FreeBSD 7.2 Intel i915 / Xorg issue

2009-06-21 Thread Shawn Badger
Hi, I've seen several posts with similar issues, but none of them have helped me resolve my own. I am using 7.2-RELEASE on my laptop with an Intel i915 graphics card. My problem is that Xorg refuses to start (most of the time) and posts an error in the log: drmDropMaster failed: Unknown

Kernel Panic

2009-05-21 Thread Shawn Badger
Hi, I installed FreeBSD 7.2 Release on a mini nettop (Intel Atom/945gc/ICH7 hardware), and everything seemed to go smoothly. However, when I boot the system and the filesystem checks have been going for awhile, it always ends in a panic. Here's the dump: dev = ad4s1f, block = 1, fs = /usr

Laptop battery life on FreeBSD

2009-01-27 Thread Shawn Badger
Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD 7.1 on my laptop, replacing Arch Linux and I noticed a significant drop in my battery life (from ~3 hours to ~1.5 hours). I realize that Linux has their tickless kernel, which I am sure explains the difference, but my question is... is there anything I can do

mysql50-server port in 7.0

2008-04-24 Thread Shawn Badger
Hi, I'm new to FreeBSD and it has impressed me so far. I came across a slight problem last night when trying to build mysql50 from ports - the build failed stating that C++ does not support the type 'long long'. The other ports I've tried have built fine, and I stripped my kernel without a
