Mouse stopped working in X
Hi, Before the update of x11 on 4/21/2012, X was working fine, but now when I startx, my usb and touchpad mouse are no longer found. The mouse works in terminal mode, and hald and dbus are started in /etc/rc.conf. I rebuilt x11, but that had no effect, any ideas on what I might do to get the mouse working again?

Re: pkgdb failure
Yes, seems you need to rebuild ruby, for safety I also rebuilt ruby-bdb and portupgrade. I then moved /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db and ran pkgdb -fu. Then it was safe to run portupgrade. This is probably overkill, but it worked for me. Jim -- In Response to your message - Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2007 10:24:14 +1100 To: J. W.

slice vanishing
Hi, I've been running BSD, for several versions, as a VMWARE client on a persistant disk. Recently, following an update to 6-stable/pre-release, the label for slice that the system was on has been removed. When I try and boot the system, it reads and loads the kernel but it fails when it trys to mount the file system. Is this an issue with 6-prerelease, VMWARE, or some interaction between the two?

Hmm, it's not a brand-name PC that came with Windows pre-installed is
it? If so there may be a hidden recovery/diagnostics partition that is
confusing fdisk.
It a Dell, but given the configuration, i do not believe it came
pre-installed from the factory.
Do you have anything like OnTrack Disk Manager installed to get round
disk size limitations in the BIOS? Unlikely with a machine that runs
W2K, but I do know someone that installed in on a P-III machine when he
built it, using an old 6.5Gbyte disk, because it came with the disk?
No disk manager of any sort running.
Since you have 2 Windows partitions, you haven't installed any form of
multi-OS boot manager have you? You wouldn't need it with W2K but you
may have had if you had 2 different versions of Win9x on there once over?
Only the first partition is bootable, I had two to separate the
standard install from the non-standard (ie the programs I use).
The multi-os boot manager is Smart Boot Manager, but that doesn't change
any partiton ids.
Can you post the whole output of `fdisk ad0', it may just give someone a
clue?
and both freebsd show 165.
Which is correct.

Mark

Hmm, should be sysid 7. I can't remember if the NTFS driver is built

FWIW, here's what I get (single partition, C:, on the first drive). Note

[snip]
I take it that the partition sizees reported are correct?
It a Dell, but given the configuration, i do not believe it came
pre-installed from the factory.
I would have thought that a Dell would have had *an* OS pre-installed.
Only the first partition is bootable, I had two to separate the
standard install from the non-standard (ie the programs I use).
The multi-os boot manager is Smart Boot Manager, but that doesn't change
any partiton ids.
Not come across Smart Boot Manager but I wonder if it creates a small
partition to run from; the OS/2 Boot Manager, which was also shipped
with older versions of Partition Magic, did but, like recovery
partitions it didn't get a drive letter.
Try running:
# dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/tmp/foo bs=512 count=1
# hd /tmp/foo /tmp/foo.hd
This copies the first sector of the disk to a file and hd(1) does a
hexdump of the binary file.
Open /tmp/foo.hd in an editor and look at the last 4 lines, they should
look similar to:
01b0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 01

0200
(there will be the ASCII to the right of each line but I've not included
it to prevent wrapping in the e-mail)
The partition type is the third hex number in the last 4 lines; the
example above is 'a5' (FreeBSD) and the disk has only one partition
which is why the other 3 lines are all zeros.
Post the file /tmp/foo.hd here as other stuff may yield clues.

Ah! I've just thought of something. My old machine had Boot Magic installed - the boot manager that came with later versions of Partition Magic and didn't need a dedicated partition. One of it's features let you choose which partitions each OS could see. I never looked into _how_ it did it but I'm now wondering if it worked by setting the partition type id flag to 45 (unknown) in the partition table; I do remember that I had to disable the BIOS boot sector anti-virus feature as it went off everytime I booted. Now, it may be that this is how Smart Boot Manager works. You could confirm it by viewing the MBR when booted into Windows, you can get a copy of dd(1) and hd(1) for windows from cygwin.com or you can use DSKPROBE.EXE which is in the NT4 Resource Kit (if you can find a copy - e-mail me if you can't) and see if the partition type for the first two partitions is now set to 7 (NTFS), and maybe the FreeBSD partitions are now 45?

Seems our friends in redmond have done something strange with the

Hi, In order to save the internet address space, my cable co has setup their network with a live address for my PC but an address on a private 10.0.0.0 network for the cable modem. Now of course, this is also the gateway and dhcp server. The problem is trying to get FreeBSD to use this private address as the gateway for the live address.This config works for windows and they claim mac OS, but I can't get it to work for FreeBSD. I've tried ifconfig default, but that returns NO ROUTE TO HOST, and I've thougth about using an alias on the NIC, but that would send it out with the private network address and not be able to find its way home.

Otherwise, route add default IP should do it. It is my understanding that the default route should not be the cable modem though, since it is supposed to act like a bridge.

If you just do a dhcp setup, do an ifconfig -a, netstat -r and paste the
results.

As lnog as your internal subnet is different from the cable modem's

AT least this is how it works for me, except that the cable modem has a
