Re: neomagic and the needs-update entries
On Sat, Jul 12, 2008 at 8:09 PM, Charles Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Good afternoon! In xenocara/MODULES file a needs-update entry, eg by neomagic, can provoke errors, like PR pending/5836 [0]? The PR in short: On i386 ThinkPad 600X (NeoMagic 256ZX NM2360) doesn't work WindowMaker since 2008.04.10 (or before too, that was my first test after 4.3 RELEASE branch fork.) With 4.3 RELEASE works. The very odd thing: cwm, fvwm; and icewm from ports work. All application works, that I use. WindowMaker didn't change since 2007.09.15. After branch fork in xenocara/MODULES file the neomagic has been updated two times: on 2008.03.19 from 1.1.1 to 1.2.0 and on 2008.05.21 to 1.2.1. In xenocara/driver/xf86-video-neomagic/ directory remained 1.1.1. The needs-update appeared with 1.2.0. Are they not in sync? Is this rate major update? Are the needs-update entries like as public todo lists? the MODULES file tracks the revisions of the modules that are released by X.Org developpers. I mark a module as 'needs-update' whenever the most recently released version is newer than the one in Xenocara. So yes, it's more or less like a todo list. Not all updates are equal though. Many of the modules that stay in 'needs-update' for a long time do so because the upstream update doesn't bring anything to the xserver 1.4.x that we use in Xenocara. For instance, the changes in the neomagic driver that you saw are done to cope with features of the xserve 1.5 branch which is not used yet. I doubt they will help in your case. (I will try to have a look at it separatly in the next days). Other modules stay in this state just because we know the newer versions have some regressions that make them less useful than the current version in Xenocara. But this information is not explicited here. And finally many modules also stay un-updated just because of lack of interest/slacking on our side. -- Matthieu Herrb

I have a 4.3 Machine, which is the Firewall and Router for a Network with about 100 Machines. Every once in a while, i see the Traffic picking up consideribly when using bwm-ng to check. During normal Operation, i know the average Kilobytes per second is around 100kbps , but when bwm-ng shows me the traffic is going up 750kbps, and then i know something is up. Normally then i use something like pftop -s 1 -o rate , and then find out who is on top of the list. I wonder if anyone has a better way of finding Bandwidth Hogs. On an older FreeBSD System, i simply installed iftop, which quickly showed me my top Users. Similar to bwm-ng, but basically showing you per IP who is using how much Bandwidth. Ideally would be a way that not only shows me quickly who is using the most Bandwidth, but also, if they are using it for HTTP traffic, or simply downloading a large mail or having a Skype Conversation or else. Excellent would also be a way i can somehow graph all of that, so that even when i am not in the office, i can identify people who are doing things they shouldnt. I do have an RRD Graph for my main Interface, so i can say for example a few hours ago something made the Traffic pick up to 750kbps for 20 minutes, but i have no idea who it was. I once had all my protocols and IP's labeled, and used pfctl -s labels to parse them into my rrd files, but the whole process with collecting and graphing got quite slow. Also i tried darkstat, but its doesnt do a better job than current bwm-ng and pftop. Thanks for any suggestions, David
problems with Areca ARC-1200
I unfortunately don't have a full dmesg output to send everyone, but I'm hoping I can provide enough to figure out what is wrong. Today I was trying to install 4.3 from my official CDs, but got stopped once I found that the kernel could not see the drives attached to my ARC-1200. According to the card's BIOS, I have one fully initialized RAID 1 array between two drives -- the kernel boot prompt even lists 'hd0+*'. However, once the kernel (bsd.rd on amd64) boots, it sees the card, but never the drives. So, I get a line like this: arc0 at pci11 dev 14 function 0 *Areca* ARC-1200 rev B: apic 8 int 0 (irq 10) but I don't get anything more, like: arc0: 2 ports, 128MB SDRAM, firmware V1.44 2008-3-20 or _most_ importantly: sd0 at scsibus1 targ 0 lun 0: *Areca*, ARC-1200-VOL#00, R001 SCSI3 0/direct fixed sd0: 476837MB, 56514 cyl, 36 head, 480 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 976562176 sec total any thoughts?
