Upgrade xorg 7.2 breaks legacy nvidia 1.0-9631 driver ...

2007-06-16 Thread Kiffin Gish
After I upgraded to xorg 7.2, I cannot get things to work anymore with my
legacy nvidia 1.0-9631 driver (I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop).

Originally, I downloaded the FreeBSD legacy driver from the official nvidia
website and installed it under the then current X11BASE=/usr/X11R6.
Everything worked just fine.

Until the upgrade to xorg 7.2, that is.

As instructed in the upgrade instructions, I changed ModulePath to
/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules in xorg.conf, which I suspect is the root of
my problems, since the original working driver has remained installed in the
old X11BASE.

I've tried to install the driver from the nvidia-driver-9631 ports
directory, but after struggling forever with all kinds of errors, I gave up
and figured the best approach would be to somehow use my current setup,
possibly copying and or linking to the right place.

Should I just reinstall the driver, but which X11BASE? How to remove the
original files without messing up my system even more?

But I am not sure where to begin. Are there any kind folks out there who can
give me a hand? 

Thanks alot in advance.

 You could launch some script in one of the consles (not in KDE)
 like:

 while true; do date  /tmp/log ; sync ; sleep 60 ; done

 and when it freeze wait some fife minutes before power cycle
 and later check if the script continued while KDE was frozen;

Ok will definatley try that.

No - although I do have a WiFi card installed that I am not using - it was

Hello again, Kiffin.

Try to add this line to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

ModulePath   /usr/X11R6/lib/modules

I want to say, mantain the module path /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules, but
add too /usr/X11R6/lib/modules. It's the way where Nvidia legacy driver
1.0-96xx still put the module when building. Maybe this guys adapt the driver 
to the new FreeBSD Xorg structure soon.

Hope this help.

Regards.

Jose.

 I've tried to install the driver from the nvidia-driver-9631 ports

KDE 3.5 Crashing

2007-06-16 Thread Gemma Fletcher
Hi list :)

Installed BSD 6.2 a few days ago and am totally new to it all.  I installed 
KDE 3.5 and it was working nicely until it juststopped.

No obvious crash - it just froze.  Had to reboot the system with the reset 
button as no other method was working.

So I thought  it might be my sound since it wasn't configured and I had read 
a few things that said that sometimes caused KDE to crash.  Also disabled a 
few buggy plugins and what not and still it keeps on freezing on me.

The annoying thing is its totally random - It could be running for several 
hours before it freezes; and sometimes it freezes the moment I log on.  Its 
frozen at last count 7 times today and I ended up having to do a some random 
hardrive check as boot up was starting to fail and logging me in as single 
mode user only.

Anyway - to get to the point; is there a log somewhere that I can check out in 
console mode which incidently never crashes that might help me pinpoint the 
problem?

Thanks in advance,
Gemma

If the users and groups are the same on the system, the -a option
to rsync should preserve owner, group, and permissions.

One can also use rsync modules in the rsyncd.conf file to specify
user and group.  Using rsync modules also has the advantages of
restricting access to the directory specified in the module, and
can also restrict access based on IP addresses.

You need aquamarine for KDE, google for aquamarine and freebsd, someone 
created a port that is usable. Then just login to kde as usual and type 
beryl-manager on a console, from then on it becomes pretty obvious.


I've tried beryl on 7.0-CURRENT myself but CTRL+ALT+Fx and back to the

Hello,

There is one strange thing going on with this combination. I saw this
many times by now: when fetch(1) is trying to download something from
http://ftp.gnu.org, it is hanging after a very small amount of data;
sometimes on 0%. After disabling pf(4), fetch(1) is not hanging any
more, so I guess that the problem is somewhere in my pf.conf. Here is
it:

 pf.conf -- begin ---
ext_if  = em0
icmp_types=echoreq

# don't filter on the loopback interface
set skip on lo0
set block-policy return

scrub all no-df random-id reassemble tcp

# setup a default deny policy
block all

# activate spoofing protection for the internal interface.
antispoof quick for lo0 inet

# pass tcp, udp, and icmp out on the external (Internet) interface.
# keep state on udp and icmp and modulate state on tcp.
pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any to $ext_if port 65522 keep state

pass in inet proto icmp all icmp-type $icmp_types keep state
pass out on $ext_if proto tcp all modulate state flags S/SA
pass out on $ext_if proto {udp, icmp} all keep state
 pf.conf -- end ---



My guess is, your path-mtu is lower at some point between you and 
ftp.gnu.org which (may or may not) result in an icmp packet indicating 
that the packet was dropped as fragmentation was needed but DF flag was set.


it is usually possible to see via tcpdump or ethereal.
try permitting all icmp packets both ways to see.

Problem with xorg 7.2 upgrade - xorg-docs and xorg-apps

2007-06-16 Thread Hello Nasty
I upgraded to xorg 7.2 a while ago, and everything seems to be working well, 
but my ports list shows the following out-of-date ports, and I can't seem to do 
anything about them:

xorg-clients-6.9.0_3   needs updating (port has 7.2)
xorg-documents-6.9.0   needs updating (port has 1.3,1)

From poking around on the net, I have gathered that these ports have been 
replaced (in 7.2) by the new ports xorg-apps and xorg-docs.  Those have 
(apparently) been successfully installed:

xorg-apps-7.2   =   up-to-date with port
xorg-docs-1.3,1 =   up-to-date with port

Nothing seems to get xorg-clients and xorg-documents out of my list.  

Portupgrade always just skips them, saying Skipping 'x11/xorg-docs' 
(xorg-documents-6.9.0) because it has already been ignored (and something 
similar for xorg-clients).

Make deinstall/make reinstall has no net effect.

I believe that I followed the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING regarding 
xorg 7.2.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get these things out of my list?

Thanks in advance for any help.
