choppy video playback
I'm getting choppy video playback with both Ogle and mplayer on an AMD Athlon XP 2000 with 1GB of RAM. I am thinking it is possibly an X problem but can't imagine what is causing it. If anybody could offer some suggestions on how to start getting to the root of the problem I would appreciate it. Thanks.

poor cmpci sound quality
I have a HitPoint HCMI-5.1CH-OF which uses the cmpci chipset. I am not an audiophile type (64kbps vorbis sounds good to me) but the sound quality is particularly bad in that there is a lot of hissing in the background even though I'm listening at a nominal volume. I would be inclined to think it was a hardware problem if it weren't for the fact that the sound quality is fine under Linux. Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be? Are there any settings that might make a difference (I've tried muting all the other channels)? Thank.

I am guessing this might have something to do with the fact that DVD sound is encoded at 48KHz. Does this help? -- Campus sidewalks never exist as the straightest line between two points. -- M. M.

Yes, but it's cmpci that I'm having problems with. It's funny you should mention auvia because up until today I couldn't get it working at all, I had to disable the card just to get the machine to boot (I bought the cmpci card because of this). However, now that I have got it working (thanks to a number of people), the sound quality is fine playing both 48KHz and 41KHz audio. Ugh!

But that only gives a list of chipsets and doesn't actually tell you what cards use them which is the information I am looking for. I understand that idiotic vendors have a habit of randomly changing their chipsets so I don't expect this kind of information to be listed there. Only 1 other person has replied since I posted my request but luckily I found: http://www.arch.cam.ac.uk/~dir21/OpenBSD/sound.html I've since bought that card and although it works the sound quality is pretty poor, there is a lot of hissing which I don't get in Linux. On top of that mplayer is still unusably slow for playing DVDs (Athlon XP 2000+), this was also the case when I installed OpenBSD 3.8 on an AMD64 3200 last year. I have to note that this was a completely different system to the one I'm using now and yet it had the exact same problem, does nobody watch DVDs using OpenBSD or something? I will try again to find a solution to these problems on the mailing list but I don't hold up much hope given my experiences and will probably switch back.

sound card woes
Hi, I have a few questions regarding sound cards and OpenBSD, in particular the Dell Sound Blaster Live! I seem to have been lumped with. Is it really completely unsupported as this[1] post seems to indicate? If it's unsupported why does the kernel seem to think that it is? Bug? The card was actually bought as a replacement for my motherboards built-in card (auvea) which hasn't worked as long as i can remember and doesn't look like it's going to be fixed anytime soon[2]. Is anybody aware of any (basic) sound card I can buy and be reasonably confident it will work? Please CC any replies as I'm not subscribed. Thanks.

laptop external drive enclosures
I'm toying with the idea of ditching my desktop PC and getting a laptop to replace it. One of the main things holding me back is that I have a bunch of IDE and SATA drives that I'd like to use. Can anybody recommend any supported hardware to allow me to do this? I'm aware of those external USB enclosures but have no experience with them and would like to make sure that this stuff a) works and b) doesn't suck before purchasing. Laptop recommendations would also be good. I've already checked the list on the website but the more input the better. Thanks.
Strange Reboots
Hi, This morning my server started rebooting itself constantly for about 15 minutes. Although the last log seems to indicate that at least 1 crash occured, no core dumps are to be found in /var/crash and I couldn't find anything pertinent in the system logs.

disklabel and ext3 partitions on amd64
I'm currently running OpenBSD/i386 3.8 on an AMD64 machine and just went to install the latest AMD64 snapshot. The hard drive I'm installing to has a number of ext3 partitions contained in an extended partition. When I installed OpenBSD/i386 3.8 on this machine I issued the D command during the disklabel stage to start with a clean label and although all the BSD partitions were removed, all the ext3 partitions remained. When I tried the same with the amd64 snapshot, the ext3 partitions were not kept and the only thing remaining was the c partition. Obviously I didn't want to go ahead with the installation for fear of data loss so I would just like to know if this is normal, whether it's a change in behaviour between 3.8 and the snapshot or if it's an i386/amd64 thing. If it makes any difference, the label I reset when installing 3.8 was left over from a FreeBSD install. I've had a look through the latest disklabel man page and it says: Note that when a disk has no real BSD disklabel, the kernel creates a de- fault label so that the disk can be used. This default label will in- clude other partitions found on the disk if they are supported on your architecture. For example, on systems that support fdisk(8) partitions the default label will also include DOS and Linux partitions. I'm assuming this behaviour also applies to the D command, in which case does this mean that ext2/3 isn't supported on AMD64 machines? If I proceed with the install, will the ext3 partitions still be there afterwards (even if OpenBSD can't see them)? Thanks. Simon

Worse yet many browsers are actually dual purpose and function as the system file manager within the windowing environment (windows/MSIE, KDE/konqueror, gnome/?, and so on...). If you actually manage to successfully chroot all your browsers to prevent accidentally clicking on a bad link, you suddenly don't have a file manager and have lost a lot of usability.

I could say that *all* remote exploits are root exploits, but that sounds very sensationalist so I won't. Bareing in mind, that most remote browser exploits require you to be running windows as it is the windows / browser intergration which contains bugs. Not AFAIK.

The same keeps on happening from 3.1 so -current problably will not help. Your logic is flawed but regardless AFAIK the bug isn't fixed in -current. I would be grateful if anyone of you would be so kind to give me basic directions on how to know which devices, functions and flags to use in UKC according to dmesg from FreeBSD, FreeSBIE or Slack where VT82C686A and AC'97 works fine. Even unsupported devices shouldn't prevent the kernel from booting. Like I say, it's a bug.

Another thing I should have mentioned originally is that when I run startx and I get an error from my monitor or the black screen or whatever and I look at the process list from within an SSH session, X is nowhere to be found. This would seem to indicate why Ctrl+Alt+Del do nothing and thus the need to shutdown the machine.

OpenBSD 3.8 X.org on Sun Blade 100
Hi, I have a Sun Blade 100 and have just installed OpenBSD 3.8 on it and so far I'm very impressed. NetBSD, the supposed king of multi-platform, doesn't even support the keyboard! This is 5 year old hardware! Anyway, the problem I'm having is with X.org. Whenever I try and run it my monitor spits out an out of sync error and the only way (AFAIK to regain a usable console is to shutdown the machine and boot it up again. Depending on the settings I use I'll either get a sub-error bitching about the frequencies or about the resolution (it complains that it's 1280x1024, which it isn't). I've trawled the mailing list archives and tried all the suggestions (mainly setting reference_clock) to no avail and was hoping that somebody here who knows more about X and/or Sun hardware could offer some insight. I've uploaded my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log to http://16hz.net/~simon/SunBlade100/ in the hope that it will be of some use. If I've neglected to mention any pertinent information then please do say and I'll be happy to give it. Many thanks. Simon

procmail DROPPRIVS and relaydb
I'm using a spam blocking setup utilizing procmail, relaydb, spamd-setup and pf. The problem is that if I specify DROPPRIVS in my /etc/procmailrc: DROPPRIVS=yes :0fw | /usr/local/bin/spamc :0c * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes | /usr/local/bin/relaydb -b :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes in-x-spam :0c | /usr/local/bin/relaydb -w then relaydb seems to create a .relaydb for the user that the mail was delivered for so that when spamd-setup is called (which uses relaydb as one of its inputs) it doesn't find any of them because it's ran as root. Now obviously I could just get rid of DROPPRIVS but spamd doesn't seem to like this: Sep 8 11:07:37 bollo spamd[4493]: info: setuid to root succeeded Sep 8 11:07:37 bollo spamd[4493]: Still running as root: user not specified with -u, not found, or set to root. Fall back to nobody. and it's obviously not ideal from a security standpoint. So my question is does anybody have any solutions or suggestions on how to work around this? Many thanks.
