Okay.  I just wanted to make sure there's no strangeness with intial 
value from BIOS.  Although I think I know why it happens, I am not 
sure how to fix it properly.  If I cannot come up with a better idea 
soon, I can commit your patch and restore the previous behaviour.

Caught it, changed it en loader.conf, rebooted and have had youtube

running more that 10 minutes with no ill affects.


Keep in mind that disabling mtrr is a temporary measure.


Hopefully this will be announced when the problem is fixed because I  
have NO idea what mtrr value is, haven't thought about it and at my  
age, I would prefer to keep it that way ;)

Thanks, Barbara.  I am on i386 also.  It sounds as though it could
very well be but I would expect others to be seeing something similar.
  The kernel that I am using was built and rebooted from yesterday's
sources with hopes that the problem would just "go away" same with
world and ports but no cigar.  It is still the same and I don't have
an old enough kernel to go back to so I guess I will just have to wait
until something changes.

Have a great day,



I'm running 9-current on amd64 and have experienced no problems with
flash using linux-opera, which is what I use to view flash content.
Otherwise I use linux-firefox with the flash plugin disabled.

Assuming you use firefox you could try
a) installing a flash blocker
b) installing NoScript, since it basically automatically blocks the
   execution of java scripts, etc., which might help
c) checking Tools->Add-Ons->Plugins to see whether you can disable flash
   (not sure about this, but it works with linux-firefox)

Thanks a bunch Gary.

That is great information.  I'm going to try that on my browsers.   
Flash can be a real pain in . . . . the neck.


I have it working now with Ariff's correction putting
machdep.disable_mtrrs=1
in loader.conf rebooting and all is now well.

have a great day all.

No problem.  I thank you for your help.  I just checked:
# sysctl machdep.disable_mtrrs
machdep.disable_mtrrs: 0

so it would seem that it is correct by default unless I am no
understanding which is very, very possible.

I have added it to loader.conf but haven't rebooted it but assume it
wouldn't change.

Thanks again for your help.

2011-01-12 Thread eculp

Quoting Barbara :





For a week or so, with up to date, current, ports, etc.  everytime I
open a page that has automatic flash video my mouse freezes and I have
to manually kill X and restart.  I had worked fine for many months.
Yesterday I rebuilt all linux emulation.  All ports are up to date as
of today.  I have no idea where to look.

Anyone else seen this or know where to look.

thanks,




From what I can see, on CURRENT most of the flash objects are triggering a

X

error.
I can see it on the console where I started X, but I don't remember it now.
I'll post il later.
Anyway Xorg is still working after that.

even if I'm on i386


Thanks, Barbara.  I am on i386 also.  It sounds as though it could  
very well be but I would expect others to be seeing something similar.  
 The kernel that I am using was built and rebooted from yesterday's  
sources with hopes that the problem would just "go away" same with  
world and ports but no cigar.  It is still the same and I don't have  
an old enough kernel to go back to so I guess I will just have to wait  
until something changes.


Have a great day,

ed

I solved the problems after a make world. Previous one has been done on Dec. 
26th.
I'll describe better you what I was seeing:
first I noticed that most flash objects were not working, and that when it was 
happening a crash in Xorg caused somehow by gdk-pixbuf2 were trapped.
Then I tried to rebuild graphics/gdk-pixbuf2 but the build was failing and as 
far as I can remember it was somehow related to endian.h. A required port, 
devel/gmake was failing too.
Then I tried to run portsnap and update the (few) outdated ports and there was 
an error rebuilding java/openjdk6.
No all the problem are gone away.

Summarizing it was similar, except that I'm on i386, to the one reported in 
the same discussion reported before, exactly here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2010-December/022021.html

So, from what I can understand, I think that what you are suggesting is not 
needed for me.
Do you think I am correct? What kind of problem should the setting for loader 
fix?
In any case, thanks!

Try disabling mtrr, machdep.disable_mtrrs=0 through /boot/loader.conf.

If that is the case, you probably want this:

I can see it on the console where I started X, but I don't remember it now.
I'll post il later.
Anyway Xorg is still working after that.
