Asuming that you have installed Xor and KDE:
as root:
# Xorg -configure
this writes the guessed config as $HOME/xorg.conf.new
test it with:
# Xorg -config xorg.conf.new
copy it over to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and do as you (normal user):
% echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc
% startx

I'm facing a similiar problem in Xorg 6.9 and KDE 3.5.4: I tried to set some xmodmap values in my ~/.xinitrc before launching the KDE desktop, like: xmodmap -e "keycode 0x73 = Mode_switch" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x39 = n N ntilde Ntilde" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1a = e E eacute Eacute" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x26 = a A aacute Aacute" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1f = i I iacute Iacute" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1e = u U uacute Uacute" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x20 = o O oacute Oacute" ... exec startkde but when X is up the xmodmap's are not in affect.

problems with building a patch
Hello,
I've build a patch for 'nn-6.7.3' to add support for RFC1522 to my
beloved news-reader. Before giving it away I was trying it on a fresh
workspace of the /usr/ports/news/nn and run into the problem that
new files which brings the patch to the tree are always created
in the current working dir, even if I create them before with touch(1),
existing files, like 'answer.c' in the example below, get patched
correctly:
$ /usr/ports/news/nn/work
$ touch nn-6.7.3/PATCH.RFC1522
$ patch < ../myRFC1522.patch
Hmm... Looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:
--
|diff -N -r -u -X exclude nn-6.7.3/PATCH.RFC1522 nn-6.7.3.patched/PATCH.RFC1522
|--- nn-6.7.3/PATCH.RFC1522 Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 1970

I've read the man page of patch again and again; it explains the function of -pN but not this effect :-( matthias -- Matthias Apitz ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

For example, for the port 25 you see it with:
# lsof -P | fgrep :25
sendmail 6462 root3uIPv4 0xc5c3ecb00t0 TCP localhost:25
(LISTEN)
i.e. the PID is 6462

I'm as well participating for *many* years in technical mailing-lists or USENET and I'm strictly against top-posting. I think this problem (that people top-post or don't even know that they top-post because they don't know what top-posting is at all) has something todo with two phenomena: - the Internet in the 90es felled into the hands of non-technical backgrounded people; ask today someone what is a RFC, for an example; Netiquette Guidelines came outdated (for the newcomers) and they don't know them or even think, if they know, that they have something todo with the plain old days of modem lines and UUCP; - many of the MUA used by unskilled people are somewhat browser-based (OutLook, webmail, ...) and don't support a power-full line editor (like vi or emacs) to assemble and/or edit the mail body; the browser just put the write-mark above the 1st line of the mail, people write their stuff and are to lazy to scroll down, delete parts or whatever; many of them don't even know how to configure their MUA to do correct nesting with >>> signs; The only (week) technical argument in favour of top-post is that mail delivered to small wire-less devices (like mobile phones, hand helds) mostly only transfer the 1st 'screen' of such mail via UMTS or whatever transport layer and only if the reader wants to scroll down the rest of the mail is aired to the device. It should be easy in mailing-lists to block mails of top-posters. matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC PICA GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - w http://www.oclcpica.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

tangoGPS && FreeBSD 7.0
Hello, Is anybody aware of a port of tangoGPS http://www.tangogps.org/gps/cat/About to FreeBSD 7.0? It runs it in my Linux based cellphone Openmoko FreeRunner and it would be nice to have it as well in my eeePC (just for having better capacity for cached maps of OpenStreetMap and a bigger display). What kind of USB based GPS devices could be used in this eeePC with FreeBSD 7.0?

Yes, this works very nice; but for folks without a FR there should be choices as well, i.e. a small list of GPS gadgets which work with FreeBSD USB drivers; Concerning gpsd running on the FR, I encounter that tangoGPS tries to connect to 127.0.0.1 and not to the configured host 192.168.0.202; you have to press the GPSD button in tangoGPS config page to make it connect to the remote host; will check the sources for this bug/feature... matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ A computer is like an air conditioner, it stops working when you open Windows Una computadora es como aire acondicionado, deja de funcionar si abres Windows ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

error while printing from Java to CUPS
Hello, Some Java applications, like openproj for example, are unable to print to the CUPS printing system; this seems to be a know problem in Java and if you do a search in Don Google you will information and workarounds, like this, for example: http://www.magicdraw.com/main.php?ts=faq&cmd_show=1&menu=faq Diagram printing is not working on Linux OS The problem is related with the Linux cups package update. This problem is Sun Java bug and description of this problem is published in the Java Bug Database: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6633656. To solve diagram printing problem we would suggest to use 1.6.0_10 JVM or later, because this issue is solved in these java versions. If you can not use the 1.6.0_10 JVM or later, other possible solution would be the following: 1.Open the file /etc/cups/printers.conf 2.Before each line with the text , add the following line: Options orientation-requested 3 The referenced http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6633656 explain all the details of the bug... But: I've tried to insert the proposed change in /usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf but it does not help. This is with cups-base-1.3.9_3 in a 8-CURRENT. As well it says that there is a fix in Java in 1.6.0_10 or later... I have dk-1.6.0.3p4_10 and it seems no to be fixed :-( Any ideas? matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e - w http://www.unixarea.de/ Vote NO to EU The Lisbon Treaty: http://www.no-means-no.eu ___ 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"

Any delivery block to freebsd-questions list?
Hello, I have sent some hours ago a mail to freebsd-questions which went out fine to the MX of my ISP (as I can see in /var/log/maillog) but does not show up in the list and not in the Archives. The Subject: was about sendmail and SMTP AUTH. I have changed the ISP today morning for outbound mail and it may happen that this could be the cause, even if mails to other recipients are working fine... Is there some kind of anti-SPAM protection for freebsd-questions based on the IP of the SMTP origin? To whom I could contact?

sendmail && SMTP AUTH: question about /etc/mail/auth/client-info file
Hello,
Because I was forced by my ISP to do so, I have configured successfully
as described in the FBSD docs the sendmail with SMTP AUTH;
one question remains: the required file /etc/mail/auth/client-info has
the line:
AuthInfo:smtp.1blu.de "U:root" "I:Y" "P:X"
where the I: value is the userID given by the ISP and P: its password;
what does the U: value is good for exactly? thanks in advance

must /compat/linux stay in root-fs?

samba-libsmbclient-3.0.28 Shared libs from the samba package
I'm using Samba only to have access from a Windows XP in a virtual
machine (Qemu) on my laptop to the files in FreeBSD world and for
printing from XP to the CUPS in FreeBSD world. Worked all fine before in
FreeBSD 6.2R, but not in 7.0R. It says in /var/log/cups/error_log:
E [22/Mar/2008:10:12:40 +0100] Unsupported character set "iso-8859-1"!
I've digged into this and could make it work again by launching Samba in
an UTF8 environment, for example with:
# LANG=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba start
(or setting LANG=en_US.UTF-8 in the start script). Any comments on this?
Thanks in advance

problems with automake110
Hello,
I want to port some application (Ekiga) directly from their SVN to
FreeBSD 7.0R which is using
$ ./autogen.sh --with-pwlib-dir=/usr/local
to generate the configure / Makefiles and which fails; the problem seems
to be that 'aclocal' or some of the M4 macros used are not working as
they should:
$ LANG=C aclocal --dry-run
/usr/local/share/aclocal/smpeg.m4:13: warning: underquoted definition of
AM_PATH_SMPEG
/usr/local/share/aclocal/smpeg.m4:13: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
/usr/local/share/aclocal/smpeg.m4:13: or see
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
/usr/local/bin/gm4:/usr/local/share/aclocal/pilot-link.m4:1: ERROR: end of file
in string
autom4te-2.61: /usr/local/bin/gm4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal-1.10: autom4te failed with exit status: 1
$
Maybe something is mixed up in the various versions which have been
installed by all the ports:
$ pkg_info | fgrep automake
automake-1.10_3 GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.10)
automake-1.4.6_4GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.4)
automake-1.5_4,1GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.5)
automake-1.6.3 GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.6)
automake-1.7.9 GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.7)
automake-1.8.5 GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.8)
automake-1.9.6_2GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.9)
automake-wrapper-20071109 Wrapper script for GNU automake
gnome-common-2.20.0 Common automake macros for GNOME and GNOME 2
Could someone pls give me an idea how to solve this? Thx in advance

7.0-RELEASE && panic after ~4 hours
Hello,
Over the longs last weekend I've installed FreeBSD 7.0-REL on my laptop
and around 200 ports; I point this out to say that the laptop run
without any reboot from Friday morning to Monday evening at home in my
WEP based Wifi-zone;
on Thursday and today I'm working in my office from around 9 o'clock and
each day after 4 hours the system panic'ed:
Mar 25 09:02:43 rebelion syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel
Mar 25 13:00:03 rebelion savecore: reboot after panic: clist reservation botch
Mar 26 09:11:04 rebelion syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel
Mar 26 13:22:29 rebelion savecore: reboot after panic: page fault
the main difference between home and work is: WEP at home and WPA2 at
work;
as well I see in messages a lot of:
Mar 26 08:24:51 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 08:25:01 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting

Mar 26 09:48:58 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 10:54:08 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 12:04:13 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 12:21:17 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 12:37:43 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 12:54:17 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Before I was for more than a year on 6.2-REL and without any panic which
was not caused by pulling out the PCMCIA UMTS card; so I think it is not
a hardware issue;
Any comments?

sorry for not mention that:

when it will crash tomorrow again, I will try it some days without Wifi

Yes, I :-)
You can make SSH connection from the remote servers to your server
(bring them up at boot with RSA auth) and tunnel in them reverse the SSH
port, check the -R flag of ssh(1).
You can also setup OpenVPN as client on the remotes and server on the
your side.

compiling H.323 client Ekiga from its SVN repository
Hello, THIW, during the last few days I've started a porting of Ekiga, see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/net/ekiga/pkg-descr http://www.ekiga.org/ directly from the SVN repository (and not from the FreeBSD's ports collection); the reason was mainly driven by the hope of staying with the cutting edge of Ekiga and get support of codec H.264 to make H.323 video conf calls to the central video conferencing system we are using in my company; work is still in progress, but if someone is interested in the actual port (or in debugging :-)), the work is described here: http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compile_your_own_SVN_version_of_Ekiga_on_FreeBSD matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ Don't top-post, read RFC1855 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

7.0R && freemind 0.8.1 crashes randomly
Hello,
I'm used to use 'freemind' (and used 0.8.0 a lot in FreeBSD 6.2); since
the update to 7.0-REL and freemind as 0.8.1 from ports it is unusable
because it crashes randomly, sometimes it does not even comes up without
any message, sometimes it crashes by its own while I'm working in some
other part of the KDE 3.5.8 desktop; does someone face the same problem?
thanks in advance for a tip;

I have 'make install'ed /usr/ports/java/jdk15 and adjusted the the
launcher script /usr/local/bin/freemind to its Java engine:
JAVA_VERSION="1.4+" "/usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java" -cp "${CLASSPATH}"
freemind.main.FreeMind "${FILE}"
works now without any crash so far;

VMware-server-1.0.5 on Linux host && console on FreeBSD
Hello, I've installed VMware-server-1.0.5 on some box running Linux (SuSE Enterprise 8); this VMware-server brings a console which connects to port 901 (default) and you can manage your virtual machines in the server with some graphical tool; as usual the VMware-server is only available for Windows and Linux, but I was hoping that the console is just VNC and I could manage it with, for example, vncviewer from my FreeBSD laptop -- no look, they use some other protocol; the console on Linux is just some scripting which launches a GTK application: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh /usr/lib/vmware/lib /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware /usr/lib/vmware/libconf and it could be that one could it make happy on FreeBSD too; has someone tried this out? or is there some other way to get this console running on BSD? thx in advance matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ Don't top-post, read RFC1855 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

I've had the same problem around 5th of April when I installed a 7.0-R in the laptop of my wife, after doing 'portsnap fetch & update'; it turned out that glib20 was installed as glib-2.14.2; I went to /usr/ports/devel/glib20 removed the pkg and installed it as fresh as 2.16.x; this helped; don't know (and understand) how the older glib20 came to the system, maybe as part of the basis system; on next fresh install I will have a closer look what gets installed with the OS; hope it helps you matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ Don't top-post, read RFC1855 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

measure traffic caused by pppd (UMTS)
Hello,
Sometimes when I travel around and can't see any usable WLAN I'm using
the UMTS and PPPD, which works well but of course one must pay for this;
Is there some tool which I could put into /etc/ppp/ip_down script which
logs the traffic done into some file; I see /usr/ports/net/ppptraf which
comes without any documentation and is curses based :-(
any other ideas?
I'm not interested in any analysis about to which location the traffic
goes or about speed and bandwidth; just
- cmd line based with output to a file or stdout
- the amount of bytes/megabytes in and out;
thx in advance

Thanks for that hint. I'm thinking in buying such a device to have it with me as a typewriter, mostly; normally I use FreeBSD 7.0-REL on my laptop with around 200 compiled ports: KDE, OpenOffice, Lyx, StarDict, ... the compilation normally takes 2-3 days to have it all ready; of course, on that limited device with 4 or 8 GByte SSD it is not an option to compile the stuff up from /usr/ports on the system itself, not only from the point of view of disk space, but also because of the limited lifetime write cycles of the SSD; in short: what would be the easiest way to move the installed ports from my laptop to such an Eee PC? can I make, for example, packages from my ports and install them?

Thanks for your hint concerning pkg_create. I've stumbled over this as well and we must not only create a given package, but also all the packages from which it depends with for example: # pkg_create -Rb stardict-2.4.8_5 this gave me in this example 144 packages in the current dir; I run it twice to see if pkg_create detects that a given dependency is already there or if it will rebuild the package, and it does rebuild them; this means if I run pkg_create for the 200 ports I've compiled (even if I let out what perhaps I don't need on the smaller EeePC it is a lot of stuff), it will do a lot of work twice; is there a way to let pkg_create check if the pkg is already built and there? as well one must be very carefully with modifications in the installed packages; I have, for example, just renamed /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd.sh and pkg_create is now complaining and stopping because the file /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd is missing; I will take this in consideration from now; thx for the hint anyway; its now clear that I will go this way (and buy the beast :-)) matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ «...una sola vez, que es cuanto basta si se trata de verdades definitivas.» «...only once, which is enough if it has todo with definite truth.» José Saramago, Historia del Cerca de Lisboa ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

In this Wiki page they show already a model 900 with up to 20 GByte SSD;
maybe it's a good idea to go for this model, even if it is a bit more
expensive (~400 euros):

FWHIW, such quirks are also shown in http://wiki.freebsd.org/WebcamCompat
and once your webcam is working fine it could show up there too;

Fwd: microSD && ext3 file system
Hello, I have some trouble with a microSD card (or with the controler) in my Linux based cellphone (Openmoko Freerunner). One of the hints I got is to check the microSD card with a Linux tool badblocks(8) http://linux.die.net/man/8/badblocks As I do not have Linux boxes at home, I looked into our ports with no luck for badblocks... Is there some equivalent in FreeBSD which I could use to check /dev/da0 (as this the microSD is presented in my laptop) for bad 'sectors'? FWIW, I've found as well this very interesting article: https://lwn.net/Articles/428584/ which says for example: «... In contrast, the more common SD cards and USB flash drives are very sensitive to specific access patterns and can show very high latencies for writes unless they are used with the preformatted FAT32 file layout. As an example, a desktop machine using a 16 GB, 25 MB/s CompactFlash card to hold an ext3 root filesystem ended up freezing the user interface for minutes during phases of intensive block I/O, despite having gigabytes of free RAM available. Similar problems often happen on small embedded and mobile machines that rely on SD cards for their file systems. ...» Thanks matthias - Forwarded message from Matthias Apitz - Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2012 19:52:40 +0200 From: Matthias Apitz To: commun...@lists.openmoko.org Subject: microSD && ext3 file system Hello, After some hours of testing I'm now totally lost with creating an ext3 file system on a (new) 4GB micro SD card. Using my FR (running SHR) I created one new partition on the SD with fdisk(1) and it looks like this: root@om-gta02 ~ # fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0 Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 3953 MB, 3953131520 bytes 4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 120640 cylinders Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0aecb0ac Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/mmcblk0p1 1 120640 3860472 83 Linux Then I created the ext3 file system on it with: root@om-gta02 ~ # mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1 mke2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 241440 inodes, 965118 blocks 48255 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=989855744 30 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 8048 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736 Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (16384 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 32 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first.

Show us /var/log/Xorg.0.log with the hanging X (just go to another alpha
console or login remotely);
check the proc hierarchy in your system, mine is like this:
$ ps axl | fgrep 2194

i.e. xinit (2194) launches X (2195) and a shell (2198) for startkde;
which process does not terminate for you;

mounting ext2fs
Hello,
I'm trying to mount an ext2fs in 10-CURRENT with:
# fdisk /dev/da0
*** Working on device /dev/da0 ***
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=486 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=486 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 131 (0x83),(Linux native)
start 235, size 996117 (486 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ head 3/ sector 47;
end: cyl 988/ head 7/ sector 7
The data for partition 2 is:
...
# mount -t ext2fs /dev/da0s1 /mnt
mount: /dev/da0s1 : Invalid argument
# ls -l /dev/da0s1
crw-r- 1 root operator 0x66 18 abr 11:33 /dev/da0s1
# kldload ext2fs
kldload: can't load ext2fs: File exists
What I'm doing wrong. The filesystem itself is fine in Linux.
Thanks

Thanks; it works fine if one specifies utf8 for input and ascii for output in a config file .tidy like: $ cat .tidy output-xhtml: yes add-xml-decl: no doctype: strict input-encoding: utf8 output-encoding: ascii indent: auto wrap: 76 repeated-attributes: keep-last error-file: errs.txt Then you can run and get valid ASCII HTML style, for example: $ echo 'ΜΙΣΟ ΛΙΤΡΟ ΑΘΩΣ ΚΟΚΚΙΝΟ ΠΑΡΑΚΑΛΩ' | tidy -config .tidy http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> ΜΙΣΟ ΛΙΤΡΟ ΑΘΩΣ ΚΟΚΚΙΝΟ ΠΑΡΑΚΑΛΩ This is exactly what I was looking for.

Well, it is no 'project'. I'm writing a diary of what's going on in my life. And still doing it in ISO 8859-1 environment, but in HTML to include pictures etc. ISO 8859-1 is still fine for it because I do it in Spanish for some reasons, and ISO 8859-1 have enough chars, even the tilded ones like áíóñ... but sometimes I need to include a phrase in another language, Russian or Greek, or whatever (see the other mail). And so it is nice to translate this to HTML encodings in ASCII.

I was curious and digged deeper into this... "slow keys" is part of the X11 XKB-protocol (details in XKBproto.pdf or XkbGetSlowKeysDelay(3) man page; in the ports there is ports/x11/xkbset utility and with this one can set the "Slowkeys acceptance delay" (time in ms the X server awaits a key is hold down before sending out the keypress event) or to switch it off again: $ xkbset slowkeys 500 # to switch in on and set 500ms delay $ xkbset -slowkeys # to switch it off again HIH matthias -- Matthias Apitz e - w http://www.unixarea.de/ UNIX since V7 on PDP-11, UNIX on mainframe since ESER 1055 (IBM /370) UNIX on x86 since SVR4.2 UnixWare 2.1.2, FreeBSD since 2.2.5 ___ 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"
