OK, please try this, then; change the HARVEST_RING_SIZE in sys/dev/random/yarrow.h to a smaller power-of-2 (256 or 128 would be good), and let me know how that helps-or-not. Thanks! M > If it helps at all, it's marginal. I still get skips. > > On Sat, Jan 20, 2001 at 05:36:08PM +0200, Mark Mu

If it helps at all, it's marginal. I still get skips. On Sat, Jan 20, 2001 at 05:36:08PM +0200, Mark Murray wrote: > > This is directly traceable to entropy harvesting by /dev/*random. > > I know it's not an option if you need to use ssh, but not loading > > random.ko will fix the sound problems

This is directly traceable to entropy harvesting by /dev/*random. I know it's not an option if you need to use ssh, but not loading random.ko will fix the sound problems when moving the mouse or typing. It doesn't fix the 'hwptr went backwards' messages, though. On Fri, Jan 19, 2001 at 11:42:32P

What is the current status of the pcm driver? I ask this because I am able to hear sticking and slowdowns in sound when I move my PS/2 mouse. pcm0: at io 0xe800 irq 11 (4p/3r channels duplex) I did not have this behavior in -STABLE, but now I do since I upgraded to -CURRENT. FreeB
