As far as I know, the ability to deal with this file formate requires the corresponding library to be used. Evince seems to be able to, but xpdf and gv are just PS/PDF viewers, so this functionality hasn't been incorporated. Even though ImageMagic is a heavy chunk of compiling, it is acceptably easy to use when installed (display command).

Re: Please help me diagnose this crazy VMWare/FreeBSD 8.x crash
Quick update: I have received word last night that this crash has been consistently happening to someone on FreeBSD 9 and they're looking for more ideas. I changed the following 41 days ago: - Video memory to auto if it wasn't already - SCSI controller changed from LSI Logic Parallel to LSI Logic SAS It uses the same driver (da) but so far has been holding steady for us. As far as the video memory -- many of our servers somehow had video memory set to 1MB which seemed strange; newer builds of FreeBSD on ESXi do not show this option. Perhaps there was a build of ESXi in the past that had a different setting for video memory when you selected FreeBSD? Another change people might want to do as suggested to us by VMWare Support: - Change CPU/MMU Virtualization to the bottom option -- Use Intel VTx/AMD-V for instruction set virtualization and Intel EPT / AMD RVI for MMU virtualization Supposedly there are autodetection issues here with some OSes -- they named some BSDs and Netware. I'll provide further updates if anything changes, but this seems to be working well so far. We won't begin to trust it until we can hit at least 100 days of uptime, though. Unfortunately I was hoping to upgrade these servers to 8.3 before then... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Lost Boot Sector
FreeBSD AMD64 9-stable up-to-data as of a week ago. ASUS P9X79 motherboard. (OC 4.2GHz) I have 4 SATA disks. (disk 0)500G windows 7 plus a (disk 1)windows mirror, (disk 2)500G FreeBSD, (disk 3)160G backup. I need windows for .NET, Gadgeteer, and uM-FPU. (otherwise, ... hot rock) Windows stabbed a disk, I think. After using windows, the next AM, I found the system with a US cursor on a black background. When I booted with BIOS selector, I saw a windows update message go by. The windows 7 disk, (disk 0) is not recognized by windows 7 after booting disk 1 via BIOS and selecting 'windows 7 secondary plex'. So, either disk 0 died or windows stabbed it (not unheard of). I was using grub from an old linux installation. Disk 2 is not bootable from BIOS - it tries but I get a running '#', forever. I booted the FreeBSD 9.0 RC2 live CD. FreeBSD (disk 2) is still there (whew!) and looks intact. disk 2 GPT: 0 GPT (456G) 1 linux-data (93G) debian??? 2 linux-swap (29G) 3 FreeBSD-boot (64k) 4 FreeBSD-ufs (338G) 5 FreeBSD-swap (4G) == I need to increase this to 16G (== RAM) - free (847M) I plan to use BIOS boot, with FreeBSD as the default - no more auto boot windows! disconnect all disks except (disk 2) - it will appear in BIOS as P0. boot the 9.0 RC2 live CD if pmbr and gptboot are on (disk 2) use those files, else use the live CD files # gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 3 /dev/ada0 I think this puts pmbr on (disk 2) boot sector and gptboot on partition 3. Will this make the disk bootable? And boot FreeBSD when selected from BIOS? With only the windows 7 secondary plex disk connected, it boots.
