Re: 9.2 or 10.0 and txz packages

If you mean that 10.0-RELEASE will come with a PKGNG-style package repository, then yes. 9.2-RELEASE will most likely still use the old-style pkg_* format, so if you want to use PKGNG with that you'll have to either build your own repository from ports or use someone else's repository. For example, my 9.1-RELEASE/amd64 repository is publicly available and people have also reported success with PC-BSD's repository. Hope this helps, Fonz -- I'm not completely useless, I can be used as a bad example. pgpIgD4rWR8YM.pgp Description: PGP signature

True. But it still looks like an early Christmas ;-) I doubt it will be two weeks before the announcement comes. AvW -- Obsig: developing a new sig pgpZprXgZhtVi.pgp Description: PGP signature

Assuming you are referring to the recent "Why I (don't) use FreeBSD" threads: Thank you, I agree. I read the first couple of messages but zoned out pretty quickly. In my opinion this sort of thing is more appropriate on advocacy@ (maybe not so much questions@, although I haven't read the most recent parts of these threads) and/or the forums (hint to OP: the forums are truly awesome, go to http://forums.freebsd.org, select "Off-topic" and let slip the dogs of chatter!).

Re: [stable-9] Touchpad mouse stopped working
Tom Evans wrote: > Did you mean the mouse doesn't move in xorg, or on the console? If in > xorg, have you seen this thread on x11@? First: thanks to everyone for their input. Second: to answer your question, the problem occurs both in X and on the console (with or without X running), both with or without a USB mouse plugged in. When plugged in, the USB mouse works just fine in any case. I've followed the suggestion of rebuilding x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse, but it doesn't make a difference and I'm inclined to say the problem is most likely not X-related.

[stable-9] Touchpad mouse stopped working
After moving from 9.0-RELEASE to 9-STABLE yesterday, the touchpad mouse on my netbook stopped working. When I do # /etc/rc.d/moused onestart the pointer appears and can be moved for a second or two, then it stops responding. Any thoughts? $ uname -a FreeBSD ace.skysmurf.nl 9.0-STABLE FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE #0: Thu May 17 10:49:00 CEST 2012 r...@ace.skysmurf.nl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Fonz -- Obsig: developing a new sig ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
[if_re] Dropping connectivity
It seems like recent commits may have broken if_re. After I updated last weekend (and again this morning), everything appears to be fine initially: I can ping hosts, browse the Web with Lynx, etc. But as soon as a certain amount of data has been transferred (e.g. when I start a graphical browser like Opera or Seamonkey, or I (try to) run port- snap) suddenly all connectivity vanishes: resolving no longer works, I can't even ping my modem/router. Running /etc/rc.d/netif restart doesn't help. I do get lots of watchdog timeout messages on the console. Fortunately I still have a USB WiFi adapter I can use (if_rum still works like a charm) so I'm not entirely cut off, but *some*thing appears to have happened to if_re. Any thoughts?
