Hey, buddy! On 04/13/08 02:08 pm, Carl Gehr thus wrote : On Sun, 13 Apr 2008 11:10:06 -0400, Lewis G Rosenthal wrote: Chuck, I know that you have been successful with using OS2APIC.PSD. I am able to get ACPI 3.0.7 working for both CPU cores, as well as APM.ADD. What version(s) of ACPI did you test, and aside from the "hang during boot" issue I see with 3.0.8, what were your results? I am seeing random deadlock conditions, but I can't tell whether it's an ACPI issue, uniaud, GenMAC, or something triggered by Flash (using my patched 9.0.115 plugin). Well, I'm not Chuck... ;-) But I'll butt in a bit... :-) First, a question: What is APIC and why should I care? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Programmable_Interrupt_Controller for some specifics, but in general, APIC allows for the use of high IRQs and theoretically devices which might otherwise share lower IRQs get their own separate ones. This alleviates some of the CPU overhead caused by having to referee between shared IRQs. I tried using /APIC on my T60 and could never get past the boot-time freeze. Interesting. 3.0.7 works as I described; 3.0.8 hangs. Just for the record in this list, my ACPI settings and some 'Rem Notes' about what I tried and why are: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rem **CG** PSD=ACPI.PSD <==== Original; next from 1.2R on C: Rem **CG** Chgs for SMP made to V2.0 RC2: 09-Sep-2007 Rem **CG** Removed /NOD ==> Doc: This is now default...

What CPU do you have in the T60? I can run just about every function at this point with UniAud 1.9.2. This obviously excludes those functions that require newer Flash, PDF, etc., levels that are just not available for eCS. I'm open to adjustments if there is a benefit. But, I hate to mess with success. :-) OTOH, UniAud 1.9.3, including all of the special test files Paul provided, caused various problems. I sent the debug files to Paul and it sounds like he is doing some major surgery for the device type that we have in the T60/T61. Yes, indeed it does. And, since you brought it up, my 'Patched' reports: Shockwave Flash 9.0 r14 What/where did you get the more recent update? I patched the 7.0 r14 to report itself as 9.0.115. You may download my patched version from the eCS Technical file repository: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/eCS-Technical/files/ Can you play video at: http://www.masters.org/en_US/index.html that specifically states: "Flash version 9.0.115 is required for the Augusta Live video service." I'd really like to see what's there, but it either demands an update or just does not play. Nope. This one actually does utilize some of the newer functions in versions of Flash later than 7 (Steve Wendt tells me that Adobe introduced some major new functionality in 9.0 r115, in particular). In fact, the Masters site actually detects that my player is out of date, and I'm 99.9% sure I patched every version reporting string in the blasted dll... -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
