Belkin PS/2 to USB converter, Not Pointing

2005-03-04 Thread Jed Clear
Installing the IOGear GCS1734 USB KVM seems to have made the whole issue go away. Of course installing the KVM took a few tries to find the "right" power cycling and reboot combination to get any functionality. It looked like the whole USB infrastructure of the KVM was DoA, initially. On the o

I'm running FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p1 on a Phenom II. I'm trying to rebuild world as a load test. However it keeps failing at the same spot while compiling cc1. I'm not using -j or any other flag, just a simple "make buildworld". I've "rm -rf /usr/src/* /usr/obj/* and re-cvsup'd the whole tree
