Small Anoyances With Bsd 3.8 Beta 0 On Sl-3000

[plarusa]

1) If one exits X, the console keyboard becomes very slow to respond.

2) Suspending the machine outside of X turns off the screen, but leave the device powered on.

There's been discussion about this on the arm list. The thread is archived here:
http://archive.openbsd.nu/?ml=openbsd-arm&...&m=1221131&list

Quote from the last msg posted:

"The problem appears to be triggered by memory-mapping the framebuffer and accessing it. This means that both X11 and ztsscale( trigger it. Merely mmap()'ing the framebuffer doesn't trigger it, so something's probably going wrong in a page fault handler somewhere.

I've produced a minimalistic testcase from ztsscale code; see attachment. If I can't figure out what's going wrong myself I'll file a formal bug report about this.

2) Suspending the machine outside of X turns off the screen, but leave
the device powered on.

        How did you test this?  What is your OpenBSD version.

        On a my OpenBSD 3.8-beta[0], suspend works on X and the console.

I am using 3.8 beta[0]. It seems like the HD light is programmed to reflect the device on/off state, rather than the disk activity. Once in a while, when the device is suspended from the main console (no X), the screen turns off, but the HD light remains on. Once in that state, the only way to turn the disk activity light off is to hard reset the machine (remove the batt.. etc).

Good Day!

I am using 3.8 beta[0].

Details please, including dmesg.

It seems like the HD light is programmed to reflect the device on/off
state, rather than the disk activity.

No, HD light if for pcmcia bus controller activity.  Power led if for
device on/off and charging state.

Once in a while, when the device
is suspended from the main console (no X), the screen turns off, but the
HD light remains on. Once in that state, the only way to turn the disk
activity light off is to hard reset the machine (remove the batt.. etc).

That a hang then, what are the peripherals attached?  USB net adapters,
CF wifi?

I have a Hitachi 4G Microdrive attached to the pcmcia slot. I did not know that the drive LED reflected the pcmcia controller status. Anyway, on occasion suspending the device (apm -z) leaves the pcmcia controller active (green LED is still on while the screen is off). This does not occur often though.

You still did not provide a dmesg.

Anyways, if your external microdrive consists mostly of media files, try
mounting them read-only.
