What do you mean with detection of the card? How do you determine whether the card has been detected or not? I read the NOTES file and found two options: drm radeondrm These are for 3D support, but man radeon says that your card isn't supported in this regard by this driver.

I have 2 options, find another VGA card compatible with freebsd or continue locking for help and maybe the results would not be good ? Buy an Nvidia card if you need 3D support necessarily, because Nvidia offers drivers for FreeBSD. ATI does not; they support Linux only. The third option would be to do it without 3D support. This should work always. If you have problems with configuring the X Window Server then /var/log/Xorg.0.log might be helpful. :-) Another thing is that, if i compile the GENERIC kernel deleting some fields but let the 3 options for Firewire support, make send me errors and dosent finish...?

A good tool to use is Segate's Seatools (http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/index.html). Just burn the Seatools Desktop edition to CDROM and boot from it. - Russell After you've checked for loose cables, you might want to take the drive out and check it in another system (using the Seagate or other such tools). If indeed the problem is with DMA, the drive might be ok but the MB is flakey. Perhaps the PC or MB manufacturer has diagnosics with which you can zero into the latter ugly possiblity. In any case, get yourself a backup asap (at least of the user data so that you can recover from a fresh installation.) Unless you are getting other types of errors, it is probably still possible to copy the drive with dd using bs=512b, and this would be your quickest fix of a hard drive problem. Run fsck on your new disk after the copy. dd is generally not a good choice for copying disks (although it does sort of work). The new disk will appear unclean when copied from a live fs and may in fact have an odd instance of a file which has not yet been physically updated. And it just takes too long since you copy empty space as well as real data. Instead slice, partition the new disk and create newfs on the new partitions. And then pipe dump (using the snapshot option) through to restore for each fs on the disks. I have (successfully) used this approach extensively for cloning systems.

mouse dead on FreeBSD but not on Windows

Re: unable to write data to disk ad0
Hello, I have a FreeBSD 6.0 system on i386. I would like to add a new label on my main FreeBSD partition (I have about 30GB free space left). If I try to add a new slice (ad0s1g, mount point: /shares size:20031MB, UFS2+S) then I get this message: unable to write data to disk ad0 First of all, lets get the terminology straightened out. I think you mean to say that you want to add a partition to your FreeBSD slice. The slice (from 1-4) is the main division in FreeBSD and it is subdivided in to partitions a-h. Second, I presume you are booted to that drive. The system does not allow you to modify the label on the boot drive. If it is the only FreeBSD bootable drive you have, then you will need to boot from the 'fixit' CD and run from that to modify the label and add the additional partition. The fixit is now on the main install CD. Just boot it and then choose the fixit item and get a UNIX shell. You can use sysinstall from that as well if you don't want to handle fdisk and bsdlabel yourself.Just make sure you are careful about the slice and partition[s] you modify so you don't wipe out something you want to keep. By the way, this is in either the handbook, FAQs or the archive. I know I have answered this questions several times in the last year - about every two months.Those resources are your best first source before making someone write the same thing yet one more time. jerry I also tried to do the same with the bsdlabel utility, but it has so many options, and the examples given in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bsdlabelsektion=8 are too confusing to me. I do not want to accidentally overwrite my good partitions. Can somebody tell me a simple way to add a new label? Then I guess I need to format it with newfs /dev/ad0s1g and finally mount it.

FreeBSD 6.0: Problem with network, doesn't use default gateway
Hi, this is my first message to the mailing-list. I hope that I have included enough information about the problem. The problem is that my FreeBSD 6.0 (release) won't use the default route (gateway). So I can't access anything on the internet. Hardware and network equipment: Dell latitude D810 (Pentium M 2.0 GHz, 1.5 GB of primary memory, broadcom gigabit/fast/normal ethernet controller). The broadcom chip uses the bge driver. I have looked in the man page for that and no troubles or something like that is mentioned. IPv4 address: 192.168.0.228 /25 The gateway is a netgear RP614 broadband router. IPv4: 192.168.0.199 /25 Also a windows 2003 server is acting as DNS-server for my network. FreeBSD shares the computer with windows XP pro SP2 using dual boot. In windows it works fine so this convince me that it's a software problem in FreeBSD. As said, it works perfectly fine inside the LAN, but not outside. I include a dmesg output (at the bottom) if that is of any importance and also output from ifconfig, netstat -nr, ping and traceroute. I was logged in as root while testing this. Notice that because I'm using an internal DNS-server I can do lookups.

Since your packets are being routed and NATed by the gateway correctly when the box is in Windows mode, packets should be getting routed and NATed correctly for FreeBSD as well. That is, if the box in Windows mode is using the same IP number and mask as the FreeBSD settings (you should double check that it is). If the gateway is running fine (seems to be) and FreeBSD is properly using the gateway (seems to be), then the most likely suspect seems to be firewall configuration -- after your connection is properly routed, reply packets from the Internet could be getting dropped on the floor by your gateway or by FreeBSD. Have you configured any kind of packet filter (ipf, ipfw, other) for FreeBSD? Try disabling that and see if your results change. If so, tune your filtering rules accordingly. Use of tcpdump -i bge0 may also be informative (see man tcpdump). -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) gregb at scls.lib.wi.us, (608) 266-6348 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: unable to write data to disk ad0
First of all, lets get the terminology straightened out. I think you mean to say that you want to add a partition to your FreeBSD slice. Yes. Second, I presume you are booted to that drive. The system does not allow you to modify the label on the boot drive. If it is the only FreeBSD bootable drive you have, then you will need to boot from the 'fixit' CD and run from that to modify the label and add the additional partition. Well, finally I read the disklabel manual over again (about 3 times) and I COULD add a new partition on my boot drive! By the way, this is in either the handbook, FAQs or the archive. This is typical. You know what, after googling for serveral hours, I found out that it did not let me write on the disk because the kernel had SECURELEVEL=2. This is something that should be in the manual. I appreciate that you wanted to help me, but actually you pointed me to the wrong direction two times. I suggest to change the documentation of the disklabel/bsdlabel and fdisk programs. We should add this warning: Warning: you need to disable your kernel securelevel in /etc/rc.conf. The kernel does not allow to modify disk label information above securelevel=N. (I'm still not sure about the value of N). I'm not sure where can I add this request to change the documentation. But it would save hundreds of hours for newbies and supporters too.

Re: FreeBSD 6.0: Problem with network, doesn't use default gateway
At 07:18 AM 1/3/2006, Christer Folkesson wrote: Hi, this is my first message to the mailing-list. I hope that I have included enough information about the problem. The problem is that my FreeBSD 6.0 (release) won't use the default route (gateway). So I can't access anything on the internet. Hardware and network equipment: Dell latitude D810 (Pentium M 2.0 GHz, 1.5 GB of primary memory, broadcom gigabit/fast/normal ethernet controller). The broadcom chip uses the bge driver. I have looked in the man page for that and no troubles or something like that is mentioned. IPv4 address: 192.168.0.228 /25 The gateway is a netgear RP614 broadband router. IPv4: 192.168.0.199 /25 Also a windows 2003 server is acting as DNS-server for my network. FreeBSD shares the computer with windows XP pro SP2 using dual boot. In windows it works fine so this convince me that it's a software problem in FreeBSD. As said, it works perfectly fine inside the LAN, but not outside. I include a dmesg output (at the bottom) if that is of any importance and also output from ifconfig, netstat -nr, ping and traceroute. I was logged in as root while testing this. Notice that because I'm using an internal DNS-server I can do lookups. Obviously that wouldn't have been possible with the DNS-server provided by my ISP. I don't see anything obviously wrong with the configuration info you sent below. The problem you are having is more likely in the router you are using, but without that configuration info, it's impossible to tell. Are you using dhcp to assign IP addresses? If so, is the router doing that job or something else? Since you mentioned that it works when you boot into windows, are the network settings the same? (IP, netmask, default route ,etc) or is windows configured to use something different? How is NAT configured in the router? Does it's configuration cover the 192.168.0.228 address? -Glenn alcoy# ifconfig bge0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=1aTXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING inet6 fe80::214:22ff:fee1:41be%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.0.228 netmask 0xff80 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:14:22:e1:41:be media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex ) status: active lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 alcoy# netstat -nr Routing tables Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default192.168.0.199 UGS 0 52 bge0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 52lo0 192.168.0.128/25 link#1 UC 00 bge0 192.168.0.199 00:09:5b:10:de:14 UHLW2 190 bge0 1182 192.168.0.210 00:05:5d:0c:f8:23 UHLW1 29 bge0 Internet6: Destination Gateway Flags Netif Expire ::1 ::1 UH lo0 fe80::%bge0/64link#1 UC bge0 fe80::214:22ff:fee1:41be%bge0 00:14:22:e1:41:be UHL lo0 fe80::%lo0/64 fe80::1%lo0 U lo0 fe80::1%lo0 link#2 UHL lo0 ff01::/32 ::1 U lo0 ff02::%bge0/32link#1 UC bge0 ff02::%lo0/32 ::1 UC lo0 alcoy# traceroute ping.sunet.se traceroute to ping.sunet.se (130.242.80.31), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 sentinel (192.168.0.199) 0.524 ms 0.518 ms 0.515 ms 2 * * * ^C alcoy# ping sentinel PING router.aqualize.tk (192.168.0.199): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.0.199: icmp_seq=0 ttl=250 time=0.669 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.199: icmp_seq=1 ttl=250 time=0.679 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.199: icmp_seq=2 ttl=250 time=0.673 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.199: icmp_seq=3 ttl=250 time=0.673 ms ^C --- router.aqualize.tk ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.669/0.673/0.679/0.004 ms alcoy# Copyright (c) 1992-2005 The FreeBSD Project.

6.0-RELEASE Thinkpad 600e SMBus IOCTL: Device not configured error apm issues.
Hello, This is my second email to this list, I got no response from the first email I sent, I hope i'm providing enough information. I'm currently running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE on my IBM Thinkpad 600e 2645-4AU with a custom kernel. I updated the BIOS to the latest version that IBM offers ( INET36WW http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=DSHY-46HLKQ). I've searched google quite a bit on how to get this laptop properly working in FreeBSD. I'm using APM on my system, one thing I noticed is that when running 'apm' the Remaining battery time is not consistent, it jumps from 2:00:00 to 3:05:00 back to 2:35:00 it's really all over the place. The Remaining battery does not randomly change, so i'm assuming that is correct? I also noticed that whenever my laptop comes out of suspend ( apm -Z ), the video color is distorted I'm using VESA with 'vidcontrol MODE_279' 1024x768x16, all other modes seem to do the same thing however when coming out of suspend mode it distorts to a different color, so on mode 279 it distorts the white color to a light blue, and with 280 it distorts the white color to red, it distorts other colors as well but that's the main color I notice. I've compiled smbus into my kernel and I load the intpm driver and the /dev/smb0 is created. I tried using 'chm' but I get these errors: I have listed pciconf, dmesg, loader.conf, device.hints, and kernel config below. I appreciate any help that anyone is able to provide, I would love to have this Laptop working 100%.

Should something exist in this path after installing the freebsd-update port? And second, how would one correctly execute this command string in bash?

Is remote gdb debugging supported on FreeBSD-5.4?
I have a need to remotely debug an application on a remote FreeBSD-5.4 machine that is devoid of utilities and source code. I previously asked a question about gdbserver, but it looks like it's not available so I'll ask the more general question. I could login in to the remote machine, mount a source and utility NFS partition and run gdb locally, but I would rather attach a gdb session from my development machine to the target machine. Is remote debugging with gdb supported at all on FreeBSD (5.4)? Thanks, Paul. __ Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.

Subject: ipfw divert with exception?
I have a FreeBSD 6.0 machine acting as a router for our office. We use
natd for address translation, and I have rule like so:
ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via ${ext_if}
To allow incoming SSH access, I have a redirect_port line setup in my
/etc/natd.conf file, and while it works just fine, I don't like that
natd has to be running in order for me to SSH into the server.
(Because, if -- hypothetically of course -- one were to *cough*
accidentally kill the natd process without realizing this, then
*ahem*, one would be locked out remotely without any means of fixing
it. And I'd like to stress that this situation is indeed, uh,
hypothetical. ;) )
So, I'm sure there is a way for me to create some ipfw rules above the
divert line to accept incoming SSH traffic and not having it get
diverted, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how I can achieve this. The
current rule I have above this does not do anything to stop the
traffic from being diverted:
ipfw add accept tcp from any to any 22 in via ${ext_if}
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick

Re: unable to write data to disk ad0
First of all, lets get the terminology straightened out. I think you mean to say that you want to add a partition to your FreeBSD slice. Yes. Second, I presume you are booted to that drive. The system does not allow you to modify the label on the boot drive. If it is the only FreeBSD bootable drive you have, then you will need to boot from the 'fixit' CD and run from that to modify the label and add the additional partition. Well, finally I read the disklabel manual over again (about 3 times) and I COULD add a new partition on my boot drive! By the way, this is in either the handbook, FAQs or the archive. This is typical. You know what, after googling for serveral hours, I found out that it did not let me write on the disk because the kernel had SECURELEVEL=2. This is something that should be in the manual. I appreciate that you wanted to help me, but actually you pointed me to the wrong direction two times. regardless, you would be better off doing this from a not booted drive. jerry I suggest to change the documentation of the disklabel/bsdlabel and fdisk programs. We should add this warning: Warning: you need to disable your kernel securelevel in /etc/rc.conf. The kernel does not allow to modify disk label information above securelevel=N. (I'm still not sure about the value of N). I'm not sure where can I add this request to change the documentation. But it would save hundreds of hours for newbies and supporters too.

termcap and TERM detection
The secondary screen functionality on my xterm (rxvt-unicode) was acting strangly. So, following the advice at: http://cvs.schmorp.de/browse/*checkout*/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html I added an rxvt-unicode termcap entry to my termcap file and ran cap_mkdb. After login, I'm able to 'setenv TERM rxvt-unicode' and everything works perfectly. However, when running urxvt initially, it detects the $TERM as 'rxvt', not 'rxvt-unicode'. How is the $TERM variable determined by the system? Is there a way to detect my new termcap entry? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

But I found your tutorial extremely hard to follow. First what does a user do if they can't boot from CD? I believe in the intro I pointed out Assumptions that you need to boot from CD for this particular tutorial. May God have mercy on anyone trying to do a floppy install. Even the books say not to do that. Ah here it is: Assumptions: You have a CD-ROM drive You won't be sharing the HD with another OS (If you are, when it comes time to partition, you're on your own I won't be showing you how to partition to use another OS with it, as I don't, and don't feel the need to, as there is enough documentation to get you through this anyway, and besides, you have to partition to use Free BSD anyway, so if you can do that, you can do it to allow another OS to reside on disk with Free BSD too.) You will be setting up a network connection. (If you are not, then skip that section). Are there any preinstallation tasks like: inventory of hardware, ps/2 mouse or serial, size of partitions, user accounts/groups(other than root). I personally find it easier if you have a plan rather than shooting from the hip. Again I believe that was pointed out as well where I pointed out the others I wrote, those say to grab all hardware info from your current OS as you'll need it. And I believe it was pointed out in this one as well. Not positive as I'm not reading through the entire thing, I've been up for 24 hours and I'm to tired to look when I know my other tutorials are linked to at the bottom and that do say to do so. You should have just told people to use the FreeBSD book or goto the handbook online. I did Several times. Except I took out online and put Buy these two books as they are good for anyone using BSD. Again, I believe people should at least buy those two books listed in the tutorial, both go over installs with pictures, and again, this was meant for people that you rightly pointed out don't care how the computer works. The users who've read it and used it have told me it was the easiest doc the have ever read and they were glad it was in non technical terms for them. A couple admins told me they have printed this out and put it up at the office. Another thing is that most people don't want to know or figure out how to install an operating system. They just want that puter thing to work. They don't care about disk partitions, video cards, or mouse daemons they just want it to work. You say: I don't think there is an easier to follow installer help anywhere. Not arrogance, but I did do very well with it in making it easy as crap to install I guess thats anitonline.com for yah. What about http://www.freebsd.org/handbook as Frank said. You should join the core team with your humbleness. Then in a later post on this thread you go onto say Lots more but I'm not going to waste space. For that I applaude you ;) Again this isn't a flame just being brutally honest.

Re: FreeBSD 6.0: Problem with network, doesn't use default
Glenn Dawson wrote: At 07:18 AM 1/3/2006, Christer Folkesson wrote: Hi, this is my first message to the mailing-list. I hope that I have included enough information about the problem. The problem is that my FreeBSD 6.0 (release) won't use the default route (gateway). So I can't access anything on the internet. Hardware and network equipment: Dell latitude D810 (Pentium M 2.0 GHz, 1.5 GB of primary memory, broadcom gigabit/fast/normal ethernet controller). The broadcom chip uses the bge driver. I have looked in the man page for that and no troubles or something like that is mentioned. IPv4 address: 192.168.0.228 /25 The gateway is a netgear RP614 broadband router. IPv4: 192.168.0.199 /25 Also a windows 2003 server is acting as DNS-server for my network. FreeBSD shares the computer with windows XP pro SP2 using dual boot. In windows it works fine so this convince me that it's a software problem in FreeBSD. As said, it works perfectly fine inside the LAN, but not outside. I include a dmesg output (at the bottom) if that is of any importance and also output from ifconfig, netstat -nr, ping and traceroute. I was logged in as root while testing this. Notice that because I'm using an internal DNS-server I can do lookups. Obviously that wouldn't have been possible with the DNS-server provided by my ISP. I don't see anything obviously wrong with the configuration info you sent below. The problem you are having is more likely in the router you are using, but without that configuration info, it's impossible to tell. Are you using dhcp to assign IP addresses? If so, is the router doing that job or something else? Since you mentioned that it works when you boot into windows, are the network settings the same? (IP, netmask, default route ,etc) or is windows configured to use something different? How is NAT configured in the router? Does it's configuration cover the 192.168.0.228 address? -Glenn Problem is solved! Sometimes oneself must be told to re-think what you think you already have though of ;-) (I'm not using DHCP for the record) The network settings for the broadcom controller wasn't the same in windows, but the same as the intel p/w 2915 wireless controller in windows. IP for broadcom in windows was 192.168.0.225 /25 and .228 for the wireless. My conclusion is that the netgear RP614 played along fine in the LAN. For example I had no problem accessing it's web-interface. BUT when it comes to do NAT:ing it must have remembered the MAC of .228 (since I had used windows right before freebsd) and the NAT function of it refuse to understand that it has to use another MAC for sending back information. After changing the broadcom controller's IP in freebsd to 192.168.0.225 /25 it works perfectly. Thanks to you all for your replys.

This is the format of the command with the service tag added: set device PPPoE::service_tag(in your case = rl0) The is the FBSD interface name used by PPPoE. The interface must be UP (IE: enabled).

Re: ipfw divert with exception?

You can see the matching process by adding 'log' to the rule:
ipfw log add 70 allow tcp from 10.0.1.254 to any
Last thing to check: traffic runs both ways, so you may need to have two
rules instead of one.

Subject: ipfw divert with exception?
I have a FreeBSD 6.0 machine acting as a router for our office. We use
natd for address translation, and I have rule like so:
ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via ${ext_if}
To allow incoming SSH access, I have a redirect_port line setup in my
/etc/natd.conf file, and while it works just fine, I don't like that
natd has to be running in order for me to SSH into the server.
(Because, if -- hypothetically of course -- one were to *cough*
accidentally kill the natd process without realizing this, then
*ahem*, one would be locked out remotely without any means of fixing
it. And I'd like to stress that this situation is indeed, uh,
hypothetical. ;) )
So, I'm sure there is a way for me to create some ipfw rules above the
divert line to accept incoming SSH traffic and not having it get
diverted, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how I can achieve this. The
current rule I have above this does not do anything to stop the
traffic from being diverted:
ipfw add accept tcp from any to any 22 in via ${ext_if}
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Of course if it can write them one would expect it is designed to be able to read them -- but it may be out of spec. or have deteriorated since manufacture.

If you play a movie file from the hard disk does the same thing happen? Is this full screen or not? What is the laptop make and model?

You should be able to set this through resources: For example in .Xdefaults add: Rxvt*termName: rxvt-unicode Seems this applies to both rxvt and urxvt, To target urxvt specifically use: URxvt*termName: rxvt-unicode Looking at the Makefile in the rxvt-unicode port I find: CONFIGURE_ARGS= --enable-shared --enable-everything \ --with-term=rxvt Which I would guess changes the default from rxvt-unicode to rxvt probably because rxvt-unicode is not normally available in the termcap file. You could also consider modifying the Makefile and rebuilding the port.
