After playing with the nvidia kernel driver from http://nvidia.netexplorer.org/ I noticed the following in the output of sysctl -a
(cutted a little bit because it was nearly 50 k) ----- SNIP ---- kern.devstat.generation: 1 kern.devstat.version: 4 kern.disks: ad0 kern.log_wakeups_per_second: 5 kern.msgbuf: 0 osMemCopyToUser 4 0x828de54 osMemCopyToUser 4 0x828de58 osMemCopyToUser 4 0x828de5c ----- SNIP ---- NV0: close osMemSet osMemSet NV: nv_release_resources kmem_free: ce634000 <6>pid 16140 (more), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) <118>Oct 14 14:02:34 shtaiga /boot/kernel/kernel: pid 16140 (more), uid 0: exite d on signal 11 (core dumped) Control! nv_ctl_ioctl: addy 0828eab0 cmd c0044602 NV_IOCTL_CARD_INFO nv_ctl_ioctl: addy bfbffa3c cmd c0044622 ----- SNIP ---- osMemSet osMemSet NV: nv_release_resources kmem_free: ce634000 <6>pid 18172 (tput), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) <118>Oct 14 19:27:01 shtaiga /boot/kernel/kernel: pid 18172 (tput), uid 0: exite d on signal 11 (core dumped) link_elf: symbol gd_curproc undefined kern.msgbuf_clear: 0 kern.nselcoll: 0 kern.drainwait: 300 kern.tty_nin: 344345 ---- and so on as you may suggest from the /boot/kernel/kernel lines this reproduces exactly the console (and /var/log/messages). After rebooting I explicitly tried to achieve the same result but was unlucky. the cause MIGHT be that I accidently ran a small program with the following typo in it while playing with this stuff test = sysctl(fd, VNIOCGSET, allocated); instead of test = ioctl(fd, VNIOCGSET, allocated); To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
