You proven already that X is supported on your system when you used the Xorg 
-configure command. You got to the default screen that is shown whenusing that 
method of testing the X server. You have simply just not used the correct 
driver or you have not set up your X config file properly. 

Do you really need to have Gnome as well? It is a rather bloated destop and you 
can have a really good development environment without all of the Gnome 
components. It is, of course, your choice but, personally I'd go for an X 
environment that is less hassle.

I found a link for you on google, it might be of some use to you. This person 
has set up Gnome and provided some examples of configuring the system in a way 
that could help:

Chesar

[Andrea Venturoli]

Hello.
I'm trying to deploy this:
http://chesar.echa.europa.eu/

I'm using tomcat7 (but tried tomcat6) and JDK 1.6 (that's the only 
allowed version).


When I start Tomcat, I get:

Any hint on this?
Of course they support Red Hat Linux, not FreeBSD, but I though Java and 
Tomcat were Java and Tomcat...

new to subversion

[Robert Huff]

One quick question:

I've converted from csup to subversion for ports and docs.
Ports works fine, but for docs, I get messages like:

Skipped 'mn_MN.UTF-8' -- Node remains in conflict

Deleting the tree and pulling a fresh chackout has not helped.
Any suggestions?

svn commit: r240807 - in stable/9/contrib/bind9: . lib/dns lib/dns/include/dns

[Jamie Paul Griffin]

Hi

This morning at about 7 am, I noticed to commits to stable/9 that I wanted to 
pull in and so did and then rebuilt from source. 

Just now, I noticed this: svn commit: r240807 - in stable/9/contrib/bind9: . 
lib/dns lib/dns/include/dns

I really can't be bother to requildworld again, can I just go into 
/usr/src/contrib/bind9 and make, build, install that bit? It does affect me do 
I should really update to this commit, up to now i've only rebuilt the entire 
system from source rather than individual code commits.

Cheers, Jamie

How to configure USB wifi stick?

[Fbsd8]

Looking for howto on configuring a
Cisco Linksys AE2500 USB wifi stick.
When I plug it in all I get is the USB msg
"ugen3.2:  at usbus3".
FreeBSD handbook does not have section on usb wifi setup.

It actually took some effort for me to get a working java/tomcat
framework.  Which version and architecture  of FreeBSD?

I'm using tomcat-6.0.35 and openjdk6-b24_4, if that helps.

8.3/amd64.

I'll try openjdk either with tomcat6 or 7.

Still I'd like to get some insight on the error I get and what could

Change to your top-most working copy dir (the one you obtained with checkout):
$ cd working-copy-dir
$ svn status
If you have done no local edits yet or do not care of loosing them (save it
otherwise), then do the following:
$ svn update --accept theirs-full
$ svn status

Did it help ?

Create loader.conf self.
cd /boot/
edit loader.conf
/autoboot_delay/="3"
When you reboot your system and you see, that you only have 3 or 2 
seconds instead 10 your loader.conf will be load.

When i remeber right, put bwi_load="YES" in loader.conf

From command line you can make "kldload bwi" to load and test it 
without reboot.

After reading the man bwi I see that driver is just for b/g not n.
I bought my AE2500 because it supports "n" mode which gives you 3 times 
faster connection wifi speed.

wifi drivers support for "n" standard

[Fbsd8]

I have 3 usb wifi sticks.
One supports b/g standard only and it configures with no problems.
The other 2 support the "n" standard for faster connection speed between 
the usb stick and the network AP.

These 2 usb wifi sticks do not configure no mater what I do.
Thinking the Freebsd wifi drivers have not been updated for "n" standard 
yet. My Cisco Linksys AE2500 USB wifi stick does not work with the bwi 
driver. Has any body gotten this device to work?

Hi,

According to this page: http://wikidevi.com/wiki/Linksys_AE2500 the AE2500,
which was first released about one year ago, uses the BCM4323 chipset. I do
not see support for this chipset listed in
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/release/8.3.0/sys/dev/bwn/ or
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/release/8.3.0/sys/dev/usb/wlan/

If you want a USB dongle that works with FreeBSD I recommend finding one
with an RALINK chipset, these seem to be well supported (however I have not
tried it with version 8). AFAIK 'wireless n' is not supported w/ the RALINK
driver (usb is rum driver at
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/release/8.3.0/sys/dev/usb/wlan/if_rum.c?revision=234063&view=markup).
Older D-Link dongles use RALINK chipsets, but it seems that newer ones use
the BC chipsets and are not supported. You should be able to chose from a
selection of RALINK based devices on ebay for around $10 US.

If you want to connect to 'wireless n' I recommend finding a device with an
Atheros chipset (however I do not believe there is presently a driver for
Atheros based USB dongles, there is one in the OpenBSD source which could
be ported.) One thing to note, you may need to run FreeBSD 9 or
10.0-CURRENT to use the newer Atheros drivers.
