Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, I have a bizarre problem with my new computer: a Dell Inspiron 3700 laptop. I am posting to -hardware instead of -mobile because this problem is related to the RTC (statistical clock), and I need a larger audience :-) This is the problem: under some circumstances, the RTC does not generate interrupts (IRQ 8) after the system is started or rebooted. These circumstances are: 1. The system is rebooted, while being powered by AC or battery. 2. The system is turned off and on, while being powered by AC. And this is astonishing: when I turn the laptop off, disconnect it from AC, wait a couple of seconds, reconnect to AC, and turn it on again, the RTC _does_ work. I used "vmstat -i" to see when IRQ 8 is being generated by the RTC. However, in order to have a direct proof, I modified the rtcintr() handler in sys/i386/isa/clock.c for displaying a message every 128 interrupts (one second). Using this little trick I confirmed that "vmstat -i" is not lying. And there is another interesting fact: if I suspend the system when the RTC is not working, after resuming the RTC works! I suspect that the cause is that i8254_restore() is called from apm_default_resume() in sys/i386/apm/apm.c. I suspect a BIOS bug, but anyway I would love to have any explanation for this strange phenomenom. I am willing to try any modifications to sys/i386/isa/clock.c, but I do not know anything about i8254 programming, so I would be very very thankful for any idea or advice.

The relevant part of the kernel configuration file reads: #-------------------------------------------------------------------- # Parallel-Port Bus # controller ppbus0 controller ppbus1 # Supported interfaces: device lpt0 at ppbus0 #Parallel Printer device lpt1 at ppbus1 #Parallel Printer # ppc ISA-bus parallel port interfaces. # device ppc0 at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty irq 7 device ppc1 at isa? port "IO_LPT2" tty irq 5 device ppc2 at isa? port "IO_LPT3" tty irq 5 The FreeBSD indeed recognizes ppc0 and ppc1 devices and also lpt0 and lpt1 are properly made on the /dev directory. Furthermore, printing on the lpt1 printer works perfectly. However, printing on the lpt0 does not work as it should; the printer (old Fujitsu) prints a line and then waits for a couple seconds (approx. 4 seconds) and prints the next line (and so on). Indeed, the whole file is printed out, but this is not how I'd like it working -- i.e. in the same way as lpt1. What do I need to change? What am I doing wrong? I will greatly appreciated any/all help! Thanx in advance!

I have been using the epson 600 (800 series is good to go too) for graphics work on a freebsd server. Using ghostscript too. The printer was about $179 at Fry's about a year ago.

My 4100 worked with driver entry for the 600 or 800?, even letting me print out images in colour under Netscape. Ok, not the best quality, compared to optimized drivers under Windoze, but it was ok. The 4400 some shops could carry as a leftover, being not produced anymore.

But I have been doing some research and it doesn't seem to be supported that well. Correct me if I am wrong by submitting success stories. So, I also picked up a Sound Blaster 16 ISA base card. This one from what I have read have far more better support. I would like to hear real world experience about both cards success stories.

I suppose that profiling won't work, but... any more effects? Decomposition of time into user/nice/system/interrupt/idle components will be less accurate. Unfair processes will have an easier time implementing unfair scheduling. Resource usage statistics will be less accurate. Profiling will work but will be less accurate.

I am not worried about the consequences of a missing statclock, but, simply as a matter of curiosity: if the apm driver were modified to stop the statclock (or, perhaps, disable its interrupts) just before suspending, and restart it just after resuming the system... couldn't this solve the "broken statclock" problem? -- JMA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- José Mª Alcaide | mailto:jose@we.lc.ehu.es Universidad del País Vasco | mailto:jmas@FreeBSD.org Dpto. de Electricidad y Electrónica | http://www.we.lc.ehu.es/~jose Facultad de Ciencias - Campus de Lejona | Tel.: +34-946012479 48940 Lejona (Vizcaya) - SPAIN | Fax: +34-946013071 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Beware of Programmers who carry screwdrivers" -- Leonard Brandwein To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Wed Jan 26 16:53:17 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mtiwmhc10.worldnet.att.net (mtiwmhc10.worldnet.att.net [204.127.131.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 919B915442 for ; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 16:53:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from cmdrpc@att.net) Received: from webmail.worldnet.att.net ([135.145.254.82]) by mtiwmhc10.worldnet.att.net (InterMail v03.02.07.07 118-134) with SMTP id <20000127005302.PFEY12791@webmail.worldnet.att.net>; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 00:53:02 +0000 Received: from [128.190.9.43] by webmail.worldnet.att.net; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 00:53:01 +0000 From: cmdrpc@att.net To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Instillation of FreeBsd 3.x Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 00:53:01 +0000 X-Mailer: AT&T Message Center Version 1 (Oct 4 1999) X-Authenticated-Sender: cmdrpc@att.net Message-Id: <20000127005302.PFEY12791@webmail.worldnet.att.net> Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi Recently, I tried to upgrade my FreeBSD 3.0 system to a later version of 3.x FreeBSD.

I'd like to buy a couple of these and turn them into "tiny FreeBSD workstations". unfortunately, they use an ethernet controller that is not supported. It is the Davicom DM9102 (http://www.davicom8.com/lan/dm9102.htm). Fortunately it looks like this company is pretty open-source friendly, there is a datasheet that you can get right off the Web site, and there is even *source* for a Linux driver (also available on the web site).
