Hi! Sorry for my bad English... Please help me to solve problem with sound in notebook Toshiba Satellite C850-B1K part number PSKCAR-00X00GRU (with latest pre-installed BIOS) and FreeBSD 9.1-RC1-i386. Works only beeper in console (if mixer igain 0), when I am press Backspace key at beginning of line, and works beep in XFCE 4.10 Exit menu. Music files are not played (zero time counter in xmms, when press File Play button ). May be incorrect sound system configured. I am try to use sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=1 but it did not help. On Win 7 Linux Mint 13 sound play fine out the box. Please, help me!

Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 -- radio stubbornly remains down at Toshiba Satellite M30-951
Hello dear mailing list participants, following situation: iwi device is configured as required in man iwi (4) in /boot/loader.conf and it is recognized during bootup. FreeBSD 7.0-Release is used. Under FreeBSD radio remains turned off. As I understood it from attempt to install iwicontrol it is considered as not needed anymore. Under Knoppix with exactly the same hardware configuration device is recognized without any problems.

Yes, of course, I have accepted license agreement. Never mind, though. Problem is solved. I found tiny hardware switch that indeed switches radio off/on on the laptop. It was in off position.

I believe there is something more I am not catching onto. It is a widescreen flatpanel that comes standard with this series of laptops.

Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 and FreeBSD 5.5
I tried installing FreeBSD 5.5 from the subscription CD on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300. I previously had FreeBSD 4.1 on this machine. All options in the boot menu hang at the same place (the last two are N/A in this case). I tried setting hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 and boot -v -c. Hangs. I tried loading the atapci_toshiba.ko module - same result.

FreeBSD 5.3 Does Not Install on Toshiba Satellite Laptop
Lazlo, this is the mobile forum you can search for more info: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/ I have a Toshiba Satellite2805-S302. It runs FreeBSD since version 3.x, If I am not mistaking versions. I am running 5.3 Stable now, just moved from 4.10. To your question... it can be a checksum error in your recorded CD, probably in the ISO image (did you check it before burning?). Try the boot version (aprox. 20 Mbytes) or the floppies. FreeBSD is solid rock of performance compared to Linux, but I recognise (*at this moment*) for some users Linux is a better *Desktop* solution. If you go for Linux , you may try Fedora Core 3 (latest).

This is not really an answer to your question, but I thought you might be interested in my experience with my Toshiba laptop (an old Tecra 8100, 500 MHz). I tried installing FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and the Debian Linux distro... all had what seemed to be pretty big problems that were going to require lots of my time to fix. I then tried the Fedora Core 2 Linux distro, and it worked so well I could hardly believe it. It worked so well, I decided to invest in a new battery, and larger hard drive. Now I've got a really functional, lightweight laptop I can use for all sorts of things... it was like finding $$$ on the street :) On a possibly more relevant note, Toshiba does run a website mail list to support folks that are installing open source OS's on their laptops.

RE: xf86config for Toshiba satellite pro laptop
Robert, Thanks so much! You're right, I mixed the numbers up! It's a 4260dvd. Anyway, I got X up and running. It took a lot of trial and error. The problem was 2 fold. First, there's a bug in sysinstall. I was getting a fail error message every time because sysinstall was looking for the new XF86Config file somewhere in the /etc folder. However, the new file was being written and put in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 folder. If everything had been put in the file correctly then all I needed to do was type startx. However, that's where my second problem occurred. I noticed that when I changed settings for setting up X in the graphical interface for configuring X, some of the lines would not be overwritten. So, I would get a line like: Driver 'vga' Chipset 'savage IX' and vise versa. When I used the text version of the configuration program, it seemed to rewrite the whole file with consistent data. Anyway, I was finally able to get it up and running - thanks to a few encouraging words for the mailing list. Thanks so much for responding!

Re: xf86config for Toshiba satellite pro laptop
Hello there, i have the same problem with an older Toshiba Satellite version (4090 CDS). I ignore the error, just like you said, i go to install a windows manager, i choose GNOME, press enter to install but it does nothing, same thing happens with any manager i choose. Since it was a fresh instalation of 5.2.1 i started again (i thought i misseg someting) and after install base system i choose to install GNOME and KDE ... and after install ... the X server failed like the previous attempts with the error just like Vaughan Moore's. I mention that Slackware 10.0 with Gnome 2.6 runs smoothly. Cristi.

Here is the log file output: (II) VGA(0): Not using mode 320x240 (no clock available for mode) (EE) VGA(0): Virtual height (0) is too small for the hardware (min 1) (II) UnloadModule: vga (II) UnloadModule: vgahw (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a (II) UnloadModule: int10 (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libint10.a (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. I tried some other vedio choices but failed as well. The second is that I also install windows 2000 in the same hard drive, after finishing installing freebsd, I can't choose which one to boot, it's always freebsd, even after I install freebsd boot manager, what should I do now to solve these? many thanks!

Re: Fw: problem with mouse driver during install / toshiba satellite 1135 laptop
I am installing FreeBSD 4.7 on my laptop, and when I get to the mouse configuration part, it seems I can't get any combination of protocol and port to test right (i.e. for mouse movement). Why such an old code base? I have some system-level software I want to play with that isn't tested to run at later versions, and will probably have problems at later versions. I would rather find out what I have to patch and rebuild than upgrade versions. [More below.] Windows says it's an Alps Pointing Device, on interrupt 12. (1) What should work? Not sure, as I don't use that particular device. I have used moused both for my Dell i5000e and for a ThinkPad 600E. (2) If I disable the mouse driver, will this affect my X Windows installation? Yes. X won't work without a pointer device. Oh, so it doesn't have its own driver... Is there maybe another testing or probing utililty besides the one in /stand/sysinstall?

Toshiba Satellite won't boot 5.0
I'm not sure if this should go to questions, current or mobile, but have often heard that if you're not sure, start with questions. Firstly, I should state that I don't know enough about the O/S to really be playing with CURRENT--I tried it recently on a whim, and it worked without much trouble, so I kept it (on a fairly vanilla hardware tower). Recently, I installed 4.7 on a Toshiba Satellite 1800-S207 without problem. I then decided to see if I could get the 5.0-DR 2 on it. I put in the cd and it hung on agp0: Ali Generic host to PCI bridge mem 0xf-0xf3ff at device 0.0 on pci0 The few lines before it--- \_SB_.PCI0.FNC0.LNKA irq 11: [ 3 4 5 7 10 11] low,level,sharable 0.17.0 (then a few repeats with different numbers at the end--in sequence 0.17.1 018.0 0.16.0 0.16.1 0.12.0 0.6.0 0.2.0 pci0: ACPI PCI bus on pcib0 (Then the line where it hangs). When I saw 5.0 was up to RC, I also tried upgrading from the 4.7 install. make buildworld etc went fine, but when I rebooted after installing the kernel, I had the same error that I had when trying to boot the machine from the DR2 CD. Searching deja I didn't find anything exactly resembling my problem, but saw something similar from May. One suggestion had been to disable PCI BIOS calls with set machdep.bios.pci=disable. I tried that and it went past the agp0 hang but then hung at usb0: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support. The few lines before the hang are pci1: ACPI PCI bus on pcib1 pci1: display, VGA at device 0.0 (no driver attached) ohci0: AcerLabs M5237 (Aladdin-V) USB controller mem 0xf7eff000-0xf7ef irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci0 I repeat, I don't know enough about the O/S to really play with CURRENT and am only posting this since 5.0 is up to RC status. I apologize if I'm leaving out necessary information, or am supplying too much unecessary information. -- Sincerely, Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 D575 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: Well, yeah.
