Need sample xorg.conf for Intel Q35 Express chipset
Hello All, I just installed FreeBSD-8.0-i386 on my office system. I can't find anything like the xf86cfg/xf86config tools for configuring X that used to come with FreeBSD earlier. The only utility I could find is xorg-edit, but this is nowhere as user-friendly as the earlier tools. Can somebody please send me a sample xorg.conf for Intel Q35 Express chipset (384 MB video RAM) and a PNP Dell LCD monitor which is happiest @ (1440X900 resolution/ 32-bit colour / 60 Hz refresh) in Windows ?

Tuning for very little RAM
Its been a while- work's has been keeping me very busy for months now. I have revived an old laptop which has very little RAM, and it is absolutely hammering the swap. I'm trying to set it up as a demo for some skeptics with no money, so I need email, internet (with plugins), openoffice, acrobat, and wine. Aside from all that though, for the academics of it how can I help this situation? The laptop has around 100MB RAM, with 16k free, and has a new install of FreeBSD 8.0.

Re: 7.2-RELEASE-p5 and kernel panic with mpt driver
It's a little difficult to tell from the lack of info you've provided, but I'd assume you're running a release to which the patch has not been applied. To do this, you'd need to upgrade to 7-STABLE, 8-RELEASE, or 8-STABLE. CURRENT would work too, but that's not really a candidate for production servers and you should think hard about putting STABLE on one. That being said, STABLE is generally quite stable and I don't have a problem with one in production provided they are reasonably tested before deployment. -- Adam Vande More My supfile uses the tag *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7_2 The docs on stable say to use RELENG_7 for which I assumed was out of date with the docs not always being updated frequently.

7.2-RELEASE-p5 and kernel panic with mpt driver
Hi folks. I updated my server from 7.0 to 7.2 over the Christmas period (sources updated to 26th Dec I think). I have long suspected there was an issue with a hard drive in the server but the hosts told me that the useless messages logged by 7.0 were normal. Well it turns out one of the drives failed today and caused the array to keep changing status. This in turn caused about 20 kernel panics in until the hosts pulled the drive and put a new one. I noted someone else talking about this back in May on the FreeBSD-stable list and the outcome seemed to be that a patch was rolled in but it would appear that whatever this patch is - I don't have it! Can anyone point me in the right direction?

This would stick a fairly hefty spanner in the works. It certainly made quite a mess but it's surprising how well the system has been running with all this damage. Thanks for your comments and suggestions regarding the rebuilding process. Although the procedure I had in mind was similar some of your suggestions hadn't occurred to me and are much appreciated, I would almost certainly have overlooked /compat/linux and the need to re-run config-recursive. I've copied my system over to a spare PC so I can rebuild all the ports on the original machine without loosing access to a (sort of) working system. All the ports have been deinstalled from the original machine and I will now start work on re-installing the ports. Rather than run a single massive upgrade job I'll follow my normal practise of getting xorg and my nvidia driver working first then install the rest in a big batch. -- Mike Clarke ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Windows NT and XP both use a built-in boot loader that can be used to select the boot partition. You can use it to dual-boot Windows and FreeBSD, or multiple versions of Windows (or both). There is a FreeBSD FAQ that explains how to configure it at (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADER). Basically, you edit the c:\boot.ini file and do a bit of other magic. In Vista and Windows 7 it changed to some new method that can still boot your choice of partitions, but the native configuration tool provided can only configure it to boot different versions of Windows. To configure it to boot FreeBSD you need a third-party tool (EasyBCD is popular). -- -- Bob Johnson ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: FreeBSD 2.0.5 Release

Re: FreeBSD 2.0.5 Release
Paul, You'll need either a *nix machine with 'dd' or rawwrite.exe (should be on the cd image in the /tools/ folder). You need to write 'root.flp' to a floppy disk similar to the way you'd write an .iso image to a cdrom. dd if=root.flp of=/dev/fd0<- assuming existing FreeBSD box, or rawwrite.exe root.flp a: <- from a dos/windows box Depending on the FreeBSD release, (IIRC 2.0.5 only requires one), you'd need one or two disks for the .flp images. -- Nathan Vidican nat...@vidican.com Quoting Paul Shi : Actually, I do have a floppy drive on my computer (what a piece of old junk...)

copying a disk with ignoring errors
I recall a case when I had a hard disk that had got bad sectors and it wasn't accessible through normal mounting anymore. Then a tool came into the game that - I believe - Poul Henning had recommended or written for this purpose. It copies a disk sector by sector to a file (kind of dd), but ignores errors, it just skips sectors it couldn't read (after a couple of retries). The result was, that one had a - albeit - worm-eaten - image of the disk allowing to access the filesystem and getting to the important files with a little luck these not being amongst the corrupted data. Anyone knowing what this little tool was named? Something like diskcopy, devcopy, I forgot. -- Christoph ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I'm guessing there's some issue we're both unaware of. Perhaps someone with a better grok on the situation will post. Do I need to use the bootonly.iso as well? What am I missing here? I know my drive that I'm booting from is in perfect working order (DVD Super Multi-Format DVD+/-R(W), HP, less then a year old with no problems prior). You could try the bootonly,iso, but the disc you are using does the same thing, and more. Bootonly is just the installer program, and is intended to be used when you want to installer over the network, like in the old floppy days. Disc1 should have the installer and all the necessary "chunks" to get a working environment without a network connection. All the hardware up to this point appears to be detected just fine. That's good to hear. As I mentioned, hopefully someone else will have a better clue on this, as I've not had the problem for years. I've also not burned a CD for FreeBSD on Windows *ever*, so I'm thinking it could be related to that, somehow or other, despite the fact that you can "see" everything.

I'd recommend using openjdk6 instead of Diablo if you want to maximise performance. Diablo is getting old and isn't available natively for 8.x (its runs as a compatible binary with the compat7x port installed). IIRC there is an option to tell the JVM to use as much RAM as possible, but I don't recall it off the top of my head.
