Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a desktop machine with an Asus A7V133 motherboard. It's based around the VIA KT133A chipset. I tend to have a lot more problems with USB devices (under FreeBSD) on these controllers than with, say, my Vaio laptop, which purports to be based on the Intel 440 BX chipset (with a PIIX4 USB controller). The latest outrage is that I am doing some work on a USB audio device driver to clean it up a bit. It works *perfectly* plugged into the Vaio, but when it's plugged into the Asus machine, I get a trap panic the instant I try and play anything. I can't diagnose the trap because the dump doesn't happen, for unknown reasons. I'm almost at the point of going out and getting a PCI USB controller card for the damn thing. Is it just me?
