This is a pentium pro 200. More likely, there is a :> serious interrupt disablement latency somewhere in the kernel. : :What graphics card is this ? Is the blt done in HW when you move the :window or by the CPU over the PCI bus ? At the time the bug report was submitted, it was a matrox mystique running with the latest XFree86 (so probably some hardware blit). But it doesn't matter if the blit is done in software or not, frankly, because interrupts had better be enabled at the time the X server does a software blit (since it's a user mode process), and a hardware blit in the matrox shouldn't stall a pci write to the board for more then a few microseconds anyway before the pentium can unstall and take the serial interrupt. -Matt :-- :Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member :phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop." :"ttyv0" -- What UNIX calls a $20K state-of-the-art, 3D, hi-res color terminal : Matthew Dillon Engineering, BEST Internet Communications, Inc.
