Here is what I got on the console, no error messages in /var/log/all. sysctl kern.eventtimer.timer2=i8254 kern.eventtimer.timer2: HPET1Starting kernel event timers: HPET _at_ 100Hz, i8254 _at_ 128Hz -> i8254 t_delta 16.01a20d312197c8b0 too long > then check 'vmstat -ia' to see whether irq0 interrupts are arriving, This also seems fine: interrupt total rate ??? 0 0 irq1: atkbd0 3448 1 stray irq1 0 0 irq0: attimer0 15756 6 stray irq0 0 0 irq3: 0 0 stray irq3 0 0 The total for irq0 is going up consistently. > then run 'systat -vm 1' to be absolutely sure. That also seemed fine. Here is a sample: 104 hpet0 uhci If I did nothing but stare at the screen the value was fairly consistently 100, with occasional values of 99 or 107. Once I started moving the mouse it jumped around a little, but stabilized again when I left the mouse alone. Should I continue using the HPET timer? Is it "better" in some way? Anything else I can do to help?
