Answer : It seems to be OK. I downloaded the release 10 memstick image, put it on a memstick, booted from, ran it as a live cd and it worked OK.

So I downloaded a 9.1 iso and ... actually I had one I'd downloaded in March, i386, and tried to install that in a Virtual box under ubuntu. The installation seemed OK ... but I looked up and it was rebooting. It ran the installation again and I watched ... to see it drop out at the 3rd screen with a % of files installed. I'll try and download the 10.0 iso image, since it worked from the memstick. -- john francis lee 246/3 Moo 22 Thanon Kaew Wai Mueang Chiangrai 57000 Thailand ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

That did it! Looks good now. The 10.0 installation completed ... but I forgot to umount the iso image, so the installation was offered again. I 'forcibly' unmounted the iso image, as Virtual Box put it, and booted again. Looks good. Thanks ! No I'll try to add X and some ports.

For those who use the laptop in transportable mode (i. e. not on the desktop as a desktop-PC substitute), those features might be interesting in order to save power. - the T61p manual details standby and hibernation modes. Is this what you refer to by suspend? Both are _different_ kinds, if I remember correctly. Standby stores machine states in RAM and buffers it with the battery power. This mode still requires power. This is ACPI states S2 and S3. Hibernate stores machine data somewhere on hard disk or SSD. This mode does not require power. This is ACPI state S4. I can go into standby with Fn+F4, or with acpiconf -s 3 but can't seem to get back. The disk starts, but the screen is corrupted, kind of black with very few white dots. That seems to indicate that the GPU memory data is lost. A typical problem with those sleep states. - I've had a quick look at acpi(4) and apm(8). APM is not in use anymore. ACPI has taken that functionality at the point in time when APM has been brought to a fully functional state. I have: hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S3 S4 S5 hw.acpi.s4bios: 0 From http://static.usenix.org/event/usenix02/tech/freenix/full_papers/watanabe/watanabe_html/node6.html you can see: S3: sleep states. In these states, memory contexts are held but CPU contexts are lost. The differences between S2 and S3 are in CPU re-initialization done by firmware and device re-initialization. S4: a sleep state in which contexts are saved to disk. The context will be restored upon the return to S0. This is identical to soft-off for hardware. This state can be implemented by either OS or firmware. S5: the soft-off state. All activity will stop and all contexts are lost. - Anything I should check/test in BIOS? The obvious things, but I assume the presets are already fine for a laptop. I see that power management is enabled in BIOS. Is that enough? It should be.

Hi Arthur,
Thanks for your response. The installation works now. It turns out that
I was working with the wrong version of the source tree.

I got same error (in /var/log/xorg.0.log) actually: no device detected. Beside all of this stuffs, There is a point, BusID, Xorg -configure set BusID to PCI:1:0:0 and nvidia-xconfig set it PCI:0:2:0 Because Xorg generated xorg.conf works (of course with incorrect resolution and with lag) I changed BusID in nvidia-xconfig PCI:0:2:0 to PCI:1:0:0. not worked! May be error come from NVIDIA Optimus. Did changing the bios settings help? I have come across some more info - it is an issue with optimus which is a technology to allow switching between lower power usage intel graphics and higher performing nvidia graphics. I didn't hear any certainty about turning it off in bios but there is a record of linux not supporting it. A project called bumblebee targets getting support on linux. The two busid's reflect the intel and nvidia devices - did you try removing nvidia and using only the intel settings? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Issuing ACPI calls or Nvidia Optimus support
Hello. I have an Asus U36JC laptop which has two graphic cards (NVIDIA Optimus technology): an Intel integrated card and GeForce 310M. To save power on Linux I use acpi_call module to disable nvidia card completely. This acpi_call module (https://github.com/mkottman/acpi_call) enables an interface to pass ACPI methods. Then when I issue echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0._OFF' /proc/acpi/call I'm disabling the nvidia card. Is something like that possible with FreeBSD? I'd like to use it on my laptop, but unfortunately it gets too hot when both Intel and Nvidia card are powered on. Are there any plans on supporting nvidia optimus? Or at least an option to disable the nvidia card and use the intel one?

I'm currently using that driver, and everything seems to work as intended. The only problem I have is that the driver has different DPI opinions as the previous ones. This makes some fonts unreadable. I found that I can easily change the Gtk+ base font by a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with something like ``gtk-font-name=Tahoma 12'' in it, but this of course doesn't apply everywhere. There seems to be a solution to handle DPI settings in X directly, so I put DisplaySize 410 305 in the monitor section of xorg.conf. The monitor is an Eizo FlexScan F980 21 CRT with BNC cabling, so no autodetect magic. But some things still are wrong, maybe I should try ``Option DPI 96 x 96'' in the device section - I'm not sure which values should be used, 72 or 75 or 96 or 115... Additionally, the gv program has a problem (but it already had that on _each_ of the three drivers): The keys for selecting pages are squished.

Currently, they look like this: +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ |#| |#| |#| |#| +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ You can't tell which is which. The gv program uses Xaw3d for the display elements. Maybe nVidia is not compatible with that? Or it's also a wrong DPI effect? Everything else in gv works as intended. On the other hand, mplayer can now change brightness and contrast again; I have put vo=gl in ~/.mplayer/config and it works. :-) I'd like to point out that the nvidia driver comes with nice documentation: /usr/local/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README contains lots of great stuff.

System lockups in X with nVidia GeForce 7600 GS (G73) and Gtk+
I'm using FreeBSD/amd64 on an Intel Core 2 4300 (1.8GHz) on a VIA-equipped mainboard. The whole machine is a quite cheap one from a discounter (mainly food). OS is 8.2-STABLE (July 2011). I have xorg-7.5.1 installed with xorg-server-1.7.7_1,1, using xf86-video-nv-2.1.18 configured in xorg.conf. The GPU I'm using is a nVidia GeForce 7600 (G73) which is being supported by the nv driver (as well as by nouveau, see later on) according to the documentation. When in X and _only_ in conjunction with programs using the Gtk2 (Gtk+) toolkit, I encounter _total_ system lockups (freezes): no disk activity, no console I/O, nothing. It even happens during drawing operations. A hard reset is required, which means power-cycling as the cheap PC doesn't have a RESET button. A fsck is required on next booting. I could trigger this problem with Sylpheed, Claws Mail and Firefox. I am only able to do email because I downgraded Sylpheed from 3.1.1_1 to 1.0.6_9 which does use the classic Gtk (which I find more accessible anyway). This old version that _works_ is about to be removed from the ports tree!!! The machine has successfully been compiling the system, X and OpenOffice, so I may assume that it's not defective RAM or broken CPU. The hard disk is new. When the system does not lock up, frame rates for 3D (tested with glxgears and xlock -mode fire) is _very_ bad - much worse than on my old P4 with ATI graphics. I read that the nv driver does not support 3D, so I tried to install the nouveau driver. I did install xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.10.20090728_3 from ports and replaced nv by nouveau in xorg.conf.

Just tried, and it compiled quick and nice. It also seems to run very good, and 3D is also at a sufficient rate (see my other reply to the list). In your case - it seems that you don't have the kernel sources installed? Populate your /usr/src tree via CVS (csup) or from the installation media in case you're using a -RELEASE system. The subtree for the kernel is /usr/src/sys. The folks recommend it to me because of some additional things, lower CPU usage, better 3D stuff other good things I'm looking forward to be able to play my (today old fashioned) Linux and wine-powered 3D games. :-) Next thing will be dual screen. I have to try that in order to form an opinion if this is just silly nonsense or helpful for my individual productivity. Some folks say that it is the recommended thing to do, is to install nvidia drivers. As I have (hopefully correctly) understood from the documentation of the nv driver, this one is only for 2D. With the present incorporation of 3D stuff into simple desktop applications this might be worth considering. PS. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace now works.

trying to put up X, am using an Nvidia card an HP Presario
Several people in this group took a lot of time and helped me when I couldn't get FBSD 7.2 running with X on an HP Presario. Now, I'm having *somewhat* *similar* problems, doing the install for 8.1. I've attached my rc,conf, the X log file, and the list of installed packages. I've also said: hald_enable=YES and dbus_enable=YES in the rc.conf file. Apparently playing with the boot loader file isn't necessary, now. Oh, I downloaded (using sys-install,) the nvidia helper system but couldn't get the NVIDIA screen logo that goes up just before X comes up.

MSI D512E video card, nVIDIA 8400GS, No Screens Detected during startx, FBDS 7.2
Hi, Where do I find the hardware compatibility/driver lists for the version(s) of X now in use on FreeBSD? I have a card that's failing (dead fan; I *WILL* try to replace) and purchased a nice, cheap MSI card with an nVIDIA GEFORCE chipset. It provides a character display but on startx I get no screens detected. The card is an MSI D512E; the chipset is GEFORCE 8400GS. Any further info will be appreciated.

Re: Headphone output doesn't work with NVidia MCP78 High Definition Audio Controller
I use a laptop with PC-BSD and couldn't get output over the headphone. The built-in speakers of the laptop work fine and keep working even when a headphone is plugged in (whereas on Windows they get muted). I tried every slider and switch in KMix, but nothing enables sound over the headphone. You need to look at the sound-related dmesg output from a verbose boot, or a boot with hw.snd.verbose=4. Then you can look at some of the suggestions in snd_hda(4): you may be able to get the headphones to work by adding the appropriate device.hints(5) as described in snd_hda(4) manpage. b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
nVidia motherboards
I thought I saw even some partial support for nVidia motherboards.. but can't find it again. I can't get even get the kernel to load. it's an Atom 32-bit board and would like to find that reference again. If you can help me look I'd love the help. --Tim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
NVIDIA driver fails with Xorg after 'gettext' update.
FreeBSD-8.0-STABLE / amd64 I just finished updating which included the 'gettext' bump. Now, I am experiencing a problem with the nvidia-driver-195.36.15. None of the 'opengl' screen savers worked. Examining the Xorg log showed an error message that the nvidia opengl module was not loading. I therefore did an RR on the port. I rebooted the system and then attempted to start KDE. I was greeted with this error message: NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (No such file or directory ).

From the /boot/loader.conf file: nvidia_load=YES # nVidia video driver I was wondering if anyone else had experienced a similar phenomena or had a suggestion on how to rectify this problem? -- Jerry freebsd.u...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
