As the screen saver accesses and uses syscons' internal structures and
facilities, its operation must be carefully coordinated with syscons.
Thus, putting the screen saver in a kthread will require major

Just FWIW, I think that moving the screen saver to userspace is an
excellent thing to do.

When I compiled/installed -current, and started setting things up again, I
noticed that gif devices now expect IPv6 prefix lengths of 128. Most
providers use 127, and some even use 64 as prefix lengths for tunnels. I
was just curious why the change was made to only support prefix lengths of
128.

Hi All,
For a while now (July 12 first noticed) I've been experiencing a
intermittent panic on a non-recursive lock. Whilst I can grab the panic,
savecore panics again writing it. It seems to occur only under heavy disk
io and hence a make install of XFree86 causes the condition (not alway

Hi,
I found that the attached small program behaves very strangely when

There is a bug in the Intel ACPI CA code which will cause your system to

posted a fix to the acpi-jp list (message 1186) for folks that want to
patch locally.
Intel have adopted the patch, and the next update will fix t

I'm curious what the long-term plan is for witness(4). For
example, it complains about BPF and device locks being reversed
when BPF takes the device out of promiscuous mode --
