Description Max Loparev 2004-07-24 04:50:11 UTC

It is common on every modern even uniprocessor system to have apic support compiled in, so i propose to add:
IUSE="apic"
inherits flag-o-matic
and use apic && append-flags -DHI_INTS to src_compile 

I haven't alpha system, and can't test on it, but in README had said that it is usefull flag on it too.

I have apic enabled on my system but would get no benefict from -DHI_INTS, as that flag enables wmsysmon to monitor more interrupts, present in alpha and true smp boxes. On my machine it would just needlessly clutter wmsysmon interface...

So I think that this ebuild could benefict from 'alpha' use flag, and a local 'smp' one...

Do you enable ACPI? Besides, i have some settings about APIC support in BIOS setup.

dmesg ...
ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
number of IO-APIC #2 registers: 24...

Ah, my processor does not support IO-APIC, that's where the extra INTs come from... thus we should honour alpha USE flag, and create a local hi_ints one...
