okay I removed the MegaRAID support from the kernel configuration file and
rebuilt the kernel.  things work fine now.  but I am wondering why there
is still a hang on kernel boot for when the RAID card is defined.

I believe you need only install the new login.conf to /etc then run:

# cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf

You had it right.

(Solved) Recovering data from a faulty drive

[Hari Bhaskaran]

Fortunately, the FreeBSD installer's disklabel program (the graphical
interactive one) was able to find the original partition information!
I assigned the mount points (I don't think that was necessary), 
wrote ('W' from the screen) the label to disk again, it went thru
a series of fscks and all my partitions are back again. I didn't
try to install (restore) bootmanager, I merely mounted those
partitions and took the data out on to another disk.


I always thought the installer's disklabel program was same 
as disklabel(8).

Thanks again to all those who replied (Gary, Mike Meyer)

(And thanks to maxtor 
Made the first support call at 8AM, got a replacement
delivered at 2PM the next day!)

adding some new IPs from a different subnet

[Josh Brooks]

Hi,

I have a rc.conf that looks like:

defaultrouter="10.10.10.1"
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 10.10.10.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"

Ok, easy enough - one interface, one default router, and two IPs on that
subnet.

BUT - as it happens, 10.10.10.1 is _also_ the default router for
192.168.0.0/24 ... it has the IP 192.168.0.1, but it also has the IP of
10.10.10.1 - it is the same default router, but with a few different
subnets on it.

So, I went and added one of the 192 addresses to my system:

defaultrouter="10.10.10.1"
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 10.10.10.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias1="inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"

And this works great - it works because 10.10.10.1 is also the default
router for 192.168.0.0/24.  BUT, even though the network works great and
that IP and everything else is fine, I am getting my log files full of:

/kernel: arplookup 192.168.0.1 failed: host is not on local network

Note that the error is about the gateway - 192.168.0.1 is the IP on the

Rebuild database - login.conf

[Jack L. Stone]

It's very late after a upgrade from FBSD-4.5 to 4.7 on a server and during
mergermaster, I didn't merge the new login.conf. Now, I would like to use
the new file, but I believe I need to rebuild a database. I cannot remember
the command syntax using "cap_mkdb" (I think) and can't find it -- and I'm
really tired and don't want to mess it up at this stage.

Need some memory refresh please on this. thanks!

4.7-STABLE kernel build

[Noah Garrett Wallach]

Hi,


okay I just built a 4.7-STABLE kernel.  but I am not able to boot when
using the GENERIC config file.  I am kinda new at troubleshooting this
type of stuff so a clue is welcome.

after installation and reboot

I only get so far - to the following line:

amr0:  mem 0xf000-0xf7ff irq 3 at device 0.0 on pci4

the next line should be (from the 4.6-STABLE old kernel)

amr0:  Firmware 1.72, BIOS 3.27, 128MB RAM


what is creating this issue?  I think this MegaRAID card is supported - so
I am not sure why loading stalls here.

- noah

Problems building cyrus-sasl2 on FREEBSD-4.7-RELEASE

[Jim Trigg]

(Note: the first two tries at sending this apparently got eaten by the ether... in 
case they show up, please know that I am now subscribed to the list.)

I am having problems building the cyrus-sasl2 port on 4.7-RELEASE; no matter how I 
attempt to override it, it keeps deciding that the gssapi-dir should be /usr/local 
instead of /usr.  (When I built world for 4.7, it placed the Heimdal-style gssapi 
libraries in /usr/lib, but the cyrus-sasl2 port keeps trying to link with nonexistent 
MIT-style gssapi libraries in /usr/local/lib.)

How can I convince cyrus-sasl2 that I really do have Heimdal-style libraries in 
/usr/lib?

Thanks,
Jim Trigg

I read those, and they did help some.  I managed to parse out those
things I really wanted from my .Xclients and put them into the
.xinitrc.  That got me as far as the window manager starting up.

Yes, the 10. private address of the java box sends packets to the address is his
alias on public side. The java box should never try to do this, in my mind (very
little of it left now:) java should not even know what it's public address is
unless Natd is not working properly and if that were the case I'd think to have
found something about such a problem during my day of searching the net. The
statement about the 'reflux' above was made by the java support person, and I
think he's saying that it is the client providing the IP address to the java box
in it's call for the report, and java box is too dumb (read config file problem
?) to know it should be asking itself.

The firewall won't send those packets on because its set to stop spoofing on the
inside interface. "add deny all from ${onet}:${omask} to any in via ${iif}"

I don't know much about either and Mr. Java support guy says it's my NAT on the
firewall. If anyone knows which file I should look in first I'd really
appreciate it.

Samba is for sharing FBSD shares on the windows network. There is a port

Perhaps you've answered this and I didn't catch it: How are your jumpers set?

I needed to link /mnt2/usr/bin to /usr/bin and everything worked fine.

Specifically:

cd /usr
mkdir bin
ln -s /mnt2/usr/bin /usr/bin

I can now dump and restore in single user mode just fine from the FixIt

You don't need Samba to mount a DOS partition on your FreeBSD
machine.  All it needs is a command such as
"mount -t msdos /dev/ad1s1 /mnt"
where ad1s1 is the name of the partition holding the DOS file
system, and /mnt is a valid, empty directory.

You need Samba if you want to work the other way around; ie
to read and write a FreeBSD filesystem from a Windows machine.

This is the first time I've ever heard of a file called .Xclients.  I
thought there must have been a gap in my education and went to RTFM.
No mention of .Xclients.  I grepped the entire X11R6 source trees.  No
mention of .Xclients.  I googled and got only 5,780 hits, most in
Spanish or Dutch.  From what I can tell, .Xclients is a Red Hat-ism
that is used by some other script, possibly .xinitrc.

Read startx(1) and xinit(1) if you're starting X from a shell, and
xdm(1) if you're using xdm.  The startup files are .xinitrc and
.xsession respectively, and have been for at least ten years.

You can always start things manually from a vty:

  xterm &

That should at least get you started.

It would be interesting to know:

1.  What window manager are you using?
2.  How are you starting X?
3.  What's in your .xinitrc/.xsession?

AFAIK, the partition info is entirely within the first sector of the
slice.  The slice info is entirely within the first sector of the disk.
(There's other info in them too, so restoring a sector might change
more than partition info.)  Having already given an example of "dd",
I'll leave the way to back them up as an exercise for the reader.

I thought I mentioned this, but the "disklabel" program can output
partition info in ASCII format which you can backup and restore
from too.  A better method than "dd", for general purposes.  And
fdisk can give you slice info in ASCII for backup (but you'd have
to restore by hand).

"The Complete FreeBSD", third edition: errata and addenda

  Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition




 Last revision: 2 August 1999

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.   The  result  is  that  most  leading  edge
computer  books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut  Creek,  is  no  exception.   In-
evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

The  following  is  a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos.  They
relate to the third edition, formatted  on  17  May  1999.   You'll  find  this
information  on  page  iv  (the  page  before  the  beginning  of  the Table of
Contents).  See the end of this document for instructions on how  to  find  the
errata for an older version.

You can get the current document in four forms:

o A PostScript version, suitable for printingout,at
  ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ps. See page 302 of the third  edition
  to  find  out  how  to print out PostScript.  If at all possible, please take
  this document: it's closest to the original text.

  Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible  to
  reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version.

o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.txt. When
  viewed with more or less,  this  version  will  show  some  highlighting  and
  underlining.  It's not suitable for direct viewing.

o An  ASCII-only  version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ascii. This
  version is posted every week to the  FreeBSD-questions  mailing  list.   Only
  take  this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure
  that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning.

o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-3.html.

All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing  source  text  of  the
book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well.  If you find a

___

The instructions on page ii (opposite the title  page)  tell  you  to  look  at
ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2  for  the  errata  list.   That's wrong.
Look at this list.

Pages 190 and 191
_

The description is not very clear about which text appears  when  booting  from
floppy  for  initial  install,  and  which  appears when booting normally.  The
procedure is very similar, but there are some differences.  Add  the  following
text after the heading Boot messages:

You'll  boot  your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot
from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system.  Later, after the  system
is  installed,  you'll boot from hard disk.  The procedure is almost identical,
so we'll look at both versions in the following examples.

Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with:

If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see:

Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter:

When you insert the MFS root floppy and press  Enter,  you  see  more  twirling
batons, then the UserConfig screen appears.

UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration


After  the  kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are
installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c  option  to  the
boot loader:

nfs_server_enable="YES"   # This host is an NFS server (or NO).


Page 265


The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver.   The
scsi  program  is  no  longer  available  in  FreeBSD  3.x.   Instead,  use the
camcontrol program.  Replace the text with:.

Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by  allocating  an
alternate sector for the data.  IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI
drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation.   Usually  it
is  turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not.  When installing a
new disk, you should check that the parameters  ARRE  (Auto  Read  Reallocation
Enable)  and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on.  For example,
to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter:

# camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3
# scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3

This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one  specified  in

o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the  following  command  to  find
  process information:

  $ ps aux | grep foo

  Unfortunately,  ps  is sensitive to the column width of the terminal emulator
  upon which it is working.  This command usually works fine  on  a  relatively
  wide  xterm,  but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate
  exactly the information you're looking for, so you end  up  with  no  output.
  You can fix that with the w option:

  $ ps waux | grep foo

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

II:   How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions

IV:   How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

   Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking
   into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
   activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out
   yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
   security, and have nothing to do with it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  In this message, amongst other things, it
told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list!

  If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list,
  you can send mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with the following command
  in the body of your email message:

  unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:

  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS   User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed.  That's where
  keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy.  For
  example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Since then, I have changed it to
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
  the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
  which I joined.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
  FreeBSD-questions.  If that's the case, you'll have to figure out
  which one it is and get your name taken off that one.  If you're
  not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the
  messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a
  clue there.

If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going
on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things
out for you.  Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't
help you.

III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers?
===

Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD,
FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers.  In addition, the
FreeBSD-newbies list caters specificall

when a process dies, in general all of its child processes die with it. in
this case the portupgrade process is a child of the ssh session and dies
when you log out.

the solution is nohup(1):

% nohup portupgrade $options &

which should leave the process running after you log out, and will dump
the output to the file nohup.out unless you redirect it elsewhere.

Hi again!

In the meantime I played around a little bit with DrGenius.

(As I teach maths and physics - ) I think it is quite a valuable
tool for visualization and exploration of geometry and and vector

dynageo's Euklid and it is part of the gnome project.

Thus it would be a good idea if someone - who knows about these
things - could write a port for it, to make it easily accessible for
students and teachers.


well, I got it built and played with it, but it crashed on me. 
Found a few other things that didn't work as well.

I can drop a bug report to the developer(s) at their site.

That's not the only possibility.  It could be two machines both
insisting that the address is theirs.  That *is* an issue to be
concerned with.

You could also try connecting to it with ssh or rlogin or some such.
That should help you identify which machine it is more easily.

Running portupgrade in the background?

[Martin Gignac]

Hi,

I'm often use portupgrade in combination with sudo from an SSH session and
up till now I've never been able to put the portupgrade process in the
background so that it can finish its job and I can safely exit the SSH
session.

Whenever I've done this the portupgrade process seems to die and I never
successfully create the desired port(s). I find that I always have to be
on a "live" session during the entire portupgrade build process for it to
finish successfully.

Is this the normal behavior? Is it really impossible to properly put the
protupgrade process in the background? Or am I just doing it all wrong?

I've tried different combinations of:

sudo portupgrade  &
sudo -b portupgrade 
sudo -b sh -c "portupgrade  > /home//build.out 2>&1"

all to no avail...

Re: mounting a dos file system

[Quincy]

Hello,

I believe you can do this by installing SMB support. By doing that, you can use
smbutil and mount_smbfs to connect to and mount window shares. All you would
have to do is share each drive you want on the windows machines. Check out
http://www.onlamp.com/lpt/a/1357 for more information.

Hope I've helped.

No doubt the lawyers would bring in Expert Witnesses saying that
a GB is 10^9 bytes.  And they'd be right.  And wrong.

I noticed Linux boot msgs giving sizes in "MiB", etc.  Maybe a good
idea, but it's ugly and I'd prefer an official FreeBSD dictionary for
such things wherein GB = 2^30 in all docs, msgs, and source.

That thing's been bugging me too (but not enough to think about it) and
I'm glad to have seen it explained.  Looking closer, in my DHCP case,
the IP# is labeled "New Routers" by dhclient; aparently my ISP's routers
time-sharing the IP#.  It would make more sense for it to be my cable
modem, but I don't know why/how it would be changing MACs.  "arp -a"
DOES show the IP# as in the client.attbi.com domain which sounds like
it might be unique to a customer/client at any one time.  Anyone know?

(I which I knew how to shut the cable up.  I ran the cable halfway
'round the room so I could what the xfr light flash, but it's not useful
as there's continual traffic (1-3 Hz) to my NIC (but no further, AFAIK;
ipfw doesn't see anything more than I expect).)


Would the message be any clearer (ie, easier to figure out) ending "on
xl0's data link"?  (An OSI level 2 term, probably.)  No MACs moved on
xl0, of course.  I guess the MACs moved on "xl0", but it doesn't even
know about any IP addresses other than it's own, AFAIK, so the IP can't
move "on xl0", strictly speaking.  I might write a little patch for it.

divxPlayer error message

[Quincy]

Hello,

I recently installed FreeBSD 4.4 from a CD, and used CVSup to upgrade to 4.7
Release (I must admit I'm quite impressed). Anyways, I read an article by Dru
Lavigne about playing video files on FreeBSD, and installed the divxPlayer
port. However, any time I run it, I get this error message:

/usr/X11R6/bin/divxPlayer.bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

I found a port in the contrib directory called "libstdc++" and installed it to
no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? I appreciate any help :-)

Thanks!

The flip-side of this is that it is often very simple to lift a harddrive

I find the OPPOSITE to be true!

Hell if Windows isn't recognizing some ethernet card, video card, sound card,
I stick it in my FreeBSD machine where it's instantly recognized, and tells 
me what it is, so I can go back to the Windows machine and try to make it
reognize it.

I'm always AMAZED at how well FreeBSD (and OpenBSD) just recognize things

They don't lie.  They use the correct definition of mega and giga.
It is just that most other things in computers use the wrong, but for
computers more convenient, definition of M = 2^20 and G = 2^30 instead
of the correct M = 10^6 and G = 10^9.
Since most things in computers, and memory chips in particular, are
sized in powers of 2 the 2-based variants are much more convenient
for computers, but technically wrong.

Yes.  The OS (and most other things in computers) define MB as
1024*1024 bytes (and GB as 1024 MB), while harddisk manufacturers use
MB= 1000*1000 bytes (and GB as 10^9 bytes) (which is actually the
technically correct definition). 

If you calculate 76319*1024*1024 you will find that it is almost
exactly 80 * 10^9, so everything is correct.

There are two ethernet cards vying for the use of 10.25.192.11. One

Have your tried:

zmore /usr/share/doc/psd/23.rpc/paper.ascii.gz

There's a couple of more rpc related stuff in the psd directory as
well. You might need to cvsup to the latest docs.

Is there way to backup the partition info somewhere? (may be a floppy?)
(At least for future installations?) I run vinum (mirrored across
two disks) on other machines (which I installed recently), but this
machine was installed way before I figured out vinum.

rcp documentation

Hi,

I like to know where I can find the rcp protocol documented. I'm implmenting 
a scp server and believe that rcp is used has the protocol after ssh has set 
up the secure channel.

to expand on this: hard disk vendors lie to the customers. when you
buy an "80 GB" disk you actually buy 80 * 1000 ^ 3 (Lowell, I don't think 
drive got *that* big yet :), not 80 * 1024 ^ 3.

American hd buyers might try a class action lawsuit. :)

How many serial devices do you actually have on that machine?  Just to
be sure, are aware that the device numbering begings at 0?so serial
port 4 (COM4) is actually represented by cuaa3.  How are you determining
that the modem is on serial port cuaa4?

Found it.
Some dumb ass thought that he was going to be slick and unplug his computer
then plugin his laptop with all the same configs.
We have retrictions on comps and we track all installed softwares on comps.
Looks like he was only downloading windows updates for it, but it's still
not proper to do such things without letting anyone know.
This is mail server, I knew that it logged IP addresses but I didn't know
that it would give me this kind of messages.  cool.

Yep.  You need to first remove all versions of gettext on your machine,
then install the latest version of devel/gettext.  After that, rebuild
and reinstall x11-toolkits/gtk12, and you should be set.

The DMZ may be in a private address space.
But if clients from outside should be able to connect to some hosts
in the DMZ they must be made available by a public address of yours
on the outside interface of the firewall. You can accomplish this by
NAT.

Looks like it might be a problem with your GTK install.  Either that or

the reason is that the IP address changed what Ethernet card it was on.

Is

it a DHCP-Served

Otherwise someone might be stealing IP's.

Re: kernel messsage

No all addresses are static.
could this happen say, if someone adds a computer on the network with an IP
address that already exist.
Of course both computers will get a message about the IP conflict, but could
this be the case?

newbie cluele re routing issue

[Stephen D. Kingrea]

ok, i know that i am a newbie, but perhaps what i am trying to do is
impossible.

goal: host 2 domains locally
equipment: linksys wireless router (4 ethernet connections--wireless not
running yet), freebsd 4.7 on dedicated p166, and several boxes/os's
connected dhcp.

i assigned router 1 static address (68.114.63.14), server lan address
(192.168.1.110). domain1.com is working.

i wish to alias second static address (68.114.63.34) on server for
domain2.com. 

try as i might, i cannot make this work. is it even possible?

linksys says: place hub between modem and router, connect server to hub
(placing server outside lan). that scenario renders server incapable of
communicating with isp's router (68.114.63.1).

i am beginning to wonder whether i can even accomplish this. it seems
simple enough, however; i just can't make it work

any suggestions?

tia

sysctl net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements=0

the reason is that the IP address changed what Ethernet card it was on.  Is 
it a DHCP-Served
address?

Otherwise someone might be stealing IP's.

Split DNS, LAN, DMZ

[bsdaemon]

Hello all

I am setting up a network at home, and I'd like the following configuration:

outside--DHCP-->firewall (trihomed)--(10 net)-->LAN
   |___>DMZ (private IP?)

Is this feasible?  I saw some references that said the DMZ has to be a public IP, and 
others that [I think] said it was possible to use a private IP for  the DMZ.  Could 
someone clear this up for me?

Thanks, I'm a little confused!

Gtk+ not installed

Hello,

I'm trying to install the xmms port. I get:

*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...
[...]
***rpm --erase --nodeps gtk gtk-devel
configure: error: *** GTK+ >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***

My gtk port is Version 1.2.10_7.
So is 10 < 2?
Are GTK+ and the gtk port something different?

You need an appropriate config file for whatever version of sendmail
you're running.  Version 9 didn't come with FreeBSD, so there's no
reason to be using such a config file.

In this case, you probably want to tell fetchmail to go along with
certain errors.  I handle this with the line "antispam 451" in my
fetchmail configuration.

"dhclient: no memory for option buffer" ?

[questions]

I'm getting this weird message reported by syslogd:

dhclient: no memory for option buffer.

Obviously this means that dhclient is reporting some sort of memory error,
but what exactly? It just started reporting this error reecntly after I
had a power outage, but everything else seems OK.

I did some searching in the archives but couldn't find anything on this.
Can anyone enlighten me?

can i use the Exchange plugin without the Kolab server? my company uses MS
Exchange, as do most companies out there, sadly. I just need be able to get
the addressbook and calendar and request/accept meetings, etc... like what
Ximian Connector can do.

right now I got RH8 on my work machine, but Connector doesnt even work on
RH8, so I have to run Evo off another coworker's box to use it, and I still
havent been able to sync my palm coz it's a PITA to sync over ppp to a remote
machine running linux/evolution/pilot-link/gnome-pilot... (not even sure if
that's possible actually). anyway, i highly prefer being able to just run
fbsd here, for some reason rh8 is slow as hell and i have to reboot at least
once a week. could be XFree86 with xinerama though, but rh8 is bloated
anyhow.

This looks fine.  You could always try removing all XFree86-font*
packages, deleting /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, then reinstall the
ports/packages.  

Also, do you get any error messages in the X log about what could be
happening when the lock up occurs?

How many serial devices do you actually have on that machine?  Just to
be sure, are aware that the device numbering begings at 0?so serial
port 4 (COM4) is actually represented by cuaa3.  How are you determining
that the modem is on serial port cuaa4?

Well, fonts generally reside in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts.  You can see
what your font path is by doing xset q.  If you have any non-standard
font directories configured, remove them, and see if the problem goes
away.  If you've added non-standard fonts to any of the standard
directories, you'll probably have to remove all font dirs, and reinstall
all the XFree86 font ports/packages.

 I'm not too sure, I know I do try to get as many fonts as possible, but

Whoops! I had forgotten to remove 'disable' from that line. Works like a 
charm now (although my battery is shot ...).

Thanks for the pointer - JB

Do you have any strange fonts loaded?  There have been reports of X
crashes when Mozilla is used with non-standard X fonts.

Mozilla hangs X ?

[Nick Jennings]

Hi,

 I am using FreeBSD 4.7 and am experiencing a strange X lockup that I am
 able to reproduce. When I am using Mozilla, in X (doesn't matter what
 window manager I am using) and I have *allot* of tabs open, probably
 allot of the sites have javascripts etc. Sometimes, and I haven't noticed
 any pattern in what I am doing other than having allot of tabs open 
 (probably 20+), X completely hangs.

 The mouse locks up, I can't move it, nothing responds. If I try to
 switch to another console I get a no signal error (on my LCD monitor)
 so it just doesn't get any signal from the video card apparently.

 I can ssh into the box from another machine and about all I can do is
 restart the system. Once the machine restarts, the video is back online.

 Anyone else experience this problem? It has been going on ever since I
 installed 4.7 and since then I have updated to STABLE branch a few times,
 and updated to devel mozilla. No change.

 All help appreciated, please keep me CC'd as I am not subscribed to
 freebsd-questions. Thanks.

- Nick
