gd_curproc undefined
Hi, I tried out the DRM kernel module port and i keep getting this annoying thing saying that something called gd_curproc is undefined and so won't load the module. Any ideas on how to make it go?

So have you tried using "kldload snd_driver" after you have logged in? Or have you added a "snd_load_driver" line into loader.conf?

Re: modem problem
Hi Bruce! try typing in "add default HISADDR" at the "PPP>" prompt (as in once it is authenticated and connected). I couldn't get stuff to work until i typed this in, then data flowed sweetly.

I have a P3-500 computer and a USR Robotics Hayes U5686 modem. The modem works perfect on Win 98, Win XP and Redhat9, but on FreeBSD its works a little strange. I have FreeBSD 4.7, 4.8 and 5.1. I plug the moden into a sio port, I type ppp and term, then AT, OK comes back and I type ATD3039514014, the modem dials and connects (I enter user name and passwork), the small ppp's grow to large PPPs and I am connected. Even though I am connected, no data flows(ever). Thats the problem. Theres no link between the modem and the computer. I thought of using ifconfig to add a route. After thinking for a while, I couldn't figure out 'how to'. I tried using 'tip cuaa0'. It did work, but only once(I don't know why). I do have /etc/remote configured to work with tip. Info I have says it's partially compatible for hayes. I tried it both ways, with "at=hayes" and without it. The results are the same. I made sure the file LCK under lock existed and just to be sure, I chmod-ed 777 LCK and lock, to be sure it was authorized. Without the lock file, it came back saying /var/spool/lock/LCK__file does not exist, then crashed. On FreeBSD 4.8, it says: %tip cuaa0 uu_lock: creat error: Permision denied all ports busy On FreeBSD 5.1, it says: %tip cuaa0 /dev/cuaa0: Permision Denied link down I have been fighting this problem for 2 weeks. I re-install FreeBSD several times (yes, I rebuilt the kernel each time). For any help, thanks in advance Bruce [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Anything else I should know as a newbie? Basically read the FreeBSD handbook under /usr/share/doc/handbook/ under the FreeBSD installation, it gives good advice on how to get up and running well.
