Re: Which xorg driver/setup to use to get all the buttons for a Logitech MX518
I have IMWheel installed and setup, and below is the mouse setting for my xorg.conf file, however. Buttons 1-7 work just perfectly, however, 8 mimics the wheel-down, and 9 and 10 refuse to do anything, no matther what I do with imwheel or the utility that lets me remap the buttons Oh, and I was wrong in an earlier post, it isn't the driver that they posted and I couldn't use, it was the protocol (ignore my terminology, and not the sample mouse-config part with "evdev" in it). current mouse section of xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Buttons" "10" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection ~/.imwheelrc none, Thumb1, Alt_R|Left none, Thumb2, Alt_R|Right none, Left, Alt_R|Left none, Right, Alt_R|Right ~/.xsession and ~/.xinitrc exec startkde imwheel -k -b "6789" & I've tried using every variant of xmodmap that I could to alter the mapping of 6-10, however, nothing gets buttons other than 6 and 7 to work properly, and one of the others (I suspect it's 8) to mimic a completely different button. Unfortunately, button 7 is the only button that I don't like usin gon this mouse (hard to twist my hand to press it). By "not work properly", I mean that in any mapping other than the default, (except reversing 6 and 7) with xmodmap, the buttons either do nothing (normally), or act in a manner not previously specifice (usually by mimicking a scroll up or down button). Mapping 9 and 10 into the place of 6 and 7 (i.e. ' xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 9 10 8 6 7" ' or ' xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 9 10 6 7 8" ') ensures that no buttons beyond 5 work. I strongly suspect that signals from buttons 8-10 aren't reaching the software that handles them properly. 8 is either being misread or sent wrong, 9 and 10 appear to simply be dropped.

Or something else? If you have your printer working : under cups, then I would think that gimp would print to it. I have cups running. I'd have thought that too, so I'm doing something insanely stupid. I can print to my other HP printer, but it understands .ps natively. If the answer to printing from gimp is 'just print a .ps' then I'm happy. Once you have setup cups correctly you can simply type # lpr your_image.jpg and it will be printed out. I can print test pages with the CUPS interface w/o a problem. I'll try directly printing a simple color PS document next. I just realized that I haven't tried to do that yet. There might be a very simple reason for your problems: Cups' lpr program lives in /usr/local/bin/lpr and thus will be shadowed by FreeBSD's native /usr/bin/lpr . Try something like # /usr/local/bin/lpr your_image.jpg If that works we will have to set some links and everything will be fine.

RE: ATA Drive Issues
Beto, I am currently trying to upgrade one without customers on it to 6.0. But as was the problem with 5.4 the problems don't show up until the machine is under high load. So even under 6 I won't have a clue if the issues are fixed until I get the customers on it. So it doesn't make alot of difference. I checked with the manufacturer or the machine and they assure me that they installed brand new high quality 80/40 cables. But then again what did I expect them to say. So do you know of a good high quality 80/40 manufacture and where I can buy some new cables? What's the best of the best? At Supermicro's recommendation I already phlashed to the latest bios. Well it is good to know you think 6 is better than 5.4. But then again you are running SATA and we all know 6 runs SATA better.

ACPI disables network (why?)
I've been meaning to ask this one for awhile. I'm running 5.4-STABLE and I cannot use my network card *without* booting with ACPI enabled. The net contains trouble with people having this type of issue with Realtek cards and ACPI *enabled*. I have a Gigabyte m/b with an onbard adapter that is assigned the sk driver. So the symptom is "watchdog timeout" during DHCP discovery at the boot stage. My networking is non-functional if I try to boot with ACPI. dmesg says (during a successful boot): pcib2: at device 14.0 on pci0 pci2: on pcib2 skc0: port 0xc000-0xc0ff mem 0xfb00-0xfb003fff irq 19 at device 11.0 on pci2 skc0: Marvell Yukon Lite Gigabit Ethernet rev.

If you say so. I don't find a cachine nameserver to _ever_ be overkill. In fact, I run one on my laptop _just_ for the laptop. I do this because I've learned that I can never trust other folks DNS to be reliable, and I never know who the laptop will be connected to.

Re: Can FreeBSD safely use a (un-booted from) drive that is invisible to the BIOS?
Danny, FWIW, my FBSD 6 is running on a new "80GB" IDE disk my Asus A7V266 (Athlon mobo from end-2001) thought was 8GB in size. I set the disk type to manual in the (latest) BIOS, and defined the geometry as seen by sysinstall. It's the only device on the primary channel, running as master, CD-ROM is on the secondary. The system boots (no dual boot) and runs fine, although the drive isn't listed by the BIOS at POST (the CD-ROM is) and all disk is visible to FBSD: # df -h Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a496M126M330M28%/ /dev/ad0s1d496M974K455M 0%/tmp /dev/ad0s1e 34G7.0G 24G22%/usr /dev/ad0s1f 34G4.5G 27G14%/var However... # cat /var/log/dmesg.yesterday | grep ad0 ad0: setting PIO4 on VIA 8233 chip ad0: setting UDMA100 on VIA 8233 chip ad0: 76319MB at ata0-master UDMA100 ad0: 156301488 sectors [155061C/16H/63S] 16 sectors/interrupt 1 depth queue GEOM: new disk ad0 ad0: VIA check1 failed ad0: Adaptec check1 failed ad0: LSI (v3) check1 failed ad0: LSI (v2) check1 failed ad0: FreeBSD check1 failed Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a ... which it then succeeds to do.

Why don't you partition the drive, copy whatever data you have on ad0 to it, move it to another machine, and see what happens? At least at this point you have nothing to lose.

I also get the same behaviour when the second drive is attached as a slave on the first controller (e.g. as ad1).

It's an old BIOS, the options are limited, but it is set to "Auto" (choices Auto, User, and None). I had a thought and changed the addressing mode from "Auto" to "LBA" but it made no difference. The only difference between selecting "Auto" and "None" in the BIOS is that when the setting is "Auto", the machine hangs at the following and will not boot: Secondary Master: Detecting [Press F4 to skip] At this point, the machine is completely stuck -- pressing F4 does nothing, neither does pressing del> if I recall correctly.

I happen to have a stuck message. So I'll see if I can get the bugger sent off. Okay, I renamed the little beast from Qf to qf and sendmail whined about it being invalid or something. So I poked around in the mqueue directory. In it I found two files: dfk2VKp7im043605 (This is the body of the email) qfk2VKp7im043605 (This is the sender stuff) Unless you have the associated df file then it's lost. But to veryify look inside a Qf file and see what turns up. If you don't see the body of a message then it looks like it is lost. > Is there any one who knows how to revert and > re-submit these messages ??? YAY! I did it! backup your files first! I took the above files, hopeing that the df & Qf pair were there, in this case they were. If not already shut down, turn off the queue from /etc/mail with a make stop-mspq Did I mention that it's a good idea at this point to backup your queue? Back it up. Rename all the Qf files to qf (or to test, just a df qf pair) ensure that group permissions are rw (I don't know if it is important but my guess it is because they are going to have be erased by the queuer) Start the queue back up with make start-mspq Something you might want to try (again back your stuff up and I didn't try this by the way) rename all the files, move them to the mqueue directory, chown them to :daemon (they are probably :smmsp Or something like that, but basicaly make the group match the same group of a given directory). then try and tickle sendmail to sending the items off. Probably sendmail -bp might kick it. Anyway, hope something there helps. BTW, I looked through sendmail source at queue.c and there's a flag called bogus and if it's not true then sendmail stucks an ugly message in your maillog about uid/gid not matching. I think that has to do with the particular group owner of a given queue directory and if things aren't kosher then BAM! you get the ugly message. I know I did.

icewm tools
Hey, ive tried to download and compile IceWM Control Panel, it required python for an install shield, so I got python, and it needed py-gtk, so I got py24-gtk from ports, all that went fine, I tried to run the install shield, and it gave me errors about really strange stuff So I tried IceWM Control Center, required qt, so I got qt, but when i ran ./configure, it says i dont have the qt libraries, any suggestions? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The last time he touched the 5.x branch was for 5.3. I had a weird issue with a 5.3->5.4 upgrade a while back. My tape drive disappeared :(. I didn't have time to investigate, so I just backed down to 5.3, which works fine while I work up a schedule to migrate to 6.X. -- Anish Mistry pgp0NZXsOaVjE.pgp Description: PGP signature
Video on webservers
Greetings, I have my own freebsd box that is a webserver (running apache). My wife has a family oriented website on this server. She has videos that she has taken with dvd camcorder.

ATA Drive Issues
What is the problem with 5.4 and ATA drives? I am running the latest release of FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p11. I have two basic ATA drives, no raids and no scsi anything. Every now and then under a bit of load the harddrive freezes with either a kernel panic or a Write_DMA error. I have to reboot the machine and run fsck -y to recover. Sometimes I have to run it twice. As per several posts that were similar I have the following uneffectively enabled in my loader.conf file. hw.ata.ata_dma=0 hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 However, this hasn't fixed the problem. From the amount of issues similar to mine I am going to take a whack at the fact that I don't think it is strickly a DMA or drive issue. The DMA issue is just the result of a deeper underlying problem. Maybe something in the kernel or drivers. This same issue is relevant for 3 brand new Supermicro machines all running nearly the same Western Digital drives. 4 drives are 200GB WDs and 1 is a 160GB WD. All with brand new cables. Since this is all brand new equipment please don't pass this off as a bad cable. It isn't. As for the drives I have smarttools running on these systems now and there are no bad sectors and the drive health is all clean. Absolutely no issues as reported by smarttools.

RE: DHCPD config
Let me see if I understand you correctly. Your saying that dhcp client has no built in way to communicate to dhcpd the dns ip address it receives at boot time or during the normal lease update process? That your suggesting the work around is to customize the dhclient-script code at the point where it determines the /etc/resolv.conf file gets deleted and re-written with the new dns ip address info, by adding code to parse into the dhcpd.conf file replacing the option line for dns ip addresses with the new ip address? Well I looked at that script code and it's way above my ability to write script code at that level. The other suggestion of adding my own LAN DNS server is over kill because my LAN just has 2 pc's on it and the only purpose of the LAN is to share a single dynamic IP address from my ISP. There must be a lot of other people in the same boat as I am who have all ready customized the dhclient-script or more properly the /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks file to edit the dhcpd.conf file with the correct DNS ip address. Do you know of any web sites that contain dhcp scripts? *** Kris Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I think the answer you are looking for lies in > dhclient-script.

Basically, "have dhclient-script rewrite the dhcpd.conf". Running your own nameserver and pointing the internal DHCP clients to it is another option, but slightly less resistant to failures. Doing both will get you the best of both worlds. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

FreeBSD uses BIOS routines to start the boot process, then uses its own idea of what's on the disk. So, as far as I know, you will only have a problem if they are different enough to either cause the boot process to fail, or on a dual boot system, to cause Windows to think the partitions are in different places than does FreeBSD, or if your BIOS is picky about the partition table. A few years ago I started ignoring that message and it's worked for me. I just let sysinstall do what it wants (I believe I started that practice when a bug in sysinstall gave me no choice). I *think* that with modern block addressed, i/o buffered disks, on which the "physical geometry" is an illusion anyway, the only real problem you can run into is different ideas of the total size of the disk, i.e. where the last usable block is. One "geometry" might give you a few megabytes more than another geometry, but the difference is at the end of the disk. That isn't going to have any effect on booting (assuming the BIOS is willing to start the boot process), and not likely to even be a problem when dual booting. > > I do have one concern.

The BIOS routines will still be able to read the first few sectors to start the boot process. If your BIOS is so picky that it notices that the partition table claims to use bytes beyond what it thinks is the end of the disk (or some other imagined offense), and refuses to boot, then you might have a problem. I've seen such picky BIOSes, but not for several years. I think (hope) that manufacturers are learning that quibbling over such things doesn't make the system better. If you were to change the geometry settings of a disk after you put a filesystem on it, you would likely trigger other issues, but that's not what you're asking. > Thank you for your kind attention.

RE: Can FreeBSD safely use a (un-booted from) drive that is invisible to the BIOS?
You have 2 problems here. bios not seeing the HD and the old FBSD HD geometry WARNING. For the FBSD HD geometry WARNING you can just let FBSD use what ever it thinks it should be. This is not a problem. Your bios problem is most likely a hardware config thing.

Re: Reprocessing sendmail failed messages
Kris, thanks for your attempts, but I'm not sure you understand what I mean... I cannot run a queue manually on these messages because sendmail thinks they are permanent errors. So any queue runs on these messages produce nothing. On this box we don't run a sendmail daemon. We only relay mail to another server when the sendmail daemon gets called. That is why those messages are in the clientmqueue dir instead of the regular mqueue dir. My real issue is that I now have these bunch of messages that won't get processed, because sendmail assumes they are permanent failures. The q files are named with a capital Q in front of them, is this why they are ignored ? Is there any one who knows how to revert and re-submit these messages ??? Thanks, Tim.

Ah, yes. You got hit by that one. I have a couple of times and almost mentioned it, but was unsure of how you were using the terminology so I didn't want to add any more to the issue just then. I don't know just why that happens sometimes -- someone else might be able to explain. Some fragment of left over data must confuse things.

The *.flp files are byte-for-byte images of the floppy, not files you should place on a floppy. If you want to create FreeBSD install-floppies from DOS or Windows you need the "fdimage.exe" utility. You can find it on a FreeBSD ftp server in the "tools" directory.

The case is exactly analogous, except that the sendmail flags are in /var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid and should read: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m and you need to set 'sendmail_msp_queue_flags' in /etc/rc.conf to override them. - Hope that helps. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Basically, "have dhclient-script rewrite the dhcpd.conf". Running your own nameserver and pointing the internal DHCP clients to it is another option, but slightly less resistant to failures.

kde plugins -- getting konqueror to play .wmv files?
I have installed mplayer, its codecs, and kmplayer from the ports on FreeBSD 6.0, and am trying to get konqueror to play embedded wmv's. I get an error saying that the plugin for application type x-mplayer2 has not been found. I checked the kmplayer port to see where it put the plugin. It's at /usr/local/lib/kde3/libkmplayerpart.so. I check the plugin paths. Not only is /usr/local/lib/kde3/ not included, konqueror seems to have registered only one plugin, "Netscape plugins." I add this path and tell it to scan for new plugins. It gets to 20%, then crashes, starts up and crashes, and does this a few more times. It seems to take chunks of my file associations with it, as I start getting random "application type octet-stream" errors when KDE applications start, and I have to go fix that (http://www.mepislovers.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=15061&forum=9). Does anyone know how to get konqueror to accept plugins, this one especially, and get this to work?

Re: flp wont load to floppies
right, if you are trying to copy the image directly to a fat16 (windows format) floppy disk, you might run out of room because the fat16 fs takes up some space on the disk. Also, the disks might be bad and be covered with bad sectors that you can't use. Make sure you are doing it the right way and try some other disks too. The last time I installed, I had to boot from floppy and went through about 4 or 5 disks before I had enough good ones.

Reprocessing sendmail failed messages
Hi All, ok, I know this isn't the right list, but I've already tried the sendmail group, and no response, so I'm hoping that there might be some sendmail gurus on this list that can help me... After a temporary DNS outage, several machines that we run have email messages on them that sendmail attempted to relay to our mail cluster, but failed because they could not find the host name of the server they were relaying to. So, now, I have hundreds of messages in the clientmqueue directory that are marked as having permanent fatal errors. The top of the d file looks like this : - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (reason: 550 Host unknown) - Transcript of session follows - 550 5.1.2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Host unknown (Name server: ..com: host not found) I see that there are many of these message that are important, and want to save and send them. Is there a way to get sendmail to re-attempt to send these messages ? I think it just ignores them right now because of those lines.

You can. All functionality that libgnugetopt provides is now included in FreeBSD's libc. It's pretty unlikely that you have anything left on your system that actually *links* to libgnugetopt by now - just deinstalling it and deleting the recorded dependencies afterwards with pkgdb -F will most likely work just fine. If you want to make absolutely sure, delete libgnugetopt and then recompile every port that had a dependency on it recorded.

Hope that helps you in your quest. ~Mr. Anderson __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Or something else? If you have your printer working under cups, then I would think that gimp would print to it. I remember when I was using an HP2000c, it wasn't listed under gimp either, but I was able to install it there because I was able to use it with cups. Failing that, there are other programs you can use to print the adjusted jpg file, kuickshow is one, openoffice2.0.2 has several, kde has several besides kuickshow, gnome2 has several. Warner, I know you are expert on FreeBSD, and know you know your way around a computer at least as well as I do, if not better, I have several emails from you concerning ACPI, and you show up in various other lists that I belong to, so I know who you are. My question to you is: do you have some hidden reason for showing up on questions and acting like a newbie, or are you sincerely looking for help here. With the hand holding your asking for, I'm beginning to wonder. If you do in-fact, need the help, then you should know that without providing information, that you haven't been volunteering, we aren't going to get anywhere fast.

Which xorg driver/setup to use to get all the buttons for a Logitech MX518
Hello, I had this listed in my question about the appropriate format to ask many questions (which was answered this morning by a general question format post to the group). At any rate, I figured I'd make a fresh-clean question post that was less unpleasnt, and here it is. I've googled the problem in general, tried looking around xorg and this site, but I couldn't find any useful information on getting my MX518 working with all of it's buttons in BSD (were I to downgrade back to Linux, I could, but I'd rather not do that, ports is much more useful than the extra three buttons). At any rate, could someone tell me what driver to use, and what device to point it to? Right now I just have the xorg defualt setup, with the options to tell it to use the scroll wheel and 10 buttons (although it's only able to handle 7).

Re: Apache Httpd - Access error
Have you tried setting up the part I have below here, which occures right after the server admin email address? The example shows the info for a test machine I have running on my network at home. # ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself. # This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify # it explicitly to prevent problems during startup. # # If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here. # ServerName 192.168.1.95:80 If I remember correctly, I had a similar problem (on a Windows test machine) as to what you described, and I did not have the ServerName set.
