 NO.  /rescue was allowed in the system to handle the case of a trashed
 file in /lib[exec].  To allow a sysadmin to recover a system from the
 same type of mishaps they could before we went to a dynamic /.

Ie, let's do things the same way we did in 1994?  Other things have
changed since then, hard drives and typical root partitions are much
bigger, and Tim estimated the total bloat from this as 64k.  Maybe
earlier, pre-/rescue, you couldn't recover from damaged files in the
root partition without a CD/floppy/NFS, it doesn't mean you should not
have that capability in /rescue.  

For a *lot* of people today (like home users), an up-to-date FreeBSD
CD or floppy or a second machine to create the disk on may not be
handy (and forget about NFS), but a network connection may still be
available.  This applies equally if the trashed file is in /lib[exec].
I don't understand this argument of we have never been able to do
this, therefore we shouldn't do this now even if we are able to.

I was bitten by this too, as reported here:

I think this happened with the Xft2-Xft rename -- the upgrade
clobbered the original libxft and xft.h from XFree86-4-libs v 4.2, but
they were still in the +CONTENTS of XFree86-4-libs, and then the
portupgrade of XFree86-4-libs to 4.3 removed both these files.  

This should be fixed.  Already files aren't deleted if their original 
checksums don't match, unfortunately I think this is overruled with
pkg_delete -f ... perhaps one needs an option which forces deleting
if there are dependencies, but doesn't delete if there's a checksum
mismatch?

 Hi Rahul,
 
 Well, it compiles on 5.0-Release-p1.  The psm initialization gives some 
 specs about the device and some of it's features. ... but I don't see 
 any consequences of this in apps, like mozilla.  And under gnome the 
 pressure sensitivity of the touchpad (e.g., tap to click) is now gone.

Yes, this was noted back then.  See
 
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=0+0+archive/2003/freebsd-hackers/20030112.freebsd-hackers

 I have no great understanding of how any of this should work.  Can you 
 give some pointers.  (How do I get touch sensitivity back?  How should 
 it be configured into X?  Where should I be able to see the effects of 
 the patch?)

Well, without doing anything, you should be able to see some activity
from the up button: in my case, it worked by default as a middle
button, while the down button did nothing but showed up in xev, for
example.  Basically, left=1, up=2 right=3 ,down=4.

What I really wanted was for up to mean up, down to mean down, and
I was happy to emulate middle with simultaneous left-right as
before.  The following does it for me: I run moused with the options
-m 5=4 -m 4=2 -a 0.5
(the -a is because this driver scales the speed up a bit too much
for my liking).  And in my XF86Config I have
Option   Emulate3Buttons
Option   Buttons  5
I *don't* have the Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 which the howto's
for wheel mice will tell you to insert -- seems it's there by default.
And if I insert it, curiously, it stops working...

 You actually lose the tap/tap-tap click and doubleclick button
 emulation with the new driver, and, as you note, the pressure
 sensitivity.
 
 Both of these issues were noted when the driver was posted for
 review.  It semed the consensus at the time that until at least
 the tap/tap-tap was brought back (via software emulation), the
 driver would not be replaced, only optioned.  You can check the
 list archives for details, I think.

I don't think there was a consensus, by anyone in the know.  I
don't think any committer responded in the whole thread.

Personally, at the time I was ambivalent,  but now I'm happy it's gone...
Perhaps it can indeed be reimplemented in userspace software.

To the OP -- any speed improvement from gcc 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 would

Something similar happened to me in 4-STABLE several months ago.
After a panic/crash (caused by an unstable USB audio driver) the
automatic fsck failed.  This happened twice; the second time my
filesystem was totally messed up, and after fsck did its thing,
several files were missing, including files in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
that had not been touched for many weeks (ie since the last
installworld).  The damage wasn't as extensive as Greg reports, and my
home directory was spared, but I had to reinstall the base system to
get things working smoothly again.

I then turned off write caching on the IDE drive.  Afterwards I had
several such crashes (caused by the same driver) but never again had
filesystem damage -- automatic fsck always worked.  Nevertheless, as
you say, it's strange files which had not been touched went missing.

Losing time on apm -Z (despite pmtimer)

2003-01-25 Thread Rahul Siddharthan
I have acpi disabled and apm enabled in /boot/device.hints
because acpi didn't do standby properly: apm -Z wouldn't turn off the
screen backlight, and on reawakening the screen would be messed up.
(acpiconf -s {2,3} didn't work either.)   With acpi, the following
problem doesn't exist.  It also didn't exist on 4-STABLE.

When I put the laptop into standby (apm -Z) -- suspend doesn't work --
the clock stays where it was before standby, when reawakened.  (eg, if
standby'd at 10:20 and reawakened at 11:00, it still shows 10:20).

I have device pmtimer in my kernel config, and
  hint.pmtimer.0.at=isa
in /device/hints.  dmesg shows
  pmtimer0 on isa0

This is -CURRENT cvsupped and built Jan 21, 2003.

Any ideas?  Any more information I can give?

 Did you by any chance build your own kernel? If so did you leave things

I'd like to add that even with these removed, I was experiencing
terrible performance in building ports, etc (anything involving heavy
filesystem activity or memory usage).  Setting up an /etc/malloc.conf
fixed this (this is also briefly noted in UPDATING).  Specifically I

I didn't need to do this in 4-STABLE, however.  Given that this gives

 H and  should only make a difference if you are low on memory. 

Yes.

 R is on
 by default in 5.0 anyway, due to A and J being on by default. 

That's not what the malloc(3) man page suggests -- R seems to have
nothing to do with A or J.   Perhaps, however, the improvement I see
is due to turning off A and J (implicitly, ie by not specifying them)?

Hm, didn't know about this port.. but it still doesn't include a

I don't want to fsck it and risk screwing it up: it's a real

But here's what I get with an e2fsck -n :

So what does that mean?  Any way to fix it?

 The only thing that is a problem
 is if your e2fs partion(s) are mounted and your system crashes

Not a problem for me (it's likely to be mounted read-only anyway,

Not sure whether this information is relevant, but the ext2 partition
was originally a UFS partition.  A few months ago I changed it to ext2
with freebsd 4.x's fdisk and then newfs'd with the linux mke2fs binary
under linux emulation (FreeBSD 4.x, again).  I then wrote a gentoo
bootstrap filesystem to it and was able to boot it via grub.  It's
worked fine since then (I haven't messed with it again under freebsd,

Re: [Discuss] FreeBSD 5.0 Version of CrossOver Office. (fwd)

2002-11-22 Thread Rahul Siddharthan
I sent the following to the Codeweavers (http://www.codeweavers.com)
crossover discussion list, in response to a couple of mails about
FreeBSD 5.0.  However, I'm not totally sure it's the right answer --
if not, perhaps one of the developers can send a better answer?  (One
needs to be subscribed to the list to post.)

I think crossover is useful/important to many users, so a correct
and useful answer to the codeweavers people is highly desirable.  

Thanks,

Rahul

Jeremy White said on Nov 22, 2002 at 08:02:15:
 A question for you:  if we get a working binary build under
 FreeBSD 4.7, will that run out of the box on FreeBSD 5.0,
 or will we have to recompile (in other words, do I have to rip
 out the extra FreeBSD 4.7 development box we just put in, or will it
 suffice grin).


If you're targeting FreeBSD, please target 4.7 for now.  5.0 is a
really major upgrade, and will take at least a few months to
stabilize; most people will be running 4.x for the near future.  I'm
not totally sure if a 4.x binary will work on 5.x (I'm not a
developer) but if 4.x binaries don't work on 5.x, I think the
developers will try to get them working; but a 5.x binary will not
work on a 4.x machine at all and will be useless for most FreeBSD
users for at least the next few months.

Thanks

Re: problems with Ghostscript5/55/6

 Ghostscript55:
 
   It will build and install. When I run "gs", I get:

Try 
gs -sDEVICE=x11 /usr/local/share/ghostscript/6.01/examples/tiger.ps

gs --help will give you available options.  For viewing stuff on the
screen, install a front-end such as gv -- there's no point in messing
with gs directly.

Rahul.
