Actually if you are not interested in sending anything to the device, you can just open /dev/ugen0.1 and read the touch values. I'll look at modifying the NetBSD uep(4) device driver later this week so that one can just open /dev/uep0 and read and write to it. That should make it useable to the linux/X driver I think. I'm just a little slow because of flu at the moment. :-/ John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@icomtek.csir.co.za / jhay@FreeBSD.org ##################### tstouch.c ###################### #include #include #include #include #include #include #include int main(int argc, char **argv) { unsigned char txb[4], rxb[100]; int fd, wrfd, ret, x, y; usb_device_descriptor_t usbdd; struct usb_ctl_request req; wrfd = open("/dev/ugen0", O_RDWR); if (wrfd == -1) { printf("Oops(1), could not open ugen0\n"); return 1; } ret = ioctl(wrfd, USB_GET_DEVICE_DESC, &usbdd); if (ret == -1) { printf("ioctl error\n"); return 1; } printf("idVendor 0x%X\n", UGETW(usbdd.idVendor)); printf("idProduct 0x%X\n", UGETW(usbdd.idProduct)); fd = open("/dev/ugen0.1", O_RDONLY); if (fd == -1) { printf("Oops(1), could not open ugen0.1\n"); return 1; } txb[0] = 0x0a; txb[1] = 0x01; txb[2] = 'A'; req.ucr_request.bmRequestType = UT_WRITE_VENDOR_DEVICE; req.ucr_request.bRequest = 0; USETW(req.ucr_request.wValue, 0); USETW(req.ucr_request.wIndex, 0); USETW(req.ucr_request.wLength, 3); req.ucr_data = txb; ret = ioctl(wrfd, USB_DO_REQUEST, &req); if (ret != 0) { printf("Oops ioctl returned %d\n", ret); return 1; } ret = read(fd, rxb, 3); if (ret != 3) { printf("Oops(3) only read %d bytes\n", ret); return 1; } printf("Check Active %2X %2X %c\n", rxb[0], rxb[1], rxb[2]); usleep(5000); txb[0] = 0x0a; txb[1] = 0x01; txb[2] = 'D'; req.ucr_request.bmRequestType = UT_WRITE_VENDOR_DEVICE; req.ucr_request.bRequest = 0; USETW(req.ucr_request.wValue, 0); USETW(req.ucr_request.wIndex, 0); USETW(req.ucr_request.wLength, 3); req.ucr_data = txb; ret = ioctl(wrfd, USB_DO_REQUEST, &req); if (ret != 0) { printf("Oops ioctl returned %d\n", ret); return 1; } ret = read(fd, rxb, 2); if (ret != 2) { printf("Oops(3) only read %d bytes\n", ret); return 1; } ret = read(fd, &rxb[2], rxb[1]); if (ret < 2) { printf("Oops(3) only read %d bytes\n", ret); return 1; } rxb[2 + rxb[1]] = '\0'; printf("Firmware %2X %2X %c %s\n", rxb[0], rxb[1], rxb[2], &rxb[3]); usleep(5000); txb[0] = 0x0a; txb[1] = 0x01; txb[2] = 'E'; req.ucr_request.bmRequestType = UT_WRITE_VENDOR_DEVICE; req.ucr_request.bRequest = 0; USETW(req.ucr_request.wValue, 0); USETW(req.ucr_request.wIndex, 0); USETW(req.ucr_request.wLength, 3); req.ucr_data = txb; ret = ioctl(wrfd, USB_DO_REQUEST, &req); if (ret != 0) { printf("Oops ioctl returned %d\n", ret); return 1; } ret = read(fd, rxb, 2); if (ret != 2) { printf("Oops(3) only read %d bytes\n", ret); return 1; } ret = read(fd, &rxb[2], rxb[1]); if (ret < 2) { printf("Oops(3) only read %d bytes\n", ret); return 1; } rxb[2 + rxb[1]] = '\0'; printf("Type %2X %2X %c %s\n", rxb[0], rxb[1], rxb[2], &rxb[3]); while(1) { ret = read(fd, rxb, 5); if (ret != 5) { printf("out of sync\n"); } if ((rxb[0] & 0xfe) != 0x80) { printf("out of sync, start %2X\n", rxb[0]); return 1; } x = rxb[2]; x |= rxb[1] << 7; y = rxb[4]; y |= rxb[3] << 7; printf("X %4d, Y %4d, %s\n", x, y, rxb[0] & 1 ?

We have a 7506 that is plugged into a 66MHz slot on a riser card that was very flakey until we turned the speed of the slot down to 33MHz. There's a tech note on 3ware's site about this (some riser cards are noisy enough to mess up the timing).

I'd be a bit suprised if something else worked well in that chassis. At quick look at the 1U version in my basement confirmed that view.

Any particular features you're looking for? Nope, just a chassis that keeps the Athlon's cool enough, and provides enough power ... As I mentioned, that chassis was what one supplier quoted me on, obviously in error :( ---- Marc G.

That aside ... I've been running an AX4B-533 motherboard for the longest time, but, in order to make use of an SATA drive I just bought, I figured I'd upgrade the motherboard instead of buying an interface card ... got the motherboard, transfer'd all my old components to the new one ... and boot hangs. First note ... I didn't have the SATA drive in yet, was still using the old IDE drives ... I can get to the BIOS, it recognizes my drives ... it gets to the boot blocks, where I can hit F1 to go to FreeBSD ... then it just sits there indefinitely ... I know that hitting F1 has done something, since the screen scrolls up a couple of lines, same as when it boots normally, but instead of getting that 'twirling -' that I would expect, nothing ... Has anyone had experience with the AX4SPE-UN board? Is there something semi-obvious I should be trying? Thanks ... ---- Marc G.

I am most concerned with support for the onboard GB Nic and the built-in RAID 1,0 controller that works with SATA and SCSI. Any information would be helpful. Thanks, -- Scott A. Gerhardt, P.Geo.
