You may also install nvidia driver from ports ( /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver or search with cd /usr/ports; make quicksearch key="nvidia") - it was newer than on the official nvidia website when Ive tried it :-) You know, FreeBSD is very clean and logical but pretty raw system - if something is not working, then you did not do something right, not the system - unlike Linux the BSD will not do anything for you without your knowledge (its like Slacware against Ubuntu). If you have all of the drivers and packages installed maybe HAL and DBUS is not enabled to work in /etc/rc.conf search for: dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" If you have installed the GDM package, then the only thing to place in /etc.rc.conf is to enable the gdm and it will take care of everything else (HAL/DBUS): gnome_enable="YES" > I see.

Sorry, I dont have these cables, previously I was using also FT2232(C I think) chip with the LPC2148 board... > Yes I have installed the binary libftdi and openocd for FreeBSD 8. > But I am more interested to be able to build latest git version > of OpenOCD. For that it seems to fail with the stock libftdi. Well, in FreeBSD you don't build the packages yourself from scratch - this is the reason that Ports exists - to be able to build the package from source with some options enabled/disabled, but the OS specific quirks are done by the maintainer. Also no development or unstable package can be considered as stable (ie. my last cdrutils troubles). But I think this might be a good idea to create openocd-devel port if thats what you need, Ill think about it and check if its possible to build straight from the git repository :-) > Anyway, I think I will only use this FreeBSD installation as > a test system.

Well, maybe not difficult, but different at first glance. Then it is even more simple because you get the basics right once, and use them for years - here the internal organization does not change as fast as in other operating systems :-) Best regards, Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
