The following reply was made to PR kern/9935; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Cy Schubert - BCSC Open Systems Group <cys@wlc.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, cjohnson@neunacht.netgsi.com Cc: cschuber@uumail.gov.bc.ca, cy@uumail.gov.bc.ca Subject: Re: kern/9935: vmstat reprots bad AVM values Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 10:31:18 -0800 I have the same problem on a 3.1R system with an S3 card with 4MB of memory. What is strange is that another system with a Mach64 card with 4MB of memory does not exhibit this problem. I have a hunch that systems that exhibit this problem also may have a problem running Netscape and displaying it to a local Xserver, e.g. Netscape loops with signal 8, 14, gettimeofday(), loop again. I run the Xserver using xdm. If noone is logged in via xdm, the AVM looks "normal". If I log in using Xsession the problem exists. If I log by htting ctrl-f1 instead of enter on the xdm login screen the problem does not appear. My .xsession at work (this system doesn't exhibit the problem) issues exec $WINDOWMANAGER while (going from memory) I do something fancier at home (which has the problem). This angle might look promising and I will investigate it further. -- Regards, Phone: (250)387-8437 Cy Schubert Fax: (250)387-5766 Open Systems Group Internet: cschuber@uumail.gov.bc.ca ITSD Cy.Schubert@gems8.gov.bc.ca Government of BC To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
