Hi there I'm sending this to -hackers on behalf of a friend of mine who has just converted to FreeBSD 2.1R. His system is a P100 on a Asus P55TP4N with 32Mb, SC200 and ATI Mach64 VGA. He has all sorts of problems when using the internal serial ports of the Asus in combination with UUCP. It's really weird... :-( The uucp config files are identical to mine (I have a P55TP4XE). Symptoms: - when X was running -> console messages 'tty level buffer overflow' - without X -> errors logged by uucp 'uucp checksum failed' - he also tried ijppp and that seems to work OK... (???) No 'sio overflows'. He put a loopback connector on the sio port and wrote some little testprograms to see what happens. It seems everything is fine for some time and then he starts to loose each 85th byte (receive != transmit). The relation with X running seems to indicate some kind of a hardware conflict. Note that this is a brandnew ATI VGA, he needed the latest Xfree server to make it tick. I understand this is probably too little info to work on, but it is all I have now (got it on the phone, he is 80 miles away unfortunately). We're about out of (semi)bright ideas of things to check. Any insight what the h*ck is going one is more than welcome. >>>>>NOTE: because of this problem he is not currently subscribed to -hackers. So: please copy him on: revr@cadre.nl in all responses. Thanks, Wilko _ __________________________________________________________________________ | / o / / _ Wilko Bulte email: wilko@yedi.iaf.nl |/|/ / / /( (_) Private FreeBSD site - Arnhem - The Netherlands --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
