Why doesn't cp /dev/audio foo.raw; cp foo.raw /dev/audio work?
I've had no problems with my soundcard working with any apps, but a friend of mine who is used to Linux was setting up a FreeBSD box, and he asked my why the following doesn't work on FreeBSD. Apparently it works ok on Linux. cp /dev/audio0.0 foo.raw cp foo.raw /dev/audio0.0 When he did it, he said he could make out part of the recording, but it was very noisy. When I tried it on my machine, I couldn't make out any of the recording it just sounded like static. Should it work? Why doesn't it?

I would strongly advise using FreeBSD 4.11 and the included Perl 5.0 rather than a newer version of Perl. The downside is that the developer seems to have lost interest in the project as there's been little new development on it, and the number of people who use it is not a lot. Also, you really should be pretty familiar with subnet mathematics because this isn't a teaching tool by any means. If that is what you are looking for let me know as I can refer you to some of that.

Re: Why not?
On 2005-03-13 16:53, Bart Silverstrim [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: While each distros kernel is probably less different than a NetBSD vs. FreeBSD kernel, there still each different and a lot more of them. I had to download and install a very specific kernel from redhat to use on my debian system so I could use my wireless card. Also, some features can very wildly like IPSEC, some distros patch in FreeSWAN's stack, others the KAME stack. Some vendors may be directly patching certain features, for the most part you shouldn't have to download a specific kernel for a feature to work in Linux unless you wanted it pre-packaged. You should be able to update it by downloading the latest features, running the config to enable/disable what features you want compiled into the kernel (or as modules), then compile it. On the contrary, there are numerous cases when local patches, specific to the distribution of Linux that is used, are used: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2002-November/msg00050.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2004-February/msg00018.html Backported fixes are not evil, but they are bad when they are available only if you are running FooLinux version X. But still, there is one source kernel, and unless the vendors did something proprietary (which I don't believe they're supposed to be allowed to do), you can compile your own kernel with your own set of enabled and disabled features from the Linux kernel source tree whether you're running Red Hat or Debian; it may break if that particular distro is depending on certain features as you have it configured and you fubar the new kernel's config, but it is still a matter of tweaking that configuration to get it working again. Hardly. Configuration changes will never fix a driver that is only available as a patch to the kernel source tree, when the patch fails to apply, build or install correctly -- a common case with some drivers (i.e. Cisco VPN or SysKonnect). It's a bit surprising that Linus dismisses the BSD kernel teams as fragmented, when one considers the multitude of sites and the dozens of local hacks, patches and other interesting stuff one has to do in order to customize the kernel installation of a Linux kernel. Let us put aside for a while the blatant error of considering three distinct systems as one, when they are just that: three distinct systems that just happen to share a lot of code and like cooperating on work that is a benefit for all three. There *is* one place where I can go to download my FreeBSD stuff. There is one web page, and not a zillion different sites that I have to search through for hours. There is a single CVSup mirror that I can use both at work and at home. But that's because I'm using _one_ of the BSD systems. People who use some other BSD-derived system go to their own sets of sites, mirrors, etc. I can't download the sources for NetBSD's kernel, compile it on my FreeBSD box, and have it work no matter how much tweaking I do to the configuration...if I'm wrong, please someone correct me. Actually, you can. The NetBSD folks state that only a system relatively compliant with POSIX is required for cross-building NetBSD on a local, non-NetBSD system: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/BUILDING?rev=1.53content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup (See the REQUIREMENTS section.) I *think* (and I'm not following the story closely) what Linus was saying is that it's stupid to have so many people working in parallel on such similar cousins...NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD. They share code, they share info, but optimize for certain goals and have a lot of redundancy. Redundancy is good from a survival perspective. Diversity is also good, from an evolutionary perspective. For every bad thing Linus can say about having separate teams working on the systems they enjoy working with, we can probably come up with htwo reasons why this is good. Linux's kernel is Linux's kernel, modified by individuals but still one big bulky source tree to work from. Hardly. Otherwise, it would be easy to point a browser to a single, central place and browse the history of the Linux kernel from 0.9.x to 1.x and then to 2.x. The fact that some bits are available in a proprietary repository somewhere is not good enough. In general, it's a nice interview of Linus and very enjoyable to read, but I'm afraid he is not right about everything when he talks about the BSDs; which is not very surprising, I guess. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

New I/O mobo
Dear members, I'll bash in right away. Here is what happend: 1) I replaced my old motherboard with a new one, and reconnected all components, that where on the old board, to the new one. 2) Booting did go well, till the message: Root mount failed. 3) I redifined the mount points of / /tmp /var /usr via Indexlabel and toggled N to Y (Boot-cd), just like it was on installation. 4) Booting didn't go well, so I let the boot-cd create a new MBR. 5) System started up fine, but all users are gone, no root-password needs to be given when loggin in, mount directories of previous harddisks are gone. Bottom line, I don't recognize my old system's directory structure, it's like a new system. (No, I din't format, re-sliced, etc). Questions: a) What to do to get a system up and running after putting a harddisk on another (S)ATA channel on the motherboard? (So, I don't screw up next time). b) How could I get my old system back, or this not possible because I screwed up? My system: Old board ABIT BX-133, new Abit VA6 FreeBSD 5.3 RC1. Already installed, so no new installation. Disk with OS: MAXTOR 40GB. I searched freebsd.org, google.com and several forums. No relevant information could be retrieved by me.

I had to download and install a very specific kernel from redhat to use on my debian system so I could use my wireless card. Also, some features can very wildly like IPSEC, some distros patch in FreeSWAN's stack, others the KAME stack. Some vendors may be directly patching certain features, for the most part you shouldn't have to download a specific kernel for a feature to work in Linux unless you wanted it pre-packaged. You should be able to update it by downloading the latest features, running the config to enable/disable what features you want compiled into the kernel (or as modules), then compile it. On the contrary, there are numerous cases when local patches, specific to the distribution of Linux that is used, are used: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2002-November/msg00050.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2004-February/msg00018.html Backported fixes are not evil, but they are bad when they are available only if you are running FooLinux version X. But still, there is one source kernel, and unless the vendors did something proprietary (which I don't believe they're supposed to be allowed to do), you can compile your own kernel with your own set of enabled and disabled features from the Linux kernel source tree whether you're running Red Hat or Debian; it may break if that particular distro is depending on certain features as you have it configured and you fubar the new kernel's config, but it is still a matter of tweaking that configuration to get it working again. Hardly. Configuration changes will never fix a driver that is only available as a patch to the kernel source tree, when the patch fails to apply, build or install correctly -- a common case with some drivers (i.e. Cisco VPN or SysKonnect). It's a bit surprising that Linus dismisses the BSD kernel teams as fragmented, when one considers the multitude of sites and the dozens of local hacks, patches and other interesting stuff one has to do in order to customize the kernel installation of a Linux kernel. Let us put aside for a while the blatant error of considering three distinct systems as one, when they are just that: three distinct systems that just happen to share a lot of code and like cooperating on work that is a benefit for all three. There *is* one place where I can go to download my FreeBSD stuff. There is one web page, and not a zillion different sites that I have to search through for hours. There is a single CVSup mirror that I can use both at work and at home. But that's because I'm using _one_ of the BSD systems. People who use some other BSD-derived system go to their own sets of sites, mirrors, etc. I can't download the sources for NetBSD's kernel, compile it on my FreeBSD box, and have it work no matter how much tweaking I do to the configuration...if I'm wrong, please someone correct me. Actually, you can. The NetBSD folks state that only a system relatively compliant with POSIX is required for cross-building NetBSD on a local, non-NetBSD system: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/BUILDING?rev=1.53content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup (See the REQUIREMENTS section.) I *think* (and I'm not following the story closely) what Linus was saying is that it's stupid to have so many people working in parallel on such similar cousins...NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD. They share code, they share info, but optimize for certain goals and have a lot of redundancy. Redundancy is good from a survival perspective. Diversity is also good, from an evolutionary perspective. For every bad thing Linus can say about having separate teams working on the systems they enjoy working with, we can probably come up with htwo reasons why this is good. Linux's kernel is Linux's kernel, modified by individuals but still one big bulky source tree to work from. Hardly. Otherwise, it would be easy to point a browser to a single, central place and browse the history of the Linux kernel from 0.9.x to 1.x and then to 2.x. The fact that some bits are available in a proprietary repository somewhere is not good enough. In general, it's a nice interview of Linus and very enjoyable to read, but I'm afraid he is not right about everything when he talks about the BSDs; which is not very surprising, I guess. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 Setting those two options does not enable the scroll wheel. I think that is due to the generic PS/2 driver reported in dmesg.

I am not sure if the following info matters or not: This is included as it may give you some hints for fixing the wheel feature. This mouse config was a combination of some google hints that led me to look at, 'man psm', 'man device.hints', and my experience with Freebsd 4.x.

Re: What's the easiest way to do a backup and verify?
Is there an easy way to combine a backup and verify when doing backups with dump? =20 I've never had a problem with backup (I backup to DAT tape), but I'd feel better if every backup was followed by a verify to make sure the tape is readable. =20 to the ones on disk. Any changes mean an error, even if it was a real change in the file between the time it was written and the time it was read back. =20 The only real thing you can do is to read back the tape and look for a couple of files with fairly high inode numbers for each file system dumped.If you can read them, you can assume the tape is readable. I'm not very familiar with tapes, but I think that the dump is written straight out to something like /dev/st0 right? So then wouldn't a second dump of the same snapshot diffed to the tape device be a good for a verify?

The geometry FreeBSD suggests yield 152 Gigs, slices correctly and functions perfectly. I'm plannning on reformating anyway as this is only a test run, but do I need to be conserned about the error? Isn't the rest of the error message using a more likely geometry? IANAE, but I believe FBSD is simply stating that it doesn't find the BIOS's numbers to be what it wants, so it's going to use its own. This would explain the effect you see in the second sentence above. As yield, slice, and function seems OK, I think go for it! is perfectly good advice in this instance. I've seen the error several times, too, and so far so good. It does say, using a more likely geometry. The numbers are vastly different then what the BIOS says, but as I said, the capacity seems correct and it functions normally. I just don't want to have any trouble down the road... It shouldn't be a problem. Geometries nowdays aren't as useful as they used to be and aren't really used much, LBA alleviates most of that. The geometries that FreeBSD uses aren't the same that the drive internally uses. In fact, using geometries has been the cause of an old 8 gig limit on hard drives, a newer 137 gig limit, and an old boot loader problem booting anything over cylinder 1023. As for the missing 8 gigs, that's probably because your hard drive manufacture used SI units (10^3=1000) instead of the standard units (2^10=1024) just to make the number look bigger. My 250 gig drive is only 238 gig in reality. Back when I installed 5.2 I to got this error. I went along with it, but this seemed to cause the system to not be able to reboot.

IPFW or pf?
I have read the handbook about firewalls, and compiled my kernel without switching on any explicit support for pf. Now, when I ran the mergemaster it suddenly found a lot of references to pf in my startup scripts. Is pf some kind of mandatory part of the base system these days? I thought it was some kind of alternative to IPFW, but now I'm no longer so sure.

Just for drivers? I wasn't sure what DM was...are any of these patches that were released available as source for other Linux kernels, or are these things being released without ever giving out the source to integrate with the primary Linux kernel tree? But still, there is one source kernel, and unless the vendors did something proprietary (which I don't believe they're supposed to be allowed to do), you can compile your own kernel with your own set of enabled and disabled features from the Linux kernel source tree whether you're running Red Hat or Debian; it may break if that particular distro is depending on certain features as you have it configured and you fubar the new kernel's config, but it is still a matter of tweaking that configuration to get it working again. Hardly. Configuration changes will never fix a driver that is only available as a patch to the kernel source tree, when the patch fails to apply, build or install correctly -- a common case with some drivers (i.e. Cisco VPN or SysKonnect). You're right, if you have an application that requires modification to the kernel then config changes won't fix it. But that isn't the common case, and you should be able to take that application and apply it to the kernel tree source to create the working version, no? Or are they distro specific? In the few times I ran into it the melding wasn't distro-specific. Let us put aside for a while the blatant error of considering three distinct systems as one, when they are just that: three distinct systems that just happen to share a lot of code and like cooperating on work that is a benefit for all three. Then it would best be summed up as a difference in opinion over operations management and organization management. I can't download the sources for NetBSD's kernel, compile it on my FreeBSD box, and have it work no matter how much tweaking I do to the configuration...if I'm wrong, please someone correct me. Actually, you can. The NetBSD folks state that only a system relatively compliant with POSIX is required for cross-building NetBSD on a local, non-NetBSD system: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/BUILDING?rev=1.53content- type=text/x-cvsweb-markup (See the REQUIREMENTS section.) No, I didn't mean compile it and deploy it. I mean replace my system's kernel with that kernel and have it work. The source trees are different, the resulting kernel would expect to work on a NetBSD *system*, not a FreeBSD system with a NetBSD kernel. Redundancy is good from a survival perspective. Diversity is also good, from an evolutionary perspective. For every bad thing Linus can say about having separate teams working on the systems they enjoy working with, we can probably come up with htwo reasons why this is good. Again, it's a difference in organization and management opinion. Hardly. Otherwise, it would be easy to point a browser to a single, central place and browse the history of the Linux kernel from 0.9.x to 1.x and then to 2.x. The fact that some bits are available in a proprietary repository somewhere is not good enough. I was under the impression that kernel.org was the authoritative source for the Linux kernel. What people are doing on the side was their own project. *shrug* I could be wrong :-) In general, it's a nice interview of Linus and very enjoyable to read, but I'm afraid he is not right about everything when he talks about the BSDs; which is not very surprising, I guess. No, but don't discount editing of the interview as a factor too in accuracy. But on the other hand, Linus doesn't really give a flip about BSD. He has his own project, and he does (justifiably) have a lot to be proud of (at the risk of inflating his ego more). He doesn't sound like he's really all that involved in distro flamewars or whatnot.

If you want to resell the additional CD images sold by e.g. freebsdmall.com then you'd need to obtain permission from them, since they own the compilation copyright. If you want to construct your own additional CD images then you can do that any way you like.

Re: The options when you install a port!
Hi! How could i know the options of a port?And Could i set some default options?I meet this problem when i setup a big port like gnome2,it needs a lot of time,and a lot of confirm dialog will pop out.If i know these options and set the values,i can setup these ports without interact! Read the port makefile. There is usually instructions at the top explaining the available options. These can be put into /etc/make.conf (I'm not sure of the syntax). For example, I recently built mplayer. At the top of /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer it says: # New ports collection makefile for:mplayer # Date created: 10 August 2001 nstalL# Whom: Thomas E.

Re: firefox share profile in freebsd and windows!
Perhaps this is not proper site to place this question,but i just meet this problem! I want to share my firefox 1.0.1 profile in windows xp and freebsd 5.3,i can run with:firefox -safe-mode,it will freeze when i use:firefox,obviousely,it's because of the extensions.When you setup extensions in windows xp,firefox can't start in freebsd,when you setup extensions in freebsd,firefox can't start in windows!Why? Why? Because Windows XP and FreeBSD are completely different operating systems. Their binaries are not compatible. How to resovle it? If you can figure out how to keep the extensions directories separate while keeping the rest of the preferences the same it should work. At the worst, you could export your bookmarks from one and import them into the other.

I have been using Amazon's a9.com which has a browser bar for Firefox that facilitates storing bookmarks on a9.com. This way, I can do bookmarks on my FreeBSD Firefox, and pull them up on my Windows Firefox, or any computer if I visit their site. There are probably other server side bookmarks services out there. The a9 makes it a little nicer with the toolbar thingus, plus it wraps around Google's search engine, Amazon's products search engine, and Amazon.com will give you a modest discount for helping test out their wonky new feature. (The bookmark management is a little weird, because it is implemented as a web interface.) As far as duplicating profiles, I'm with Ean in figuring that trying to get the profiles to work on two utterly different platforms sounds like more trouble than it would likely be worth. I know that in the old days the Netscape folks were keen on a project to store metadata in an LDAP server ... perhaps the Mozilla foundation has some similar fetish, but you would be better off asking the Mozilla folks, who are all about cross-platform magic. -danny ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

probe dmesg status of RAIDs -- twe and amr
Hello, I have a bunch of FreeBSD systems, many with hardware RAIDs. The problem is, I have no easy way of checking to see that they are okay. I tried once to get the 3ware binary to work with the 3ware kernel module to get to work with the 3ware firmware update that I had to ... ARGHH! It was awful. On the other hand, in /var/run/dmesg : twed0: TwinStor, Normal on twe0 twed0: 114472MB (234439600 sectors) twe0: command interrupt Or, on another system: amrd0: LSILogic MegaRAID logical drive on amr0 amrd0: 140012MB (286744576 sectors) RAID 5 (optimal) I know from experience that the Normal on the twed0 means nothing broken and I like to think the optimal on the amrd0 means RAID5 is doing fine. This is enough information for me . . . if a RAID is in a failure state, I can live with gracefully failing a server, if need be, and booting in to the BIOS to get the real information. The problem is, I only get these messages when I boot . . . and I don't boot very often, of course. I have tried poking around sysctl, atacontrol, camcontrol . . . all to see how I might probe out these messages on a regular basis, but I can not figure it out. Can someone give me a tip on how to pull up bits of dmesg output while the system is running? Or if someone has better advice on checking up on the status of various flavors of RAID . . .

Try it, what have you got to lose? However, if it works, you owe us a usage report, Sirrah! Anyhow, FreeBSD is not terribly willing to share the mouse. When it boots, the stupid thing will start 'moused' processes on both mouses.

Chuck, Setting my mouse driver to ums0, will make X crash before loading. My box never reported the ums0 device/the usb mouse. The usbd is running. There is no moused processes running on this box, as it is disabled in /etc/rc.conf. I get the scroll wheel to work as a middle button, but you are right, the scroll feature does not work. Just 1 thing I need to confirm: did you kill the moused process BEFORE starting X? Because if you didn't, that's exactly what happens to me. I need to kill the moused process that is tying up ums0, then I can start up X. Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 Setting those two options does not enable the scroll wheel. I think that is due to the generic PS/2 driver reported in dmesg. Having a working scroll wheel was never a issue for me :) Also note, I never tried FreeBSD 6.x . No, let's fix the mouse first, then we worry about the mouse wheel. I am not sure if the following info matters or not: This is included as it may give you some hints for fixing the wheel feature. This mouse config was a combination of some google hints that led me to look at, 'man psm', 'man device.hints', and my experience with Freebsd 4.x.

When I tried sysinstall just after the reboot, and again it didn't worked I falsely assumed doing it from the command prompt would also be of no use. I was wrong, following your advice, starting fdisk (this time with -i, instead of -u, just to figure out if there was any difference, still don't know that yet though ;-) ).

Re: gmirror rebuilds on every reboot
As per subject: I have a 5.3 box with two SATA drives and I using gmirror to achieve RAID 1. The problem is it started rebuilding the array *on every boot*. ... I cannot think of any reason this might happen, but I'd appreciate any hint to avoid that. First thing I'd check is the shutdown sequence. I dunno if this is machine you're physically in front of, but if you are, look for kernel output at the end of the shutdown sequence. The fact that it is rebuilding is usually indicative of an unclean shutdown. If it happens all the time it might be that there is some problem preventing buffers from being flushed properly and/or the gmirror to shutdown correctly. -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

rc.subr startup question
Hello,
I'm running 5.3-STABLE and I want to write a startup script for
ports/sysutils/mcron. The twis is, I want an mcron process for
each user I specify in an external file. For example...
/usr/local/etc/mcron.conf:
$usernames=user1 user2 user3
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mcron.sh
#!/bin/sh
# $Id$
# PROVIDE: mcron
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
# KEYWORD: FreeBSD shutdown
#
. /etc/rc.subr
name=mcron
prefix=/usr/local
command=${prefix}/bin/${name}
mcron_enable=${mcron_enable:-NO}
mcron_flags=${mcron_flags--d}
# Load user names from conf file
#
. ${prefix}/etc/${name}.conf
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
load_rc_config $name
for user in ${usernames}; do
mcron_user=${user}
run_rc_command $1
done
This does not work because run_rc_command checks to see if the process
is already running before attempting to launch another instance. I've
read rc.subr(8) and it's not apparent if I can use the rc.subr tools in
this scenario. Perhaps this is something best accomplished in
/etc/rc.local? Any and all suggestions welcome.

Re: If I have portmanager, do I need portupgrade?
I think there is no big difference between just running portupgrade vs portmanager. I would say portmanager is better and faster because you don't need to baby sit, it is really automagical, and there is no messing with an index.

Try it, what have you got to lose? However, if it works, you owe us a usage report, Sirrah! Anyhow, FreeBSD is not terribly willing to share the mouse. When it boots, the stupid thing will start 'moused' processes on both mouses. Check this with: ps -ax | grep mouse if it's like I think it is, one of the lines that come back will report a device filename of ums0. You need this process dead, dead, dead. You *could*, I suppose, edit /etc/usbd.conf ... After you do that, the stuff you have above for Xorg isn't enough either, cause you left out the wheel. take those lines out and replace them with Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/ums0 Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection Don't forget, at the top: Section ServerLayout Identifier X.org Configured Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 InputDeviceMouse0 CorePointer InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard EndSection Try this, tell me how it works. Chuck, Setting my mouse driver to ums0, will make X crash before loading. My box never reported the ums0 device/the usb mouse. The usbd is running. There is no moused processes running on this box, as it is disabled in /etc/rc.conf. I get the scroll wheel to work as a middle button, but you are right, the scroll feature does not work. Just 1 thing I need to confirm: did you kill the moused process BEFORE starting X? Because if you didn't, that's exactly what happens to me. I need to kill the moused process that is tying up ums0, then I can start up X. I do not have any problem with the moused running at all (after doing the steps in the original email). Also as far as my os is concerned there is no USB mouse attached to the workstation. We are using different versions of FreeBSD :) By editing /etc/rc.conf and adding this line at the end: moused_enable=NO , and then rebooting, keeps my moused from starting. I suppose I could have done #killall -9 moused *and* edited /etc/rc.conf with no immediate reboot. When I appended the line to /boot/device.hints, I rebooted for that too. This box is a workstation with one user, me, so uptime is not a issue. As far as the order of the steps, please see the original email. I did start X last after doing everything in the original email, as the mouse did not work at all until all steps were complete. Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 Setting those two options does not enable the scroll wheel. I think that is due to the generic PS/2 driver reported in dmesg. Having a working scroll wheel was never a issue for me :) Also note, I never tried FreeBSD 6.x . No, let's fix the mouse first, then we worry about the mouse wheel. I re-read man psm and I believe the flags i set (/boot/device.hints) keep the mouse driver at level 0. A level 1 driver would make the scroll wheel work. When I boot with a level 1 driver, my mouse is completly dead in X. It is beyond my skills and desire, to code a custom driver :) I am not sure if the following info matters or not: This is included as it may give you some hints for fixing the wheel feature. This mouse config was a combination of some google hints that led me to look at, 'man psm', 'man device.hints', and my experience with Freebsd 4.x. FreeBSD 4.x taught me that using /dev/bpsm0 in the X config would work, with this mouse and this kvm. I didn't try setting up the moused in /etc/rc.conf with FreeBSD 5.x. In FreeBSD 4.x adding the bpsm0 config to /etc/rc.conf just lead to error messages getting reported to my shells every so often.

Correction CD doesn't boot
I posted this message a while ago: I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.3 in a laptop which I just recently bought. Problem is that the installation CD wouldn't boot. I have tried burning several brands of disks and trying them in other computers and I am now sure is not the media. I even disabled hyperthreading in the BIOS and nothing. Anyone can offer some advise about what to do? What I should have said is that the CD itself boots but doesn't boot the kernel. After selecting the kind of kernel boot you want, I get a line and everything freezes. Sorry for my bad explaining.

Re: IPMI doesn't work...

Once the kernel loads, you need to perform SOL (serial redirection over LAN), or use management software the speaks directly with the BMC.. Just curious a little bit more about your setup T We've only used command line tools which speak directly to the BMC. The strange thing with these boxes is the network card is also used by the BMC. You configure (via the bios) a BMC IP address which is different from what the NIC is assigned via the OS. Like I said earlier, we're able to query/control the chassis just fine when the box is powered off or when it's booting, but as soon as the kernel loads, we lose control and simply no longer get any response from the BMC. This is not he case with the linux distros we've tried, so I'm guessing it's somehow to do with the NIC driver that BSD is loading... jeff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Likely some of the fonts and xorg-clients will be pulled back in by another port. -Mike ok i deleted them i now have a new one i like to delete :) Ports with no ports depending on them AKA leaf ports.
