Since then I've been told that FreeBSD has more or less native support for this Soundcard, only thing to remember is a "device pcm" in the kernelconfig. So I upgraded happily to 4.1, 4.1.1 and lately to 4.2Beta and 4.2-STABLE, sadly, it keeps coming with the same error message: pcm0: at device 9.0 on pci0 pcm0: unable to map register space device_probe_and_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6 I've been through the mailinglists, websites, and nothing seems to give any clue as to why this happens. This would lead someone to believe that the card doesn't work at all, but this machine multiboots and in Windows 9X it works just fine.

It's awfully quiet around here :) Hi, Have you looked in your system's BIOS setup utility for settings reguarding PNP operations? The most common culperate is "PNP OS Instaled". For FreeBSD to work, these options need to be set so the BIOS allocates resources insted of expecting the operating system to set the resources.

Feel free to send me questions. Install the XFree86-4 port and make sure it works (you may notice some graphics artifacts with some programs; don't worry too much about it). Then get DRI working with FreeBSD binaries such as the various OpenGL-based modules in xscreensaver (try running the module manually in a window if you get flicker). Instructions for DRI are here: http://wop21.wop.wtb.tue.nl/freebsd/hwaccel.html With the G450 I needed to use the mga_drv.o from Matrox as the stock mga_drv.o that comes with XF86 4 doesn't do the G450. The Matrox one is a Linux version but it interfaces with XF86 using _exactly_ the same ABI as a FreeBSD version would use so it works fine. This file can be found on the www.matrox.com web site and should be saved into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/. The G450 also has some headedness issues with X. When I boot, the BIOS and FreeBSD boot stuff is sent to the first output, as expected. But when X starts it then directs all signal to the _second_ output on the card, so I have to plug my monitor in to the second output. When I exit X or hit CTRL-ALT-F1 the output stays on the second output. If I want to see messages during a reboot I need to plug the monitor back in to the first output to watch the reboot and then move it again to the second output when X starts. However, if you have two monitors, one on each output, the boot messages will go to _both_ monitors until X starts and directs all signal to the second monitor. So right now I have a 14 inch monitor on the floor plugged in to the first output on the card, for the sole purpose of making boot messages visible on the second output where my real monitor is connected. Ugh. No luck with dual-headded X either although I've only made one attempt (X died on a signal 6). To get Linux binaries working, you need to have a Linux XF86-4 install in /compat/linux. The Linux install needs to match, version-wise, your FreeBSD install as closely as possible. Specificly, you need a Linux libGL.so from XF86-4 that will do DRI. The linux_glx port will NOT install the correct libGL.so; the version it installs may be able to do Utah-GLX style direct rendering with XF86-3, but it definately will not do DRI (which is a specific architechture for direct rendering, BTW) and it probably won't work with XF86-4 at all. Also, linux_mesa will not work either, as it is not intended for direct rendering at all. I recommend you extract libGL.so from the XF86-4 binary distribution file (Xbin.tgz) for Linux, directly from ftp.xfree86.org or one of its mirrors. With XF86-4 the libGL.so, in order to do direct rendering, must load card-specific drivers at runtime. It looks for that driver in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/, and I think it needs the _drv.o file in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ and I think also one or two files in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/. When running a Linux binary you need the Linux versions of all of the above, and they should be installed under the /compat/linux heirarchy. These files can all be found in the XF86-4 modules distribution file (Xmod.tgz). Once you have those in place, do `export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose` (I think this may be Matrox-specific) before starting your Linux OpenGL program. If it goes direct, great. If it goes indirect instead then scroll back and check for error messages. "libGL error: dlopen failed: ELF file OS ABI invalid" means you have a bad or missing file in the modules directory (if the file is missing, it may try to load the FreeBSD version from outside of the /compat/linux heirarchy, which will fail except maybe for _drv.o, which probably _should_ be the same file). The message "libGL error: MGA DRI driver expected DRM driver version 2.0.x but got version 1.0.0" usually means that your /modules/.ko kernel module does not match your modules/dri/.so (you shouldn't get this if you use stock XF86 4.0.1 files; I saw it using an X distribution from Debian Linux). If you still get indirect rendering instead of direct, check the permissions on /dev/dri/card0. That should probably be mode 666. Incorrect permissions there would break FreeBSD direct rendering as well, but it appears that the permissions can get spontaneously whacked if your system crashes, so this is probably the first thing you should check any time you have problems. Also, if you are using 4.1-R (and probably other versions as well) you will see in dmesg (and at the console and in /var/log/messages) messages about an ioctl not being implemented, and indirect rendering will be the result. You need to update your /sys/i386/linux/linux_ioctl.* with the files Stephen Hocking posted, with paths modified for the FreeBSD 4.x kernel source layout, along with the *drm.h from the XF86-4 source distribution. For simplicity just grab my tarball of the relevant files from here: http://sea-to-sky.net/~sreid/fbsdlinux_dri.tar.gz With these changes you MUST now load your linux.ko very early in the boot process, so set linux_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf and add the line linux_load="YES" to your /boot/loader.conf. I must mention though, all is not well with my system in DRI-land. OpenGL screensavers don't work properly: major flicker, as if there is no double buffering. They work fine in a window though. I think I've seen and fixed this before with Utah-GLX (it was caused by xscreensaver grabbing the wrong visual). If left running the screensaver eventually hangs the machine. My main 3D program, Q3A, is having major problems. From least to worst: - The graphics config screen is rather schizophrenic. Some of the settings (like the texture detail slider) don't seem to have the changes saved at all. Also, after making a change I get indirect rendering until I completely exit and restart quake. - With the "normal" graphics setting, my new config (G450/DRI) is lots slower than my old config (G200/Utah). It's okay at other settings (vertex lighting & low geometric detail), but the graphics seem jerky even when the on-screen FPS counter (/cg_drawfps 1) shows over 80 fps. It looks almost as if the position of the verticies is calculated with really low-precision math. This is most noticable when looking at the corner of two walls and sidestepping back and forth. After another look, I think this is texture-related. On q3dm7 (single-play, no bots) standing where the quad spawns and looking at the wall with the fire, sidesteping back and forth across the whole width of the room, it looks like different parts of the textures are jittering back and forth independently of each other. - The mouse control is barely playable. If I move my trackball too fast I hardly turn at all; a quick 180 is completely impossible. The overall responsiveness varies a lot. I needed to crank the mouse sensitivity setting up to over 12 or so which makes the control very jittery, although the "smooth mouse" option helps that a bit. - Q3 forgets my cdkey immediately after I enter it. This makes on-line play impossible.

This under the Misc section (2.5) of the Release notes for 4.2 of stuff that is supported. Crystal Semiconductor CS461x/462x/428x This is changed from the release notes for 4.1.1 where it says Most ISA audio codecs manufactured by Crystal Semiconductors, OPTi, Creative Labs, Avance, Yamaha and ENSONIQ.

Thanks, and yes, actually I've looked at it. Currently my Soundcard has gotten IRQ 10 fixed assigned, yet FreeBSD still claims that it cannot map register space.

This seems to be a general problem with the newpcm driver and AD1848's. I have had the same problem with the so-called "Compaq Business Audio" (essentially an on-board AD1848 chip) on my old Deskpro 450XE since 4.0-RELEASE. I went back to using the snd driver, assuming that it was just my old bogus Compaq hardware that couldn't cope, was no longer supported, or similar. This time around I took a quick look at the code for both drivers. My initial findings suggest that there is quite a difference between the two drivers in the way that timeouts are handled, and I think that this may be affecting newpcm's ability to handle older MSS cards/chips (it appears at first glance that the code in newpcm contains rather more draconian timeout values). I've also stumbled on one or two other differences between the drivers in the way the hardware is handled and I suspect something else may have been inadvertently broken during the port of the MSS code from snd to newpcm. PR to follow once I've had time to play with the driver code at home and isolate the exact nature of the problem. In the meantime I'd stick to using 'snd', personally. newpcm driver flags (I don't yet know whether these work for 'snd'): The flags for 'pcm' are essentially used for defining your sound card's secondary DMA channel. This should be set to 0 (or left out of the config line) if your card doesn't have one, or set to 0x10 + C to specify DMA channel C. There are other flags for newpcm, but the commentary in LINT strongly advises you not to play with them. ;) Kind regards Keith On Wed, Nov 22, 2000 at 07:06:33PM +0300, Dmitry Sivachenko wrote: > Hello! > > I use FreeBSD-4.2-BETA, and I have MSS sound card (ISA). > When I use these two lines in my kernel config file > > controller snd0 > device mss0 at isa? port 0x530 irq 9 drq 1 > > my sound card is detected as follows > > mss0 at port 0x530 irq 9 drq 1 on isa0 > snd0: > mss0: driver is using old-style compatability shims > > and works just fine. > > But when I am trying to use new pcm device by replacing the above lines > in kernel config file with this one: > > device pcm0 at isa? port? irq 9 drq 1 flags 0x00 > > my card is detected this way: > > pcm0: at port 0x530-0x537 irq 9 drq 1 flags 0x9100 on isa0 > > But it doesn't work!!! > When I am trying to play sound file with amp(1), I get these errors in > /var/log/messages: > > Nov 22 18:59:06 cavia /kernel: AD_WAIT_INIT FAILED 1000 0x80 > Nov 22 18:59:06 cavia /kernel: AD_WAIT_INIT FAILED 1000 0x80 > Nov 22 18:59:06 cavia /kernel: mss: Auto calibration timed out(1). > Nov 22 18:59:06 cavia /kernel: AD_WAIT_INIT FAILED 201 0x80 > Nov 22 18:59:06 cavia last message repeated 11 times > Nov 22 18:59:07 cavia /kernel: pcm0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead > > What's wrong? > > PS: I have no idea which value for 'flags' to use... > > Thank you in advance, > Dima. > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message -- Keith Jones E-Business Service Introduction, GBIT-E (Bristol) E: keith_jones@non.hp.com T: [+44 117] 312-7602 I don't speak for Hewlett-Packard.

This appears to be an artifact of the degree to which Utah-glx is 'tuned' for the Matrox card. Using a benchmark of a standard G400 with both XFree86 3.3.6 + Utah and XFree86 4.0.1 + DRI + AGP (preloading all the requisite modules), it's a sad fact that 4.0.1 is less than half the speed using all the various xlock/glclock/glracer type benchmarks.

Thanks for the help so far, but I have some issues concering the configuration. Hopefully together we can figure it out. I have searched through the archives (questions, hardware, multimedia) using ES1869 is my seach phrase and found some interesting stuff, but no concrete answers. I did some LINT reading and found something to add t the kernel config (options PNPBIOS), then I recompiled and rebooted. This time it got dectected, so it seems I'm getting closer to sloving this problem. Although I don't think it's fully working. When I try to cat ding.wav | /dev/dsp I get this message "/dev/dsp: Permission denied". Maybe I'm doing it wrong, I'm not sure. Also, after the addition of the "options PNPBIOS" line I got interesting output in dmesg. Here it is: (the rest could be supplied if needed) unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources sbc0: at port 0x220-0x22f,0x388-0x38b,0x330-0x331 irq 5 drq 1,3 on isa0 pcm0: on sbc0 esscontrol0: at port 0x268-0x26f on isa0 unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources I remember reading in the manpage for pcm that there are some "bridge drivers" which I really didn't understand. I guess the sbc0 would be the bridge driver. I'm not sure if I should add that to my kernel config file. After re-reading the pcm man page and the LINT kernel config file it would appear so, but maybe someone can clarify that for me. Also, what the heck are the unknown: devices that seem to be found? Should I worry about those messages? Here is the full kernel config file that has gotten me this far. I'm gonna do some more recompiling to see which options does the trick. # PRESARIO - kernel config file # Compaq Presario 5240 # machine i386 cpu I586_CPU ident PRESARIO maxusers 32 options MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 emulation options INET #InterNETworking options INET6 #IPv6 communications protocols options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem options FFS_ROOT #FFS usable as root device [keep this!] options SOFTUPDATES #Enable FFS soft updates support options MFS #Memory Filesystem options MD_ROOT #MD is a potential root device options NFS #Network Filesystem options NFS_ROOT #NFS usable as root device, NFS required options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 #ISO 9660 Filesystem options CD9660_ROOT #CD-ROM usable as root, CD9660 required options PROCFS #Process filesystem options COMPAT_43 #Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options SCSI_DELAY=15000 #Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options UCONSOLE #Allow users to grab the console options USERCONFIG #boot -c editor options VISUAL_USERCONFIG #visual boot -c editor options KTRACE #ktrace(1) support options SYSVSHM #SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG #SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM #SYSV-style semaphores options P1003_1B #Posix P1003_1B real-time extensions options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options ICMP_BANDLIM #Rate limit bad replies options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev # To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed #options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel #options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O device isa device eisa device pci # Floppy drives #device fdc0 at isa? port IO_FD1 irq 6 drq 2 #device fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 #device fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 # ATA and ATAPI devices device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14 device ata1 at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15 device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives options ATA_STATIC_ID #Static device numbering options ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA #Enable DMA on ATAPI devices # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse device atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1 device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12 device vga0 at isa? # splash screen/screen saver pseudo-device splash # syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console device sc0 at isa? flags 0x100 # Floating point support - do not disable. device npx0 at nexus? port IO_NPX irq 13 # Power management support (see LINT for more options) device apm0 # Advanced Power Management # Serial (COM) ports device sio0 at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4 device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3 # Parallel port device ppc0 at isa? irq 7 device ppbus # Parallel port bus (required) device lpt # Printer # PCI Ethernet NICs that use the common MII bus controller code. # NOTE: Be sure to keep the 'device miibus' line in order to use these NICs! device miibus # MII bus support device dc # DEC/Intel 21143 and various workalikes # Pseudo devices - the number indicates how many units to allocated. pseudo-device loop # Network loopback pseudo-device ether # Ethernet support pseudo-device sl 1 # Kernel SLIP pseudo-device ppp 1 # Kernel PPP pseudo-device tun # Packet tunnel. pseudo-device pty # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc) pseudo-device md # Memory "disks" pseudo-device gif 4 # IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling pseudo-device faith 1 # IPv6-to-IPv4 relaying (translation) # The `bpf' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter. # Be aware of the administrative consequences of enabling this! pseudo-device bpf #Berkeley packet filter # USB support device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) device ugen # Generic device uhid # "Human Interface Devices" device ukbd # Keyboard device ulpt # Printer device ums # Mouse device uscanner # Scanners # USB Ethernet, requires mii device aue # ADMtek USB ethernet device cue # CATC USB ethernet device kue # Kawasaki LSI USB ethernet # Soundcard Support options PNPBIOS device pcm Just for further information purposes, here is the output of a 'cat /dev/sndstat': FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Nov 28 2000 11:14:13 Installed devices: pcm0: at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:3 (1p/1r channels) I believe that's all the information I have thus far.

I have an s3 sonicvibes, and I really like it, especially when compared to the sound I get from my sb vibra16. Of course, I can actually GET sound from my vibra16 under freebsd, which is more than I can say for the SV. Since I know that Open- and Net-BSD have a driver ported, I was wondering what I would need to do to either encourage the porting of the driver, or to contribute what meager code skills I have to the project. Someone replying to my original post to -stable suggested that I might be able to shoehorn the existing driver into the template.c file found at people.freebsd.org/~cg/. It seems to me that there is more than meets the eye to that, or that perhaps there is an easier way. I did read the chips.txt file there, and noticed that cameron has docs for the SV card, but no card. If that is all he (or someone else?) is waiting for, I could part with it, at least for a while. On the other hand, if time is also an issue, as I mentioned above, if I can get a push in the right direction, I can probably work through it; though I would probably need a bit of handholding with regard to file locations and the like, I think the time investment in helping me might be less than the time investment in doing it yourself, plus the added benefit that in the future I might be able to help more (or reciprocate the handholding to somone else looking to port a driver....)

To see if it had actually worked, and that I wasn't deluding myself, I've downloaded and tried the Heretic II demo from lokigames and this works well, and looks very nice. It works in fullscreen mode whether you have X setup for multi-desktops or Xinerama; but doesn't actually span across onto the other monitor in Xinerama mode. This is using all FreeBSD XFree86 4 binaries/libraries/things, and the Matrox G400 drivers referred to above (to get the dual headed support), and also linux_base, linux_mesa installed, but no additional linux X based libraries and things.

To get the dual headed support you need to replace the mga_drv.o in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers with the one Geoff mentioned from the Matrox website which is there as a Linux driver. You'll need to roll your own XF86Config file then to get the dual headed part, because the configure stuff doesn't work detect the multihead properly. Following the instructions that Steve Reid posted to get the extra kernel modules http://wop21.wop.wtb.tue.nl/freebsd/hwaccel.html, it then worked for me from there I think. I say I think it works, because I'm perhaps a little apprehensive as I haven't got round to testing it with something that only works with hardware GL, as I'm having problem with quake3arena demo (the obvious test) for various other reasons. And having a fairly nippy workstation it's hard to discern if it's really working (for other things) but things do seem to look better than previously. If someone can recommend something other than the q3demo to test to see if it's really working then I'll give it a whirl later in the day when I have a moment.

Urgh. I guess it's time to eat lots of humble pie. :-( I get inbetween 50 and 90 which obviously isn't right, and on further investigation it looks like DRI isn't working properly. Having installed X again just to be on the safe side incase I missed something; my X servers not too happy now, so sorry folks for whats turned into a false alarm.

They work fine in a window though. I think I've Hmm, I don't have any flickering. But I have a G400 and didn't download anything from Matrox. I tried 3 Linux OpenGL programs: Quake3 demo version, Unreal Tournament (Loki version 4.36) and the Sin demo. In short: Quake3 works with some quirks, but UT and Sin fail. > - The graphics config screen is rather schizophrenic.

Once it's running it runs quite well, although I'm not very impressed with the performance; I didn't have the time yet to do some decent FPS tests, but it feels like Voodoo2-SLI (which is still in the machine next to the G400 :-). Hmmm, would be about time to get the G400 running in Windows to see what it is supposed to do but I always find the installation procedures so complicated ;-P (installing drivers in Windows is something like Russian Roulette to me). > - With the "normal" graphics setting, my new config (G450/DRI) is > lots slower than my old config (G200/Utah). It's okay at other settings I didn't succeed in getting the G400 running with Utah. It's resulting in a DMA timeout (posted to this list) and I didn't find out how to resolve that problem.

Since I don't have a cdkey (demo version) I couldn't check that. Concerning UT and Sin: UT either falls back to software rendering or "hangs", and Sin complained about some stuff that could not be found. I'll have to look more carefully into it to get something useful out of it. For now I'm just glad that at least Quake works more or less :-). Karel.
