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]
Re: A couple of questions about 7.0-RELEASE and X11
The configure program is now /usr/local/bin/xorgconfig . You might also want to try 'X -configure' , which does some hardware probing and puts a best guess configure file in /root/xorg.conf.new . The X documentation can still be a bit sketchy. Above advice came from books.

Restarts at boot (was: Re: a couple of questions.)
Hi. When I boot into FreeBSD, my computer restarts itself and tries to boot into it again. I am running FreeBSD 5.1. Recently I would start the computer, boot into FreeBSD, it would restart itself around where it begins to load loader.conf and then starts to boot up again. After it does that about 2 times it would load FreeBSD. Last night it would not boot into it at all. Do you think it's a hardware problem? Were there any error messages? signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Sound does not work (was: Re: a couple of questions.)
Also, when I load KDE it says that it cannot find device/dev/dsp for sound. I tried loading the soundcard by typing kldload snd_sb16.ko but it doesn't seem like that solved the problem. Does it work if you load the snd.ko module? If it succeeds to initialize your card, it will print some messages on the console (ALT+CTRL+F1). If that does not work: Which card do you have?

RE: A couple of questions for 5.1rc1....
I run 4.8, but here are my suggestions: The final question I have is one that's probably obscure. I remember a switch used to tell the dhcp client to send the host name of the laptop to a dhcp server. While it gets a man dhclient.conf lease perfectly fine, opening up my linksys dhcp table ( at home ) or the NT dhcp server at work I can only see that a machine has that lease. The name of the laptop isn't listed. I had enabled something on a laptop I had a couple of years ago that made it so the name showed up, but I haven't been able to find anything on this since and I have no idea how I did it before or even where I found it. I don't think dhclient is the issue. If you want your machine to appear on the network, install samba. You don't need to share anything out unless you want to, but samba contains the network name service (nmbd).

I neglected to mention that I had read through the dhcp related man pages. Probably due to my lack of sleep I missed it but I managed to find what I needed. It was not what I expected it to be. I had put in the line send host-name myhost; into my dhclient.conf file. However, the line I was actually looking for wassend dhcp-client-identifier myhost; I'm not entirely sure why you would use the first one I tried, perhaps if the server always assigns a particular system the same IP address? Then again, wouldn't the line I ended up using do the same thing? Anyway, with the dhcp-client-identifier line, the system now shows up in the NT server/linksys router dhcp clients table. So that's one part down. I will likely be adding samba soon as it will be nice for the laptop to show up in the browse lists as well.

A couple of questions for 5.1rc1....
I am trying to figure out how to fix an niggling dhcp issue and permanently disable ACPI and enable apm on my HP Omnibook 900. I'm running 5.1RC1, which is great since this is the first time I've managed to get 5.x on this unit. Even my xircom realport cards work. However, I'm having trouble figuring out exactly where to put the ACPI disable line as this machine just crashes and reboots if I leave it enabled. I think it should go in loader.conf, but I'm unsure exactly on the syntax or if that's where it belongs. Also, I seem to remember that you could enable APM with the generic kernel by inserting a line into loader.conf as well. The final question I have is one that's probably obscure. I remember a switch used to tell the dhcp client to send the host name of the laptop to a dhcp server. While it gets a lease perfectly fine, opening up my linksys dhcp table ( at home ) or the NT dhcp server at work I can only see that a machine has that lease. The name of the laptop isn't listed. I had enabled something on a laptop I had a couple of years ago that made it so the name showed up, but I haven't been able to find anything on this since and I have no idea how I did it before or even where I found it.

A couple of questions related to the sendmail patch, etc.
Hello, A couple of quick questions... I've downloaded the 8.11.6 patch from sendmail.org, and used the instructions they provided [patch -p0 /PATH/TO/sendmail.8.11.6.security.cr.patch], which then prompts me for 'which file to patch.' I'm not clear on which file I _need_ to patch? Or where it would be. I've read the thread on this already, and perhaps I'll try upgrading Sendmail in its entirety. But, for my amusement, how would I patch my current (working perfectly) version of Sendmail? Second question, I'd like to re-compile my Kernel and some other things that required the sources to be installed. On one machine (where I didn't install then initially), I'm having a real challenge trying to get them (chicken and egg); using sysinstall, I'm trying to install additional distributions sources all. Unfortunately, the CD-ROM does not seem to be working on this box, so I'm trying via ftp... but I keep receiving this message: Warning: Can't find the `4.5-RELEASE' distribution on this server. You may need to visit a different server for the release you are trying to fetch or go to the Options menu and to set the release name to explicitly match what's available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to any). Would you like to select another FTP server?

I'm not clear on which file I _need_ to patch? Or where it would be. I associate this message with an earlier line identifying the file being sought. Usually this means I am not in a directory at the same relative path [to the source root] from which the patch was made. Back up one directory above your source root and try a few values of '-pN': -p1 .. -p3 stopping as you have if the sources are not found -- very likely you will hit the right offset and one or all of the patches will be applied successfully. You have to look at any sections which fail to determine why, and whether they are important. (You will get a report of this and they will have been saved with a 'rej' suffix.) -- John Mills [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
