'S' is SNDRV_SEQ_IOCTL which has no ioctl nr 0xb. Also I have no idea why a sound sequencer ioctl should work on /dev/pts/0 :) > - with X: > ioctl32(X:2803): Unknown cmd fd(0) cmd(40086408){t:'d';sz:8} arg(ff840a68) on > /var/log/Xorg.0.log > ioctl32(X:2803): Unknown cmd fd(0) cmd(40086408){t:'d';sz:8} arg(ff840a68) on > /var/log/Xorg.0.log 'd' is used by pcmcia and DRM. DRM sounds more likely for X, but I have a hard time to understand why a DRM ioctl should work on /var/log/Xorg.0.log :) For both gnome-terminal and X strace should tell you more. > - when trying to suspend: > ioctl32(s2disk:8164): Unknown cmd fd(4) cmd(400c330d){t:'3';sz:12} > arg(ffc190ec) on /dev/snapshot > ioctl32(s2disk:8164): Unknown cmd fd(4) cmd(4004330a){t:'3';sz:4} arg(00000806) > on /dev/snapshot snapshot_ioctl seems to lack compat support completely.
