Groups problems
Hi, I seem to have a weird problem with groups, it seems like the system doesn't notice that I am in certain groups when it comes to file permissions, and if I run groups or id with no arguments it also has some groups missing from the list, but with my username as an argument it is complete. I've never encountered this before, does anyone know what the problem might be?

ati driver with Radeon 9800XT
Hi, My friend is trying out FreeBSD as a desktop OS, and I am aiding him since I have be using FreeBSD for about 10 months now and have successfully been using FreeBSD without many problems (that weren't my fault). Unfortunately he seems to be encountering more problems than I suspected he would, and now he has encountered one I am unable to solve - if he uses the ati driver then when he types startx he gets a hard lock, the monitor goes into standby and the machine will respond to no key combinations. If he uses vesa everything is fine. This is on 5.3 Beta 7. His motherboard is an MSI KT6 Delta-FIS2R. I encountered a similar thing with my nvidia card, which was solved by disabling ACPI and compiling my kernel without SMP, but this seems to have to effect on his problem. I can't seem to find any information on this problem with Google, so I hope someone can help or I think he will return to Windows. -- Shaun Friedle [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Asus P4S800D-E Deluxe
Hello, Does anyone know how well this motherboard works under FreeBSD 5.2.1? I currently have an Asus P4C800 Deluxe which is okay - until I turn off ACPI and then I get a Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while is kernel mode while booting. I need to be able to turn off ACPI as the nvidia driver doesn't work with it on. The P4S800D-E Deluxe is very similar is features to the P4C800 Deluxe and I want to make sure that it doesn't suffer from the same problem before I buy it. I don't think it should as from what I've read the problem is with the Intel 845/865/875 chipsets, whereas the P4S800D-E Deluxe uses the SiS 655TX chipset.

I've got an nVidia 5700 that's running the XFree86 nv driver because of this issue. Hi, It's a good job I checked first then. Do you know of any boards that offer similar features, but don't have this problem?

I'm not an expert on mysql, but I believe you get that message if mysqld isn't running (and because it isn't running, it hasn't created the file). Have you checked if it is running (ps waux | grep mysqld)? If it isn't, run it (should be in the bin directory of mysql). -- Shaun Friedle ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, if I disable SMP, I seem to be going in the right direction as the machine no longer locks up. Unfortunately, I cannot disable ACPI on this ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe board as the kernel dumps on errors 9 every time. Well, I'm obviously very unlucky since I have an Asus P4C800 Deluxe and get the same thing! The message is: Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode instruction pointer = 0x58: 0x2d5c stack pointer = 0x10: 0xf80 frame pointer = 0x10: 0x0 code segment= base 0xc00f000, limit 0x, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 0, gran 0 processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 (swapper) trap number = 0 panic: general protection fault So for me, ACPI was the key. If I could just get this bloody ASUS board to boot without ACPI I think I'd be in business. I think you're right. After searching on Google for a while (as I am sure you have done) I have found no solution. Good luck to you and I'd appreciate any info you have if successful. I don't think I'm going to be able to solve this. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, apparently the problem is 5.x has grown a regression in its handling of BIOS32 calls somehow.

All the 5.x versions are from the development source code branch and has a lot of new code bugs. You should really be using the 4.9 stable production release to be learning on. That's probably the best advice, I am downloading the ISO now. During the sysinstall you were prompted with question about mouse, you must have selected the serial mouse option, and that populated your rc.conf file with the wrong enable options. Delete all the serial mouse stuff from rc.conf. You need this usbd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf to make your usb mouse come alive. No, I did not select serial mouse and there is no serial mouse stuff in /etc/rc.conf. As I said above to Adam, usbd_enable=YES already exists. I have also now tried another USB mouse which I have and that doesn't work. I don't have a PS/2 mouse to test, but if I get my hands on one I will try that as well.

My USB mouse not working in FreeBSD 5.1
Hi, I am very new to FreeBSD, but I'm trying to learn how to use it. This is made very difficult by not having a mouse. I have tried searching on Google for a few hours, but haven't fixed the problem yet. Anyway, here it is: My mouse is a Logitech Cordless Desktop iTouch optical USB mouse. /dev/ums0 does exist. If I try to set up the mouse deamon in /stand/sysinstall the cursor will not move when set to Auto (or any other protocol). If I do moused -p /dev/ums0 I get moused: unable to open /dev/ums0: Device busy. dmesg finds everything alright: ums0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/13.10, addr 2, iclass 3/1 ums0: 5 buttons and Z dir. When I try to use X everything is OK, but I just can't mouse the cursor. That is all the information that I think might be useful, sorry if I left something obvious out, but I have only been unsing FreeBSD for 3 days; if I have, just tell me what (and how to get the information).
