Re: ServeRAID 4M
Aside from the other comments, I'll add that aac(4) was disabled because it was buggy and Adaptec wouldn't provide documentation. Theo was quite clear about this at the time, see the 3.8 release notes. Ok, I remember about situation with Adaptec... But what with "isp" driver (from FreeBSD)?

Newer snaps throw kernel panic...
Hi all,
I've got a server that has been running fine with a bsd.mp kernel
from Apr 23. I took it up to -current on May 19th and it threw a panic on
boot. I booted from the old kernel and it was fine, so I cvsuped the
source and built -current again. Same thing.

via vt6103 vlan support
Hi All, I'm planning to purchase a bunch of VIA EPIA boards that come with onboard VIA VT6103 ethernet chips. I want to setup vlan(4) interfaces on this NIC and want to know if it works with obsd 3.9. I would love to hear any feedback from someone who is using these chips. I'm especially interested in knowing if the NIC has any VLAN MTU issues or if it's capable of using the default 1500 bytes on the vlan interfaces. The vlan(4) man page does not mention this chip. I googled, and grepped through /usr/src/sys, but could not arrive at a conclusion. Thanks in advance! - Raja

I solved this out by reading the documentation on the OpenBSD website concerning rebuilding OpenBSD from source: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Xbld First, I extracted XF4.tar.gz in /usr (like the OpenBSD FAQ suggests) and made a symbolic link in /usr/src similar to like you suggested (since this can't be bad). I then patched the source with the patch: Apply by doing: cd /usr/src/XF4 patch -p0 < 002_xorg.patch And then rebuild and install X: make build But instead of following the patch instructions to rebuild and install X which in my opinion just suck, I reread the FAQ from above and followed those instructions and everything worked out fine. * First I installed the "tcl" and "tk" packages. * Then, I followed this: # rm -rf /usr/Xbld # mkdir -p /usr/Xbld # cd /usr/Xbld # lndir ../XF4 [...lots of output...] # make build [...lots of output...] This is what the patch should have been including, not the really mistakable instructions, which suggest that the source is located in /usr/src/XF4 instead of /usr/XF4 (as described in the FAQ, which a user is probably going to follow) and that all that is required to build X is running "make build". I'm going to mistrust the instructions from the patches from now on. The FAQ is the most valuable source of information I have found so far. kind regards, Tobias Weisserth

It ran on FreeBSD using CARP and PF + their own Python app to orchestrate it all, but I'd be surprised if it wouldn't just work on OpenBSD. It's not available yet, but it will be published under an open source license "soon", according to Kostas Zorbadelos who gave the speech.

Re: xmms does not run smoothly
On Sun, 21 May 2006, Martin Toft wrote: Actually, I already use the option "read info on load", so I do not experience freezes when scrolling my playlist. However, the freezes appear frequently anyway, e.g. when xmms opens a dialog that reads directory information from the disk, and therefore still annoys me. I suspect "my version" of the problem is a bit different from what other people report, since the execution of heavy programs, such as Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, also disturbs xmms and causes short lags in the sound. I've been experiencing the exact same problem you describe. I've never looked for a solution though since I always took OpenBSD for a server operating system. I have a Linux box lying around for when I want to listen to music, play videos... Maybe the new kernel threads will make the problem go away, I have no idea. Regards, -- Antoine
