the public docs will be updated. Overall due to ATI hw missing ECC ram, demand paging and a few other hardware features I don't consider it a serious contender in HPC yet. Lastly, you'll see the real efficiency sucks and you can't get anywhere near the peak GFLOPS off those cards. Oh.. and most important to the land of FBSD is that the ATI drivers are still using the rather nasty TTM.. This is *not* very easily ported to FBSD, blocks compute capabilities and our early benchmarks show kicking it out has given nice performance increase in certain areas of graphics.

IO fluctuation
Hello, in the last few days I set up a freebsd box with 3 Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB drives (WD EARS series, but that shouldn't be the problem...) with ZFS on the drives. I'm experiencing really annoying fluctuations with the performance of the drives. Here is an example: http://www.stefreak.de/io-einbrueche.png (Downloading data through my ADSL) The problem occurs both locally (executing commands on the shell hangs randomly) and over the network, of course. So the problem can't be the networking stack or chip. I think I can exclude the ZFS implementation too, because I tried dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/null and executed killall -SIGINFO dd while it was copying and it looked like it stalled randomly too. Now I'm searching for the cause of the problem. Has anyone an idea?

Both, on small filesystem access and when copying big files. When I'm listening to music with VLC over NFS it stalls regularly. When I'm working on the shell the commands block randomly for a certain time. But I get that fluctuation on raw device access, too, look: # dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/zero bs=1M ^C0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 9.848682 secs (0 bytes/sec) # dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/zero bs=1M ^C1056+0 records in 1056+0 records out 1107296256 bytes transferred in 9.492375 secs (116651130 bytes/sec) So this is not a zfs problem. But I don't think it's the hardware, too - I used that mainboard before FreeBSD with no problems. And the WD EARS drives can't be the problem on raw device access, too, because I used bs=1M, that should be enough... This is really strange...

It _is_ the EARS: the hang is probably the drive spinning back up after it's turned itself off - it has really aggressive power management by default.

mountpoint not existent, droping to single user mode
Hello fellas, I have a 8.0 i386 vmware machine for the sake of testing the following behavior: What happened when a secondary hdd cannot be mounted at boot ? From experience I know the OS drops to single user mode, which I find incredibly stupid because a non-OS hdd should not stop the OS from booting up (imagine the hdd has a malfunction and then you get lucky enough to get a power surge - the OS won't come up because of a darn non-OS-important hdd). TEST scenario: 2 hdd's. The system is installed on the first one, and the second one has /mnt/2 as mountpoin. The 2nd disk was labeled and a new ufs partition was created. I added the corresponding fstab entries and then I deliberately removed the /mnt/2 folder. FYI: this secondary hdd has no data on it whatsoever. Then I rebooted and of course the system went in single user mode. And now my question: WHY (I know that rc finishes abnormally) The hdd has no relevant data on it, the OS has no files on it ... basically it does not get in the way of anything (except the perfect execution of the rc framework). Anyway, it seems to me that secondary hdd's mount failure should be ignored and an OS should be able to come up if one mountpoint does not exist or if an entry in fstab is wrong (again, I am talking about non-OS related hdd/mountpoints). To make things worst, I tested a RHEL5 and the system booted without any problems even if the secondary hdd's mp was missing. Can someone explain this weird? behavior ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Being the beginner on rc scripting that I am, I mistakenly believed the
rc subsystem was responsible for creating the pid-file. I understand now
that this is up to the daemon itself and in my case the location of the
pid-file is hardcoded to /tmp in the binary blob. Adjusting the pidfile
entry in the rc script to the pid-files true location solved the problem
and the daemon is no playing nicely with rc.

Yes, you can do that and it works like a charm:

for TIMEZONE in ZONE1 ZONE2 ZONE3 ...
do
env TZ=$TIMEZONE xclock
done
(replace ZONE1, ZONE2, ZONE3 with real time zones
from /usr/share/zoneinfo)
You could even set the xclock(s) nicely side by side by using
the -geometry flag as in:
env TZ=$TIMEZONE xclock -geometry ${WIDTH}x${HEIGHT}+${XOFF}+${YOFF}
I suggest to keep WIDTH, HEIGHT and YOFF constant, and
to increment XOFF by $WIDTH plus some small constant for
every new timezone (use 'expr' to do arithmetic). This way,
you get them all arrayed side by side.

ZFS jails
I am thinking about running zfs on the host for everything except booting the system. I plan to create a 1gb zfs area which I want to use for a jail directory tree. Is this possible? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
