laptop with another monitor X configuration

[Lei CHEN]

Hi experts,

I am looking a way to use both the laptop native lcd monitor and
another CRT monitor.

I pluged in the monitor, nothing happens. I can only switch between
them by pressing the Fn+monitorSwitch button on my keyboard.

I modified /etc/X11/XF86Config, as in the attachment. I have changed
few sections according to some resources I found by googling.

Has anyone got the same situation, please send me a copy of your
XF86Config or Xorg config file.

Thanks in advanced.
LEI

There was a bsdforums.org before, and closed down, and now
http://daemonforums.org,
I don't see the point of having an official forum from freebsd.

If for announcement purpose, a dynamic webpage should do just fine.
Totally my own idea

motd not compiled properly or ?

[Lei Chen]

Hi there,

I have compiled myself a RELENG_7  stable version of 7 branch.

I did a fresh install on 7.1_prerelease, and cvsup -g -L 2
stable-xxx-cvsup-file
make buildworld, everything goes as it should.

reboot, mergemaster command shows on file "motd"
--7.1_PRERELEASE
++7??:??:??
rest of motd is the same

now, based on the above showed result, I pressed "d" to keep original
version, because I don't want to have a system message shows 7:??:??:??

Now my question is, how do I just compile the "motd" in source tree, and
reinstall just that? Maybe recompile it may make it shows proper version
string.
Or if there's a method beside make buildworld again, it takes ages on my
laptop.

PS. when I plug both keyboard and mouse into an external usb hub, it works 
seamlessly.

Any ideas?

about the tmpmfs="YES" in rc.conf

[LEI CHEN]

Hi guys,

I have just upgraded to 5-stable branch, and I noticed that the
tmpmfs="YES" and tmpsize="20m" options can be put into /etc/rc.conf
directly to create a memory file system automatically.

My question is do I need to comment out the line to mount tmp on startup
in the file /etc/fstable if I added those two options above into
rc.conf?

Cheers,
LEI CHEN

Re: about the tmpmfs="YES" in rc.conf

[LEI CHEN]

I've just added those two options into /etc/rc.conf and commented out
the line in /etc/fstab. 

It works! :)

df -h output is :
Filesystem  size  used  avail  capacity  Mounted on
...
...
/dev/md031M   16k   28M0%/tmp

I am just wondering what would be the mfs size that suitable for me? I
have PIII 850 256MB laptop.

Cheers,
LEI

I've found this url
http://bsdvault.net/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=53
very helpful. 

But I got only 256Mb of memory, so I can't mount 300Mb mfs into RAM. And
therefore I can only mount 128Mb or so. Well in this case, would there
be a memory overflow during make world? And what to do if this is the
case?

disabling ACPI

[LEI CHEN]

Hi all,

 

Since I updated my box to 5-STABLE, I have ACPI problem, and I sort of
unlike it. So I am wondering how to disable acpi at startup?

 

And also, when I added apm to kernel, after restart with acpi disabled, it
says that /dev/apm does not exist, what would be the problem and how to add
apm into /dev/apm?

 

Cheers,

LEI
