motd not compiled properly or ?
Hi there, I have compiled myself a RELENG_7 stable version of 7 branch. I did a fresh install on 7.1_prerelease, and cvsup -g -L 2 stable-xxx-cvsup-file make buildworld, everything goes as it should. reboot, mergemaster command shows on file motd --7.1_PRERELEASE ++7??:??:?? rest of motd is the same now, based on the above showed result, I pressed d to keep original version, because I don't want to have a system message shows 7:??:??:?? Now my question is, how do I just compile the motd in source tree, and reinstall just that? Maybe recompile it may make it shows proper version string. Or if there's a method beside make buildworld again, it takes ages on my laptop. -- --l_.

I have a problem with my newly installed Freebsd6.3. I use USB keyboard and mouse, when start it all goes well, but after system boot process initalize usb2 controllers, both my keyboard and mouse disappear. I have to physically unplug them and plug them in again to use them. I have ums_load=YES and ukbd_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf, but not seems to solve the issue. PS. when I plug both keyboard and mouse into an external usb hub, it works seamlessly.

laptop with another monitor X configuration
Hi experts, I am looking a way to use both the laptop native lcd monitor and another CRT monitor. I pluged in the monitor, nothing happens. I can only switch between them by pressing the Fn+monitorSwitch button on my keyboard. I modified /etc/X11/XF86Config, as in the attachment. I have changed few sections according to some resources I found by googling. Has anyone got the same situation, please send me a copy of your XF86Config or Xorg config file. Thanks in advanced.

disabling ACPI
Hi all, Since I updated my box to 5-STABLE, I have ACPI problem, and I sort of unlike it. So I am wondering how to disable acpi at startup? And also, when I added apm to kernel, after restart with acpi disabled, it says that /dev/apm does not exist, what would be the problem and how to add apm into /dev/apm?

about the tmpmfs=YES in rc.conf
Hi guys, I have just upgraded to 5-stable branch, and I noticed that the tmpmfs=YES and tmpsize=20m options can be put into /etc/rc.conf directly to create a memory file system automatically. My question is do I need to comment out the line to mount tmp on startup in the file /etc/fstable if I added those two options above into rc.conf?

Re: about the tmpmfs=YES in rc.conf
I've just added those two options into /etc/rc.conf and commented out the line in /etc/fstab. It works! :) df -h output is : Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on ... ... /dev/md031M 16k 28M0%/tmp I am just wondering what would be the mfs size that suitable for me? I have PIII 850 256MB laptop.

Yesterday, I have committed a couple of enhancements to the tmpmfs in CURRENT. If you plan on using tmpmfs=YES, mail me privately and I'll tell you how to merge the changes with your existing setup once the tmpmfs stuff is merged from CURRENT to RELENG_5 (in a few days). My question is do I need to comment out the line to mount tmp on startup in the file /etc/fstable if I added those two options above into rc.conf? Do you have a separate disk partition that is mounted as /tmp? If yes, then mounting an md file system over /tmp will probably conflict with your current setup and you'll have to remove the entry from fstab (or at least comment it out, while you are checking the tmpmfs stuff). - Giorgos ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I suspect it will make a HUGE difference where your /usr/obj tree is stored though. yes, I've read this in the handbook, /usr/obj shadows /usr/src directories. Cool :) But how can I put it into memory? Using mdmfs(8). The mdmfs(8) utility is what does all the work behind the tmpmfs=YES option in rc.conf. I've found this url http://bsdvault.net/sections.php?op=viewarticleartid=53 very helpful. But I got only 256Mb of memory, so I can't mount 300Mb mfs into RAM. And therefore I can only mount 128Mb or so. Well in this case, would there be a memory overflow during make world? And what to do if this is the case?
