CMedia 8788 (Asus Xonar D2X)
Hi list, I'm wondering if anybody is working on support for the Asus Xonar D2X (a branded CMedia 8788). If not, then I was planning on having a look at the OSS driver from http://developer.opensound.com/sources/ (the page states that the sources are GPLv2 or CDDL 1, but I think it just hasn't been updated (there are source tarballs available in a bsd directory that includes a 2-clause BSD licence. Is there any reason that this would be a bad place to start? If so, can anybody suggest a better place? Thanks, Patsy

Question about .PATH.o in Makefiles
Hello list, I'm a little confused by the .PATH.o target in makefiles. For the record I'm running on a snapshot from the 29th of June (amd64). I have the following file structure: ./Makefile ./port.c ./cheese.c ./Makefile ./objects/ ./include/ ./include/port.h I have the following makefile: = .SUFFIXES: .o .c .h .INCLUDES: .h .PATH.h: include .PATH.o: objects OBJ_DIR=objects CFLAGS=-Iinclude happiness: cheese.o \ port.o gcc $(CFLAGS) -o happiness \ $(OBJ_DIR)/cheese.o \ $(OBJ_DIR)/port.o port.o: port.c port.h gcc -c $(CFLAGS) -o $(OBJ_DIR)/port.o port.c cheese.o: cheese.c port.h gcc -c $(CFLAGS) -o $(OBJ_DIR)/cheese.o cheese.c If I run make, I get the following output: gcc -c -Iinclude -o objects/cheese.o cheese.c gcc -c -Iinclude -o objects/port.o port.c gcc -Iinclude -o happiness objects/cheese.o objects/port.o which is fine, dandy and what I expect. If I run make again however, I get the same result. running make -d m indicates that it isn't finding port.o or cheese.o in the objects directory, it is only looking in the current directory. Prefixing port.o/cheese.o with $(OBJ_DIR) results in their targets not being found. Adding $(OBJ_DIR) as a prefix to all .o files seem a little verbose. I thought that specifying .PATH.o in the manner above would mean that make would interpret port.o as $(.PATH.o)/port.o whether it be a dependency or a target. I have read the man page (hence I know that .PATH.o exists) but I can't see why what I have shouldn't work. It seems obvious to me that I'm missing something, but I can't see what it is. Could somebody explain it to me, or suggest how I could patch the above makefile to make use of .PATH.o? Thanks, Patsy It appears to be able to find port.h (removing .PATH.h causes a non-existant error).

confusion over getrusage(2)
Hello list,
I have written a program and would like to trace its memory usage as it runs
and output the data to a file for easy logging/comparison/graphing.
getrusage(2) looks as though it would be appropriate for this. Unfortunately I
seem to be misunderstanding how it should be used, since I would not expect the
program below to output five 0's, yet it does on 4.8-release (i386) and a
slightly out of date 4.8-current (amd64).
Could somebody give me a hint as to where my misunderstanding lies or how else
I might track the memory usage of my program?
Many thanks,
Patsy
#include stdio.h
#include sys/time.h
#include sys/resource.h
int main()
{
struct rusage val;
int retval;
long buf[1];
retval = getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, val);
printf(retval = %d\n, retval);
printf(mem = %ld\n, val.ru_maxrss);
printf(mem = %ld\n, val.ru_ixrss);
printf(mem = %ld\n, val.ru_idrss);
printf(mem = %ld\n, val.ru_isrss);
return 0;

I searched the archive and found out that Xorg became a joke since Intel put some code in it. Too sad. Then I got the messages about symbol size mismatch. I've installed empathy but got some strange messages like Cannot execute the script ... (not a manual?) and empathy refused to start being unable to load some lib.so files. Now I replaced the ATI HD4350 with ATI X1650 and managed to get X working. Are there new things in snapshot which I don't know ? Should I wait for another compile of packages, to have a date close to the base compile time ? If X is so crappy, is there another thing to use ? Many thanks. I don't mean to brag, but my Radeon HD4350 works fine with X. Sending a dmesg to the list is never a bad idea if hardware is misbehaving. Are you using an xorg.conf? Incidentally, if you are using a snapshot then you should use the ports.tar.gz that comes with the snapshot, the packages that may be available won't necessarily work (they usually do, but it's not by design). There was a thread about it recently, I'm afraid I can't recall the title though. Patsy
Geomview man page woes
Hello list, Attached is my current port of geomview - it's functionally unchanged from the previous port. I'm having a slight problem with the man pages though. Geomview is adamant that their extension should be .Ngv (N == section). The man command doesn't find such files, however, if I rename them to .N all is well. Is there a precedent for dealing with this? It looks as though editing /etc/man.conf would work, but it seems...messy. I tried to look at the FreeBSD port, but FreeBSD seems quite happy with the .Ngv extension. It works on what was -current/amd64 about a week ago (and has been working consistently on -current/amd64's since my original submission. Any advice would be appreciated.

It doesn't even reach the Spam box, just doesn't show up at all even though a test with telnet says the mail was successfully sent out. I believe it's an issue with DNS records. If I recall correctly, you need to ask your ISP to change some DNS records. I don't recall what needs to be done, perhaps somebody else can clarify this. At the risk of sounding like an advertisement, dyndns.com's outbound mailhop service gives you an SMTP server you can send email from: it's the one I use and I've so far had no problems sending email.

Thanks for your time Hello, No it's not possible, your ISP would only send you information that was destined for the static IP address it assigned you. All data sent to the other IP's would go to their rightful destination (if the IP addresses are being used elsewhere) or they would be dropped by your ISP. Patsy
