Hello Matthew,
Thanks for your reply. The only point that remains to be made is that I
find the 'Cheers' at the end of your message quite ironic.
Being the owner of 2 kittens, I must dutifully assert that there is
nothing to cheer about under the current situation. For the three of us,
it has been a long-standing favourite pastime to watch Chuck in action.
We would miss football (for some reason called soccer in the US) games /
cricket games / movies / all other forms of entertainment, just to wait
and watch for Chuck to show up. My kittens never managed to grab him,
despite numerous valiant efforts. But this never undermined the
fascination all three of us shared for Chuck.
If ever the FreeBSD operating system or AMD processors had a bug, this
would be it. Above all, even to someone not in love with cats, having a
genial and smiling mouse would be infinitely preferable to having such a
nasty bug.
Cheers

I can report that logo_saver works great on FreeBSD-CURRENT/amd64 with vesa
loaded and options SC_PIXEL_MODE in the kernel configuration. Vesa support
for amd64 systems was introduced after FreeBSD 8 was branched.

Need help configuring upsd, sound and logo saver on freebsd 8.0
Hello All,
I recently installed FreeBSD 8.0 on my amd64 system attached to an APC
UPS via USB and a RealTek HDA onboard soundcard. I chose 'logo' as the
screensaver during installation, and put snd_hda_load=YES in
/boot/loader.conf and upsd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf.
On booting, the sound driver gets loaded successfully and the APC UPS is
also detected (although there is no mention of the UPS in the output of
dmesg). I have the following problems :
1) There is no sound. AFAIK, there is a sysctl parameter to be tuned for
setting the correct audio channel (in my case hdac1), but I have
forgotten the parameter name. Can someone please remind me ?
2) upsd complains of inappropriate ioctl no matter which USB device node
I set in /usr/local/etc/upsd.conf. How can I set the device name
correctly so that the OS can shut itself down properly on extended power
failure ?
3) For my console saver ('logo'), I get the following error message at
boot-time :
module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (logo_saver, 0x81044010, 0) error 19
Happy New Year and Thanks for any help

I think 'hw.snd.default_unit' is the one you are looking for. The command 'cat
/dev/sndstat' gives you an overview of which devices are available.
Also have a look at the output of 'mixer'. Maybe some volume is just set to
0. :-)
2) upsd complains of inappropriate ioctl no matter which USB device node
I set in /usr/local/etc/upsd.conf. How can I set the device name
correctly so that the OS can shut itself down properly on extended power

If the UPS daemon acts as a serial device, it binds to the ucom(4) driver. So
you'd expect to see a /dev/cuaU? and /dev/ttyU? device.
3) For my console saver ('logo'), I get the following error message at
boot-time :
module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (logo_saver, 0x81044010, 0) error 19
Can't help you here. I never use it.

hw.snd.default_unit=1
in /etc/sysctl.conf ?

Have you tried sysutils/apcupsd. It's designed to work with APC upses.
Fairly easy to install configure.
