Re: System deadlock when using mksnap_ffs

2008-11-13 Thread Patrick Reich

I'll just chime in briefly.  I contacted Jeremy off the list
about this issue a few days ago.  I have one spare box i386
sitting here that I can happily test patches against; if I
can be of help, let me know.

 uname -a
FreeBSD localhost.localdomain 7.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #0:
Tue Nov 11 21:40:27 CST 2008
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC   i386

 ident /boot/kernel/kernel | grep sleepqueue
   $FreeBSD: src/sys/kern/subr_sleepqueue.c,v 1.39.2.5 2008/09/16
20:01:57 jhb Exp $

Suffers from the description given by Jeremy: the box is not deadlocked
during snapshot but I might as well walk away from it because I can't
use it.  I'd really like to see this get fixed; I rely on dump for
backups.

Regards,
Pat

Re: 6.2 nvidia x11 driver: weird 16bpp/24bpp colorspace damage

2007-01-15 Thread Patrick Reich

 Update: after some research I've determined natre of this color
 distortion. It seems like card interpretes each RGB8 value (24 bits, 8
 for each color component) as RBG4 (12 bits, 4 bits for each component,
 red-blue-green order).
 
 Thus, color which is 0xFF (red) looks like magenta onscreen (red =
 0xF, green = 0x0, blue = 0xF) and so on.
 
 Doesn't anyone have any problems with nvidia driver on 6.2-RELEASE?

Yes but my problem with the nvidia driver is because the
new version in ports no longer supports the card in my laptop
(GForce4 440 go).  X log says to use the old 96xx version of
the driver.

Wishful thinking: Too bad there isn't an nvidia-driver-legacy port.

 PS. Here's related thread on nvidia's forum:
