PKGNG
What is the status of pkgng. The handbook says to use it but else were it says that the repos are empty due to a security incident last November. Are there beta repos hidden somewhere that can be used? The reason I ask is I want to install packages like Gimp and LibreOffice which will take a fortnight on my laptop to compile. I tried pkg_add but that broke everything when I updated to 9.2.

Re: Intel graphics card brightness control issue
I get a "Unknown object type '0'" error. Which interestingly enough is very similar to the error I get when I use xbacklight "No outputs have backlight property". I have a Lenovo Thinkpad x230. I will start playing around with acpidump after work. Ethan House On Wed, Sep 4, 2013 at 1:30 AM, Matthias Petermann wrote: > Hi Ethan, > > Zitat von "Ethan W.

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"
