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

 If that is the case, you probably want this:

This breakage was due to r215415 commit. Jung-uk Kim, any idea ?

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.

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

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

 I was a bit careless on my previous post (accidentally left you out),
 my apology.

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.

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)

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

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

 I can see it on the console where I started X, but I don't remember

 Anyway Xorg is still working after that.

 I think that it could be related to this message:

 even if I'm on i386
 

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

If that is the case, you probably want this:

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!

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.
