Re: OT: Cable management
Jorn Argelo [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/26 3:25 PM Main point is, I want to get rid of VGA cables, power cables, PS2 cables, USB cables etcetera. So I have more use of a big cable gutter then a patch panel. Jorn, Sounds like you're a good candidate for a KVM switch, if you have more than one computer in the same workspace. I'd recommend looking on eBay for Cybex KVM switches.

OT: Cable management
Hey all, I need to come up with a good solution for managing cables. Basically, I've got a $500 budget, and about 26 systems to deal with. I have ten wires that I'll be dealing with. The PC sits on top of the desktop, and cables are fed through a hole in the desk to a power strip on the ground. All the peripherals are also on the desk, and those wires are haphazardly spilling out behind the computer. I know my verbal description won't necessarily help too much when it comes to picking a solution, but I'd like to hear what products and solutions any of you use. Any ideas will be helpful.

Problems with make world
I keep my source up to date using cvsup. However, I've recently encountered errors when building my world. In particular, the make buildworld breaks while attempting to build groff. I've sent several emails from my home email address, but they keep bouncing. I don't have the exact error message with me at work; I'll have to send that tonight after work. However, I was curious to see if anyone else had problems building their world and was experiencing the same problem. Any suggestions?

Re: missing ports; portsdb problem
Jim, I had the same problem. I think it was a tk port, if I recall correctly. The only way I could fix it was to rm -drv /usr/ports rm my refuse file, then cvsup again. After that, portsdb -Uu ran properly (though it took forever).

emu10k1 gamepad support
I'm currently running 4.10-STABLE, and I have a SB Live 5.1 card in my box. I've been dying to get my Microsoft Sidewinder gamepad working through the gamepad/MIDI port. However, I couldn't figure out how to get the joy device working properly. The original code appeared to support an ISA device, but this is a PCI card. I have a license for OSS, so I've been using that for sound support for the past two weeks. Dev informed me that OSS enables the joystick port on the gamepad, but doesn't load a driver for it. I'm kinda stuck right now. I can read code, but I don't know enough C to actually write sophisticated code by myself, much less port drivers. I'd like to find a driver that will interact with the OSS drivers, but I'd also like to work on finding a driver that will interact with the default pcm driver, so that individuals who wish to use FreeBSD's native sound system can benefit from having gamepad support. Dev recommended I look into porting the emu10k1-gp driver to FreeBSD. I had also seen a patch floating around a while ago on Usenet for modifying the actual joy driver, but that didn't really get me anywhere. Does anybody have any suggestions? Any help would be welcome. If anybody is porting/has ported/is willing to port gamepad drivers to FreeBSD, that would definitely make my day. I'd like to help the FreeBSD project move forward with its multimedia support. Once I can get PCI gamepad support running, I won't have any reasons to boot into Windows anymore, and I'm sure my sentiment is shared.

Re: ipfilter allowing samba
Hey Dave, You need to allow exceptions in ipfilter for ports 137 to 139. The following rules should work: pass in quick on ed0 proto tcp from 192.168.0.0/16 to 192.168.0.1/32 port = 137 keep state pass in quick on ed0 proto tcp from 192.168.0.0/16 to 192.168.0.1/32 port = 138 keep state pass in quick on ed0 proto tcp from 192.168.0.0/16 to 192.168.0.1/32 port = 139 keep state Where 192.168.0.0 is your network and 192.168.0.1 is your server IP.

Re: xmms will only play 1 mp3 and then stop

If I click the play button it just blinks the display and show 00:00. This is the case with selected mp3's from a directory or a play list. The only way to play another mp3 is to exit out of X and restart X. I encountered a similar problem. I think it has to do with the way artsd interacts with sound sockets produced by xmms. I'd pretty much fixed the problem by using the command artsdsp xmms when running xmms, and then setting the output plugin to esd. I had problems with the oss plugin, and the native artsd plugin was similarly ineffective. A number of programmers have commented on the cumbersome nature of artsd, but I haven't explored the nature of their complaints in depth.

Re: how to get two IPs from DHCP for one NIC
DHCP relies on the MAC address of your NIC. Hence, you can't have two IPs to one NIC. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
