The UI seems to work |just peachy, but when it tries to go and play the mod file, it locks up. |A ktrace seems to show that it's writing a ton of data to /dev/sequencer. | | I've got no clue what it might be doing. If anyone with a GUS feels |like trying to figure out what's going on, my new port is at | |http://www.freebsd.org/~fenner/new-gmod.tar.gz When I ported 3.01 to use the latest AWE driver, I observed the same behavior. Port at: multiverse.com/~rhh/awedrv. As I recall, the old 2.0x port of gmod did the same thing. Didn't dig into it at the time, but I wonder if it's blocked writing the sequencer device. If so, I wonder if Linux does something different that supports attempts to avoid blocking. Randall
