Would it help to move the soundcard on the motherboard? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I can't think of what else I can do. Attach a copy of your dmesg.

Re: release 5.3 'Configure' missing 'XFree86' option

I am having all sorts of trouble configuring X for one machine - it seems to be a new learning experience altogether. Guess I am a bit frustrated this evening... Configuring Xorg is quite simple. As root run the following commands Xorg -configure [...wait until it creates an custom configuration in your home dir based on your hardware, the screen may go blank during this stage...] mv ~user/Xorg.conf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xorg.conf Are you planning to run a login manager (e.g. gdm, kdm, xdm)? This greatly simplifies the set-up process of Xorg (and XFree86 too) as Xorg would not need to run as an user to use a login manager. I find that running Xorg/XFree86 as root with a login manager is usually the easiest way to set up an X server on FreeBSD.

Re: FreeBSD + MySQL or PostgreSQL
On 9/11/2004, at 3:13 PM, Nikolas Britton wrote: Which one, MySQL or PostgreSQL, is most compatible, stable, etc. with FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x P.S. I'm NOT looking for opinions on which is better a product. Both work perfectly fine with FreeBSD, although I find MySQL easier to set up and maintain under FreeBSD. There are also more documentation available on the web for MySQL+FreeBSD. However it is possible to run PostgreSQL on FreeBSD without any problems at all, especially if you have experience using PostgreSQL on other platforms (eg Linux) as the set-up and maintenance process should be similar on both sides of the fence. Are there any specific requirements you need in an SQL database server?

Re: ftpd and Internet Explorer 6

All of the .files that were created by the adduser script do show. My directory looks like this: Why not just use Apache and get the user to get the file via HTTP. MSIE is a web browser and not a FTP client, after all... - James -- James Pole ICQ: 21721828 AIM: kiwijames1986 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SMS: +64-210-455-139 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
