I have pretty much exact same symptoms as in this post: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-January/039599.html Part of the problem here is that these "symptoms" are far too generic for diagnosis and have a variety of known and unknown causes. Some of the "known" causes include: * Overloading the system transiently (e.g. if your KDE launches 30 processes at once, the system is going to be a bit sluggish for a few seconds) * Running powerd, which has poor interaction with interrupt delivery on at least one user's system (might be an ACPI issue or hardware-specific). * Performing lots of I/O to a non-mpsafe filesystem like msdosfs. The other causes have so far resisted understanding. I have a little more insight into the problem, at least in my case. Short version: it is a KVM/mouse detection issue. I have one system that is experiencing a mouse problem, but as you said later in this thread it might be interrupt-related. The system in question is a 2xPIII-800 SMP system, running 7-STABLE from yesterday with the ULE scheduler. This happens to be my only 7-x box running X (so far), with a mouse that gets used. The mouse hesitates at the console and in X. It will move for a half second or so, then stop for just as long. If I monitor processes with top or vmstat, it shows that moving the mouse causes the system to use ~50% CPU in interrupts. In X, the result is the same regardless of whether I use sysmouse or psm0 directly. This system is hooked into a KVM. I found that if I booted with the system active on the KVM, the mouse worked fine. Also, while the mouse in a working state, the interrupts from the mouse never go above 3% CPU. If I boot with another system active on the KVM instead, the mouse reverts to being jerky and in a state where it generates abnormally high levels of interrupts and hesitats. The only difference in dmesg between the two boots is the model of the mouse as detected by the system: # grep psm0 dmesg.iffymouse psm0: irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: [ITHREAD] psm0: model VersaPad, device ID 0 # grep psm0 dmesg.goodmouse psm0: irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: [ITHREAD] psm0: model NetMouse/NetScroll Optical, device ID 0 Note that in both cases, the model is incorrect compared to the actual mouse.

I experienced some relief from this by switching my single-CPU system to use hyperthreading, and using an SMP kernel. On dual-core machines, it never seems to be a problem for me. Interesting. I have just source upgraded world and kernel to 7.0 (Actually 7-STABLE), and I am *not* seeing any jerky mouse issues - in fact the desktop experience is if anything better than in 6-STABLE. My system is SMP (2 CPUs, not dual core) - so SMP could be a factor. However I have yet to rebuild userland (X, Gnome etc) - so it will be interesting to see if that makes any difference.

GetTimeInMillis() is called inside GetPointerEvents() and timestamps the OS time on the event. Inside the same function, miPointerSetPosition() is called to re-paint the mouse on the screen.

I have pretty much exact same symptoms as in this post: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-January/039599.html Part of the problem here is that these "symptoms" are far too generic for diagnosis and have a variety of known and unknown causes. Some of the "known" causes include: * Overloading the system transiently (e.g. if your KDE launches 30 processes at once, the system is going to be a bit sluggish for a few seconds) * Running powerd, which has poor interaction with interrupt delivery on at least one user's system (might be an ACPI issue or hardware-specific). * Performing lots of I/O to a non-mpsafe filesystem like msdosfs. The other causes have so far resisted understanding.

I experienced some relief from this by switching my single-CPU system to use hyperthreading, and using an SMP kernel. On dual-core machines, it never seems to be a problem for me. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
