Re: -CURRENT in pretty good shape, after all

I've been building worlds without a single problem ever since Feb 7, 2002. Oh, and since I like living in the edge, I erased my 4-STABLE installation on Feb 10, and formatted that partition. Now I use it as /c, a workspace where temporary development work is done. Well, just to put my Me too! here. I have been following 5.x for as long as it existed and during all this exercise, I have found it to be fairly useable at all times. There were some bumps along the road, but nothing that a careful study of this and other mailing lists would not have solved. In fact, ever since 5.x branched from 4.0 way back when:-) it was the only installation of FreeBSD that I had on my workstation. I wrote my university thesis on this machine, while religiously keeping up with the latest and greatest -CURRENT source, the box has served as a dialup and later as an ADSL gateway without problems. Of course, debugging code has slowed it down at times but that was expected. Although I do not consider myself a developer/programmer, I always tried to report problems in a useful way when found. It is just that I did not have a lot to do on this front:-) (Maybe I am the kind of user who should start using -CURRENT in greater numbers? OK, I'm here already:-) This machine is a PII-233 UP, with an Intel 440-LX based mobo and only IDE peripherals. It is no longer state of the art or even close, but, thanks to FreeBSD, it runs as snappy as ever. Thank you all, who have put efforts in making this happen! Indeed. It is really refreshing to see that, despite occasional ramblimngs and otbreaks of flame on the lists, the project really makes headway, especially looked at from a historical perspective. Keep up the good work! P.S.: This message is also test to see if the upgrade to the latest sendmail worked well:-) another me too I have had a 5.0 box running continuously for several months, I don't use the box much but I do use it a little at least a few times a day. It just sits there on my cable modem at home and I use it as a samba (pre-3.0beta) server for mp3's at home, or via http/ftp from work. It's been running seti@home since day one, I use it to test ssh and rsync procedures and other miscelaneous things where I need a unix box to try something on and don't want to use a customers machine. I have done a couple buildworlds and buildkernels but only a couple and not in months, but it went without a hitch. I have built a few ports like vnc and samba, again no hitches and again the results have also been running for months. there was a problem with my mouse for a while, I applied a patch from a post on this list, rebuilt and no more mouse problem. all in all, it's been just great for me even though it's a pretty old -CURRENT. oh and the hardware is just a crappy emachine with an amd k6-2 350 (running at 385) that was a desktop win98 machine at a customers that they threw away for being too old and slow. I just put in a new power supply and a little ram and it's been a damned fine freebsd box for me. neven gnome and enlightenment and gimp and netscape et al are fast enough to be useable, although I did disable gnome and E in favor of icewm just on general principle.

Re: current doesnt see ps2 port with acpi enabled on intel vc820
- Original Message - From: KT Sin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Jon Christopherson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2001 10:24 PM Subject: Re: current doesnt see ps2 port with acpi enabled on intel vc820 I have just compiled and installed -current from this morning 7AMPST, and have noticed that when acpi is enabled in loader.conf the OS does not see the ps2 mouse port. When I turn off ACPI the mouse port shows up fine. Other than not seeing the ps2 port when in ACPI enabled mode, the OS works without a hitch on my motherboard. Any ideas? IF this is a known problem please let me know, as I have been off this list for a month or so. I'm seeing the same problem on my MSI bookpc. For some reasons, the psm device will fail to get an IRQ when ACPI is enabled. Can you try the attached patch and see if it helps? Hey I had the same problem but I assumed it was because I was slightly overclocking an amd k6-2 500 to 550 on a cheap old e-machine via-based motherboard. I applied your patch and now my mouse works. thanks! blather although, partially in response to the mouse problem, I never use my kvm switch anymore anyways, just vnc on the rare occasion I feel like playing with x on this box. /blather Brian K.
