I did install by putting 5.1-RELEASE on the 8100 via ftp and then cvsup'ing sources. The only boot error message I'm getting is that the AC97 version is not recognized (it was recognized for a while). I don't use sound, however. Same story with a Supermicro P6DGH/dual PIII/850. I did discover that if you try to back down from 5.2-CURRENT to 5.2-RC then KDE fails unless it is recompiled. There have been library changes since 5.2-RELEASE separated from 5.2-CURRENT, and my attempt to do a portupgrade -af failed. (I've moved back to 5.2-CURRENT since both systems are development; I intend to move my nat and NFS boxes to 5.2-RELEASE so I can use the same NFS everywhere and get away from the lockd/statd issues.

Hi, This problem even appears when installing the OS though sysinstall. Disabeling acpi was the solution. Greetings Lucio On 0, "Michael L.

Re: 1024x768 on a toshiba 8100 tecra in a text (Non X) Console screen
Hi, I seems indeed that only the VESA_800x600 can be set. I had hopes that this would not be the case.. Anyway right know I am having too many system freezes when trying to start X.. most of the time starting X will just freeze the whole system. But that is another issue since I am using 5.2 RC2 and this is not the right place to discuss this. I use FreeBSD for server (Proxy, DNS, DHCP etc) purposes for I am used to it an knows how to tweak it for very high performance. I work the whole day with a text interface so I want something different when at home. I want it to be easy enough to setup without the need to recompile or set any special settings in for instance device.hints or loader.conf. I used to use Apple for this and later on Windows..

All my previous attempts to send this message failed cause my ISP's SMTP server is blocked: The following message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was undeliverable.

1024x768 on a toshiba 8100 tecra in a text (Non X) Console screen
First of all the best wishes for all of you. I have seen people puzzling with the following before but never saw a definitive answer on the topic. I have FreeBSD 5.2 on a toshiba tecra 8100 with the following in /boot/loader.conf. snd_pcm_load="YES" # Digital sound subsystem snd_ds1_load="YES" # ds1 vesa_load="YES" # Set this to YES to load the vesa module # splash_bmp_load="YES"# Set this to YES for bmp splash screen! bitmap_load="YES"# Set this to YES if you want splash screen! bitmap_name="/boot/daemon.bmp" # Set this to the name of the bmp or pcx file # console="vidconsole" # Set the current console I want to be able to use my full screen in text (Not X) mode. Right now the standard resolution is 640x480 and I would like to get it to 1024x768. When I do a "vidcontrol -i mode" I get plenty of resolution options presented. One of them : 261 (0x105) 0x000f G 1024x768x8 18x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xf000 8192k "vidcontrol -g 1024x768x8" will not give me error messages but the screen resolution doesn't change. This is a piece of my dmesg output : VESA: v2.0, 8192k memory, flags:0x0, mode table:0xc0a01c82 (122) VESA: S3 Incorporated. M7 BIOS In case some of you might wonder where you can get splash screens, this is where I got mine : http://www.baldwin.cx/splash/.
