Hmm, I've never heard any beeps on shutdown... how do you shutdown your
system? When I type 'halt -p' it just powers off after synching the disks,
no
beep whatsoever.



Using the default KDE shutdown command (which just halts the system without
turning off the power, curiously enough), I also get these two beeps. Using
6.2-RELEASE.

Can't upgrade ports collection

2007-05-15 Thread Victor Engmark

Hi,

I'm getting reports that some of the packages I've installed have
vulnerabilities when running
portaudit -Fda

I've tried to update the ports tree running
cd /usr/ports  portsnap update
, but it tells me the tree is already up to date. I've also tried removing
everything from /usr/ports (even the dot files), and then running
portsnap fetch  portsnap extract  portsnap update  portupgrade -a
(portsnap update should be redundant, but just to be sure), but nothing is
upgraded, and portaudit still complains.

What am I doing wrong?

Nothing, the ports tree is frozen right know - virtually nothing will be
updated until xorg 7.2 gets tested and imported[1].



Cool stuff, but do you recommend I uninstall the problematic packages? Also,
aren't security patches normally shipped quickly to the ports tree?

Don't use synaptics, contrary to different tutorials / forum posts it

Also, AlwaysCore is necessary for the secondary mouse to make sure events

SendCoreEvents, according to
man xorg.conf

No moused settings are necessary with this setup.

You cannot fry either.  An LCD panel has a computer that will take a
specified
range of vert and horz sync frequencies.  As I already mentioned these
sync
frequencies are meaningless with an LCD, since the display chip merely
converts
them to what the LCDs in the panel actually need.  It is more expensive to
make a display chip that takes extremely high frequencies and since they
aren't needed for LCD that is why the display chips in the panels do not
accept as high frequencies as a really high quality crt will.



Alright, I'll take your word for it. Thanks to everybody who contributed!

Yes, but there have been many edge cases where one works and the other

Alright, thanks. I'll see about it.

Get hold of the latest Knoppix CD from http://www.knoppix.org/, burn

it to CD, boot from it and see if that works.  Knoppix is a Linux

I still don't understand how it will provide the values I'm looking for.

I note that none of the other messages that have gone by in this

have a BIOS mapping issue.  It would be interesting to know what

I feel the need to remind folks that the concept of refresh rates is
completely meaningless with LCD panels.  Flatpanels do not have a single
scan gun that draws lines at a specific time and rate of speed across a

Well, the rates are both related to the video card, not the display. I'm not
sure how the card feeds the image to an LCD display, but I guess that would
depend on the enforced horizontal sync and vertical refresh rates. In any
case, it's useful to have these rates if I should ever have the need to
attach the card to an external CRT display.

The computer in the LCD panel takes the video input at a range of refresh

rates, and converts it to a bitmapped image that is fed to the display
crystals.  You can use whatever horizontal and vertical refresh rates
you want, as long as they are in the table that the LCD panel's computer
can decode, the resulting output is the same.



Even though LCD displays don't flicker, it's useful to set the refresh as
high as the panel is able to display, to get smooth transitions.

I also will remind people that the pixel counts as resolution on flatpanels

also have no meaning.  A flat panel has a fixed natural resolution.  Any
other resolution that you feed to it is either dithered up or dithered
down to match the actual resolution by the display computer in the flat
panel.



I'm well aware of that, but I would still like my video card and screen to
perform to the best of their abilities, in order to display the biggest
amount of data per second possible, without frying. Anything else is a waste
of resources.

Try different rates, I think you will find that once you get above 70 Hz

But then my card / screen may be fried.

How to find HorizSync / VertRefresh rates?

2007-04-30 Thread Victor Engmark

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a pristine xorg.conf, but I've been unable to
find proper values for HorizSync and VertRefresh for my Dell Latitude
D610.

I've tried the values presented in MonitorsDB
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/src/hwdata/MonitorsDB?view=markup
for Dell 1400x1050 Laptop Display Panel, which are HorizSync
31.5-90.0 and VertRefresh 59.0-75.0, but I get a warning in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log for both of them saying they are not within DDC
ranges.

I've tried looking around the Dell web pages, but I haven't found any
pages mentioning these parameters (not too surprising, really).

I've tried to leave these settings out, but even then I get a warning:
(WW) I810(0): config file hsync range 60-66.3158kHz not within DDC hsync ranges.

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the other warnings I get
during startup:
(WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum
and
(WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 failed.

It seems that a DDC (or, apparently, DDS) query should be able to
determine these numbers, but
cd /usr/ports  make search name=ddc  make search name=dds
doesn't give any tools to deal with this.

The relevant part of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section Monitor
 Identifier   Dell Latitude D610 monitor
 VendorName   SEC
 ModelName3450
 # From Xorg.0.log
 DisplaySize  286 214

I have a Dell Latitude D820 (uses same synaptics touchpad as your)
with the same issue as you.  There is another change required by the
driver to work correctly.

you need to add this line in your /boot/loader.conf

hw.psm.synaptics_support=1

This didn't make it work for me, but I would be curious if it did for
you and I can try to duplicate what you are doing.


Sorry, I didn't mention this - I already added it (without the quotes;
I guess they are not significant):
$ grep synaptics /boot/loader.conf
hw.psm.synaptics_support=1

OpenGL in KDE only on top 420 pixels

2007-04-30 Thread Victor Engmark

Hi all,

I'm currently running KDE 3.5.6 on 6.2-RELEASE, and I've tested OpenGL with
the screen savers from the OpenGL Screen Sav... [sic] category. The
results so far:

  - KRotation doesn't work at all, but I don't get any error messages,
  and `grep -iR krotation /var/log/*` doesn't give any results.
  - KPendulum and Space work and are centered on the screen.
  - All the others (Bitmap Flag, Euphoria, Fireworks 3D, Flux, Gravity,
  Particle Fountain, and Solar Winds) use only the top 420 pixels of the
  screen. It looks as though the graphics has been displaced, because it
  doesn't look like it's been scaled to fit the area, and it also doesn't look
  like the bottom 630 px (my screen is 1400x1050 px) have been cropped.

Searching Google and the KDE http://bugs.kde.org/ and
x.orghttps://bugs.freedesktop.org/bug databases didn't produce any
results which seem related. Any tips?

Thanks, but no luck. There are no labels (it's a laptop screen), and the

Not sure if this will help, but there's some good information from a
Linux Dell D610 user who seems to have a good xorg.conf which should
be roughly the same for FreeBSD:

http://www.kcore.org/?menumain=4menusub=2



The xorg.conf there doesn't define HorizSync or VertRefresh.

He mentions a video BIOS patch called '915resolution'. There's a

FreeBSD version at:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/sysutils/915resolution/pkg-descr

More information on the hack here: http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/



I'm already using this. It's listed at the end of my email. In case my
message was unclear, I've already managed to get the native resolution. I'm
only looking for the proper HorizSync / VertRefresh rates, to avoid frying
my graphics card or screen, and to get the maximum out of my hardware at the
same time. I've already tried rates from several articles, but all of them
result in warnings that the rates are outside the DDC spec, and none of them
document where the numbers are from. The only reference I've found so far,
MonitorsDB, is wrong, and Dell doesn't list the information I need.

Don't bother trying. If it works when you leave them unspecified, don't
think any more about it.



I'd rather not have to replace my laptop after a few weeks...

If it still doesn't work however, the easiest way is to construct a

valid modeline specific to your monitor. Xorg can actually tell you what
to put into your xorg.conf, see section 5.4.3.2 of the FreeBSD Handbook
[1]



It works, but the issue is rather having the /correct/ configuration in
order to utilize the hardware as well as possible without frying it.

I've tried the method proposed, but I don't find the information mentioned.

I don't understand why people still configure X the old ancient way.

Follow the FBSD handbook to do a  'Xorg -configure' and a test run of

I did.

Then have a look at your your '/var/log/Xorg.0.log'. You will find a

log of  X using DDC  to interrogate your LCD screen for it's
capabilities and the acceptable modelines



Nope. Already tried that, and the capabilities were /not/ listed in the log,
the way it was described in several tutorials.

rantThis is starting to look like one of the most common problems in
F/OSS: Theory != Practice. In theory, any one of the methods already tried
and suggested here should work. In practice, the documentation
(MonitorsDB) is wrong (at least according to x.org), and none of the quoted
methods work the way they should. An interesting result is that there are
several fundamentally different tutorials for several closely related
*nixes, all of which work only on a small subset of installations./rant

Dell D610 touchpad configuration

2007-04-27 Thread Victor Engmark

Hi all,

I'm attempting to configure my laptop properly for X.org, and the only
device which doesn't work properly now is the touchpad. The tutorials
I've seen so far seem to assume that all touchpads use the Synaptic
driver, but this is the information I get at boot time, and which I
assume is the touchpad:
$ dmesg | grep psm0
psm0: PS/2 Mouse irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model GlidePoint, device ID 0

Apropos, dmesg | grep -i synapt gives no output, and dmesg | grep
-i mouse only shows the PS/2 + the USB mouse.

I've tried a lot of tutorials, restarting whenever I change something,
but I always end up with the following problem:
$ grep ^\(EE\) /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(EE) Synaptics Touchpad Found no Synaptics, found Mouse model 1 instead
(EE) Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) Synaptics Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device Synaptics Touchpad

Another command which might shed some light over the situation:
$ cat /dev/psm0
cat: /dev/psm0: Resource temporarily unavailable

I thought it would be a good idea to use sudo on my FreeBSD laptop, but I'm

What is the default firewall setup in 6.2?

2007-04-04 Thread Victor Engmark

Hi all,

My goal is to set up a Subversion (v1.4, running on Apache 2.2 and available
only through SSL) and SSH server, available to the world. I've managed to
make it work locally; i.e.,
# svn list 
https://localhost/svn/repos/repository_namehttps://localhost/svn/repos/repos_name
and
# ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
work fine. However, I'm having problems accessing these from other hosts.

My machine is connected to the internet. I'm able to SSH to other machines,
and use the web. Therefore, I believe the problem is that the machine is
discarding packets. However, I can't find any record of the connection
attempts in /var/log (grepping for the host name or IP of the other machine
gives no results, and even ping doesn't work), and it seems that, according
to the FreeBSD handbook chapter 26, there is no firewall installed by
default.

Why would FreeBSD be dropping packets, without recording it, when there are
processes listening on the ports (see below), and no firewall?

# netstat -an | grep 22
gives (among other lines):
tcp4 0 0 *.22 *.* LISTEN

According to
tcpdump port 22
, the packets are arriving at my machine.

/etc/rc.conf contains the following:
hostname=[removed]
ifconfig_bge0=dhcp
keymap=us.dvorak
linux_enable=YES
sshd_enable=YES
usbd_enable=YES
apache2_enable=YES
network_interfaces=bge0

I haven't changed anything in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. It contains
firewall_enable=NO
, which should be enough to avoid having any firewall. In addition,
pf_enable=NO
and
ipfilter_enable=NO
are in the defaults, so I'm completely stumped as to what is blocking the
traffic. Is FreeBSD by default dropping any incoming connections (it should
be, but I can't find mention of it in the firewall chapter)?

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: What is the default firewall setup in 6.2?

Can SSH clients on your local network connect to your system?

You say packets are arriving at your machine, can you elaborate on this
further? Assuming a SYN packet arrives from a host, so you see a
SYN+ACK go out, etc?



Actually, it turns out I was wrong - The packets I saw in tcpdump were just
the console updates from the server I was connected to, in order to connect
back to myself :) Also, the local network uses VPN and NAT, which is why an
ordinary connection doesn't work. That just leaves the mystery of why my
setup worked on SUSE. I'll be using my home PC as the server instead - Much
less hassle.

Thanks anyway!

FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE install boot halts

2007-04-04 Thread Victor Engmark

Hi all,

I've downloaded and burned the boot CD for the i386 6.2-RELEASE. I've used
the CD to install a very well running system on my laptop, but it halts
during boot when I try to install with the same CD on my desktop PC. The
last line it outputs before halting is the following:
acd0: DVDR PLEXTOR DVDR PX-708A/1.12 at ata1-master UDMA33

The install doesn't actually crash - I can still enable / disable Num Lock,
Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock, and the Ctrl-Alt-Space shortcut works. It just
never seems to continue (unless I actually have to wait for several
minutes).

This drive is the only CD/DVD drive, and, hence, the one which the boot CD
is in. The drive works in both Windows and SUSE. Taking out the CD after the
boot image has been loaded doesn't help.

I've tried to boot in safe mode and with ACPI disabled, but I get the same
result.

Some other things noted during boot:
$PIR: No matching entry for 0.1.INTA
$PIR: No matching entry for 0.2.INTA
$PIR: No matching entry for 0.2.INTB
$PIR: No matching entry for 0.2.INTC

$PIR: No matching entry for 0.5.INTA
$PIR: No matching entry for 0.6.INTA
$PIR: No matching entry for 0.13.INTA
