Hi all, Using NetBSD as a Domain-0 kernel (haven't tried anything further yet), I have troubles with FPU-using applications. Well, at least I have strong clues about the FPU registers being trashed somehow. Yesterday, after a first successful boot of NetBSD/Xen, I noticed beeps and cracks coming out of my speakers. First I thought of an issue with auich(4) and maybe the interrupts, but beeps could happen only on one channel, so it wasn't likely to be such a problem. Then I noticed the problem only happens with Ogg files, I can play (with the same player) WAV and MP3 files just fine. I've just tried tremor (audio/tremor-tools), which is a fixed-point implementation of Ogg, and it plays my Ogg files just fine too. Only libogg uses the FPU. I probably won't have much time to work on this any further today, but I can try patches. -- Quentin Garnier - cube%cubidou.net@localhost - cube%NetBSD.org@localhost "When I find the controls, I'll go where I like, I'll know where I want to be, but maybe for now I'll stay right here on a silent sea."
