Re: problems with mouse
I do not know what could be the problem, but if I restart the machine, I get the functionality back. I use the scroll ability and learned to cut and paste using xterm only. It is then when I lose the functionality. I right click and or left-click and I cannot switch from browser to xterm. I have to shutdown browser open xterm and then close it. I want to copy from a terminal and paste, and when I switch to firefox from the terminal I cannot see mouse pointer. I then have to use alt* keys to logout because mouse gets lost. Do I send a script with output from grepping mouse?

8.3-BETA1 no connection how to troubleshoot
Dear folks, I have upgraded via freebsd-update to 8.3 BETA 1 as instructed in release announcement: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2012-February/066340.html Machine was working well with 8.2-RELEASE-p3 since I could not got to 8.2-RELEASE-p6, I decided it was best to test out 8.3-BETA1 and freebsd-update my way to 8.3-RELEASE when it is ready. Now when starting the system, I cannot get connected. The machine has three network devices two wired, one wireless msk0 re0 urtw0 of which msk0 was the only one which was connected directly. I have in /etc/rc.conf synchronous_dhclient=YES ifconfig msk0=DHCP it picks up ip address, but cannot ping any website and/or connect. Are there things I can try to troubleshoot this?

Re: 9.0 beta2 the new bsdinstaller
More concerns and questions onthe new bsdinstall: There is no upgrade function. How will a user be able to upgrade to BETA3 (or RC1?) without wiping out BETA2 installation? For instance, user might have built many software applications from ports and not want to rebuild everything. I have the same doubt/question. If I update the system via the ports, do I have BETA3/RC1? or do I have to run # freebsd-update to get the current release? Also, like is suggested, if I update by any means, I will probably have to delete reinstall everything in the ports. Is there a way not to do this?

Re: no X after installing xorg + xfce
The first thing to try is reading the handbook section on configuring X at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html - specifically try running Xorg -configure as root to get a basic xorg.conf file that you can then tweak Once you have this working, you may like to try the binary nvidia driver available from http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk which should provide the all the features of the graphics card Anthony Been there! Done that! Makes no difference. X hangs and returns screen with many lines in colors but X does not work correctly. So thanks for advice, but no that does not help.

Re: 9.0 beta2 the new bsdinstaller
On Sun, Sep 18, 2011 at 4:55 AM, Thomas Mueller mueller6727@bellsouth.net wrote: Some more ideas on the new bsdinstaller cross my mind. Since the way the bsdinstaller would make partitions is unpredictable, at least to the uninitiated, and in all likelihood at variance with how much space the user wants to allocate, it might be better to offer a roadmap to help guide the user to allocating space for FreeBSD using gpart or Rod Smith's gdisk. Also, I can't see the function of the 64 KB boot partition with no file system, which does not boot for me, though I can boot the main partition using grub2 from the System Rescue CD (http://sysresccd.org/). Another concern is updating to the next beta (BETA3?) without trashing the installed application software (from ports). So far, bsdinstaller hasn't offered any possibility of upgrading an existing installation. I don't think a user wants to rebuild all ports for every new beta or release candidate. This also concerns me. I wanted to ask, if one updates 9.0-BETA 2 through ports, if it was the same as a possible BETA-3? and the big question, if updating, does one have to build all the ports? or when one updates BETA-2, do we really have BETA-3 already? What I would question, is that the choices are offered, but one has to use (+) or (-) keys instead of the up arrow/down arrow to select the packages. When I installed it on an amd64 bit machine, I wanted to select src/ and kernel + base, but I did not know how to change, later I found out that + or - keys would change the selections, I pressed enter and then I could not go back to previous screen. With sysinstall I knew how to go back and forth between the screens, but with bsdinstall it is completely revamped.

How does one install kernel sources and base
Dear folks, I have installed 9.0 - BETA 2, and I had no x, when I typed startx, some folks have suggested to check if I have xorg-server, I will do that as soon as I get to my machine on Monday. Also I will check if I put into /etc/rc.conf, hald_enable=YES and dbus_enable=YES as well, otherwise startx will not work. But my question is as follows, How do I get kernel sources and base installed? I tried sysinstall and used configure - distributions - kernel + sys + base as outlined in http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/freebsd-install-kernel-source-code/ Did not work, got mirrors but timed out errors, I went through most mirrors in Japan, Sweden, USA, and it appears not to be found. I tried bsdinstall and reinserted 9.0-BETA2-amd64-dvd1 into drive and it would not mount and would return an error. I have read about using cvs or something like it, but I have not used it and would like some pointers on how to use it, or other form that would work to install kernel sources so I could try nvidia-driver since X was not working and nv driver is too old and might not work as one would like it to.

Dear folks, I hope this is the correct list to post this message. I have successfully installed FreeBSD-9.0-BETA2 to an amd64 bit machine, I have used the ports to install xfce and xorg. When I type startx, I get a screen with a bunch of colors no mouse, no keyboard, just colors. The machine has nvidia onboard graphics. I am trying to get kernel sources installed via sysinstall to install nvidia-driver but I can't get anywhere from any ftp site I select at random. I have updated to latest sources available on the ports and it comes up the same. I have to use the nv driver, should I try the nouveau driver? What should I do? I want to help in testing and have no way to report bugs as without X there's not much one can do :( Thanks for advice/suggestions/comments. I am successfully running FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 on three machines two at home and one at work in case it is important/relevant in the thread.

Regards, Antonio There is no X, I try to get information about the onboard video and I get VendorName nVidia Corporation BoardName C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] I tried installing nouveau but it did not do any difference, screen is garbled no X. The BSD install setup was too fast and I did not select sources for kernel and now I can't install nvidia driver to see if I could get X working :( Again, I appreciate any input given to see how I can help in testing.
