I have been using my new box (1.33GHz Athelon) as a foot rest for the last two weeks because the heat sink I purchased with it wasn't up to the task. The much better heatsink that I wanted was on back order for a while. Basically using the new Athelons puts one in the realm of using cooling hardware that was previously only for overclockers (in the x86 PC arena anyways). Also, the Athelon has an exposed "core" (I use quotes because I don't know what it really is) on the top of the chip which is apparently very sensitive, so be very careful when installing it and the heatsink that goes on it. Since my new system is entirely unstable till I get my new heatsink, I have no input on compatability issues with FreeBSD. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randall Hopper" To: Cc: "bruno schwander" Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 21:36 Subject: Building a killer FreeBSD box > If you were building a killer FreeBSD multimedia box, what would you buy? > > With PC prices coming down so fast, I'm thinking now might be a good time. > I'd really like to hear from anyone that has a 1GHz+ Athelon box.

I am aware that the voxware drivers apparently have the mmap calls, but currently, they do not support the SB Live. If it is not at all possible for the sb live to have sound in quake3 , how would one go about setting up dual soundcards (i have a old yamaha xg-something) lying about. I also seem to be having the exact same problem with quake-gl (from the quakeforge port) I have tracked down several posts on this list, and newsgroups, but they are rather dated and am not sure how accurate they still are (a vast majority were for freebsd 3.x and quake1/2). I also ran across a post by luigi which said that the mmap calls weren't in 3.x , but he was unsure of 4.x/5.x , but this is also sadly dated. thanks in advance Adriaan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon May 7 17:29:49 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from wop21.wop.wtb.tue.nl (wop21.wop.wtb.tue.nl [131.155.56.216]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A76BF37B422 for ; Mon, 7 May 2001 17:29:46 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from karelj@wop21.wop.wtb.tue.nl) Received: (from karelj@localhost) by wop21.wop.wtb.tue.nl (8.11.3/8.11.3) id f480SAw95830; Tue, 8 May 2001 02:28:10 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from karelj) Date: Tue, 8 May 2001 02:28:05 +0200 From: "Karel J.

With my SB128 I had a sound lag of a second or so, but with my SB16ViBRA-X it was perfectly OK... until I cvsupped to 4.3-Stable, then the sound was gone in Quake3, demo version as well as the full version. Unreal Tournament still has sound though. I worked around by installing the OSS evaluation driver (from www.opensound.com) which works OK, except that it can crash your machine (happened one time until now during loading). I suspect the breakage in pcm has to do with the 'mega commit' for the sb16 driver during 4.2-Stable. When I have time, I'll try it out. > If it is not at all possible for the sb live to have sound in quake3 , how > would one go about setting up dual soundcards (i have a old yamaha > xg-something) > lying about. > Compile support for it in your kernel (or load the module) and make a second snd device, i.e. snd0 and snd1. I had the SB128 and the ViBRA for a long time together in my machine and it worked OK. But remember that you cannot have both Voxware and pcm at the same time. > I also seem to be having the exact same problem with quake-gl (from the > quakeforge port) > Didn't try that one... > I have tracked down several posts on this list, and newsgroups, but they > are rather dated and am not sure how accurate they still are (a vast majority > were for freebsd 3.x and quake1/2). > > I also ran across a post by luigi which said that the mmap calls weren't in > 3.x , but he was unsure of 4.x/5.x , but this is also sadly dated. > In 4.1/4.2 they apparently worked for me with the sb16, but at the moment they don't in Quake3 :-(. And I don't know about the sb live, sorry... Karel.

Upon arriving home, i recompiled my kernel WITHOUT the pcm driver, opting instead for using the kernel mod. Before running quake3, i just do 'kldload snd_emu10k1' and the sound works.. sort of. I have this bizarre occurence, where with every succesive sample. the sound becomes slightly 'unsynched' , just as the sound is totally unsynched, it jumps back to normal. I can illustrate this by moving up and down the menu, the sound produced by highlighting a menu option starts sounding right. then the menu sound starts getting shorter , being replaced by a garbage noise : ie , playing random bytes. (something like cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp) only shorter. the sample still plays for the same length, but is getting corrupted. OR the place the sample is stored in memory is moved slightly , OR the place where the sound driver starts playing the sample moves. The third option seems to me likely because i remember reading somehting about synching problems in dsp.c. I totally forgot to note wether the sound gets clipped from the front or the back. ie: ; ; ... or ; ;< ... regardless of which, the sound still returns to the normal state after the garbage totally replaces the sound for one occurence. On another note, i still have manages to get quake-gl running with sound.

O.k. the v0.6 release is up, which we've changed the install script to check for 'ed' and to mv any old libGL's detected out of the way to old.libGL and symlink in the new ones. To note that FreeBSD is now included in this release. Both the tdfx and mga are done. Although there seems to be some problems left with the mga driver regarding releasing of agp resources. If anyone would care to help out with FreeBSD support - please let us know. If you are using a tdfx board then please make sure your using the latest glide3 from http://dri.sourceforge.net/res.phtml. In the middle of this page are binary version of glide3 for linux-x86 for the Voodoo3 and Voodoo5, linux-alpha for the Voodoo3 and Voodoo5 and also FreeBSD-x86 for the Voodoo3. These files are libglide3.so, and they must reside in /usr/lib. For FreeBSD, once downloaded you should rename it to libglide3.so.13 and put it in /usr/lib. I'll update the html web pages soon for this, unless Frank beats me to it. Please post feedback as usual.
