I used to be able to get nv to do 1280x1024, with my 6600LE
graphics card. I could never convince it to do 1600x1200, the
native resolution of my LCD pa

Hi there,
I don't do a whole lot of benchmarking: mostly my computer's
speed is "perfectly adequate", and working reliably is key.
At the moment, though, I'm curious. I'm sitting here while I
attempt to restore a file from a level-0 dump, and it's taking a
while. The backup medium is one of tho

Why is that a problem? The BIOS doesn't use
Hi all,
I ran into an unexpected problem today, when I tried to do
an in-place upgrade from FreeBSD 5.5 (actually RELENG_5) to
6-STABLE, following the procedure in /usr/src/UPDATING.
The buildworld and buildkernel went without a hitch, and
installkernel was fine, too.
When I rebooted to single-u

Hi there,
I'm running an NFS server on one of my FreeBSD-6-STABLE systems,
and it keeps putting that message into my /var/log/auth.log
file. When I say keeps, there are thousands of such logs per
day, sometimes separated by seconds, sometimes by many minutes
or hours. I can't find anything on th
Hi, oh gurus,
I'm venturing into a realm of Unix programming that I had
previously been able to avoid: asynchronous event processing,
with or without threads.
Can anyone suggest why the following test-case program always
produces:
