Re: Really strange resolution problems on xorg with a laptop
Has this problem been resolved? I have the same problem for a similar laptop (HP Pavilion dv5120us). The X Server 1.4.0 (FreeBSD 6.3-R) works fine, but 1.4.2 (From both 6.4 and 7.1) produce this problem. My screen is 13.25 inch x 8.25 inch in resolution 1280x800. The DPI shown in Xorg.0.log is (96, 96), which is correct according to the dpi expression listed below. Only strange # from the Xorg.0.log is the screen size 310 x 21. The screen size should be 330 x 301, which is corrected stated in xorg.conf. I wonder if this is a X Server 1.4.2 bug. Is anyway to correct this problem? or X 1.4.0 has to be used for this particular laptop till a new X Server released. -Jin - original message - On Wed, 24 Dec 2008 16:22:40 -0500, "Aryeh M.

Switch to console on ttyv1, edit Xf86config, raising top of sync/refresh ranges. 3. kill -HUP {pid of Xfree86} ... system would send me to ttyv0 (GUI). 4. If monitor complains "out of range", switch to ttyv1 again... 5. edit Xf86config, *lowering* sync/refresh ranges. 6. Back to step #3 After several "loops", I got a display back on ttyv0, and logged in to GNOME (environment of choice), which now allows me to choose at least 1280x1024 ... quid pro quo: I chose a higher res [1600x1200] in GNOME, once since then, and had to salvage the session on ttyv1 'cause GNOME didn't reset things automagically...fortunately no big files unsaved there YMMV, of course.

RE: dns resolution problems
are you absolutely sure your DNS info is correct? need current information: what is your service provider? what are the DNS numbers you are currently using? are there any other errors that you receive? from the information you have given, everything points towards bad DNS info, but, as you are positive it is NOT bad DNS info, please post your /etc/resolv.conf as you currently have it.

Sometimes if there is a DNS problem (or change) win box can still resolv old IP, because of the DNS cash... until you reboot the system. To think that FreeBSD itself have something to do with this problem is ridiculous :-) Miro To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Works from here, 4.7 RELEASE running bind. The problem doesn't occur on solaris 2.8/2.9, or windows. Are those machines on the same network? The Windows machine probably isn't doing resolution itself, so what nameserver is it using? Is your FreeBSD machine using the same one, or is it running a nameserver itself? I am running FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE, and the box is not behind a firewall. I have tried having the box resolve again multiple DNS servers with the same result. Does anyone have any ideas, or are experiencing the same problem? More specifics would help, but I doubt it's a FreeBSD issue. Places to look: How is your machine represented to the Internet? (what does its name, IP address, reverse lookup look like) How is this information different than the boxes that are working? External DNS servers may (unusually) have restrictions on who they'll respond to. Are you running a DNS server locally, or are you pointed somewhere else? (resolv.conf) How does this relate to how the other boxes are configured? When you say "can't resolve", what do you mean? Does the query never get issued, does it not get a response, or is the response not useful/correct?
