Intel graphics card brightness control issue
What could be causing my brightness control to not work on my Intel graphics card. The acpi values change but no effect takes place. ehouse@derpy ~ $ sudo sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness=50 hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness: 100 - 50 ehouse@derpy ~ $ sudo sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=1 hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active: 0 - 0 I also have an issue were upon resume by machine reboots. I believe the two might be related but I am not sure. I found a couple of other email chains with similar issues but most of them have been inactive for more then a year. --- Ethan House ___ 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

Network startup with age Ethernet device
Hi, I want to set-up a small server from an Asus P5L-MX motherboard. It has an onboard gigabit Ethrnet that works with the driver age. Problem is that at boot, I experience the interface to go up and down a couple of times, and it is usually down when Apache try to start, so Apache would not start (nor ntpd). I resolved to add a 5 seconds sleep in /etc/rc.d/netif but there may be a more elegant way to solve that. Help is welcome. Thanks in advance, Olivier In the extract of /var/log/message below you can see 6 seconds delay between the ifconfig and the interface finally up and running. By that time ntpd and apache have failed starting. Sep 4 16:36:58 door kernel: Starting Network: lo0 age0 plip0.

Hi, To create a custom ISO, download the ISO you want to use as your base, use tar to extract the ISO into a new directory, make the changes you want and then run mkisofs -V FreeBSD9 -J -R -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -o ../freebsd_custom.iso . from the new directory.

Re: Question about a possible missing line/entry for file UPDATING (from http://svnweb.freebsd.org) - 8.4-RELEASE plus branches

Re: Question about a possible missing line/entry for file UPDATING (from http://svnweb.freebsd.org) - 8.4-RELEASE plus branches
However minor the issue seems, I think it warrants a PR, if at least so the entry is added for the next revision of 8.4-RELEASE. Regarding -STABLE, while I respect your decision to be conservative and run -RELEASE, I'd like to point out we've not run into any problem here, in over 3 years with ~40 firewall boxes.
