I honestly don't grok the whole thing yet.
The driver reports as disabled all parts of the CODEC that are unused in
specific configuration. It is quite usual to have half of CODEC unused.
To avoid unexpected effects driver mutes all disabled controls.
According to information reported by CODEC, this mixer is really unused.
I see no problem from the driver side there.
We, IMVHO, probably just should add a patch inside hdaa_patches.c
for this case:
case HDA_CODEC_ALC269:
if (subid == 0x10438437){ //0x10438437 is my subsystem id.
w = hdaa_widget_get(devinfo, 15);
if(w != NULL)
//some magic to unmute it ?
}
break;
What do you think?
I think Realtek engineers got crazy. They not only created several
different CODECs sharing the same ID (my laptop also uses variant of
ALC269, but it has no such problem), but also violated their own specs
and information reported by CODEC. Patch below should hide problematic
muter from the driver. Solution is far from perfect, but that is best I
can propose without having more information. Please test it and report
about results.

Re: yelp could not be built because of libxul dependency (10.0 vs. 2)
from Ewald Jenisch a...@jenisch.at: I'm trying to get my system up2date using portupgrade as usual. However during the upgrade process I ran into a problem during upgrade of yelp: === yelp-2.30.2_4 depends on package: libxul2 - not found === Found libxul-10.0.10, but you need to upgrade to libxul2. UPDATING has an entry for www/libxul of 20120910 that says ...If you want to stay with 1.9.2... So in order to make yelp build again, does this mean I've got to de-install libxul-10.0.10 and install /usr/ports/www/libxul19 again? Thanks much in advance for your help, -ewald I posted a message on this same issue with gnash and mentioned also yelp. In the case of gnash, libxul19 is supposed to install a file /usr/local/lib/libxul/xpidl but libxul-10.0.9 doesn't. Maybe the yelp port wants/needs this file too? That was only a few days ago, maybe libxul was updated to 10.0.10 just a day or two ago? libxul19 wouldn't install, both because of conflict with libxul and because libxul19 was marked vulnerable. So I appear stuck until they fix this bug. File a bug report?

But if you ever plan on using an SSD the future, you need to align things to 1MBytes or 2MBytes. This is why Windows Vista and Windows 7 aligns its partitions to 1MByte boundaries. ...and quite honestly FreeBSD should too. I am aware 9.1-RELEASE supposedly addresses this -- however I have not determined if the alignment size chosen by the committer was 4096 or 1MB/2MB. I have a gut feeling it's the former, and that's bad. With 1MByte or 2MByte alignment, performance on 512-byte MHDDs would be fine, performance on 4096-byte MHDDs would be fine, and performance on SSDs would be fine. Next: in case it's not made clear to readers from Warren's statements: the magical 8 divisor he's using comes from 4096/512 (how many 512 bytes are there in a 4096-byte sector). Thus, for 1MByte alignment the value would be 1048576/512 or 2048. For 2MByte alignment the value would be 2097152/512 or 4096. Thank You Jeremy! In an effort to bring concluding info from the original thread, on some MRB partitioned drives (spinning media in this case) gpart seems unable to align the containing -t freebsd slice to 4K boundaries. However subsequent creation of -t freebsd-ufs and -t freebsd-swap partitions within the slice align correctly. To make this alignment on 1M boundaries instead of 4K boundaries the -a 1M should be used instead of -a 4K. Example gpart commands for MBR partition table aligned to 1M sector size for SSD: gpart create -s MBR mirror/gm0 gpart add -t freebsd -a 1M mirror/gm0 # ignore possible warning mirror/gm0s1 added, but partition is not aligned # create the bsdlabel partitions in slice 1 (s1) gpart create -s BSD mirror/gm0s1 gpart add -t freebsd-swap -a 1M -s 8g mirror/gm0s1 gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 1M mirror/gm0s1 # put bootcode on the MBR and mark the first slice active gpart bootcode -b /boot/mbr mirror/gm0 gpart set -a active -i 1 mirror/gm0 # put bootcode on the bsdlabel gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot mirror/gm0s1 ___ 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

ZFS HBAs with 8 ports?
I am looking for a fairly dense HBA for a ZFS system. I currently use LSI 2008 chip sets but the boards (e.g., 9211-8i) are limited to eight disks and I have twenty four disks, consuming four of my six MB slots. With two other cards, that leaves me no empty slots. I looked at the 9280-24i4e (I also need an external interface) but it appears MegaRAID+LSI-2108 /does not/ support JBOD, but that is also unclear. One of a few notes in LSI's configuration guide hints: NOTE Integrated MegaRAID displays new drives as Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD). For MegaRAID, unless the inserted drive contains valid DDF metadata, new drives display as JBOD. Rebuilds start only on Unconfigured Good drives, so you have to change the new drive state from JBOD to Unconfigured Good to start a rebuild. That's far from a decleration of useful JBOD and I've seen the term JBOD to mean different things. Do you know of a fairly dense card known to be useful for ZFS?

I would like to use the 9.0 installer from this point but it wants to add BSD partitions to the 282M space. I am not sure after much man-ing and google-ing what gpart commands are required. I guess I could use sysinstall at this point but learning gpart seems like a good thing. I assume I need to do something like: gpart add set -a active -i 4 ada04 (not sure geom is correct) gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot0 ada04 and then add the mounts. I would like / swap /var 10g /usr 20g /home (the rest) but am somewhat lost about the syntax and geom values. thanks for any help _ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com d...@safeport.com Voice: 301-217-9220 Fax: 301-217-9277 ___ 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 assume I need to do something like: gpart add set -a active -i 4 ada04 (not sure geom is correct) No, for slice 4, it would be ada0s4. For the MBR setup, bootcode must be added to both the MBR (ada0) and the slice. gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot0 ada04 and then add the mounts. I would like / swap /var 10g /usr 20g /home (the rest) but am somewhat lost about the syntax and geom values. thanks for any help bsdlabel partitions are created inside a slice. No idea whether the partition numbers being out of order will be a problem... gpart create -s bsd ada0s4 gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot ada0s4 Then add partitions inside that: gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 2g ada0s4 gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s 4g ada0s4 gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -2 10g ada0s4 ... I strongly suggest taking advantage of labels with the -l option. ___ 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
