Re: Signal 4 while compiling 4.1.1

2000-10-02 Thread Jeff Wyman

Small note, as I wasn't thinking this far back when I wrote this..

I tracked stable since 3.3-RELEASE on a K6-2 333 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and never
had such problems. Same good cooling - big fan/heatsink and conducting
grease.

Just a little side note, although enough info might have been given out
already...

I have a K6-2/500 system (actually a 550@6x83) running at 2.2v core. It
runs very fast and has tracked stable for a few months now, building about
every week or so. I decided as of 4.1.1-R to stop this wasting of time,
and built that. 4.1.1-R is built and has been running very stable for a
week now.

I can also agree with others that a good heatsink/fan combo and either
conducting grease or pads are a MUST with this chip. With a good amount of
grease on mine, it runs fine even without the fan, but I didn't like the
idea of this just to save a little bit more of my ear drums.

Re: mouse broken in X-4.0.1 (cvsup yesterday)

2000-09-28 Thread Jeff Wyman

I've had problems using /dev/sysmouse in conjunction with moused. It jerks
around uncontrollably unless I set the X device to /dev/cuaa0 and kill
moused. Then, the mouse freezes on startup. Clicking a few mouse buttons
seems to wake it up. 

This sure is fun!

Yes, but some people don't like to name their children "kernel" for
whatever reason.

Whoops, in the process of checking 159 new messages from -stable, I sent
this message too soon before seeing the MFC reply. I need to start
replying _afterwards_

It's ok to admit my mistakes... Right? :)

As for bad hardware, we've had reports of this behavior from users of
Pentium Pro and Pentium classic SMP systems. Not that it couldn't be a
problem though.
