Any chances any of you upgraded Xorg/glib2 this weekend? I did on Sunday, and got some soft-locks similar to these ones. In my case, only part of the applications would freeze. Interestingly, only xmms and gkrellm kept running, and I could ssh to the machine---nothing unusual on top(1). In the X console, the mouse would move, but don't do anything useful. The keyboard sometimes didn't worked, but whenever NumLock worked, then I'd be able to vtswitch to some vt and ^C the whole X server. The only worth message was from nvidia module (sometimes more than once), some random time before soft-locking up. If it helps, I heard a slightly different pc-speaker beep (short), which eventually led me to vt-switch and discover this message: kernel: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 100.14.19, but kernel: NVRM: this kernel module has the version 100.14.11. Please kernel: NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver kernel: NVRM: components have the same version. I'm on 6.1-RELEASE, most ports are up-to-date, and now using the nv driver because nvidia module is getting a _sleep unresolved symbol.

Re: snd_emu10k1 driver
On Wed, 27 Sep 2006 04:55:04 -0700 "Bill Blue" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is this driver known to be 100% working? For me, it works OK most of the time. Longer audio files (ogg/mp3) usually play without issues, and under rarely and not-understood circumstances some sort of slight audio distortion (like static in a radio) appears, but it's just a matter of pausing-unpausing xmms to recover. For shorter audio samples (lots of different types of wave files) that I use as notification (IM messages and other events I like to be notified) it's another story: not so rarely the audio is distorted, and the distortion is not always the same. Some distortions I can name are: pitch, volume, clipping and truncating. These are always played with sox (sox-12.18.2). This happens both with emu10k1 and emu10kx1 (from ports), but I found that with standard emu10k1 it happens less often for the music (which usually is playing as long as my machine is on).
