Am I reading right? The 'Mouse movement bug' has finally been put to an end? Wonderful!

Thank you XNU Dev Labs.

Thumbs up

Yes, you read it right. I've been testing a pre beta 2 kernel with the relevant fix and I have to say that my system has never been so stable. No mDNSResponder errors, no divide by zero, no -10810 errors -- nothing!

Good job XNU-Dev!

According to mercurysquad the official beta 2 should be released before Monday, "hopefully".

Does the 9.5 kernel work with 10.5.3 too? I don't have the mouse mevement bug, but sometimes dividion by zero and maybe two times the -10810 error since I own my dual-core cpu which is since May. Which packages do I need?

i think it may work, at least it works with 10.5.4. anyway i wonder why some bugs appear on some cpus but do not show up on others...i`ve never seen division by zero problem or any errors. i`ve got only mouse-bug and sound stuttering

The 'mouse bug' and audio stutter are both symptoms of TSC drift which has now been resolved.

Not to throw this into the wrong discussion but with the voodoo_beta kernel, my original TSC delta was -235690 and the new delta with CPU1 is 36.

Is there any way to narrow the gap down closer to 0?

This is fantastic news, huge thanks to the XNU team for solving this at last!

Is there any benefit to having this fix as a kext? Would it not be simpler if it stays in-kernel?

R0GUE just identified a bug where sleep/resume resets the workaround. So we'll probably package this up as a .kext which AMD users can dump in their Extensions folder and it will take care of everything - rather than modifying the kernel's sleep/resume functions. People who use other kernels can use the kext too.

This also means beta 2 will be further delayed. Please be patient
