ATI Radeon HD5500 driver question

[Gary Aitken]

Trying to set up a new box 9.0-RELEASE w/ X; has ATI Radeon HD5500 card.

X.org -config says:
  Missing output drivers.  Configuration failed.

From X.org I see one is supposed to get linux drivers from ati/amd,
but this info is over 2 years old and
  http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
only allows choices of drivers for windoze.

Can anyone point me to a useable driver, or if these cards are 
essentially unusable, make a suggestion for a reliable card suitable for 
non-gaming (2-D) X work?


Should one use an Nvidia card with the Linux 295.53 driver?

Thanks,

Gary

FreeBSD will use a hardware RAID device -only- if the particular type of
RAID chip/chipset/controller is known to the included device drivers.

>From some casual searching on the 'net, I can't find anything that indicates
-what- RAID controller is in the Optiplex 755.

IF you know, or can find that info, check: 
  
to see if that disk controller is listed. 

If yes, it should 'just work'.  If it is not listed, you're out of luck.

If you can't in the controller informtion, you'll need to post something
that includes the boot-up messages showing what FreeBSD found for disks
and disk controllers.

Optiplex 755 RAID 1 logical drive configuration ignored by FreeBSD 9.0-R installation

[tess lamont]

I created a RAID 1 drive in a Dell Optiplex 755, using the internal RAID 
controller and two 160GB drives, naming the logical drive "freebsd90". 
Within the system setup menu, the boot menu shows that "freebsd90" is the 
first (and only) bootable hard drive.


Yet when I try to install FreeBSD 9.0-R, FreeBSD ignores the hardware RAID 
and sees the two separate drives, instead of seeing a single logical 
drive.


Is there a way to get FreeBSD 9.0 to recognize the Optiplex 755 RAID 1 
drive?  If not, can I just install FreeBSD to one of the drives and expect 
the hardware RAID to mirror it properly?

Re: Newsyslog | Cronjob faulty?

By 'my' crontab, do you mean the system crontab, /etc/crontab ?

If so, that's nearly but not quite the default syntax of:

#minute hourmdaymonth   wdaywho command
# Rotate log files every hour, if necessary.
0   *   *   *   *   rootnewsyslog

Note the single '0'.  I don't know if '00' is valid.  And it doesn't 
mean 'at midnight', it means whenever the minute is 0, any hour, any 
day, any month, any weekday; ie newsyslog is run hourly, on the hour.

And the default entry in /etc/newsyslog.conf for maillog is:

/var/log/maillog640  7 *@T00  JC

So it's newsyslog using newsyslog.conf(5) that creates maillog if it 
doesn't yet exist, rotates it to maillog.0 at midnight (T00), thereafter
compressing it with bzip2 (J).

Looks likely two instances of newsyslog racing at midnight; one makes 
maillog.0.bz2 from the just-rolled maillog.0, the other finds maillog.0 
has disappeared before getting to run bzip2 on it?  So, two files per 
day, and the above message?

 > On my other FreeBSD server the same cronjob goes ok...

Check /etc/crontab and /etc/newsyslog.conf on both, and make sure you're 
not also trying to run a user crontab for root, apart from /etc/crontab?

I tried what you suggested, and after discovering that dbus was not installed

and rebuilding and reinstalling, your suggestion worked.  So at least there is
a work around until the real cause is found and fixed.

Mouse stopped working in X

[J. W. Ballantine]

Hi,

Before the update of x11 on 4/21/2012, X was working fine, but now
when I startx, my usb and touchpad mouse are no longer found.  The 
mouse works in terminal mode, and hald and dbus are started in
/etc/rc.conf.

I rebuilt x11, but that had no effect, any ideas on what I might
do to get the mouse working again?

I previously connected to the internet using ppp with the -nat option
and now my connection has changed - so that makes sense.

So I implemented natd.

Unfortunately natd does not work as yet.  I followed the setup as laid 
out in "man natd" and also used the layout in;

http://www.freebsddiary.org/ipfw.php

Here is my natd setup

firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_script="/etc/firewall.rules"

Still I have server connection to the internet on rl0 and server

If there are any commands that would help collect information leading
