After I returned from my vacation last week, I set about upgrading my systems to the latest -stable. The short version of the story is that I had to fall back to an earlier version, since the psm driver has been made essentially unusable. I saw a thread about psm-related panics but I didn't see those; rather I saw what appeared to be very serious loss of either characters or interrupts. I suspect the latter since "systat -vmstat" reported a tiny fraction of the number of interrupts that should have been generated by mouse movement (on the order of 5%). This was with a kernel and world as of 9/1. I dropped back to a kernel from 8/10 and all was well. I haven't had a chance to further narrow this down, but I just wanted to check whether this is a known problem...? -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/
