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

True. But it still looks like an early Christmas ;-) I doubt it will be
two weeks before the announcement comes.

Christmas comes early this year: there hasn't been an official announce-
ment yet and perhaps not all mirrors have synced yet, but I've seen the
ISOs on the NL mirror, so it looks like 9.1-RELEASE is out now.

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!).

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

2012-05-17 Thread A.J. "Fonz" van Werven
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?

[if_re] Dropping connectivity

2010-03-29 Thread A.J. "Fonz" van Werven
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? Thanks in advance,

Alphons

I'm getting the same when starting X manually (startx).

A patch has been submitted to this list less than an hour ago and I've
already seen the SVN commit as well. I'm currently rebuilding, you might
want to try the same. Let's hope this fixes it.

Hi,

A quick grep on the file in question revealed that there are two
functions that may panic() with "page not in any segment": the
vm_phys_paddr_to_vm_page() being patched and also the next function
vm_phys_paddr_to_segind(). I'm not exactly current with the memory
management code so this may be a very stupid question, but I'll ask it
anyway: don't both functions need to be patched?

My apologies if I'm way off the mark here, but I'm just trying to help.

Regards,

Alphons

I remember microdrives... those are from long ago, when the C64s and ZX
