In addition, if the UPS is configured to turn itself off after the computer is shut down, or the UPS goes off because the battery is completely used up due the power outage, the computer, obviously, can restart only when the UPS is turned back on, and I believe this can be done only manually.

Swapping Menu and Ctrl in xorg
I'm trying to swap the left control key for the Menu key on my Windows
keyboard. I'm using the se symbol map, residing in the
{xkb-base}/symbols/pc/ directory.
I took a first stab at the problem by modifying the /symbols/pc/pc
file (I have no idea why it gets used, as it isn't included directly
or indirectly from the se file, but a quick grep led me there),
changing the key MENU { [ Menu ] }; entry to key MENU { [
Control_L ] }; and moving it before the line modifier_map Control{
Control_L, Control_R }; . After that the key would generate the
correct keysym, but wouldn't function as a control key. I noticed that
xev reported state 0x0 for the wanna-be-ctrl Menu key and state
0x4 for the real, working ctrl.
I took a second stab at the problem with the following xmodmap script:
# 117 is the scan code for my Menu key
keysym 117 = Control_L
add Control = Control_L
That seemed to do the trick at first, but after a while I noticed that
my U key would no longer function, for some wierd reason generating
the keysym Control_L. Is this a bug in xmodmap?
I'm running out of ideas. What's the good way to swap the two keys?

There's nothing wrong with having a primary master and a secondary slave, just as much as there is nothing wrong with the setup you proposes. Although it is theoretically fine to have just a slave device on an IDE channel without a master device, that configuration fails to work in many cases. If it fails to work it is probably a bug in some component of the system, but that doesn't help the person having the problem. If you have just a single IDE device on an IDE channel it should be configured as master, not as slave. Having it configured as slave is supposed to work, but often does not work and is therefore not recommended. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Kernel Optimizations Regarding SSE
Hello all, I am, as we converse, rebuilding world to 5-STABLE (from 5.4-STABLE 3 weeks ago). This is the first time that I am building a custom kernel and it only deviates from GENERIC in that I only have cpu I686_CPU (without the I586 and I486 that were there from GENERIC) and I added optionCPU_ENABLE_SSE (per the Handbook's suggestion for Video Playback) That is it. In watching the compile of the new kernel, I notice that just about every cc command has the options: -mno-mmx -mno-3dnow -mno-sse -mno-sse2 Is it me, or does those flags appear to be turning off the very thing I wanted turned on (to turn it on, wouldn't it be -mmmx -m3dnow -msse -msse2)? My machine, since it is busy right now compiling in Single User Mode and I can't get to dmesg, is running 5.4-STABLE synced from 3 weeks ago, compiling 5-STABLE synced from yesterday evening (EDT). My machine's specs are as follows: Pentium III // 450 MHz 320 MB RAM Nvidia Riva TNT / 8 MB VRAM Back when I had Gentoo on this machine, I had to enable sse and sse2 when I compiled things like MPlayer so the machine could handle playing back DVDs (and not drop half of the frames). After reading through make.conf's example and its manpage, I was also wondering if these (sse) were options that I should put in there (and if so, how do I do it)? Any and all guidance on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. -Anthony PS - In case it is relevant, and I am forced to go off of memory since my machine is still compiling, my make.conf file has the flags required so that when things compile, they have the options -O -pipe -march=pentium3 (there are only about 3 lines in there... I can list them if needed once this is done compiling). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: HP LC II Netserver ACPI problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I haven't found a way, no mention of it. Pretty old BIOS. Went to HP's site, d/l the last one one they had (even it was old) flashed it. Still pretty old comparatively. As for the dmesg errors, yeah, I guess I'll have to ignore them. I've tried everything I can to get rid of them, but it ain't happening. I read this in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES: device eisa # By default, only 10 EISA slots are probed, since the slot numbers # above clash with the configuration address space of the PCI subsystem, # and the EISA probe is not very smart about this. This is sufficient # for most machines, but in particular the HP NetServer LC series comes # with an onboard AIC7770 dual-channel SCSI controller on EISA slot #11, # thus you need to bump this figure to 12 for them. options EISA_SLOTS=12 I recompiled my kernel with that option but it didn't help. So, there are no choices in the BIOS for ACPI that I can find. Nor is there anything about PNP except for a section where you can reserve areas of memory, interrupts, ports, etc., for PNP. But they're all set to the default, which is to be available for the system. So, I guess I'm in ignoring mode until maybe in the future when I find a fix. Thanks for the answer help.

Each IDE cable can have 2 devices a master and a slave. So if you have 2 IDE controllers you can have master, slave, master, slave for a total of 4 drives. It is not master on ide cable 1, slave on ide cable 2. There's nothing wrong with having a primary master and a secondary slave, just as much as there is nothing wrong with the setup you proposes. ___ According to the UDMA/66/100/133 standard, which REQUIRES an 80-pin cable, a SINGLE drive on the bus MUST BE connected to the BLACK end connector NOT to the GREY slave connector, OR to the BLUE motherboard connector. On this setup the BLUE end connector MUST BE connected to the motherboard. The only time it is permissible to connect a drive to the GREY slave connector is when there are TWO DRIVES on the cable. This requirement is because of cable termination issues - at high speed, an unterminated black connector with a terminated grey connector causes huge amount of noise and can disrupt high speed transfers. This is the same issue as SCSI cables, by the way. According to the Microsoft's PC97 AND the ATA Plug and Play standard, (ATA-2 and ATA-3) drive cables all must follow the Cable Select standard, AS MUST hard drives. CS removes pin 28 on the SLAVE connector. So on a correctly setup modern system, BOTH DRIVES have the CS jumper set, and if the drive is plugged into the black master connector it is automatically selected as master, and if the drive is unplugged from that connector and plugged to the grey connector it is automatically setup as a slave. Since the standard requires a single drive on the controller to be plugged into the end of the cable - for termination reasons - with CS set, by default the standard requires a single drive to be master. So yes, there is something wrong with a primary master and a secondary slave. Just because it works on a lot of motherboards, and just because it worked in the past on old incorrectly manufactured IDE cables, running in PIO mode, doesen't make it per-standard, and definitely doesen't make it right electrically if using CS, as per the standard. As I said already, motherboards take a lot of shortcuts and do a lot of non-standard things.

I've attached it as the sole device on IDE cable 2, jumpering it as a slave device. Wrong. Each IDE cable can have 2 devices a master and a slave. So if you have 2 IDE controllers you can have master, slave, master, slave for a total of 4 drives. It is not master on ide cable 1, slave on ide cable 2. It is correctly detected by the BIOS as the Secondary Slave. Meaningless since BIOS routines do a lot of non-standard things and arenot used for disk access in a protected mode OS. Ted That fixed it! Thanks, I learned something today. Great! Wouldn't it be possible to have FreeBSD detect this (mis-)configuration and warn the user, or would that have to be done at the BIOS level? Quite possible, you might submit a bug report on this. Of course keep in mind that most people installing for the first time do not see the DMESG output since it quickly gets coverd by the sysinstall installation screen. Thus for an error like this - which will stop an install dead in it's tracks - it is only worth putting in the detection logic if you pass the errors all the way back through to sysinstall. So, for this one feature your asking for a lot of work to be done - and it is a feature only useful for people who never read the disk drive setup phamphlet that came with their new disk drive they bought, right? ;-) I doubt the developers are in this group of people which is probably why it's not in there. ;-) Also, if they can install FreeBSD then even though the setup might be wrong, they have a running system at that point, and who cares then? One other thing you might consider, there's some very good disk drive/ide diagnostic software programs out there, one in particular is http://mhddsoftware.com/ and I believe a few of these will check for proper cable setup - you should get in the habit of always runing one of these first on any system before you set it up - unless such system (like a commercial server like a HP or Dell) comes with it's own set of diagnostics. If you had done this you would probably have corrected the problem before installing. Oh, and with old BIOS:es that do not allow you to select which drive to boot from, if both the primary and the secondary master are bootable, will the primary master always be prefered? Yes. The original IDE standard was derived from the old MFM/RLL disk drive controllers. These controllers usually grabbed a chunk of ROM memory - c800-c9ff very common - and set themselves up on port 1F0, IRQ 14. They only supported 2 disk drives, primary and slave, and the IBM PC convention hard-coded the primary as boot disk, drive C: Later on when the 286 and AT bus came out and people wanted to run more than 2 MFM drives, IBM defined port 170 IRQ 15 for a second MFM/FLL controller, and the convention remained the same for the boot drive. You would jumper the second controller to use ROM memory ca00-cbff or some such. At this time all disk access through MS-DOS was through the rom routines in the controllers. When Microsoft came out with Windows they wanted control of the disk access for the swapfile for decent performance so they wrote a disk driver that suplanted the controllers BIOS. When IDE came out (and we are talking the first IDE disk drives were 20 and 40 megabyte drives, and I mean megabyte, not gigabyte) they wanted to take advantage of the work done on the disk driver for Windows by Microsoft, so they made the IDE register, port and IRQ settings and interface identical. IBM also took the disk code off the controller card and put it into main system BIOS. At that time with the IBM PC and AT, the convention IBM used had the same strength as a standard today. There's been a gradual migration of these IBM PC conventions into various standards over the years. One of the problems is that at any given time in history, how an IDE disk or IDE device worked on the IDE bus might have been governed by a PC convention, or an ATA standard. And many of the conventions used are stupid in modern hardware so they never made it into a standard. The defined boot device is one of these conventions so it's not part of the standard except in a very vague way, so it has pretty much remained a convention, implemented only by

OpenSSL reinstall
Hello All, I am new to FreeBSD. I wanted to upgrade OpenSSL to the latest stable version in my FreeBSD 5.3 server. I ran make deinstall , make and make install in ports/security/openssl and and my OpenSSL libs in /lib are lost and the new version was installed in /usr/local/openssl. My other programs are not finding the new libs. I tried to replace the port package by deinstalling it and trying with the option for replacing base openssl. But it does not accept the OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE variable. Now most of the programs I use in the server is segfaulting. Does any one know how to reinstall only the OpenSSL from the base? I am yet to familiarise myself with the make world.. commands. Please help me.

Online Capacity Expansion, RAID, Etc.
Hello all, I'm going to be purchasing a HighPoint RocketRAID 2220 (SATA II) to build a 1.7TB RAID 5 array but I have some relatively simple questions... I'm going to be starting the array in a RAID 1 config using 2 drives, I will then migrate, and grow, the array to RAID 5 using the ORLM and OCE features of the board when more space is required. FreeBSD, RELENG_5_4, will NOT be install on this array, it will be on a separate RAID 1 array using the motherboard's on-board SATA RAID controller. 1. How do I grow the slice and file system, ufs2, when we upgrade? growfs looks like the right tool for the job but could someone provide some practical examples of how to do all of this, yes I've read the man pages. I'm hoping it goes something like this: *Install the new drive into the hot-swap tray, then pop the tray into the hot-swap backplane. *Un-mount the array. *Use the RAID management program to expand the array, then use the FreeBSD tools to expand the file system. *Re-mount the array. 2. What's the best way to get this array started on the right track so we don't have problems when were at 1.7TB? 3. Could you please share any tips, tricks, or problems I might run into with the array? We burn archive CD's for every client, but It would really suck If I had to restore the last few months of image and video files. The bulk of are files will be uncompressed raw image files, next would be photoshop psd, then tiff and jpegs files. The Array will also store support files; drivers, programs, and iso's as well as 60-200MB SVCD slide shows and office docs. My guess at the average file size would be 15MB. - If you want to know the specs, I haven't bought the parts yet, here they are: Motherboard: Intel SE7210TP1-E with, Boxed mPGA478 P4 3E Prescott and 1GB ram kit (I already had these). Chassis: Chenbro SR10769-BK with, 2x Chenbro 84-210710-006 4-Disk SATA Backplanes (only buying 1 for now). 8x Western Digital WD2500SD 250GB SATA Hard Drives (only buying 2 for now). FSP Group FSP550-60PLG Power Supply, EPS12V 550W. Other: HighPoint RocketRAID 2220 PCI-X SATA-II. 2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 80GB SATA Hard Drives. 2x SATA Mobile Racks (will buy these when I buy the 2nd SATA Backplane). CD-RW and Floppy drive.

I have no manual on it. It's strictly surplus. I took it from a friend primarily to learn about SMP, which I have in the kernel and is working fine. The BIOS is pretty bare bones, except in the section where you can make available or reserve memory areas, interrupts, ports, etc., for PNP. But, they're all set to be available, the default, it looks like. I've googled and searched all over HP's site, can't find anything about disabling PNP.Either it's not there or I flat missed it. which is very possible.

Right now the bottleneck is are LAN. We are at 100Mb/s switched, on all ports. or using vinum make RAID5 for partition that will store mostly large or rarely-written files, RAID1 for others, and no RAID for temporary space like swap space (or maybe RAID1 for this too if keeping system up is so important, not only data protection). The swap and system slices will be on there own 80GB RAID 1 array, a RAID 1 for the data storage array is out of the question because it eats up half the space and I don't need that kind of fault tolerance for the data, 1TB vs 1.75TB, though a small RAID 0 slice might be a good idea. It could be used for a working drive and then setup a script to move it to the RAID 5 at the end of the day or something... I'll have to think about that, thanks. Here's the bottom line for why I don't want a software RAID. I have no experience with vinum or other software based RAID techniques on the UNIX platform, I've done it with windows and was unimpressed. It would take me 6 months at least to understand everything, test it, brake it, and for it to gain my trust but I only have about a month to get this thing online for production use.

I would like to use tftp server for IVR with Cisco. I didn't try to use second client while it was not responding. What flags do you recommend in inetd.conf? How to debug tftpd? Is there any other tftp server which is good for IVR? tia, Ganbold ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyway, is there a similar jdk binary which can be used directly in FreeBSD 5.3? I can't find any more link on http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml thanks, Regards, Xu Qiang ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
gnome_upgrade problems
I'm trying to run gnome_upgrade.sh on my FreeBSD5.3_p2 system with a heap of ports which use the gnome libraries for example firefox. When I started gnome_upgrade.sh i ran it with this command: /usr/ports # sh ./gnome_upgrade.sh It kept bombing out on unfetched ports, so I had to go and get them and copy those into the /usr/ports/distfiles directory and restart with the same command as above. After doing this a few times it finished but it has removed most of my applications not reinstalling them as it said it would? Is there something i'm doing wrong here? Is there a was to resume when I restart the process? Am I expected to go through and reinstall all my ports which used gnome libraries again?
