Re: higher resolution console screen?

My screen resolution is 80x25, but I'd like to get something like 120 x 60 if possible. I've played with vidcontrol, but so far can't get it to do anything useful. Also my console screen is now shifted to the left one character, but when I run startx my gui screen is shifted to the right about 1 character. My card is a nvidia card with 128 megs or ram and I have enabled vesa in the kernel and have vesa_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf. However, I get this error in dmesg: module_register: module vesa already exists! Module vesa failed to register: 17 How can I fix these problems? About the left/right shifting.. I also have a 19 LCD monitor, Nvidia card (a GeForce FX 5500), vesa enabled in the kernel, and I used to get a shifting problem like you describe. I switched from Xorg's nv driver to Nvidia's linux driver (ports/x11/nvidia-driver) and the shifting problem went away. Before I switched, resyncing the monitor would correct the problem. Mine is a dual-boot machine that runs WinXP and FreeBSD 5.4, and since switching to Nvidia's driver made the problem go away, I reasoned that the nv driver and the Nvidia driver for Windows were confusing the monitor by using slightly different refresh rates for the same screen mode or something, and that's why I had to resync it every time I rebooted from one OS to the other. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Firefox and Flash ...

I've tried everything according to the FreeBSD handbook, mailing lists, etc, but still when there is a page with Flash, poor Firefox chokes and dies. One thing interesting I noticed though, which might be a hint, is that if I exit Xfce, logout, login this time as root, fire up Xfce again and then run Firefox, everything works without a hitch, e.g. even flash-based pages don't crash Firefox. Weird. What gives? I used to run firefox with xfce 4.x about a year ago. It was hit or miss depending on how new and fancy the flash was. I just got rid of the plugin for a more stable experince. Try to login as a user and run firefox as root, and also login as root and run firefox as a normal user. With all 4 combinations you might get a clue as to wheater you should move on to a xfce or mozilla mailling list. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

about ipfilter
Hi, I am having confuse with the ipfilter and the kernel setup. I have setup a firewall on FreeBSD 5.4 with ipfilter. The rc.conf which include: ipfilter_enable=YES ipfilter_rules=/etc/ipf.rules ipmon_enable=YES ipmon_flags=-Ds I didn't compile the kernel with: options IPFILTER options IPFILTER_LOG Then the ipfilter cannot start on boot with the error: link_elf: symbol in6_cksum undefined kldload: can't load ipl: No such file or directory /etc/rc: ERROR: IP-filter module failed to load I know this error is something about missing the /dev/ipl file or else.

Unloading kernel modules (fault tarp error)
Hi, I have installed LVS server/hearbeat on FreeBSD. ipvsadm has some moudles which are to be loaded in kernel. I can easily load and unload them using kldload, and kldunload command, but the issue is that I want to load them at startup. But when I pass the argument in /etc/loader.conf system doesnt startup and I get page fault trap page fault in kernel error and stop booting. So I decided to put them in /etc/rc.local, using the kload command. Then the startup is fine, it loads ok. But when rebooting I get the same error, and after 15 secs starts. It doesnt unloads the modules(bcos I havent given any command to unload--- where should I give if I dont use /etc/loader.conf). Hope the issue is understood. Please let me know if you need more explanation. Cheers, Deepak Naidu.

I also have a 19 LCD monitor, Nvidia card (a GeForce FX 5500), vesa enabled in the kernel, and I used to get a shifting problem like you describe. I switched from Xorg's nv driver to Nvidia's linux driver (ports/x11/nvidia-driver) and the shifting problem went away. I'm using a kvm switch to switch between winxp and 5.4. I changed nv in /etc/X11 to nvidia (since kldstat showed that nvidia.ko was loaded) and now my gui screen looks pretty good so far. I was able to use a monitor menu-item to 'resync' and got the console screen left-right centered again in console mode. Before I switched, resyncing the monitor would correct the problem. Mine is a dual-boot machine that runs WinXP and FreeBSD 5.4, and since switching to Nvidia's driver made the problem go away, I reasoned that the nv driver and the Nvidia driver for Windows were confusing the monitor by using slightly different refresh rates for the same screen mode or something, and that's why I had to resync it every time I rebooted from one OS to the other. thanks, Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

All geforce series should have full, or near full, hardware acceleration since nvidia releases there own closed source drivers. It's better than nothing, mostly, but still not up to par. There's a driver option called RenderAccel that makes it many times faster in certain operations, including ones that average users do a lot (like switching screens). Certain eye candy features like the ones offered by the Composite extension are completely unbearable without it. And that's the problem. RenderAccel hasn't worked on the MX 400s I own (one in a FreeBSD machine, one in a Linux box) in quite a few months. I can't downgrade at all on the Linux box because the most recent version of the Nvidia driver that supports RenderAccel without crashing won't run on recent kernels.

RE: apache13+mod_ssl portupgrade problem..

FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8 P4 2.8 512mb RAM I 'had' a working apache13+modssl installation along with mod_perl. Everything was working perfectly until I decided yesterday to portupgrade the machine. I started off with perl being portupgraded via 'portupgrade -rR perl' Then I did the php modules via portupgrade php-* And anything else that I missed then got done as well.. Everything now shows that its up-to-date eg.. apache+mod_ssl-1.3.33+2.8.24_1 = up-to-date with port however whenever I try to start apache with apachectl startssl it gives : /usr/local/sbin/apachectl startssl: httpd started but does not start.. nothing at all appears in the logs (error or access) even with debug enabled.. the only message that appears is in messages Sep 22 17:44:23 server kernel: pid 77689 (httpd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Ive searched high and low for a solution, but to no avail.. Ive deinstalled and reinstalled, deinstalled / install distclean etc etc but no diff.. The sad thing is that this was working perfectly yesterday albeit with versions that haven't been updated for 2 months.. What have I done wrong ? and how do I go about rectifying it ?? Try doing apachectl configtest to check your config files. I've seen apache just bail with no errors on a bad config. Unfortunately.. No.. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/etc/apache# apachectl configtest Syntax OK Segmentation fault (core dumped) My config hasn't changed, and as I said was working perfectly before the portupgrade.. Next idea ?? I had the exact same problem. I discovered that, when you install perl from ports, it makes the port perl the active perl version. (Read /usr/ports/UPDATING) If you try to switch to it (use.perl ports) it somehow switches back to the system perl and everything goes wacky and apache segfaults. (For of habit I'll have to get out of now that I'm running the 5 series OS.) Try uninstalling and reinstalling perl from ports - then *do not* run use.perl ports - then type perl -v and you'll see that perl is now the ports version. Then deinstall and reinstall apache. That *should* solve the problem. (You may also have to reinstall some of your perl-dependent ports.) One other thing. If you just deinstall and reinstall apache (without doing the perl stuff first), you *should* see a warning during the apache install that perl could cause a segfault. I missed it the first time. :-( I even installed apache 2.0.54 trying to solve the problem, but I could never get ssl to work, so I gave up and went back to apache13-mod-ssl. It's not your config. Trust me. :-) (Of course, type perl -v first. If you're already running the ports version of perl, you shouldn't need to uninstall and reinstall it.)

All I know is that one of the selling points I chose it on was: SATA 3Gb/s (on that page) site and manual both say that the Si3114 supports 3Gb/sec, but they don't say that about the nVidia, which is why I was choosing it. I am not sure why it would be via the PCI32 bus... checking this page ( http://www.buzzsurf.com/speed/) it says that a PCI 64-bit bus running at 66MHz would be 4Gb/sec maybe they reserved the pciE for the SLI? As far as the performance, the manual says that the performance of raid 5 is greatly affected by block size.. from what I have seen online it has to do with whether the files being written are big enough to end up striped. Maybe the 10Mb/s is with a very large block size and very small files? Maybe a 4k block size and larger files would do better? Just guessing here, really not sure. As far as why I chose the Premium instead of the Deluxe (for my Windows workstation and my FreeBSD server), there were a few reasons. The workstation primarily because it allows software-controlled flipping between SLI and non-SLI, which I thought would be nice if I were to accidentally play games. For the server, I was going to go with a different board, but it didn't support RAID5, so I switched to this one. Of course, now I am seeing that RAID5 doesn't appear very realistic with FreeBSD :( Malachi On 9/8/05, O. Hartmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello.

Malachi What I did was set up a master jail (that is never actually booted) and use nullfs to mount pieces of that inside each separate jail (mostly read only as well, which provides some security as well as hacked jails cannot have their system executables changed since they reside in a read only space). I did not use unionfs. I have one submaster jail which has a writable /usr with a nullfs mounty (was using localhost nfs before that) so I can install new stuff inside of that.

sharing desktop witn VNC
I'm trying to use tighvnc to share a desktop with a friend, for educational purposes. I've been able to run vncserver on my local machine, and connect to it with vncviewer. I've also been able to ssh to his machine (with X forwarding turned on) and do the same thing, but this is really slow. In the case of his FreebSD machine I just got the simple session that xstart produces. How can I star vncserver on his FreebSD machine, such that I get a full blown KDE desktop? This is BTW what he gets when he logs in via kdm. Is there a way to share an already running X session with vnc? Or do I have to start a new session using vncserver? -- U.S. Encouraged by Vietnam Vote - Officials Cite 83% Turnout Despite Vietcong Terror - New York Times 9/3/1967 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

KDE error messages
KDE loads and runs okay, although the Kontact mail program has become inop. When I close KDE I get this message in the console window repeated about four times: X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 6 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x1eb I have the feeling that these error codes might be related to the inop Kontact mail program, because every time that I try to run that program I get an error message telling me that it is already running in another display window.
