Hi,
I currenty try using vmware on -current (from begin of this week). I
managed to setup a NT 4 client.
While this same client (config file and image file) works fine on
Linux, on NetBSD there is a small quirk (but very annoying).
About every 3 seconds the vmware machine freezes for about 3
seconds.
While this happens one of the vmware processes is in a function
"xscmd".
Here's the ps axl line:
0 363 360 0 -6 -19 3092 1992 xscmd D<L ?? 0:00.13
/emul/linux/usr/local/bin/vmware -q notesnt/vm-nt.cfg
I cannot find this xscmd function, a nm /netbsd | grep xscmd reveils
nothing.
Is there some other place where ps gets these names?
regards,
chris
PS: I almost forgot. If someone knows how to get rid of this freeze,
please tell me.
