That age old question again
Not quite but close. On the front page of FreeBSD.org, is the download links for LATEST RELEASES a.. Production Release 7.0 Which I'm assuming is the latest, and commercially useable version. Now I still find the situation of CURRENT, STABLE as they relate to RELEASE slightly confusing, and no amount of description seems to clear it up. Ok, I understand CURRENT is developmental, and becomes the next major version as stated below. So the next major version is the one on the website? Release 7.0 - or, 7.0-RELEASE ...yes/no? Then 7.0-STABLE continues the work to be the bugfix/security blah blah tree. The question I have is: For the Production Release shown above - 7.0-RELEASE, what is the cvsup tag to keep this version updated ?? . -CURRENT is the development tree that will eventually become the next major version of FreeBSD. The developers try to keep this tree buildable, but they can't guarantee that it will be usable. Tread lightly all those that dare run this version. You must know what you are doing, understand how to debug and rebuild, and be prepared for lost data. As I write, this is known as 7-CURRENT, which will one day become FreeBSD 7.0. The cvsup tag for CURRENT is . (the period). . ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Has anyone got the remote X-Win32 running?
I've read the spots off everything I can find about getting X going, and I have it all up and running sort of. But only sort of. I have X-Win32 trialling on a laptop, and want to be able to connect to the Xserver - but I just can't seem to do it. To give you a run down. I have X working. I have KDE working. I have the /etc/ttys entry set to: ttyv8 /usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm on secure .. (I note that kdm is much prettier, and appears to work Just as well) I have the entry in xdm-config commented out. ! DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 /root/.xinitrc contains exec startkde Ok. Using 'xdm' , booting brings up an oversize font LOGIN -PASSWORD display. Very ugly. (kdm looks nicer, but I'm following the manual) Neither xdm or kdm, let me log in as root. I have to go Ctl+alt+F1 to get to the good old terminal window. Now, the main problem is .. Which is a real pain, as I do need to connect to this thing remotely. I can't connect from the remote laptop's X-Win32 program xterm emulator program. Has anyone managed to get any remote, xterm emulators going? And how so? Thanks if you can help - I'm almost there.

A couple of questions about 7.0-RELEASE and X11
I have just installed the new 7.0-RELEASE shown on the www.freebsd.org home page ( still confused as to whether this is CURRENT or STABLE ) and trying to get X working. It doesn't appear to have xorgcfg in it anywhere? Has this handy program been abandoned? I'm running it on an old SAMTRON 5Ei monitor of unknown HorizontalSync and VerticalSync patterns, and the card type is reported as S3. There are a couple of ways to configure the xorg.conf file available - but none seem to be producing any useable results. The handbook is clear and concise - but none of it works. I did a clean install of 7.0 and put X on at the time. But even the manual talks about xorgcfg - but its no where to be found? Should it be there? Or has it been discontinued? thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problems printing to remote print server. (Not PC/Nix)
The thing I have on the network isa Print Server. A DLink three port print server. Its not a FreeBSD box sharing print jobs, nor a W2K machine doing the same. Its on a network connection of its own, and the printers are plugged into it. oh well. I'll keep digging. :-) thanks Robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Printing to PrintServer problems
I can't get FreeBSD to print to the the network PrintServer W2K machines do fine. FreeBSD sends the jobs, but they just ... disappear ? Printing to a W2K machine with a printer on its LP1 port work fine, under printcap control, but not to the PrintServer? any ideas anyone ? robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Anyone printing to a DP-303 Print Server
I have a DLilnk, DP-303 , 3 port print server on the network that the W2K box mostly prints to. Three different printers depending on whats required. It would be nice if I could get the FreeBSD box to print to it as well, but even the docs don't seem to cover this particular option, and also, I believe it runs LAN Manager/IPX as well. Not sure about tcp/ip, I'll have to look into that. I dont want to have to run SAMBA just to do it if possible. I'll just hangn old printer of the FreeBSD box thanks Robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
