You could use the default method: /etc/X11/xorg.conf which is designed to _centralize_ X-related settings. Keyboard settings can also be put there. For example, this is what I use to define a german keyboard layout (and which applies everywhere in X, as intended): Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout de Option XkbOptionsterminate:ctrl_alt_bksp EndSection You can employ this approach, changing it to swedish language. Note that I'm using the X setup without HAL and DBUS here. Additionally, there's the method of using xmodmap with a custom ~/.xmodmaprc file which can be used to make keyboard language settings work _independently_ from both xorg.conf and XML files scattered across the local/ subtree. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Ports Libraries - Shared object libz.so.5 not found
I'm on 9.0 Release AMD64 and did not have Compat8x installed from ports which fixed the issue, but I am wondering what (apart from upgrading *all* ports) would be the correct approach to find out which port needs to be updated so that whatever references the libz.so.5 version instead of libz.so.6 gets updated? This is very confusing to me because I got the error with php, and I am on the very latest php5-5.3.10_1 version which I would expect to reference current libraries. Now I also have a problem with libssl.so.7, which popped up with Samba36. Again I'm wondering what version provides the .7 incarnation. I found a comment (http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=21886) that this library is part of security/openssl but a reinstall just now of openssl only gave me libssl.so.8, so that's no longer valid. Creating a link to libssl.so.7 fixes the problem but is probably not the correct approach. I guess the summary of the above is the question how one should go about keeping/getting the right library versions. Or is that really a port problem because they do not keep step with dependencies? An explanation in layman's terms would be appreciated :-) Thanks, Caro ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Yes you should rebuild the samba36 port so that it links against the new libssl.so.8 library. I ran into a few of these when upgrading from openssl-1.0.0_10 to openssl-1.0.1, I also believe I hit the libcrypto.so.7 missing as well. I temporary linked them as you did, then rebuilt all ports just to be safe. if you use portmaster to update ports, doing a -r on the openssl port would have recompiled all the ports dependent on it. However in my case it blew up because of these missing libraries, adding a -w (causes shared libraries to be kept) as well resolved this on the additional machines I updated. -- Thanks, Dean E.

RE: LaCie P'9230 Is Not Recognized
I went out and got a LaCie P'9230 drive, an external USB 3.0/2.0 2TB drive (http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?id=10559). FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE #5 running on an Intel D845GEBV2L motherboard does not recognize it.

I've used a variety of smaller external LaCie USB 2.0 drives with this motherboard successfully in the past. A link at the LaCie web site (http://www.lacie.com/more/index.htm?id=10112) indicates that a driver needs to be installed on a Mac in order to realize true USB 3.0 speeds. Does this mean that for me to use this drive, I need a special driver? I've consulted the hardware compatibility list but it appears to not have been updated to reflect newer hardware. Any advice would be appreciated. So I sent an email to Technical Support. They basically said they do not support any OSes other than Windows and Mac OS X and not even Windows Server. That was expected. That said, are there any USB 3.0/2.0 2TB drives that you are currently using with FreeBSD 9.0 or even 8.3? ~Doug ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
editor that understands CTRL/B, CTRL/I, CTRL/U
My daughter is doing a touch typing course that presumes MS Word. So far she was fine with pico, but now they want the kids to practice CTRL/B (bold), CTRL/I (italic), CTRL/U (underline). She really needs to use these particular combinations because that is how the on-line assessment tool is set out. I use nothing but vi, so have no clue which, if any, editor from ports/editors will have these particular combinations implemented. Please recommend one, preferably as simple and as small as possible.

pxegrub + FreeBSD install
Hi All,
I am attempting to build FreeBSD 8.x-RELEASE over the network via PXE.
I chain pxegrub to pxelinux and load the FreeBSD kernel and mfsroot
through pxegrub with the following:
menuentry freebsd-x86_64 {
kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel
kfreebsd_loadenv /boot/device.hints
kfreebsd_module /boot/mfsroot.gz type=mfs_root
set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/md0c
}
The mfsroot.gz is from the installation DVD with a couple of scripts
and an install.cfg which result in a non-interactive install. I set
variables necessary to allow sysinstall to retrieve the expected
files. The variables (previously) are populated as follows:
server=`kenv -q boot.nfsroot.server`
mac=`kenv -q boot.netif.hwaddr`
ip=`kenv -q boot.netif.ip`
nm=`kenv -q boot.netif.netmask`
gw=`kenv -q boot.netif.gateway`
name=`kenv -q dhcp.host-name`
route=`kenv -q dhcp.routers`
The mfsroot.gz does not see these as set when the environment loads
through pxegrub. If I load the environment through pxeboot.bs, the
variables populate ok. Unfortunately, with pxeboot.bs I experience
extremely high tftp failure rates when compared to pxegrub.
My question is how should I populate these variables in the mfsroot.gz
when loading via pxegrub?

Take care
