problem booting 4.9beta - usb

2003-09-25 Thread Paulo Roberto
When I boot 4.9beta, the system freezes during usb detection if there
is *any* (mouse, camera) device attached to it. If I remove all
devices, the system boots normally.
The same did not happen with 4.8.

Play a little with your BIOS configuration and see if you can config
your AGP. And a little tip: DO NOT BUY PCCHIPS!! I bought a few pcchips
mobos once and a while and just one old model (running on an old
Celeron 233) runs _without_ any problem.

I am terribly sorry for posting this, but I cannot find documentation
about implementing with ugen except for the man page. Does anyone
indicate a good site?

porting a webcam

2003-08-14 Thread Paulo Roberto
Hello,

I am about to code my first kmod. I am trying to port an usb camera to
FreeBSD, and since I am new at system development, I hope you don't
mind helping me out. If this is not the correct list I should post,
please point me what list I should post to.

I got a few questions:

* Does the 5 series differs too much to from the 4-stable to write a
device driver? I am planning to code for 4.8 (the one I am using now)
and I wonder how hard would it be to port it later to the 5 series.

* I am reading the developers handbook, is there another good reference
recommended? Any good point of reference for usb/camera
protocols/device drivers?

* You guys think it is too difficult and I should just give up due to
my lack of experience? And if I manage to code properly, is it too
bureaucratic to get it into the FreeBSD kernel?

thanks,

Paulo Roberto

vpo in ECP

2003-07-28 Thread Paulo Roberto
Hello,

Sorry hackers, I have posted this to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but got no
answer...

I did set my mainboard BIOS to use ECP transfer mode (dma 3  irq 7). I
edited my kernel to:

device ppc0 at isa? flags 0x8 irq 7

(is there a way to declare the dma I want to use? config complains if I
add dma xyz)
and when I boot I get:

Jul  1 10:36:42 delta /kernel: ppc0: Parallel port at port
0x378-0x37f irq 7 flags 0x8 on isa0
Jul  1 10:36:42 delta /kernel: ppc0: Generic chipset (ECP-only) in ECP
mode
Jul  1 10:36:42 delta /kernel: ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/16 bytes threshold
Jul  1 10:36:42 delta /kernel: ppi0: Parallel I/O on ppbus0
Jul  1 10:36:42 delta /kernel: imm0: NIBBLE mode unavailable!

and my zip-100 drive does not get recognized. Is it possible to use vpo
in ECP mode?? EPP and compatible modes are just too damn slow.

thanks,

Paulo Roberto

I couldn't agree more. If you are just staying in 55 mph, you don't

ctrl alt del behaviour

2002-07-05 Thread Paulo Roberto

Hello,

No flames please, before I am posting this message I did:
-read all kinds of faq and docs on www.freebsd.org
-searched a lot the web
-posted this question to freebsd questions
-searched more and more
-looked up for help in irc #freebsd channels
-searched more
-posted again to freebsd questions
-and searched more.
And if there is a place I can get the answer, the place is here...

The issue about ctrl+alt+del is that I need to change the default
behaviour that is reboot, to halt the system. The best I could find was
to change the keymap on key 83 (if I am not mistaking) to 'pdwn' or
'halt' (it was previously on 'boot').
After rebooting to the changes take effect (I do not know if there is a
way to reload the keymap withou restarting the system), I try
ctrl+alt+del and then it runs the proper halt/shutdown script, but when
it was supposed to stop (halt) for the user press the power button, it
does automaticaly reboot.
Is there a way to just halt (and stay halted) using ctrl+alt+del?

TIA

Paulo
