They both have kernel modules in /boot/kernel which could be set up to load in /dev/rc.conf(maybe compiled into kernel?

Re: FreeBSD + OpenGL
On Wed, 3 Nov 2004, jason wrote: Jeremy W. Sheaffer wrote: I just purchased an emachines laptop with an amd64 and an ati radeon 9600 which is now running FreeBSD 5.3-BETA4 beautifully. I need to be able to run OpenGL programs using, among others, the ARB_vertex_program, ARB_fragment_program, and ARB_occlusion_query extensions. These are all part of OpenGL 1.5, which is implemented by the current version of Mesa, Mesa-6.2. Xorg, as shipped with FreeBSD uses Mesa-5.1 as the renderer, so I upgraded from source to Xorg 6.8.1, which is current stable. This uses Mesa-6.1, which *should* give me the functionality I need--but it doesn't. glxinfo tells me my renderer version is OpenGL '1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.1)'. So I manually replaced the Mesa subtree in Xorg with Mesa-6.2. 6.2 is primarily a bugfix upgrade, but I hoped. I also went through the Mesa source and made certain that all conditionally compiled code that involves the extensions I need are built, and then rebuilt Xorg. Still no dice. Version string is '1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2)', and the extension I need are not being exported. I'm not certain that this is actually a FreeBSD question, but it touches on three different systems, so I thought I would try here first. Does anyone have any experience with programmable graphics under FreeBSD. I realize, of course, that the drivers aren't there to really support my card--I could care less if I get acceleration! Mesa exports the functionality in software, and I need to be able to use it. Any suggestions? Jeremy Using OpenGL depends on 3 things: program support, os, drivers. FreeBSD does not have the newest port of Mesa, but you can get around that easily enough. Ofcourse your software would have support. This leaves drivers on FreeBSD. I know for a fact the drivers are getting a little old, but I am not capable of updating them. Here is an example(not that everyfile need to be days old to support what you have): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/drm/radeon_cp.c -9 months, 4 weeks ago http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dri/drm/shared/radeon_cp.c -10 days, 23 hours ago Thats just half of it. Forget about anything over the R200 core(radeon 8500, the low 9000s are just variations on the R200 and work too) if you can not use the precompiled ati linux drivers. I hate to say it, but go to linux or windows since that is what you need to get yor work done. I recommend Gentoo, its very BSD like. Thanks for the input. I solved the problem. Read on: Actually, it doesn't depend on OS or drivers if you are using a unaccelerated software implementation. E.G. Mesa w/o DRI. I enquired on the Mesa users mailing list and here is the answer I got from Brian Paul, the author and primary maintainer of Mesa: ] The problem is libGL.so and the server-side GLX protocol dispatcher ] don't currently support the ARB extensions you mention above. ] ] The simplest solution would be for you to download/compile Mesa-6.2. ] This will result in a stand-alone libGL.so library that renders with ] Xlib, instead of going over the GLX protocol to the X server. Unfortunately, I had already done this, but what I didn't notice at that time was that the Mesa makefile with FreeBSD config has a broken install. It wasn't symlinking libGL.so.1.5 to libGL.so, so I was still trying to run programs against the old OpenGL libraries. Making the links myself, I now have the extensions I need. Granted, I have zero acceleration, but I have access to other machines to run the code fast. The machine in question only needs to be able to develop and run for debugging purposes. As for Windows or Linux--I wouldn't be caught dead trying to do development in Windows. And ATI support under Linux is awful and not worth the effort. I would still either be unaccelerated or not have the necessary extensions. The machine in my office runs Slack with a high end NV35 based card, and the NVIDIA drivers are great--only very slightly behind the Windows ones. Anyway, thanks again for the help.

The Realtek version is £170 and the Intel version says to contact them for a price, I think it's going to be in the £200 mark somewhere, as I have seen a board similar somewhere else with 3xIntels (maybe 2) and it was £212 ish.. so, if the 8100B's are improved, I'll look into getting that and saving me some money. -- Internet Explorer?

Re: WiFi 802.11b or g setup
By modem you mean network card, yeah? Do the usb2 hub and the pcmcia slot show up? And have you tried removing that - don't think freebsd supports usb2 hubs yet, it might be causing some conflicts. The USB2 hub has to be recognized since I installed the system with a CD ROM attached to this hub. I have since used it several times. And, yes, I mean network card. But it works like a modem from my perspective since I am always traveling and hooking into a different wifi station all of the time. The analogy is carried further since I always have to login, and it is disconnected when not in use. (Card is turned off using the software, the same as any modem. A 'Null Modem' is a simple connection between 2 machine.) Now, as for the card not being seen. This is one of the problems. Something seems to be interfering. I am re-installing the entire system with less system software. I'll see if I can take a more cautious approach. I think that one or more of the system services that I installed was blocking it. Plus, I think that I need to read up some more on what is required for a FreeBSD connection. One quick question. Are any of the 802.11g cards supported under FreeBSD?

Trying to understand flock()
Greetings friends,
I wonder if someone would be kind enough to enlighten me about the
semantics of the flock(2) function. I have RTFM'd, and I am sad to
say that I am still rather mystified that flock() doesn't seem to
do what it is documented as doing. (I am testing it on 4.10-RELEASE,
by the way.)
The short test program attached below illustrates the source of my
abundant confusion. When I compile this program with -DUSE_FCNTL
(thus forcing it to use fcntl(2) to implement exclusive file locking)
and then execute it, the resulting behavior is exactly what I expect,
i.e. the program prints the string Temp file locked (1), and then it
pauses for 10 seconds, and then it prints Temp file locked (2). The
delay time between the appearance of the two message indicates clearly
that exclusive file locking is working as expected.
When I compile this program WITHOUT the -DUSE_FCNTL option however
(thus forcing the program to use flock() rather then fcntl() for file
locking), there is no apparent delay between the printing of the first
message and the printing of the second message.
That is what has me mystified.
Obviously, there is something (or maybe several things) about the actual
semantics of flock(2) that I don't understand. I would appreciate it if
someone would enlighten me about that.
Regards,
rfg

I personally don't feel that any OS is safer then the other. It's just what the administrator does. A Linux guru can't secure a Windows machine as good as a Windows guru can, and vica versa. One can say that a particular OS attracks more experienced administrators. Perhaps. But again it's the administrator which is the crucial fact of an OS being secure or not. It's rather easy to say that Windows is less secure then Linux or BSD because there are more viruses/exploits for Window. Well, I think that services like Sendmail and Apache can contain more exploits then Windows, to be honest. Of course, I can't prove anything, but that's just my personal feeling about it.

The answer: Yes, it will work. The rl0 driver works fine. Be advised it's not the greatest NIC and you may drop packets under heavy load. I've never experienced packet loss, but I've read about it and others on the list have hinted at it before. Well lets see. If a driver drops packets, it doesn't work fine, now does it? Not only is the not the greatest NIC, its probably the worst, evidenced by the author's own comments.

no sound with snd_es137x
hi everyone,
I am running 5.3-STABLE and have trouble with my Creative SB AudioPCI
CT4730 soundcard.
I tried to use sound and snd_es137x both as modules or as kernel parts
but it doesn't change anything : there is no sound.
My card is detected as shown by dmesg :
pcm0: Creative SB AudioPCI CT4730 port 0x10c0-0x10df,0x1080-0x10bf irq 5
at device 9.0 on pci0
pcm0: snd_es137x (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default)
pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
But I don't have volume control using either mixer or aumix :
bash-3.00$ cat /var/db/mixer0-state
bass 50:50 pcm 75:75 speaker 0:0 line 75:75 mic 0:0 cd 75:75 rec 0:0
ogain 50:50 line1 75:75 phin 0:0 phout 0:0 video 75:75
No complaints in logs and {ogg,mpg}123 plays as usual except that no sound
is to be heard.
I'm a bit confused...

kernel tunable
Hi, I have a dell poweredge server with a Remote Access Card installed. I successfully installed FreeBSD 4.10 on this system and it works great. Unfortunately the RAC card does not accept input from a remote keyboard when there is not a local keyboard installed. I beleive this is because the kernel does not detect the keyboard and disables it and then switches the console to the serial device. My question is how do I force the keyboard to always be enabled? I am not positive where I would do this and what the flag would be. Perhaps atkdb=0x01 ???

Re: FreeBSD + OpenGL
Thanks for the input. I solved the problem. Read on: Actually, it doesn't depend on OS or drivers if you are using a unaccelerated software implementation. E.G. Mesa w/o DRI. I enquired on the Mesa users mailing list and here is the answer I got from Brian Paul, the author and primary maintainer of Mesa: ] The problem is libGL.so and the server-side GLX protocol dispatcher ] don't currently support the ARB extensions you mention above. ] ] The simplest solution would be for you to download/compile Mesa-6.2. ] This will result in a stand-alone libGL.so library that renders with ] Xlib, instead of going over the GLX protocol to the X server. Unfortunately, I had already done this, but what I didn't notice at that time was that the Mesa makefile with FreeBSD config has a broken install. It wasn't symlinking libGL.so.1.5 to libGL.so, so I was still trying to run programs against the old OpenGL libraries. Making the links myself, I now have the extensions I need. Granted, I have zero acceleration, but I have access to other machines to run the code fast. The machine in question only needs to be able to develop and run for debugging purposes. As for Windows or Linux--I wouldn't be caught dead trying to do development in Windows. And ATI support under Linux is awful and not worth the effort. I would still either be unaccelerated or not have the necessary extensions. The machine in my office runs Slack with a high end NV35 based card, and the NVIDIA drivers are great--only very slightly behind the Windows ones. Anyway, thanks again for the help.

The instructions say to add the command to my ~/.xinit file, but if I do that, then bbkeys will load with whatever I start (If I understood it correctly. Like I said, I've not had to do this before). Oh yeah... I'm running KDM from /etc/ttys at startup (if that matters). Well, you could do the following (which is dirty, but popped into my head) if (ps | grep blackbox | grep -v grep /dev/null); then bbkeys; fi Thanks for the reply, Eric. That was pretty much my initial idea, but it would be something that would always have to be running... Not that I'm _that_ short on resources, just thought there should be a cleaner way of doing it. I've written a simple script to run blackbox and bbkeys using the ampersand, and then pointed blackbox.desktop to the script. I discovered that with the line blackbox bbkeys in the script, the bbscript remains when I exit blackbox, and I have to close bbscript to return to KDM. That would lead me to believe that the two binaries run independant of each other (makes sense). However, when I login and close bbkeys, then blackbox abruptly closes (apparently a clean kill), and I return to KDM. So much for the binaries running independantly. I don't understand why. I've also discovered that the ampersand doesn't seem to _really_ mean that binaries are run simultaniously, so that would mean the second binary is actually started on a succeeding clock cycle? kinda makes sense. Then I switched the line in the script to read bbkeys blackbox Now, when I exit blackbox, bbkeys goes away as well. I don't see it when I 'ps -xa', I don't see multiple instances when I log back in, and I don't see any core dumps. Therefore I have to assume that this is also a clean kill (which is okay with me, but I still don't understand why). Obviously the ampersand is not FreeBSD specific, but *NIX in general so I've googled around and searched some generic UNIX sites/tutorials, but haven't found anything explaining how it really works (beyond saying that it's used to run binaries simultaneously). I'd like to learn more, but I'm not sure where to begin. If it's the hardware that I'm needing to understand better, then I would _like_ to avoid starting at the this is a NAND gate level.

Re: Trying to understand flock()
Ronald F. Guilmette wrote:
Greetings friends,
I wonder if someone would be kind enough to enlighten me about the
semantics of the flock(2) function. I have RTFM'd, and I am sad to
say that I am still rather mystified that flock() doesn't seem to
do what it is documented as doing. (I am testing it on 4.10-RELEASE,
by the way.)
The short test program attached below illustrates the source of my
abundant confusion. When I compile this program with -DUSE_FCNTL
(thus forcing it to use fcntl(2) to implement exclusive file locking)
and then execute it, the resulting behavior is exactly what I expect,
i.e. the program prints the string Temp file locked (1), and then it
pauses for 10 seconds, and then it prints Temp file locked (2). The
delay time between the appearance of the two message indicates clearly
that exclusive file locking is working as expected.
When I compile this program WITHOUT the -DUSE_FCNTL option however
(thus forcing the program to use flock() rather then fcntl() for file
locking), there is no apparent delay between the printing of the first
message and the printing of the second message.
That is what has me mystified.
Obviously, there is something (or maybe several things) about the actual
semantics of flock(2) that I don't understand. I would appreciate it if
someone would enlighten me about that.

I am on 5.3RC1, and I know your version is not the same, but have you
updated you docs? It works just like updating the system. From my
manpage you are missing
#include sys/file.h (I see you have this, but I will
leave it anyway)
#define LOCK_SH0x01 /* shared file lock */
#define LOCK_EX0x02 /* exclusive file lock */
#define LOCK_NB0x04 /* don't block when locking */
#define LOCK_UN0x08 /* unlock file */
int
flock(int fd, int operation);
An example:
int
flock(int fd, int LOCK_EX);
Where is the above in your code? I must say I have only done some
generic C programming for my school class, but this seems easly enough.
I hope it is outof date docs on your system causing you pain.

freebsd mpd server and win2k clients
Hello, I've set up mpd 3.18 on a freebsd box. I want to be able to allow remote user's to map samba network drives to server resources. I thought to firstly configure this locally, both machines the server and a win2ksp4 box are on the same subnet. I've started mpd, i've got the log of the transaction below, and created a vpn connection under win2k. When i atempt to connect i'm getting an error 741 The local computer does not support the required encryption type. I've gone in to the win2k box's vpn properties, i have changed the security settings from both the optional encryption setting disconnect if none, to the recommended option, and the maximum security option, all with the same result. When i hit apply, i get the message about insecure protocols pap, spap, and so forth, and would i like to remove them? I again have gone yes, leaving the protocols, and no removing them from the list of atempted protocols, no luck. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
