Trouble configuring FreeType BCI hinting

2007-04-26 Thread Mark Shroyer
I realize that this is of marginal relevance to this mailing
list, but I like you guys, so I wanted to ask here first:

As soon as I got my 4.1 CDs (great theme, by the way), I popped
them into my old Inspiron 8200 and started the install. For
kicks, I decided to recompile XF4 with FreeType's BCI hinting
(by uncommenting the line

#define  TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER

in xc/lib/font/FreeType/module/ftoption.h). I then enabled
hinting and sub-pixel anti-aliasing with the following X
resource settings:

Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.antialias: rgba
Xft.rgba: rgb

These settings make 90% of my fonts look amazing. However, in
certain fonts -- especially Georgia and Bitstream Vera Serif --
glyphs' diagonal lines now appear blotchy. Here's an example
of Georgia at 14pt in Firefox:

http://markshroyer.com/files/georgia-hinted.png

On the other hand, if I set Xft.hinting: false (reverting
FreeType to its patent-unencumbered auto-hinting mode, if I am
not mistaken), everything returns to normal: except that my
Webcore fonts are no longer as crisp as genuine pixel-aligned
TrueType hinting would allow for, of course.

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who's recompiled XF4 for
TrueType hinting, so any (ahem) hints? Thanks in advance...

HP ProLiant DL140 G3 problems

2007-04-26 Thread Raimo Niskanen
Hi all!

I have a HP ProLiant DL140 G3 coming in soon, that I really would
like to run OpenBSD 4.1 on. Its predecessor runs OpenBSD (sparc).
If I do not succeed it will wind up running SLES 10 and that is
a pity.

I have used a snapshot of OpenBSD amd64 from April 24.

HP ProLiant DL 140 G2 works like a charm with OpenBSD 4.0.

The problems:

1) something with keyboard interrupts. When booting with a
   PS2 or USB keyboard attached BIOS, CDBOOT and boot(8) works
   fine, but the kernel gets no keyboard. using
   boot boot cd0a:/4.1/amd64/bsd.rd -c gives an
   UKC promt but does not respond to keystrokes.
   
   First changing the console using
   boot set tty com0
   and then 
   boot boot cd0a:/4.1/amd64/bsd.rd -c 
   gives a serial console that is usable. The dmsg is attached

2) something with internal USB devices. The axe(4) driver 
   mistakes something in the server for an USB network card
   and fails to configure it. Therefore the disabling of
   the axe device in the following dmsg output. I can live
   without an axe device so this is not a big problem.

At the end of the dmsg there is something concerning keyboard
interrupts. What can I do about it?

it is not an axe device, it is some internal serverworks virtual stuff
(and i don't need it). the interesting thing is that it reports an
empty device and vendor id (see last line) which is not handled
correctly in the usb stack:

Controller /dev/usb2:

 port 1 powered
 port 2 addr 2: full speed, power 100 mA, unconfigured, SE USB Device(0x), 
ServerEngines(0x), rev 0.01

the attach as axe is mostly random, it sometimes attaches as axe(4)
and sometimes as uberry(4) in my DL145 G3...

uberry0 at uhub2 port 2

I suppose you could use in fonts.conf something like this for Vera (adjust
the size under which you want hinting to be OFF, or you can remove the test
for pixelsize to always unhint the font), and you can add some other fonts
too:
!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM fonts.dtd
fontconfig

The Bitstream Vera fonts have GASP entries suggesting that hinting be
disabled below 8 ppem, but FreeType ignores those, preferring to use
the data found in the instructed hints.  The initial Vera release
didn't include the right instructions in the 'prep' table. Fix this
by disabling hinting manually at smaller sizes ( 8ppem)

[landisk] a question for other users

2007-04-26 Thread Diana Eichert
I realize the landisk platform wasn't added until 4.1 and 4.1 is not yet 
officially released on the ftp site, but I haven't seen much from other 
users.  It wasn't that hard to download a miniroot, dd it to the landisk 
hard drive, cvs src with OPENBSD_4_1 tag and build a release.


Are there many of y'all out there?  It's a pretty cool platform to run DNS 
servers, spamd traps and various other things on.


I have a question for the developers.  Is there away to have the box 
restart automagically after power loss?  Maybe it's a setting for the ROM 
monitor on the box?  I don't know 'cause I've never actually run one of my 
Plextors with the stuff it came with.  If I've missed something obvious 
please feel free to hit me with a giant clue stick.

Read and write disk statistics

2007-04-26 Thread Federico Giannici
I'd like to know how much of the disk activity is for reads and how much 
is for writes.


It seems that there are a few system commands that show statistics about 
disks activity (iostat, vmstat, systat) but none of them separate reads 
and writes.


Is there some command that shows the READ disk stats and WRITE disk 
stats, SEPARATELY?

I already have a bunch of them, looking for other people's uses.  Writes
are slow by default, it helped when I enabled softupdates on various

The big issue I have with it is if it loses power it won't automagically 
restart.  Anyone know how to make it autostart on powerloss?  (I thought I

I actually want to allow regular users to mount the NFS share from

to do the mount just on the local machine, I thought I'd start with
this problem first.

the daemon runs with sufficient privs to mount the fs, and all the  
user has to do is reference the fs.

  Any help would be appreciated.

 Maybe I am being dumb, but wouldn't the obvious thing be to configure 'sudo'
 for each user so that they can mount 'their' share (only)?

Actually, that's probably the simplest solution; config a user group with
access, then grant sudo access to that group for the mount.

4.1 i386, server freezing... ( was: Yet, another thread about running out of static map entries.)

2007-04-26 Thread Private Joker
OK, after setting MAX_KMAPENT to 4000, the server only
lasts about 25 hours before a weird freeze -- which is
less than before. This weird freeze still answer to
ping, and consoles changes, but I can't log in, and
everything else stops to answer.

Can anyone give me a clue on how to pinpoint this
problem? I just need to know what is causing, so I can
think of a solution.

There is plenty free RAM, no swap use, and the server
load doesn't go any higher than 5.

I am really lost with lost problem.

Thanks...

Is there some command that shows the READ disk stats and WRITE disk

Yes I am aware that it is recommended to put HDs on a different
ide channel. I just forgot about it and I never had any problems
with it until about some 3.9 snapshot started misbehaving. And it
never improved even though I found some cvs log messages that
promised to fix the `syncing disks...' bug. And the behaviour was
erratic so I never sure when it started, what started it and when
it may have been fixed. So it's the typical situation where one
problem is triggered by a change pretending it's another
problem. Which made it very hard for me to figure out since it
didn't seem to make sense.

Anyway, my request: I'd like it if the kernel would behave more
gracefully incase of a setup where more than one HD is on the same
IDE channel.

 Hi
 
 Before I testrun this http://paradigma.pt/~gngs/sshjail/ does anyone 
 already know if this patch would work with OpenSSH on OpenBSD  3.9?

Hackathon is coming up

2007-04-26 Thread Theo de Raadt
The annual Calgary hackathon is coming up in a bit less than a month.
As usual, this is a good time to remind people that developers need
toys that they can fix/support, so maybe everyone can take a peek at

http://www.openbsd.org/want.html

and see if there is anything they should send to us to make the
week-long event better.

If you spot anything you can supply, it is worth while talking to the
developer who asked for it, and to me as well.  It may be better to
send the equipment direct to me, so that the developer does not have
to bring it to Calgary in their suitcases (maybe that means they can
bring a bit more clean underwear).

As always, I want to remind people that this is a good time to get
extra laptops (via me) to developers who live in poorer countries or
who face difficulties with fascist border guards.  If you have any
machines to contribute, drop me a note.  There are always developers
struggling with crappy laptops.

Thanks.

 If you can help by getting us a G5 Xserve in Brisbane, Australia,

Perhaps ask for donations towards

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemrd=1item=270113938901ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:ITih=017

Though it is in Sydney and pickup only.

There doesn't really seem to be too many people selling xserves
second hand, that is the only one that has surfaced on ebay in more
than several months.

Too bad Apple doesn't sell them any more...

 There has been a slight delay for those folks who ordered both, as we were
 hoping on a day by day basis to ship them together, so we decided at the
 end of last week to put an immediate end to that, and make sure all orders
 for both have the CD (or or other items) shipped ASAP.

Which means you have to pay more to make two shipments. :(

Thanks for your consideration of those waiting to get their hands on
4.1!
