Mouse and Keyboard response time not good in SXDE(Solaris Express developer edition)
Raman
I have installed SXDE on my HP Pavillion 2601 TU Laptop( dual core
1.46 GHZ, 1GB RAM, 160 HDD).
But I feel it very irritating working on it, because its mouse and
Keyboard stops responding( for about 2to 3- seconds) every 10-15
seconds. The same laptop gives no problem when running VISTA Or Fedora
code 7.
I tried changing some settings like Cursor blinking rate, repetition
delay etc. but of no use at all.
Please help me on this. Do I need to change some of setting for normal
working?
Thanks in Advance.
regards,
Raman Chalotra

It would be interesting to run intrstat(1M) across some of these
hangs and see if it's reporting any excessively high numbers.

I see this on my x86-64 fileserver with 2G RAM with zfs filesystems
using compression, but only during heavy I/O. What is happening on my
system is that, when I write to the disk as fast as possible, I end up
filling nearly 1G of RAM as cache, then the kernel has to compress the
data (since it's a compressed filesystem) and I can see the CPU go
nuts for a few seconds as it compresses then writes to disk. This is
due to ZFS compression running in a single thread (!!) but is
understandable for version 0.1 of a feature. I don't mind, since it's
a fileserver and I don't use it for desktop usage. And it only
happens during extremely heavy I/O anyway.
Is your laptop doing very heavy I/O when you see your slowdowns?

I don't notice any such pattern on my laptop.It happens periodically
irrespective of the load on the system ( even if no application is
running on the laptop).
However, I will try finding any such pattern of events, if any.

Please see the output from the intrstat command:

wpi#0 instance (last one ) seems to be the culprit. I tried unloading
driver for this device ( modunload) and problem seems rectified....
Could you please guide me how to fix the problem.
wpi is a wireless device ( bluetooth). At the time of system startup/
shutdown system reports "wpi_init() could not initialize this
device".
Thanks

That would be a bug, (almost certainly) in the wpi driver.
Can I suggest you raise a bug on it at opensolaris.org (or
through a contract if you have one)?
It would be good to followup here with the bugid when you
get it mailed back to you.
Looks like intrstat(1M)'s reporting is a bit dubious too),
200%?

Thanks for your help. I will surely raise this bug at opensolaris.org.
For the time being, I dont want to use this device on my laptop( in
SXDE)... Can u suggest me how to unload it from the startup load list
( I dont want to unload every time I boot my system).
Thanks a tonne,

Add following line to /etc/system:
exclude: drv/wpi
