I have been following the patch branch. For example: I initially downloaded the source tree with this command: Code:
# cd /usr # cvs -qd anoncvs@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs get -rOPENBSD_5_8 -P src After, when patches have come out, I have updated the source tree, by navigating to the working directory and just using the command to update: Code:
# cd /usr/src # cvs -q up -rOPENBSD_5_8 -Pd Isn't the above the correct procedures for following the patch branch? |

There was also glxinfo command, but neverthless glxgears suggests that acceleration for OpenGL programs is working, at least if OpenGL program uses GLX. As I said - Gnome on Gnu/Linux use EGL. Probably Gnome on OpenBSD also uses EGL.
Neverthless. I would suggest to put something like that in sysctl.conf Code:
$ grep aperture /etc/sysctl.conf machdep.allowaperture=2 # See xf86(4) Reboot. |

Why is it that if there are changes to the userland, it is not necessary to rebuild? Last edited by jjstorm; 22nd March 2016 at 11:41 AM. |

Did you ever solve your performance problem? Remember, post #1 way up top? I think it was only a day or so ago.

CVS will also inform you with one character status values when it finds a local modification with "M", a conflict with "C", a local file that is not in the repository with "?". The complete list of these can be found in the cvs(1) man page. The program will also inform you when a file is deleted, but much less cryptically, with "<file> is no longer in the repository." You will see this when you transition from 5.8-stable source to 5.9-stable source. At that time, all you'll need to do is an update with the OPENBSD_5_9 tag. Quote:
An OS kernel is the central program that operates the hardware and provides all programs with access to services, such as compute time and input/output. On OpenBSD, its the program that produces white text on blue background on architectures with color consoles. All of the other programs and utilities included with an OS are not part of the kernel. For OpenBSD, we name these "userland" because they run in user address space, not in the kernel's address space. We add a further class of programs, which are not built-in: packages. These are programs which are not part of OpenBSD per se, mainly from other open source projects, and the packages we install are built from the ports tree, which is merely a collection of build instructions and packaging information.

Massive Improvement
After reinstalling the entire system, and now running GENERIC.MP , I can report a massive performance improvement in Gnome. Web pages render quickly. Gnome is now very responsive to queries. Video no longer skips.
Not only is Gnome more responsive, but the entire system in general seems to be much quicker. Compiling the userland went much faster than it had previously. Sorry it took so long to respond, I had some difficulty getting gnome installed, but I was able to accomplish it. Last edited by jjstorm; 23rd March 2016 at 02:14 PM. |
