(i'm using Luigi's) the problem from what i understand is that OSS dynamically requests large regeons of contiguous memory, after X is running memory is most likely quite fragmented and the request hangs wedging the system. way back when (a year ago) it seemed to only try to alloc the a buffer when the module was loaded, however it may have changed, either that or you are trying to load it after memory is way too fragmented. also having contig_malloc() a bit more robust would be a nice feature... there were some fixes to help contig_malloc specifically with OSS. -Alfred > > > Steven S. > 403forbidden.net > > "My Sister opened a computer store in Hawaii. > She sells C shells down by the seashore." > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
