SGI O2 R12 NetBSD5.1 - good but some problems



Hi there,

First post! Thanks to all the hackers who have worked on this port. I
just decided to randomly google on Saturday and found that some good
work had been committed for O2 acceleration and thought I'd give it a
go.

Installation was pretty effortless (TFTP boot + NFS install) and the
system is running fine.  There are one or two little problems which
perhaps I can help with if someone can help me.

I see the memory detection is already registered as a bug 36158: doesn't
detected total RAM. 768MB installed.

avail memory = 237 MB

Looks like Jared D. McNeill has some code for working around pmap with a
grandlarceny.patch I'm going to take a look at.

I have a PS/2 HP badged mouse w/scroll wheel which IRIX can use (pcmouse
type 4) but in the PROM the mouse pointer stays up in the top corner and
doesn't move.  Subsequently I think NetBSD doesn't see the mouse either.
Not sure, but I think I should see a wsmouse0 log in dmesg and currently
I don't.

Setting up wsmoused doesn't tell me anything and X says /dev/wsmouse is
busy.

Does someone with a working O2 + mouse confirm you get a wsmouse0 ? I'm
sourcing an original SGI part from a friend but will take some days to
arrange.

Like another user on this maillist I also received a couple of CPU Error
4's with the result of a complete lockup. They come in pairs. Two during
install, two copying some files over NFS. I suspected network activity,
but have managed to run for two days since then, and pull the whole of
netbsd CVS down without seeing this issue again.  I'm not running X at
this point.

I realise IP32 is well over 10 years old but thanks for keeping the
sgimips system alive.

PS if someone has a Xorg.conf can I please see it.
