+-------[ Jason Evans ]---------------------- | | > What are the 'new' corresponding structures and calls for simple_lock ? | | Mutexes should be used in places where simplelocks were used. With few | exceptions, sleep mutexes should be used (even though simplelocks were spin | locks). See mutex(9) for details. Be forewarned that there is work in | progress to clean up the mutex API that will probably be checked in within | a week. Transitioning from the current mutex API to the upcoming one will | be trivial, but it will have to be done if you convert to mutexes in the | next few days. I can wait a week to fix the code, I guess I should send it back to VA to see if they'll actually include it in the base XFree Release. Someone else is already working on a Glide3 port, so X would be looking pretty useful for Voodoo3 owners d8) Too bad I need those locks, the pulsar hack that comes with xscreensaver normally runs around 50fps (or 0.5 fps w/o drm) -- I get way over 200fps with all the locks disabled d8) Of course if I suspend it while its running the machine freezes... I can live with that for a while anwyay. -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| P:+61 7 3870 0066 | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | F:+61 7 3870 4477 | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
