Subject:   things I noticed w/ 4.0

Just wanted to share some things/small problems I've noticed on my box
w/ 4.0-CURRENT and find out if these were bugs or problems w/ my stuff.
4.0 has been working great for me otherwise.

I'm having sound problems w/ my AudioPCI card && pcm.  The first sound
played thru the card generally sounds alright, but subsequent sounds
have their beginnings clipped/chopped.  Short audio files sometimes
produce no audible output.

'cdcontrol stop' doesn't stop the cd.  'cdcontrol status' after a stop
command shows "Audio status = 18<paused>".  This doesn't seem to affect
playback w/ cdcontrol, but GUI cdplayers act confused sometimes.

Kernel option VESA fails (see dmesg below).  Is this a problem with my
graphics card?

Kernel option PNPBIOS causes the mouse to stop working.  A pointer is
visible at boot (w/ moused) until the mouse is moved, then it disappears
forever.  Maybe I'm misunderstanding what PNPBIOS does....

I've had 1 crash already.  I believe I was running 2 'rm -rf's and a find
on large directory trees at the same time.  Didn't get a dump
unfortunately.  Seem to remember this being a known problem w/ 3.x, is
this still the case w/ 4.0?

'halt -p' still doesn't turn my computer off :).  Haven't tested any other
functionality of apm though.  I usually disable apm in the bios since
it makes turning the system power off w/ the button on the case a problem
under FreeBSD.  Any ideas?

/usr/games/phantasia doesn't like the return key.  You have to use
<cntl>-<j> (w/ TERMs xterm and cons25).  /usr/games/teachgammon doesn't
always clear the screen of previous text completely.

None of these are showstoppers.  Just thought I should mention them.
dmesg and kernel config follow.
