Subject: Re: i386/11575: sio.c silo overflows during X usage

I have found a workaround to this problem. I have a 3DImage975 AGP video
card, and I'm using the XFree86 3.3.3.1 SVGA X server which has acceleration
for this card. If I disable this acceleration, there are no sio.c silo
overflows in FreeBSD-3.1-STABLE.
Relevant kernel dmesgs and X server output when running with no acceleration:
vga0: <Trident model 9750 VGA-compatible display device> rev 0xf3 int a
irq 12 on pci1.1.0

so perhaps something in the acceleration code is causing silo overflows.
Perhaps it's because the use of the AGP bus locks out interrupts from
the UART? I haven't had any mouse problems, tho.
Thanks,
Warren
