I noticed a peculiar situation using the select system call
to monitor key presses and mouse movement. It seems
that select stops monitoring /dev/keyboard0 and /dev/mouse0
when the CPU load exceeds some threshold (which I have yet to be
able to determine). This happens in DU4.0B and DU4.0D.
What am I missing?
* Is there a tunable kernel parameter to change this threshold?
* Is there some special way that the keyboard/mouse devices
must be opened in order for this to work?
* Is select broken in Digital Unix?
* ??
This is some very important software that I need to port
from Solaris to Digital Unix, so any ideas would be very
much appreciated.
