Robert, First, thanks for all your dedicated work so far on the Xorg ports. I realize this upgrade has been somewhat fraught with unexpected issues. FWIW, things are not greener on the Linux side of the fence; many Ubuntu and Debian users have reported issues with the newer Xorg and in particular hald.

This is an ASUS Vintage AH-1, uniprocessor amd64 box w/ioapic enabled from devinfo -r (abbreviated): ohci0 17 ohci1 18 ohci2 19 ehci0 23 lspci -v jibes with devinfo -r -- the primary head got IRQ 18, the secondary IRQ 255. It appears msk0 is also sharing IRQ 18, though I haven't seen any problems with networking; mskc0, however, is then configured to use MSI (pseudo IRQ 256, 258), it is a PCI-e device. When the system starts, the drm module has not been loaded, so the Radeon (Sapphire X550) card hasn't been allocated its IRQ by FreeBSD. After X starts, glxinfo and glxgers work fine. kldstat reports drm.ko and radeon.ko got loaded by X as I would expect. I still see no IRQ allocated for the radeon, either in dmesg output or in devinfo -r, however, vmstat -i does show drm0 as sharing IRQ 18. At this point, I rebooted and tried manually resetting the BIOS ESCD table, unfortunately the BIOS on this machine won't let me tie IRQs down to particular devices. > Does the issue occur if you aren't using a usb mouse? > I see the USB problems regardless of the kind of USB devices plugged in, I continue to use a PS/2 mouse on the desktop as a workaround. I see the bump on devel/libpciaccess re typo of rombase, and forced a rebuild of xorg-server against the patched libpciaccess library (probably not needed, as the .so ABI didn't change). The USB problem is still present, unfortunately. thanks, BMShome | help
