In search of a video card
I'm in search for a decent video card. I currently have an Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS. It worked pretty well i386 FreeBSD 6.2. I have upgraded my home machine and I am running amd64 FreeBSD 7.2 and it just refuses to go into X. It just hangs. I've been poking around and, based on what I read, some FreeBSD developers and Nvidia have gotten into a finger pointing contest as to what is the problem. Its all very nice but doesn't help me much. So, can any one recommend a good video card? What I'm looking for is * Works with amd64 FreeBSD 7.2 * DVI * PCI-E x16 * 512 MB or more * Not going to cost an arm and a leg Thanks Josef -- Josef Grosch | Another day closer to a | FreeBSD 7.2 jgro...@mooseriver.com | Micro$oft free world | Berkeley, Ca. pgp2Kani25kzS.pgp Description: PGP signature

In particular, does a card that doesn't do 3d acceleration work? How about 2d? The open source Nvidia driver pretty much sucks. Probably because the proprietary Nvidia blob (which you were presumably using on i386) is one of the most functional X video drivers around, so there's not a lot of incentive to work on the open source version. But you can't use the proprietary blob on amd64, so you get the open source driver, and - well you've experienced it. The ATI radeon driver - it's open source, there's no proprietary blob - is actually pretty good. Except that 2d 3d acceleration support is, um, variable. If you have to have 2d 3d acceleration, I don't believe you have a good option for FreeBSD on amd64, at least not until the kernel tweaks Nvidia needs are done (there has been some motion on that front recently). But I don't really need it, so I haven't spent any time looking for such a card. If you're ok with solid - if basic - video performance, I'll recommend pretty much any radeon card. I've used a number of them to drive dual 1920x1200 displays on a variety of systems for a couple of years now. Amazon has cards that meet your listed requirements for under US$40. mike Thanks, I don't need 2d 3d acceleration. I just need a card that will handle WindowMaker on a 24 inch Dell monitor at 1920x1200 and as long as the flesh tones on my JPGs don't suck I'm happy. Thanks for the advice. I guess I'm going to make a trip to Fry's Friday.

Problem with 6.1 xorg on IBM Thinkpad T22
I have found a problem with FreeBSD 6.1. I installed 6.1 from an ISO on to my IBM Thinkpad T22. 'X -configure' produces an xorg.conf.new which looks ok. Running 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new' causes the screen to lock. A ctlaltbackspace does not clear the problem. The system needs to rebooted to clear the problem. I just check again and found that X is not running but it looks like when X exists it leaves the screen in a weird state. I've install FreeBSD 6.0 from an ISO and did not find this problem.

Better yet, put a label on CD #1 that says Hot porn reader inside! then bundle with a computer mag. Thousands would install just to see our porn reader.

Interesting Java problem
I'm fooling around with java and have installed the linux port of java 1.3
on a 4.2-STABLE system (last cvsuped and make world on Jan 30). I'm running
a very simple java program ;
public class HelloWorld
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
It compiles cleanly but when I run it I get ;
erie% java HelloWorld
Hello World!
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: cannot uninstall alt signal stack
erie%
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Does anyone know what happened to the file 40upgrade.tgz?

I've used both, and RedHat is not that much better, if at all. Just tried Redhat last month for the first time. Damn install is more confusing that FreeBSD.. Or maybe I just got accustomed to the freebsd install ;-) I have done installs on FreeBSD, Redhat, HP/UX, and Solaris and I have to say that Redhat is very confusing. FreeBSD does have it's warts but it is better than Redhat. HP/UX and Solaris also have their problems, just ask Nicole Harrington how she liked installing Solaris on an X86 box, but they are better than FreeBSD but not by as much as you would think. HP/UX install looks a lot like FreeBSD but not as limited as FreeBSD. The ability to have more than 2 buttons on the screen and too be able to backup is a major blessing.
