Nvidia video driver and Fb7
Hi, everyone, I have installed the FB7-rc1 and the nvidia driver from port and kept update to the newest version, but when I change the xorg.conf to use the nvidia instead of nv, the X gave a complain about no /dev/nvidiactl and stops, so I can only use nv, which seems slow on some 3d application. I tried to download the source from nvidia web page to compile, but it said it is not for fb7 now. But, when I install from port, it did not give any error or warning.

Dump and restore for Windows partitions

I don't know if there are NTFS utils running on FreeBSD that could do similar - others may, or search the ports for NTFS related software and see what the pkg-descr files say. --Alex PS A question is only dumb if you ask the same one repeatedly. This question might demonstrate some ignorance, but we were all ignorant once and questions are one of the best cures! IMHO, of course. (In the computer world, manuals are another cure but the page for dump was written when UFS was the *only* filesystem that worked on BSD, so fails to actually answer your question). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The dump man page for 6.2 says: Directories and regular files which have their ``nodump'' flag (UF_NODUMP) set will be omitted along with everything under such directories, subject to the -h option. So if the Cache directories themselves are flagged, I think you'd be OK. Maybe chflags nodump /home/*/.mozilla/firefox/*/Cache (without the -R) would be a good thing to quickly make sure the directories are flagged in case the users delete/recreate the Cache folders, but wouldn't take as long as flagging each and every cache file. You'd probably also want to add -h 0 to the dump args, otherwise the cache files would be included in level 0 dumps.

But it will take up a lot of space, because it will copy the every sector (even unused ones). Unless there are special features of NTFS that you use, you could mount the volume, and make a backup with zip(1) or tar(1). Note that with this method you will probably lose any NTFS attributes. The port sysutils/ntfsprogs contains programs like ntfsclone and ntfscp. Maybe those can be of use? Probably the best tool to completely backup an NTFS partition is a windows-based tool.

Any way to configure VIA Chrome9?
My new motherboard has the built-in VIA Chrome9 graphics processor, which seems to use the xf86-video-via driver. The driver works, no doubt about that, but I badly want to configure gamma, contrast, etc. There is supposedly a configuraton utility for Linux, but the few comments I can find about it are not very encouraging. After all, even the s3gamma utility for Windows is rather clunky and lackluster. I may simply have to buy yet another grahics card (there is no AGP slot on this board). But it seems odd that there is no way to configure this processor, which otherwise seems fairly capable (unlike, say, the nv driver). Being able to somehow set gamma independently on the RGB channels might be all I need.

Say I have a NTFS partition, ad0s1. Could I use: # dump -b 4 -f /backups/winxp.dump /dev/ad0s1 Dump is only suited for FreeBSD's native UFS filesystem. Or after a restore, Windows would be able to read the files? What about dd, with something like: # dd if=/dev/ad0s1 of=/backups/winxp.bck bs=4k This should work, I think. But it will take up a lot of space, because it will copy the every sector (even unused ones). Unless there are special features of NTFS that you use, you could mount the volume, and make a backup with zip(1) or tar(1). Note that with this method you will probably lose any NTFS attributes. The port sysutils/ntfsprogs contains programs like ntfsclone and ntfscp. Maybe those can be of use? Probably the best tool to completely backup an NTFS partition is a windows-based tool.

If it is restored to a different partition than the one it was backuped from, Windows won't boot. But that's easy to fix... Anyway it's for backup purpose, so I shall use it on the same partition.

You have to put it in /etc/rc.conf so it will be taken care of during network initialization each time you boot. Everything at startup reads the /etc/rc.conf and finds variables it needs to do its startup and network startup does that too. So, you put in a line like: ifconfig_em0=inet 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 and defaultrouter=1.1.1.3 Amongst a number of other startup settings in /etc/rc.conf network startup sees those and says 'oh, I know what to do with those' and runs the ifconfig, etc. Note that putting it in rc.cong only causes a 'ifconfig_em0' variable to be set toinet 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 and the 'defaultrouter' variable to be set to 1.1.1.3 It is up to the startup programs to do something about it.

So, you put in a line like: ifconfig_em0=inet 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 and defaultrouter=1.1.1.3 Amongst a number of other startup settings in /etc/rc.conf network startup sees those and says 'oh, I know what to do with those' and runs the ifconfig, etc. Note that putting it in rc.cong only causes a 'ifconfig_em0' variable to be set toinet 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 and the 'defaultrouter' variable to be set to 1.1.1.3 It is up to the startup programs to do something about it. The startup programs are generally run from the /etc/rc script and from other scripts that it runs. jerry On Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 12:14 PM, Ashish [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ,--[ On Wednesday 30 Jan 2008, Bhuvaneswari Ramkumar wrote: | I did have an IP address assigned to my ethernet interface( using the | ifconfig command) but I'm unable to ping anybody in my LAN.

The new entries don't have the nodump flag set. Is there a way, the flag can be set automatically? For example, inherited from the directory? Thanks!

DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - [EMAIL PROTECTED] The dump program runs on the raw disk partition dumping sequentially by inode number. So, it has no idea of the file-tree hierarchy. Thus any propagation of the nodump flag would have to be done by the filesystem (or by using a different archiving program). It seems to me that possible changes that could be made would be to update the semantics of the existing nodump flag to say that if it is set on a directory, then any new files or directories created within that directory would also have the nodump flag set. Or a new nodumpall flag could be added that when set on a directory would propagate to any new files or directories created within that directory. Both of these would be easy to implement.

Re: Any way to configure VIA Chrome9?
John Nielsen wrote: Quoting Tore Lund [EMAIL PROTECTED]: My new motherboard has the built-in VIA Chrome9 graphics processor, which seems to use the xf86-video-via driver. The driver works, no doubt about that, but I badly want to configure gamma, contrast, etc. There is supposedly a configuraton utility for Linux, but the few comments I can find about it are not very encouraging. After all, even the s3gamma utility for Windows is rather clunky and lackluster. I may simply have to buy yet another grahics card (there is no AGP slot on this board). But it seems odd that there is no way to configure this processor, which otherwise seems fairly capable (unlike, say, the nv driver). Being able to somehow set gamma independently on the RGB channels might be all I need. Thanks for any hints. I haven't used it, but you may want to check out the openchrome project (http://www.openchrome.org). There is a FreeBSD port available in the ports tree under x11-drivers/xf86-video-openchrome. Thanks, John. I wasn't sure about this port. I first tried to download it as a package and started X with the driver via (according to the documentation), but X did not find it. I then got rid of the package as well as the old via driver and installed xf86-video-openchrome as a port. It still did not work. However, studying the new error message, I decided to correct the driver to openchrome, which DID work. I must have come across some stale documentation. At any rate, I can now start X, and it responds to the Gamma line. To some extent it also works with xvidtune. Screen size and placement is not perfect, but I hope this can be improved when I have studied the caveats mentioned at the openchrome site.

Serial port question
Hi guys; I am doing some experiments with the WL5460AP. I doesn't have a serial connector but the RTL8186 does have a UART and the circuit board has a 4 pin connector (4-3.3V, 3-TXD, 2-RXD, 1-GND) to the UART. The idea here is to rewrite its firmware. For a better debuging (and possibly de-bricking), I need to access its console screen (which it DOES have). The (lots of) info I gathered says that the connection to the WL5460AP console should be at 38400, 8N1, no-flow ctl. I have set up a proper cable and a line in /etc/ttys like: ttyd0 /usr/libexec/getty 3wire.38400 vt100 on secure Using kermit I type: SET CARRIER-WATCH OFF set duplex full set session-log binary set modem type none set line /dev/ttyd0 set speed 38400 set flow none set serial 8n1 set terminal echo local set terminal newline-mode on set terminal debug on connect but I get nothing back. Before I start digging for hardware errors, I want to check if my connection attempt is being done right and understand better what is going on. 1) how does this work? ttyd0 goes through cuad0 or does it simply grabs it and sets its speed to 38400. Originally, cuad0 is set to 9600. 2) if it goes through cuad0, how do I set it to 38400, 8N1, no-flow ctl? 3) is my ttys line correct?

broadcom wireless card on FB7 using ndisgen, no ndis0 after kldload
Hi, everyone, I have a laptop which using the broadcom wireless card. I download the bcmwl5a.inf/.sys and use ndisgen to generate the .ko file, then I kldload it as the doc said. I can see ndis,if_ndis and bcmwl using kldstat, but there are no ndis0 when ifconfig. I have tried add the bcmwl to the /boot/loader.conf, but still no ndis0.

the list of inodes to backup if the directory has the nodump flag?

You are completely correct. This does prune out everything below a
directory marked `nodump' even if those files are not also marked
`nodump'. Note that by default, level 0 dumps will ignore the
`nodump' flag. You have to use `-h 0' if you want a level 0 dump
to honor the `nodump' flag.
You would think I would remember code that I wrote (though in my
defense it was written over 20 years ago :-)
