Thanks Manolis, works perfect now! FreeBSD has the safest speaker access in the universe it seems. Even the speaker-beeping user should be member of a group to do so.. Cheers herb langhans > On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 09:44:12AM +0300, Manolis Kiagias wrote: > > herbs wrote: > &g

I had serious problems using the port hal in combination with an Atheros WiFi card. Maybe disable hal and try again? Cheers herb langhans On Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 05:23:10PM +0400, Sergey Vinogradov wrote: > Hi, > Just wanted to know, if there will be any Atheros AR9285 support in > ath(4) driver

Xorg - how can I configure this thing??

2009-07-09 Thread herbs
Hi Daemons, I am stuck with a fresh installation, FreeBSD 7.2 with the usual X Server environment.. Usually I invoke xorgconfig to set up the hardware I have, like mouse driver, monitor frequency, resolution and so on. The new X server 1.6.0 seems to have some sort of autoconfig. I compiled the

Yes, you invoke #firefox (the V2.x) or #firefox-devel (for the new one). Dont remember with the bookmarks and plugins though, you maybe have to import/reinstall these. Cheers herbs > > I took firefox-devel. Some days ago it was version 3.0a2. Works quite well > > if you really

Re: FreeBSD-like linux distro?

If you want a small torrent daemon running in the background then give bitflu a try. It is also present in the ports collection. Needs a little time to configure it but its a nice little program. Cheers herbs On Sun, Feb 10, 2008 at 11:33:14PM +0100, Wojciech Puchar wrote: > >There are mu
