RE: ps does not work after a cvsupdate to 4.0-STABLE
Yes i did, i found the solution in the Dutch FreeBSD mailinglist [EMAIL PROTECTED] FAQ IIRC. libkvm is out of sync. cd /usr/src/lib/libkvm make cleandir make cleandir make obj make depend make all install cd /usr/src/bin/ps make cleandir make cleandir make obj make depend make all install This did work fine.

Re: [OT] Finding people with GSM phones (was Re: GPS heads up )
Mike Smith wrote: There were some famous cases where some criminals were located by tracking down their cell phone. The police needed some decision from court to do that, but after that, it was a short way to go. The GSM nets have some of this ability built in, to track phones. The operators only don't want the "normal" citizen or user to know about that. This capability of GSM was well known when it was introduced in .au, but when my phone was stolen, the telco bastards wouldn't admit to being able to tell me anything about where it was (even though I could still call it...). What's being proposed here sounds just slightly scary. No, think very, very scary. What's already possible is frightening enough. Yes, there are some public safety benefits, and if I were really doing anything criminal the last thing I'd want to have with me is a cell phone. But, it's universally true that the only criminals caught are the stupid ones. BTW, you do realize that in many cases "off" for your cell phone doesn't really mean off, right? :) Doug -- "Live free or die" - State motto of my ancestral homeland, New Hampshire Do YOU Yahoo!?

mmap cdev function in device drivers
Hello, I have taken it upon myself to write a device driver to access the 3dfx voodoo cards, just like the 3dfx linux driver that is available. I am using the linux code as a reference and have come to a brick wall while writing the cdev mmap function. What exactly is the return value of the device_mmap(...) function supposed to be? What the linux driver basically does is it maps the device's memory directly into userland memory, that part of the mmap functionality in FreeBSD 4.0 seems to be handled by the vm, all it seem to want is an address returned, type int, from looking at the other drivers. Is this the address of the memory region mapped by the PCI BIOS (in this case the 0x100 region between 0xec00 and 0xecff), or an address of a mapped region within the kernel memory area? I had it return the former and it crashed the machine, and trying to use bus_alloc_resource(...) with the SYS_RES_MEMORY parameter just won't map any memory -- Coleman Kane President, UC Free O.S.
