Nvidia drivers and mem.ko module
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 #3 on my machine and I'm having problems on installing nvidia-driver from ports. I get the following error: ERROR: Failed to load the NVIDIA module! KLD nvidia.ko: depends on mem - not available. That's saying about mem.ko module. Well, I cvsuped my tree - 'cause mem.ko doesn't exit on my /boot/kernel directory - and it's not available for my tag=RELENG_5_2. I tried to update my tree with the tag=. and it downloads mem source, but it's incompatible to my freebsd version (when I try to build and install my kernel I get errors about options that aren't available for that version of kernel). I searched google about more info and all I could get was a discussion between commiters about cvsup war/bug fix. In the end: I can't install nvidia-driver because it needs mem.ko module and I can't install mem.ko module because it isn't cvsuped to my tree (or because I'm too dummy :( ). Could anyone help?

If you don't have the 3Com disk, you can download what you need from their site. Hello, Please keep the list in the loop. Hold on there! I didn't say to run 2.2.2. It was nice back in the day, but if you were to run it now, the Huns would sack your village. What I meant to communicate is you should use the 3Com software to configure the NIC manually and then enter that configuration - if needed - when setting up your interface. Hi! Well, I once also used an old 509b, it had to be manually set up via DOS bootdisk, it turned out to be best practice to set it to manual IRQ configuration, so that you know what you have turned, you also had to set IIRC the right connector manually. those cards are supported via the ep(4) driver, xl(4), as stated in another posting, is for PCI cards. These cards can be a pain, they only support half duplex and can easily hook a system when the get lots of broadcast... Otherwise, in recent versions of FreeBSD the ep driver should have been improved, so I suggest trying a recent 4.10-Release on that box.

vinum root issue on 5.3-Beta2
I'm working on setting up a mirrored root filesystem as explained in: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/vinum-root.html I've gotten it to boot then noticed something broken about it on my setup. More info on my setup is at the bottom of this message. If it boots to the vinum partition it does not properly load vinum. How to explain that better.. booting normal as described in the handbook (loader.conf settings) it appears to only read ad0s1h for data, thus never fully comes up. I get among the various warnings (a slice is missing!) vinum: incompatible sector sizes. m-root.p1 has 0, m-root has 512. Ignored.

However booting to the a slice without using vinum (removed from loader.conf) booted up on ad0s1a(or ad0s1h)(half of the mirror) then doing vinum start after logging in I get: vinum: reading configuration from /dev/ad2s1h vinum: updating configuration from /dev/ad0s1h Aug 31 05:55:06 kernel: vinum: reading configuration from /dev/ad2s1h Aug 31 05:55:06 kernel: vinum: updating configuration from /dev/ad0s1h vinum - ld D vinumdrive1 State: up /dev/ad2s1h A: 0/1023 MB (0%) D vinumdrive0 State: up /dev/ad0s1h A: 0/1023 MB (0%) Is this a known issue?

RE: xf86config for Toshiba satellite pro laptop
Robert, Thanks so much! You're right, I mixed the numbers up! It's a 4260dvd. Anyway, I got X up and running. It took a lot of trial and error. The problem was 2 fold. First, there's a bug in sysinstall. I was getting a fail error message every time because sysinstall was looking for the new XF86Config file somewhere in the /etc folder. However, the new file was being written and put in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 folder. If everything had been put in the file correctly then all I needed to do was type startx. However, that's where my second problem occurred. I noticed that when I changed settings for setting up X in the graphical interface for configuring X, some of the lines would not be overwritten. So, I would get a line like: Driver 'vga' Chipset 'savage IX' and vise versa. When I used the text version of the configuration program, it seemed to rewrite the whole file with consistent data. Anyway, I was finally able to get it up and running - thanks to a few encouraging words for the mailing list. Thanks so much for responding!

RE: xf86config for Toshiba satellite pro laptop

(although it does give me refresh rates for an external monitor - 60/75/85 @16M colors). Is there a place I can go to find this information? Well, this is pretty common. Many desktop monitors don't give such information, either, and you either Google for it or guess, usually. What happens if you call startx, or have you? 2) Are there other obvious reasons the configuration would fail other than the monitor? The most obvious one I can think of is that, IIRC, the driver for the Savage chipsets is savage, not s3. But I could be wrong; can't remember ever trying X with the savage driver. Have you tried the vesa driver? Might do something for ya... Secondly, your Horizontal sync range isn't a range. Perhaps opening that up a bit would allow you to try it out. Certainly there could be other issues as well. I mentioned permissions above, for one. If you have the above in /etc/X11R6/XF86Config, if you run startx you should get either a server running or some error output in /var/log that might help...OTOH, I've never set up X on any laptop; I don't know if it's unsafe to try with a relatively untested config file. But the values look sane enough for a CRT display ... 3) Are there any sites I can visit for more info? XFree's site at xfree86.org; the FreeBSD handbook at www.freebsd.org/handbook come to mind.

As an example, the following appears on the page that you linked in your recent crosspost to doc@: Consider what would happen if you had two IDE hard disks, one as the master on the first IDE controller, and one as the master on the second IDE controller. If FreeBSD numbered these as it found them, as ad0 and ad1 then everything would work. But if you then added a third disk, as the slave device on the first IDE controller, it would now be ad1, and the previous ad1 would This goes on for another 3-4 paragraphs; it is a discussion of why FreeBSD has basically hardcoded disk drive names/numbers into the kernel, (e.g., why IDE primary master will always be ad0, why secondary slave will always be ad3, etc). Then again, just above figure 2-16 (which is the same as figure 2-20 but without an X in the checkbox): Figure 2-16 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html#SYSINSTALL-FDISK-DRIVE1 shows an example from a system with two IDE disks. They have been called ad0 and ad2. Based on reading these sections/statements of the manual, it would seem somewhat obvious that ad0 is the primary master IDE hard disk. It is hard, then, at least for me, to see this as a fault of the documentation. The drawback to this is that you're writing from the POV of someone who knows all this. I'm not, I don't. I have booted some other installers on this setup and find they do provide more information than the bare OS-dependant name. Ideally, on my system, the installer would say: AD0 Internal IDE drive, primary master, WD102AA 10.2 Gb DA0 External USB drive, Cypress ATMR04-0 40 Gb so most, even modestly, technical people could instantly recognise which disk is which. Not my intent to join in beating you about the head and shoulders, but what some folks have been trying to say (perhaps tersely, granted) is that you're writing to people who (1) all have lots of things to do in the Real World(tm), (2) have far less idea of how you think the documentation should read than you do, and (3) if they share your ideas about what the installer should show, which is not certain, haven't had time to do anything about it. Particularly regarding the installer, it would appear that the change you want is either not trivial, not a priority, or both. Here's how you ought to proceed: Regarding the documentation, read the Handbook and any other sources you can find regarding submitting a patch (a requested change) to the docs, do so, and see if someone with authority to make (commit) the change agrees with you. Regarding the installer, see if you can find someone (reading the freebsd-hackers mailing list might be a place to start) interested in and capable of making the types of changes you envision, who has time to spend on the project. Otherwise, things will remain as they are (actually not horrible from my point of view - absolutely there is a learning curve, but I strangely enjoy that sort of thing), since, as others have pointed out, you're dealing with volunteers.

Re: Is any documents about freebsd Fix-it CD (disc2)?
A fixit Cd is a special media which contains a LIVE FreeBSD filesystem. If your system refuses to boot due to some reason, then you can use the fixit CD to boot into the system and fix it. For using the FIXIT CD, boot from the regular CDROM (ie the first cd) and select to repair the installation. When it asks for a Fixit media then you need to replace the regular installation CDROM with the Fixit media and fix the system. Regards S.

It is the perogative of most BSD users and developers that new users should ``RTFM''; indeed, most aren't used to this. Our new users are generally people with a good idea about how computers work who haven't had the need to read a manual through installation before. People coming from either a Linux, Mac or Windows camp will not be familiar with our naming of IDE and SCSI (and USB mass storage, which share SCSI namespace, which can also be confusing) devices. I'm not against the idea of people needing to learn our OS, but the installation procedure shouldn't be a curve at all -- it is a one time thing (at least for several days/weeks/months) for many new users. How is anybody to know that ad0 means IDE Disk 1 Channel 1 from the information that was pointed out in the manual. If one person has a problem with it, you can be fairly sure that a number of others have as well, and have simply kept their mouth shut (or went over to something else) for fear of lambastation.

Re: newest kdelibs fails to build
I failed to mention that I'm running 4.10-STABLE on this box. Also, I have a second box and I cvsupped it and it fails to build kdelibs too. Only THIS time, I simply went to the port directory, i.e., /usr/ports/x11/kdelibs3 and invoked make. On the other system, I followed the procedures in UPDATING (which has portupgrade -a as part of step 3 or 4), and now that system doesn't have any kde. So the second system is still running KDE 3.2.3 and the first box is blown out of the water. Here are my auto tool versions: autoconf-2.13.000227_5 = up-to-date with port autoconf-2.53_3 = up-to-date with port autoconf-2.59_2 = up-to-date with port automake-1.5_2,1= up-to-date with port automake-1.8.5_2= up-to-date with port On Tuesday 31 August 2004 07:29 am, Karel J.

Having hacked some OpenGL on FreeBSD myself, I found www.opengl.org to be helpful (the obvious one, perhaps), as well as NeHe's tutorials over on nehe.gamedev.net Basically, any stuff that's valid for Linux, is also valid for FreeBSD. The OpenGL API is identical (and comes installed with X), the only thing that might be different is the placement of libraries and headers, but this is handled during compile-time anyways. The other thing is hardware acceleration. I'm fuzzy on this, but my impression is that this is somewhat non-existent on FreeBSD. The only exception quite possibly being the NVIDIA drivers. If he's porting from Linux, my guess is that he's got a fairly easy job ahead of him. If he's porting from Windows, that's going to pose a lot more work.

opiekeys and IMAP
Hi all, Having trouble with security features, I think, that I can't seem to resolve. I have a fresh install of 4.10 from FTP and am trying to set up Cyrus IMAP with Squirrelmail front end.

Re: OpenGL development on FreeBSD
On Tue, 31 Aug 2004 17:10:26 -0700 Henrik W Lund [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Having hacked some OpenGL on FreeBSD myself, I found www.opengl.org to be helpful (the obvious one, perhaps), as well as NeHe's tutorials over on nehe.gamedev.net Yes, those tutorials are excellent. Kilgard's `OpenGL programming for the X Window System' also makes a good start if you prefer dead tree documentation, although the Motif stuff is not that useful these days, but the basics remain the same. Basically, any stuff that's valid for Linux, is also valid for FreeBSD. The OpenGL API is identical (and comes installed with X), the only thing that might be different is the placement of libraries and headers, but this is handled during compile-time anyways. The other thing is hardware acceleration. I'm fuzzy on this, but my impression is that this is somewhat non-existent on FreeBSD. The only exception quite possibly being the NVIDIA drivers. I'd say FreeBSD is almost on par with Linux with regards to 3D hardware acceleration, the exception being high end ATi cards which only work with ATi's closed source drivers. All cards supported by the DRI open source drivers work fine in FreeBSD. I haven't noticed performance difference between Arch Linux and FreeBSD 5.3 when it comes to OpenGL apps. Ironically, my little SDL benchmarks performed better on the BSDs, even when one of the CPUs was busy. Could be a scheduler side effect, not sure. If he's porting from Linux, my guess is that he's got a fairly easy job ahead of him. If he's porting from Windows, that's going to pose a lot more work. Also, he'll need to use one of the appropriate libraries (GLUT or SDL) unless he wants to code directly atop libX11 *shudder*. All modern toolkits allow integration with OpenGL these days, be it SDL or GTK+/Qt if you need something more feature rich. I see little reason not to use them.

Can someone explain to me how exactly to do this? I've tried to CVSup the ports using the sample supfile provided but none of my packages seem to build. FreeBSD 5.2.1 is the release version from the RELENG_5_2 branch. If you cvsup to the latest on that branch you'll get 5.2.1 release plus any security patches that have been issued in the mean time. Note however that the process leading to 5.3-RELEASE is underway, aiming to culminate in early October with 5.3-RELEASE (the RELENG_5_3 branch) and around the same time 5.3-STABLE (ie. declaring the RELENG_5 branch STABLE). Right now the RELENG_5 branch will get you 5.3-BETA2, one of a series of weekly beta test versions intended to be released up until 5.3-RELEASE. Note that 5.3-RELEASE will be a full production release, unlike 5.2.1-RELEASE which is the last of the technology preview releases. You'ld be well advised to upgrade to RELENG_5_3 once it's available since support on the RELENG_5_2 branch will be dropped fairly shortly afterwards. The current branch is now actually 6-CURRENT as of a few weeks ago. You almost definitely don't want that. There is also the RELENG_4 or 4.10-STABLE branch, which is by no means obsolete just yet. There are plans for at least one and possibly two more 4.x releases, and support on some of the 4.x branches will continue for a year or so after then.

RE: java install errors
Not to beat a dead horse but here are a couple of extra points to offer. From a Base/Minimal install of 5.2.1 I got a current ports tree with cvsup-without-gui. Next, I install linux-base: cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux-base make install clean edit /etc/rc.conf to contain the line linux_enable=YES I then downloaded: bsd-jdk14-patches-6.tar.gz (Got this from www.eyesbeyond.com) j2sdk-1_4_2-bin-scsl.zip j2sdk-1_4_2-src-scsl.zip j2sdk-1_4_2_05-linux-i586.bin j2sdk-sec-1_4_2-src-scsl.zip (I got the j2sdk stuff from java.sun.com). Once these files were downloaded, I placed them in /usr/port/distfiles. Now cd to /usr/ports/java/jdk14 and do a make install clean. I just did these steps in the listed order yesterday and after a few hours of compiling java it was up. -Randy -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Hodgson Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 10:15 AM To: 'T Kellers'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 'Chip' Subject: RE: java install errors Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack location /usr/ports/java/jdk14/work/control/build/bsd-i586/gensrc/java /util/Curr ency Data.java:1: 'class' or 'interface' expected Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack location ^ /usr/ports/java/jdk14/work/control/build/bsd-i586/gensrc/java/ util/Currency Data.java:1: unclosed character literal Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack location ^ snip Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk14. -- What needs to be done to make this actually install correctly?

Installing on Compaq DL380 with IDA RAID
Hello, I'm having a problem installing 5.3-BETA2 on this box with a Compaq Integrated SMART Array Controller. The install CD detects the array and I can partition, label, and install 5.3-BETA2 through the post- install configuration. However, when I reboot, the OS tells me, something to the effect, OS not found. I've tried installing the FreeBSD boot manager, a standard boot record, and to leave the MBR untouched. I've also tried 4.9-RELEASE just to see if there was a problem with 5.3-BETA2. No matter what I try, I cannot get the Compaq BIOS to recognize the OS I just installed on the drive array. I must be missing something obvious, but googling and perusing the archives hasn't helped. Thanks for your assistance... Doug __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.

Re: newest kdelibs fails to build
Hi Steven, It looks to me like you may be missing something in your make.conf file. I use: CFLAGS= -O -pipe COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe And If you're just upgradeing KDE to 3.3, you can use: BATCH=yes Run pkgdb -fF and straighten out any bad dependencies. When I did the upgrade, after following step 2, there were dependencies on kdeutils and kdepim still in pkgdb. Those have to be resolved or portupgrade will puke. Unfortunately, I didn't resolve those dependencies until after I built arts and kdelib from ports. At that point I followed the top part of step 3. I have a 1.13ghz AMD Thunderbird, I started the upgrade at 5:00 last night, it finished today at about 1:00PM. That upgrade took a long time to complete. Hope that will help. Don Donald J.

FreeBSD on external Hard Disk
Hello, I am new to FreeBSD, hence this question regarding the installation of FreeBSD 5.2.1 on an external hard disk. I was considering buying a Maxtor One-Touch (USB and FireWire, 80GB) to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 on it. I already have Windows XP Pro and Fedora Core 2 installed on an Acer TravelMate 803 CLi (with Intel Centrino chip) laptop, but to make things cleaner, I think it is better to install FreeBSD on an external hard disk and to update the MBR on the TravelMate so as to be able to boot FreeBSD on the external drive. I have searched the mailing lists on FreeBSD and searched Google, but there does not seem to be any information on such a set-up. If anyone has any exprerience installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 on an external hard disk (particulary the Maxtor HD mentioned above), your help and advice would be immensely appreciated.

Re: FreeBSD on external Hard Disk
The installation to external hard disk is exactly the same as if you had another internal drive. Only the external Hard disk will show up as da0 and you need to keep an eye on which drive you are partitioning.

PXE Questions
I'm starting to use PXE to install FreeBSD servers, something I've been doing with Linux for a while. I've got installs working, but I'm running into a few flexibility issues I hope have been addressed. While I use DHCP to install the server, the server should not attempt to boot DHCP when rebooted. I've used the packageAdd mechanism to install and run a script that customizes the rc.conf file, but upon first reboot the hostname and DHCP configuration items are inserted into rc.conf below the items I added with my script. Q. How can the install be customized to cofigure rc.conf with a static IP address rather than DHCP? Failing that, how can the first boot configuration be disabled as to not conflict with my custom changes? I have several different server configurations I need to run, and would like to setup a per host install.cfg. RedHat's kickstart allows these configurations to be defined on a per IP address basis by modifying a config file. FreeBSD requires that the mfsroot image be mounted and the install.cfg file within be modified. This process would need to be done every time a server is installed rather than having a few vanilla configurations that could be called independantly (ATA vs SCSI for example). Q. Can per host configurations be used? If not, can the install.cfg file be used to retrieve this data on the fly i.e. : variable=`fetch http://confighost/cgi-bin/config.pl` where config.pl would be a script that could return values based on the client IP address? Is there another way to address this issue? Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Customizing a release
I'm looking for information on how to properly customize a FreeBSD distribution when using the make release framework. I've made some attempts to include a custom kernel in my own release, but this kernel never makes it's way into the staging area (i.e. ftp distribution). The documentation on the FreeBSD site covers how to build a release, but other than a few hints I'm not finding and references on the correct way to customize the release. Preferably I'd like to populate the build area with the source, and apply my own patches prior to completing the build so that a make rerelease and lengthy delay is not necessary. On that note, is it possible to pre qualify a source file using the version control number prior to applying the patch so that source changes are flagged?

Question::page fault::vm:::encrypt and decrypt file data
hi, Q1: How to produce a page fault? Q2: How translate physical memory address into virtual memory address? Because phys addr is 64 bit and virtual addr is 32 bit. Q1 description:: I have succeed to add hook in vfs layer to encrypt file data before write and decrypt file data after read. Now, when I use cp command, system will reboot, it seem to caused by encrypt data whose addr is uio-uio_iov-iov_base. Is it ok if only I produce a page fault manually? Q2 description:: I try to decrypt file data when page fault. I find it's easy to get physical address from virtual address, but when page fault, kern will page in several pages including page we require, how can I get virtual memory address of these pages? May I access data in physical memory directly? If yes, how tranlate 64 bit phys addr into 32 bit virt addr?

Re: Can't boot
I assume that you are installing *only* FreeBSD on the Pentium and not multibooting it. Did you select to install the standard MBR or did u select to leave he MBR untouched? What happens when you try to boot the system fromthe hadr drive? Yes, FreeBSD is to be the only system on the machine. I actually don't remember what I chose to do with regards to the MBR; was there a point in the installation I would have made that choice? I'm pretty sure I would have chosen to install the standard MBR as there are no other systems on the machine. Is there a way I can fix the MBR now if that's the issue? I couldn't find that in sysinstall. When I try to boot from the hard drive, it says Read error. P Regard S.
