Re: syslogd blocking = can't su to root
On Sun, 30 Dec 2001, Chris Johnson wrote: Ours is also connected to a KVM switch, and that switch uses the scroll lock key to bring up a menu of machines it's connected to (I've never seen it, but that's how it was described to me). Someone else suggested that maybe scroll lock was on on the first virtual terminal, causing the console to block. This seems likely to be the cause of the problem, and I'll have someone check it out when the office opens back up after the holiday. Yes, Belkin KVM switches listen for the Scroll lock key to be pressed twice in a row, then the up, down, left, or right arrow keys will determine which adjacent computer to switch to. It is possible to get them stuck. If a person presses Scroll lock once, the switch doesn't do anything, the computer behaves normally and does whatever Scroll lock is supposed to do. It he or she presses Scroll Lock twice in a row, though, the KVM switch makes a beep, and waits for one of the arrow keys to be pressed. Unless I'm mistaken, it disreguards any other input at that time. Just before it does that, it sends a second Scroll Lock signal to the current computer, to return it to its old Scroll Lock state. Apart from the arrow keys, a person can also switch computers by pressing the appropriate button on the KVM switch, of course. If it turns out that the KVM switch is at fault, just let me say that you're not the only one to accidently put the switch in this limbo state.

Monitord broken by 4.5-pre?
I started using monitord several months ago when I had a problem with snort coring on this box. Since upgrading to 4.5-pre, monitord cores at startup. I can then start it manually with the script, but it doesn't restart monitored processes that die.

Re: Yamaha opl sound
I have sound working on 4.4 and 4.3 but never got KDE 2.1.2 to work. After fishing around a bit I decided to use XMMS YMMV.

I just read through the stable archives on Freebsd.org and I saw where some folks were having problems with Yamaha sound on laptops, but I didn't see any resolution. Since this is a new install of 4.5 Pre, i figured I'd ask here, first.

Re: Problem with compact flash reader under -stable
On 31-Dec-01 Lawrence S. Lansing wrote: Are you sure it's generating a FAT filesystem on the card? From the looks of things, it isn't Since dd if=/dev/rda0 failed without actually reading any blocks (details of this noted in my last e-mail), I'm inclined to think that the filesystem/partition on the disk shouldn't be the source of my trouble. To avoid putting my foot in my mouth on a mailing list, I double-checked under windows. It's FAT, according to win2k. Relevant standards: DCF - Design rule for Camera File System http://www.pima.net/standards/it10/PIMA15740/dcf.htm USB Still Image Capture Device Definition http://www.usb.org/developers/data/devclass/usb_still_img10.pdf It appears to me, though, that the USB spec merely gives vendors a target to avoid. Apparently, they interpret it as Unspecified Serial Bus, since they all seem to go their own way. I have a Microtech Zio flash card reader which is too large for a keychain holder and too small for a paperweight. It is recognized by the ugen driver as SHUTTLE SCM Micro USBAT-02 and usbdevs -v reveals its ID as 04e6:1010, so I know it's there (but then, I knew that, as it was me that plugged it in :=). The Linux folks seem to spend a lot of time playing with (or looking for) specialized drivers for USB devices; you may be able to get some clues at http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=536 For what it's worth, win2k didn't require any special drivers, or anything--it seems to be generic umass. This is probably the only time I've ever literally been able to plug and play under windows, too. :) I'm thoroughly stumped as to why FreeBSD is having a hard time with it. -Larry Lansing RPI Class of 2003 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message -- Duane H.
