Re: splash screen on amd64?
I could never get this to work either and was wondering if I was doing something wrong. Thanks for clearing that up.

PS/2 mice suddenly stopped working
I just turned on today and my ps/2 mouse (actually SB with a ps/2 adapter) was not working. Tried reconfiguring in sysinstall to no avail. Tried another pure ps/2 mouse and it didn't work either. Took off the usb-ps/2 adapter off the original mouse, plugged it in a usb port, and now it works. Everything used to work just the day before. I guess it's possible something could be wrong with the port (which would be sad since the motherboard is probably 2-3 weeks old) Does anyone have any ideas on how to test this? I don't have another OS on this box and installing one won't be easy. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Realtek 811B LAN card on FreeBSD 7.0
A few months ago, I posted asking about how good support the Realtek 8111B PCI Express LAN chipset is. The conclusion was that its behavior was rather flaky on FreeBSD 7.0 Anyway, I got the motherboard with the chip integrated because the MOBO otherwise did what I needed. After installation of FreeBSD/i386 the chip was detected and the re driver attached but DHCP configuration wouldn't work. After searching on the internet, I found some patches at http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/2007-December/010545.html http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/if_re.c http://people.freebsd.org/%7Eyongari/re/if_re.c http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/if_rlreg.h http://people.freebsd.org/%7Eyongari/re/if_rlreg.h and applied them. After rebuilding the kernel, everything worked. Shortly after I decided I was going to run the FreeBSD/amd64 version instead. I had not kept the patches that worked on i386, so I downloaded from the same URL again. However, this time, applying the patch resulted in no change: DHCP configuration still wouldn't work. Now, I'm not sure what variable is responsible for this, the change to amd64 or whether there was another version of the patch. Interestingly, in the thread where I found those links, people were running amd64 and had their problems resolved. I noticed that the version of if_re.c file was 107 the second time whereas the post said it was 101. I'm guessing the file was updated at the URL and this resulted in a regression. The problem is, I'm not in a position to say exactly which version worked. Is there anyone on the list close to this work and would have an idea of what happened? I am currently using a PCI lan card that works with the rl driver but it would be nice to have the integrated chip work too. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Realtek 8111B LAN Chipset
I'm buying parts for a computer and want to make sure that the core components are as freebsd friendly as possible. So far, I've decided on a core 2 quad q6600 and I'm choosing the motherboard now. However it seems many of the popular motherboards have Realtek ALC888 as built-in audio and Realtek 8111B as built-in LAN. I read at: http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/hardware/i386/article.html that the sound should work but I couldn't find any info on the LAN. Does anyone on the list have any experience with it? By the way, I'm going to run FreeBSD 7. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why does the linux emulation pick 2.4.2 as the kernel version number to report (by default) and not 2.6.11 (their kernel version shipped with Fedora 4)?

I tried getting flash to work in FreeBSD so many times and failed. It wasn't a big deal but it was annoying to have to boot into another system if there is content I needed to see that happens to be flash. I'm running FreeBSD 7 Beta4. I just did what you said: cd /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin7 make config-recursive install clean nspluginwrapper -v -a -i After that a flash content was playing in firefox. Unfortunately my AudigyLS soundcard only works with oss, which is having some problems now, so I was not able to verify that sound works well. By the way, I had some problems installing flash7 from ports a few days ago. It didn't like the size of the file and would fail even if you downloaded from Adobe and copied to ports/disfiles. I later did a 'portsnap fetch update' that must have gotten updated makefiles and fixed that problems. Anybody else with that issue should try updating the ports collection. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
