ARGH! Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 15:50:24 -0700 Message-ID: <6390.964219824@localhost> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG At first I was laboring under the assumption that this was an SMP-related problem and, while intensely irritating on my box "zippy", I figured it would at least only bite a small number of people and only in -current. Now I've switched over to a single-CPU box running RELENG_4 and this problem is, indeed, very much there. It's a really _bad_ problem given that the mouse goes absolutely nuts during these intervals and you *will* have bogus contents selected and pasted into your xterms at random intervals. Depending on what was cut and pasted, the results could be pretty nasty. I'm almost tempted to declare this a show-stopper for FreeBSD 4.1. Is anyone else even able to reproduce this? To really feel its effects under X, enable and use moused, otherwise you can still feel its effects even if you use the PS/2 mouse device directly. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
