Neither one is recommended for newbies, but they're pretty solid in most ways. There is additional USB 2.0 support in 5.1, so that might work better for you, but you could check the hardware notes for reference to your particular devices.

You can (and should) complete the world install from the raw console in single-user mode. If you haven't done anything but what you described, you are probably okay. The 5.x upgrade requires *close* attention to the upgrade procedure, which you didn't do. btw I did try to compile 5.1 first, but I got errors with the kernel and the world (mostly variables were redefined) That's because you didn't do the buildworld first, as you're supposed to do. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: freebsd 5.0 + monitor settings
On Tuesday 25 February 2003 21:08, someone, possibly Richard morris, typed: I was wondering is it possible or if i can change the refresh rate on XF86Config file. I've seen a line in the file that says vertrefresh 50 - 120 i was wondering if i can just have one value there and if that would change my refresh rate on my monitor because my screen is out of range at certain resolutions. that is why i need to change my refresh rate. I can assure you that the resolutions i use are supported by the monitor and video adaptor. The information you need is in the XF86Config(5) manpage, but the briefe version follows: There are infact two settings you can use in the monitor section to do this. The HorizSync options sets horizontal syncronization frequency, and VertRefresh sets the (vertical) refresh rate. The easiest way to do this, if you know the exact refresh rates your monitor wants for these resolutions, is to set them like this: (For a monitor that wants 68.5KHz horizontal and 85.0 vertical) HorizSync 68.5 VertRefresh 85.0 Be warned, this will force XFree86 to operate ONLY at those refresh rates. This will disable all modes that do not function properly at those rates. You may want to include values for each mode your monitor supports and which you want to use, this can be done like: HorizSync 31.5,68.5 VertRefresh 60.,85.0 The standard setting is to specify a range of possible values, and let the video card BIOS take its pick. Most people have non-standard monitors though. These do not follow VESA specifications and will behave strangely with range settings. Even so, setting a range is still optimal, and if you monitor supports digital controle, I would sugest rather setting the monitor to the proper CRT limits than limiting refresh rates available to your system.

The X server will use the vertica refresh and horizontal refresh frequncies that you specify in the ModeLine you're using. The two lines shown below are only used as limits that keep your X server from attempting to push the video adapter or monitor too high (possibly causing one of them to have serious problems in the process): HorizSync30.0 - 70.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 The part that tells your X server what horizontal and vertical refresh rate to use is the ModeLine if you have one. If you search in Google for +x11 +modeline you will find lots of pages that explain what a ModeLine is, how to set it up, even some links to CGI scripts that will guide you through the process of calculating the proper values for a custom ModeLine of yours. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Two problems made this use of this OS prohibitive for me, although I was hoping to stop using Debian and start using FreeBSD. 1) Awful performance on the sound subsystem under heavy load. If I copy large files, or start the X-Window while playing an MP3, it would simply stop playing while the disk is being accessed. 2) (the most important) I have a second HD with all my data in ext3. Although I could remove the journal and use it as a ext2, it simply didn't work as expected and eventually it became corrupted and the ext2utils could'nt repair it. When I installed Debian again, it spent more then 40 min fsck the disk. 3) Really degraded performance on X-Window and Galeon. their performance under Debian (xfree 4.1) is MUCH more smoother and even perceivably faster! Can anybody here confirm if these are common problems, and if there are any settings I might tune for their removal? I really wish I could change to FreeBSD. Did you read the Early Adopters Guide? FreeBSD 5.0 is still pretty new. If you're interested in a tried true version of FreeBSD, d/l and install 4.7. The 4.x branch is still under active development and there will be more releases along the 4.x line until the 5.x line works out enough of the problems for it to be as reliable as 4.x has become. Most of the problems I've seen people reporting about 5.x fall into the performance category. I think there's still a lot of debugging code in 5.0, and that slows performance a lot. I've noticed some performance issues on my 5.0 test box, although none have been as severe as you describe. If you feel like contributing, the freebsd-current mailing list might be very interested in your performance report. They've been working pretty hard to get 5.0 running well, and feedback is always helpful. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Any thoughts on why this might be the case?? this is symtomatic of the guest OS(freebsd in this case) not having advanced power management features enabled. Solaris/x86 on vmware does the same thing, unfortunately solaris(last time I tried it on vmware it was solaris 7) had _no_ power management features(e.g. issue HLT instructions) so the host OS always sat at 100% cpu, even if the guest OS was at 0% cpu usage. if you do have power management turned on(I've never used freebsd 5) then it may be a bug in vmware. I tend to lean towards the guest OS though. nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

If you're going by top, you actually want as RAM in the Free column as possible. Free RAM is wasted RAM. FreeBSD uses all available RAM not used by processes as a disk cache. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE disabling ssh access
Hi, Add the line /sbin/nologin to /etc/shells Cheers - Original Message - From: Mantas Kriauciunas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 10:09 AM Subject: FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE disabling ssh access Heya! ermmm... I just Installed 5.0-RELEASE two days ago and i have a question about adduser. i am using adduser to add users. on my 4.5 machine i was able to choose, to let users use ssh access or don't let them use by adding shell: no , what i found in 5.0 that there is no such choise, only this: Shell (sh csh tcsh bash) [sh]: /sbin/nologin adduser: ERROR: Invalid shell selection. Using default shell /bin/sh. so how to disable ssh access for the user? i looked in /etc/passwd , some accounts have /sbin/nologin but i wasn't able to do old stile like 4.5 used to let me do. so how should i fix this one?

Re: freebsd 5.0 and snapshots
Hi. On Thu, 23 Jan 2003 18:30:07 -0500 Alan Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am trying to get snapshots working on FreeBSD 5.0. I looked in the handbook on the web and the file: /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot The Readme tells you: To create a snapshot of your /var filesystem, run the command: mount -u -o snapshot /var/snapshot/snap1 /var So, i think you can only make a snapshot of a single filesystem. So, maybe your /var is not a single filesystem. If you want to be sure, type: #mount and take a look what kind of filesyste, you have. It depends on how you installed FreeBSD. Normally you will have: / /usr /tmp (/var) So, this _could_ be the problem, but i am not sure. hth asg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: FreeBSD 5.0 - 4.8 question
On Sun, Dec 29, 2002 at 01:04:07PM +0100, dick hoogendijk wrote: What will be the next step for me? I'm a bit confused, because I read something about the new coming FreeBSD-5.0-RELEASE, but later on in 2003 a new version 4.8 will come out. What's the difference between those two versions? Is 4.8 kind of an update for 4.7 and version 5.0 a completely new 'fancy' OS? http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/DP2/early-adopter.html http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html In summary, 5.0-RELEASE is going to contain some substantial new work on core parts of the Kernel (See, for instance: http://www.freebsd.org/smp/index.html). It's going to need some time for the new code to become sufficiently bedded down that it's suitable for use on production servers. Thus there will be one or more releases in the 5.x-RELEASE series before 5-STABLE is branched. In the mean time, development will continue on the 4-STABLE branch, with 4.8-RELEASE due in March 2003.
