Logitech Dual Action USB

2011-04-04 Thread Stanley Lieber
From an old thread on misc@, circa Jun 17, 2008:

 Re: usb gamepads  
 So I ended up bying a Logitech Dual Action for $15 at a local store. 
 This is what shows up in dmesg: 
 
 uhidev2 at uhub1 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0 Logitech Logitech Dual 
 Action rev 1.10/3.00 addr 2 
 uhidev2: iclass 3/0 
 uhid0 at uhidev2: input=8, output=7, feature=5 
 
 All the buttons and analog sticks work okay.  I tried it with bzflag, 
 zsnes and generator (r3, the r2 package didn't work with it).  I was 
 also going to try xmame, but the compile bombed and I didn't spell 
 FLAVOR correctly anyway (used the british spelling... oops). 
 
 Well anyway it's a nice piece of hardware for the price!

Does anyone still have one of these working? Recent snapshots produce
only this in dmesg:

uhub1: port 1, set config at addr 2 failed
uhub1: device problem, disabling port 1

On a different system, the controller is at least recognized:

uhidev1 at uhub2 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 Logitech Logitech 
Dual Action rev 1.10/3.00 addr 2
uhidev1: iclass 3/0
uhid21 at uhidev1: input=8, output=7, feature=5

but does not work in bzflag or pcsx.

Re: qemu-old .. relevent or not?

2011-03-21 Thread Stanley Lieber
 I've gotten one request to decommission qemu-old.  It surprised me,
 as I thought there were still issues with qemu/ even with the semi recent
 thread fix as well as performance differences.
 
 Does anybody have objection to retiring qemu-old to the attic or ?
 
 I'd rather not do this prematurely but if the time has come, this is the
 right time of release cycle to do it.

I'm probably less educated about the functionality of newer qemu than I
should be, but I still use the old version from ports (along with kqemu) to host
Plan 9 on various systems. My understanding is that moving to the newer
version(s) of qemu would introduce a performance hit, since kqemu is deprecated
and whatever newer, fancier kernel integration has been introduced is not yet
supported on OpenBSD.

Is this wildly off-base?

 KQEMU is an unsupported piece of code that no one has ever maintained,
 doesn't work on MP kernels and has issues even on SP kernels. It's not
 deprecated. It is plain dead, period. No one cared to actually fix it when
 the QEMU developers asked on their list for the OS's that actually
 used it (*BSD, Solaris) and later some of its design limitations prevented
 further progress so support was removed all together.

 Taking that out of the picture and doing an apples to apples comparison can
 you find any real issues between the versions of QEMU that have a real
 effect on your Plan 9 images?

No experimental evidence, yet, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
Subjectively,
the old qemu feels quite a bit slower without kqemu.

I'll do some testing.
