I have mplayer in 4.8-STABLE and 5.1-RC1. What specifically would you like?

i386-undermydesk-freebsd?

2003-06-06 Thread jimd_NOSPAM
What does "i386-undermydesk-freebsd" refer to? What is it used for? Is there
an "i386-inthedrawer-freebsd", or "i386-intheXbox-freebsd"?

Re: cvsup 06/05/2003 breaks nvidia driver

2003-06-06 Thread jimd_NOSPAM
Thanks for the suggestion about recompiling the nvidia driver, but I do after
each kernel compile and install, so that isn't the answer, though not a bad
idea. Recompiles of both the Linux-nvidia-port and the standalone-nvidia
driver failed, so I am in the process, now, of backing out of everything that
was updated.

Are there any suggestions for better diagnosing of the problem?

Re: cvsup 06/05/2003 breaks nvidia driver

2003-06-06 Thread jimd_nospam
If you started X (by itself) and the screen flickered on and off, then I
would suspect that it is being told to use a video mode that your card, or
more likely - monitor, won't support. If that is true, then you could be in
danger of damaging your monitor.


1) Got all available documentation available (online and from supplied
 manuals) on my flat-panel monitor and video card with respect to video
 modes, including horizontal and vertical frequencies

2) Manually modified a previously existing (FBSD-4.8) XF86Config file to
 include the proper frequencies and raw modelines (without all of the
 frequency information) for the identified video modes from the documentation

3) Downloaded the FreeBSD nvidia driver from nvidia.com

4) Compiled and installed the nvidia driver

5) Included nvidia enable in /boot/loader.conf

6) Started X by itself to make sure that it was stable with the default mode
 that I had chosen in the XF86Config file (ie; the basic/default X window was
 steady)

7) Started X + Gnome and used xvidtune to fine tune the modelines and choose
 which to use

8) Found some reference to two settable sysctl variables (hw.nvidiaAGP..)
 and "enabled" them, though they don't appear to be necessary for normal
 operation

9) Found some reference (nvidia MANual page?) about three AGP "modes"
 definable in the XF86Config file (chooses between OS AGP support versus
 onboard AGP support), though they don't seem to be necessary

10) Recompile nvidia driver after every 5.1 kernel recompile


Worked with 5.1-BETA1, and 5.1-BETA2 (up until the last source update, May
28th or so). Works with 5.1-RC1. I did not try 5.0.

cvsup 06/05/2003 breaks nvidia driver

2003-06-05 Thread jimd_NOSPAM
I am not on my 5.1-BETA2 system right now, so I don't have any useful
details, but after CVSuping /usr/src early 05/06/2003 (after midnight), then
build world and recompiling and installing "my" kernel, the nvidia driver
"checks out" when X is loaded with a failure to initialize the driver.

The system in question has run 5.1-BETA1 and earlier 5.1-BETA2 code before
without any nvidia driver problem.

In the meantime, any suggestions on how to provide useful information, other
than just the XFree86.0.log file, would be helpful. I have used both of the
"native" nvidia driver and the ports-linux version (once), but tend to stay
with the "native" version (1.0-3203).

5.1-BETA2 Syslog/Named problems

2003-05-29 Thread jimd_NOSPAM
5.1-BETA2 (05/24) install (cvsup 05/28 updated) is experiencing
syslog/named problems not encountered under 5.1-BETA1. Named is running as
it was in 5.1-BETA1 and BETA2 before 05/28 cvsup. An NSSWITCH.CONF file
was added to see if that would make any difference, but it did not.


Snippet from boot messages:

Starting syslogd.
May 29 00:33:40   syslogd: bind: Can't assign requested address
syslogd: child pid 140 exited with return code 1
Starting named.
opensocket_f: bind([0.0.0.0].0): Can't assign requested address

Instead of simple text lines, pkg_info is returning what looks like
"escaped words" after clean install of 5.1-BETA2:
