Re: How to switch scheduler on 7.0?
Hi Robert, The expression "terrible performances" was maybe not the best way to express myself. My intentions were not to step on anyone's toe or being nasty. Sorry about that. To describe things shortly, the problem is responsiveness. I have been running FreeBSD since 4.7 and never experienced what I am experiencing now: - Bad responsiveness of the desktop - Temporary freeze (10 to 30s) - Slow mouse (and not a very smooth movement, a kind of 'step by step') etc. Daniel > > > I would like to switch scheduler on my FreeBSD 7.0 box but I don't > > > know how todo that. > > > > You will want to use options SCHED_ULE instead of SCHED_4BSD in your > > kernel config. > > Am I correct in remembering SCHED_ULE /is/ the default for 7.0+? > If this is true, and you (the OP) do not need the machine for > production, there are people who would be interested in hearing > about your problems - especially if you are prepared to define (and > document) "terrible performace" and help diagnosing the issue. > > > Robert Huff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: How to switch scheduler on 7.0?
Hi! Thank you for your answer. So, I need to recompile the kernel. Fine! At first I thought there might be a switch somewhere, to do the conversion "The soft way", but OK, I'll rebuild the kernel.

How to check applications vs. libraries
Hello, I am used to install FreeBSD applications by using the port collection. I also update regularly (twice a month or something) the apps, using 'portupgrade -a -N' on a refreshed port collection. Here are my questions: - How can I check that the apps that have been build with certain libraries still work when some of the libs have been updated? - Is it possible then to rebuild the selected set of apps that have been 'corrupted' by the library upgrade (classicaly from liba.1 to liba.2)? If yes, how? or in other words, is there an equivalent to the Gentoo Linux 'revdep-rebuild' function?

Is there any native Java3d for FreeBSD6.x?
Hello, I need Java3d on my FreeBSD 6.2 box. When I try to build the java3d port, I end up with some Linux binary support (FedoraCore) and a Java3D based on some Linux binary. I have sun-jdk-1.5 native on my system. It's not that I hate Linux (I am a very satisfied owner of a few Gentoo boxes), it's just that I want my FreeBSD box to remain as simple as possible and as native as possible... So here are my questions: - Is there any native Java3D package for FreeBSD, if yes, where can I find the Makefile? - If no native package are planned, is it easy to build Java3D on my FreeBSD box without being forced to have some Linux support?

FreeBSD and GNUstep + etoile
First of all, let me apologize for the previous emails I sent about this combination on this forum. I was using a webmail and somehow my messages got truncated. That was kind of frustrating. This being said, here is how I succeeded to get FreeBSD + GNUstep + etoile working: First I compiled the necessary packages: cd /usr/ports/x11/gnustep-app make install make distclean This might take quiet a while... ;) Then I added in /etc/csh.cshrc the line: source /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.csh and in /etc/profile the line: . /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh then in ~/.xession: opentool etoile_system There was a little hack that I had to do (this should be corrected soon though), I had to extract from etoile_0+20060917+dfsg.orig.tar.gz the setup.sh script and run it by hand. This script basically creates links where they are needed... And then voila! startx or just login from xdm, you will get etoile working on a GNUstep based system... My first impressions about it: - It's a 0.1 and it shows. However this is very promising - Emacs 23 did not work for me - The GNUstep look and feel is still very present. I did not succeed to change the theme with Camaelon (I did not try hard though...)

FreeBSD 6.2, rebuild. NO-MMX, NO-SSE?
Hello, Yesterday I rebuit FreeBSD 6.2 using CPUTYPE=pentium4 and the classic procedure described in the manual. The machine (Inspiron 9400) is fast but I saw at certain moments something like "NO-MMX, NO-SSE" (some flags or variables) during the compilation process. I thought then "How come? What a pity not to use these instructions". Can someone tell me what it was and if it is really supposed to be like this? My roots are in Gentoo Linux where it is possible to get the maximum out of a processor when building a system from scratch by using properly certain C and C++ flags.

FreeBSD 6.2, rebuild the system with CPUTYPE=prescott?
Hello, Let me present myself: - I am an advanced user of Gentoo Linux. I know quiet a lot about that system and about how to optimize it to fit the hardware the best possible way. - I am a casual FreeBSD user. I like it a lot though, it is lean and very well structured. I am the happy own of a Dell Inspiron 9400 with a Dual Core processor in it (note, not a Dual Core 2). http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags gives some information about this processor and about the parameter to give to gcc to obtain the best out of it: Intel Core Solo/Duo (Yonah) vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 14 model name : Genuine Intel(R) CPU [Model] @ XXXGHz (the above info is from a T2400, other models may have different cpu families and model numbers) CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" This is a 32bit chip Note: It has been confirmed by [EMAIL PROTECTED] that prescott is the correct microarchitecture to use with this CPU. So now, I am trying to rebuild my FreeBSD 6.2 system playing a bit with the parameters in the make.conf file (see /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf) to get the best out of my machine (double processor, MMX, SSE[1-3] and co...) #CPUTYPE?=pentium3 #NO_CPU_CFLAGS= # Don't add -march= to CFLAGS automatically #NO_CPU_COPTFLAGS= # Don't add -march= to COPTFLAGS automatically So far, the only thing I did was to set CPUTYPE to pentium4 but I am pretty sure, it can be done in a better way. The question being 'how?' So, can anyone guide me?
