M audio 24/96 driver
Has anyone successfully got a Maudio Delta 24/96 soundcard working in 6.0 or 5.4 for that matter? If so, what sound driver or kernel parameters where used? Help is much appreciated...i think this is the only thing holding me back from moving my workstation to FreeBSD (currently running linux). Google only yields people asking the same questions.

gxine seg fault
Anybody ever get a segmentation fault (core dump) whenever going to full screen while playing a dvd with gxine? xine works though...that's really wierd. I tried to run through the dump with bug buddy but it keeps freezing. This happens no matter what video plugin i select and nearly every time i go to fullscreen. There is no error generated in a terminal. While googling i found a bloke who had the same problem but no solution was found...So i'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. FreeBSD newbie. gxine installed from an up to date ports tree. Please helpAnd thanks.

loader.conf question
Got k3b installed and trying to sort out some issues. This is a 6.0RC1 with a custom kernel box. In /boot/loader.conf i pass a 'load_atapicam=YES'. This is the only argument there...but its not working. Once booted if I simply 'kldload atapicam' everything works like a charm -- scanbus, k3b (minus permissions but that's not the issue right now). What gives? Why is my system skipping the loader.conf? Where else should i put the argument?

A simple ports question...
How would you install a port that had dependencies that were older than identical items on your system? For example, you install portx that requires depend1.1 -- you have depend1.2 on your system. Running 'make install clean' will generate an error code stating that you have an OLDER version -- despite the fact that you actually have a newer version. I believe this is simply because version numbers don't match. 'FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER' will install and register the older version as well as the newer version. THis is less than desirable behavior. I looked through the ports man page to find a variable that would ignore dependencies. If such a variable exists would the port most likely still run (assuming all dependencies are present albeit newer versions)?

Re: A simple ports question...
Thanks for the reply... My ports tree is up to date -- i believe the problem (if you want to call it that) is that I installed gnome 2.12 from package at marcuscom (on a 6.0 RC1 system -- i needed 6.0 for some HW issues). I therefore have newer versions of certain files than many of the ports in the current tree are expecting. Does this sound like a reasonable explanation? Your answer is the one everyone has been telling me for the last week. And i truly appreciate the response. I keep thinking i'm asking the question wrong :) I would understand this answer if the dependencies i had were OLDER than what the port was looking for...but I have a NEWER version. For example, while installing pan2 it needs glib-2.6.6. I have glib-2.8.3. How can i properly get this port installed? === Installing for glib-2.6.6 === glib-2.6.6 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.7 - found === glib-2.6.6 depends on executable: pkg-config - found === glib-2.6.6 depends on shared library: intl - found === Generating temporary packing list === Checking if devel/glib20 already installed === An older version of devel/glib20 is already installed (glib-2.8.3) You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/glib20 without deleting it first, set the variable FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in your environment or the make install command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/glib20. *** Error code 1 Thanks, I'm really not trying to beat a dead horse here. I have read all relevant sections of the handbook and man pages but the obvious seems to be escaping me. I truly appreciate the help mak.

newbie ports question
I seem to be getting myself in trouble repeatedly...I'm sure someone can help... Fresh install of 6.0 RC1, gnome 2.12 from marcus's tb, freshly cvsupped ports. I need to install some little apps like gaim and pan. when running 'make install clean' for these ports i'll get a message that the correct version of port X is not installed. Problem is make says i need a newer version but the version numbers indicate i've got a newer version than what its looking for. Then a little part about 'FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER.' There is an example of this below this message. If i use this it will install the older version of the dependencies or at least register them. I say this on the last system that i hosed...2 copies of the same package would be registered. Not good. How should i *properly* install these ports? As in what's not going to get me in trouble? === Installing for glib-2.6.6 === glib-2.6.6 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.7 - found === glib-2.6.6 depends on executable: pkg-config - found === glib-2.6.6 depends on shared library: intl - found === Generating temporary packing list === Checking if devel/glib20 already installed === An older version of devel/glib20 is already installed (glib-2.8.3) You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.

If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/glib20 without deleting it first, set the variable FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in your environment or the make install command line. I'd start with installing portupgrade, and trying to portupgrade -arR. I'm sure there's another solution, though. What good will portupgrade it do here? Obviously I must not properly understand what its doing...but in the error message I have a newer version of the dependency than the port calls for and the port misidentifies this. If there was a newer port of say 'pan' that had newer dependencies .. ie. the one's i already have than i'd be golden. But why wouldn't cvsup'ing take care of that? Like i said...you're dealing with a newb here. I am obviously missunderstanding something... Installing (and using) portupgrade is a good idea; unfortunately, it will not stop you from getting bit by this problem occasionally. My quick fix: pd /usr/ports/devel/glib20 make deinstall make install assuming in stall finished correctly make distclean popd (Assumes *csh as the shell.) Robert Huff Can we teach a man to fish here? I with you until after 'deinstall'. What does make distclean and popd do? Googled a bit and got unsatisfactory answers. I am simply using the default shell. This is how i got in trouble before...make deinstall and then make install clean of glib20. Then gnome will be unable to start complaining of missing a libgtk.so.o file (that's not the exact name). Since there was a new rc1 and i was just experimenting i blew the install away and went with the new. I'm not too keen on doing that again...

Firefox problem...another newbie question
Been messing with FreeBSD for a week and a half or so now. Getting my laptop all setup to play DVDs and something wierd happened to Firefox (probably unrelated I know). As an aside, xine works well but i'm not a fan of the gui, gxine core dumps a few seconds after going fullscreen or toggling a couple of times. They use the same engine right? Wierd...both installed from recently upgraded ports tree on a gnome 2.12 6.0-beta5 system. The firefox problem... I can replicate this as at will and epiphany works fine. If i click a .tbz file or something that calls another app and i get a core dump.
