X-Newsreader: trn 4.0-test69 (20 September 1998) Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org You guys have really outdone yourselves! I had had nothing but problems with the Linux RealPlayer 5 in earlier versions of FreeBSD (I'm using an AWE 64 with awedrv 0.4.2c). It's working beautifully under now under 3.0-CURRENT. (Side note: very pleasantly surprised to find awedrv already included in the source tree; no need to install/patch; excellent!). Only problem I ran into was trying to get the Real Video Player plugin working with the FreeBSD version of Netscape Communicator 4.07, so I decided to try the Linux version of Communicator 4.5 (I also wanted to get the 128-bit encryption). Worked on the first try. Simply amazing!

Are any ways to solve this problem? This *may* be reason enough for you to upgrade to FreeBSD 3.0. I had the same sort of problem under 2.2.7-STABLE with an AWE 64, Voxware (with the awedrv 0.4.2c patches), and RealPlayer for Linux. Upgrading to 3.0-CURRENT cured everything for me. Presto! Voila! I had *thought* that the latest mods to the Linux emulation code had been backed into -stable, but even as recently as a week ago or so (the last time I cvsup'ed and built -stable) the problem still existed. Emulation under 3.0, on the other hand, is damn near flawless, as far as I can tell (so far). Despite the warnings Re: 3.0's stability for a production environment, I've found it to be a solid performer, and I feel pretty safe with it (a lot safer than I did with earlier versions of -current, for sure). YMMV, of course. If you're leery of going the full 3.0 upgrade route, you might try upgrading to -stable and see if this helps. Perhaps this problem has been fixed by now. -- Conrad Sabatier Excellent day for putting Slinkies on an escalator.

Umm...it seems to be fixed in 3.0. :-) In fact, it was because I had heard that this particular problem had been resolved in 3.0 that I decided to upgrade.
