Splash screen colour issues
Hello everyone, I have a FreeBSD 7.1-Release (generic kernel), and I am trying to make splash screen feature work properly, so I followed the procedure described in handbook and the splash screen actually loads, except the black is now white, red is violet, etc. So all the colours of the bitmap are messed up, and I checked, they fit the requirements and I've tried other pics and pcx format. I tried gimp, photoshop. The issue isn't pic related What could possibly be the reason?

I think they are mentioned in /usr/ports/UPDATING - I haven't updated my X yet due to the trouble it seems to cause... :-) Actually I had this problem awhile ago and then it just went away. KDE4 seemed to freeze if there is no input, literally not doing anything untill I move the mouse. So I commented out that option (which I had to add to use mouse in the first place) and all started working all right. Another WTF moment. Thought there was a couple of xorg updates since the problem appeared, it might gave been fixed.

If you have an X-desktop installed try displaying the splash screen and see how it looks there. The x-desktop should have auto loaded a driver for your video card. If the colors are ok them unplug your video card and try the motherboard default video. Well there are no colour issues on xorg (radeon driver), and I don't have internal video on motherboard, so I decided to mess with different modes, without vesa it flatout refused to work, with this messages im dmesg splash_bmp: No appropriate video mode found module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (splash_bmp, 0xc0d80b70, 0) error 19 ___ 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"
FreeBSD Upgrade: Ports That Need Rebuilding
I am planning to update to CURRENT, been reading freebsd-current for some time, apparently some ports require rebuilding as they are kernel specific, like hal, so I wonder how to rebuild those ports automatically? ___ 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"
disk cache tuning
Hello. I have a box with FreeBSD 5.4, where disk subsystem is a bottleneck. It runs several applications which access huge number of files, usually small. They do not require a lot of memory, network I/O is also not very intensive. I have read tuning(7), enabled softupdates, noatime and such. But I have an impression that most of the memory (1Gb) is not really used, while it could be used for disk cache. top(1) reports about 800Mb as inactive, and reading 200-300Mb of information from disk still causes a lot of disk activity. How can I increase the amount of memory used for disk cache without touching other subsystems ? As far as I understand, simply increasing MAXUSERS is not a good idea, because it will also increase NMBCLUSTERS and such, which I do not really want. Please Cc: me as I'm not on this list.

Disk cache tuning
Hello guys, I have an amd64 server with 8 cpu cores and 16Gb of memory, with FreeBSD 7.2. It is used as a corporate CVS server with several huge repositories (about 2Gb each), which consist of thousands of rather small files. I need to tune the system so that it caches as much files as possible and minimizes physical access to the disk. Of course, I did enable softupdates, but I have an impression that more things can be tuned. Specifically, I have read in many places that FreeBSD uses all available memory for disk cache, because disk buffers are integrated with vm pager. However, when I do cvs checkout to the same disk where the repository resides and watch memory usage (by top or systat), repeating that several times to activate the cache, I notice that for 2Gb repository system hardly uses more than 1Gb of memory (including inactive) even after 3-4 checkouts of the same repository, and disk is still used a lot. Why this happens ? How can I tell the system to use as much memory for caching as possible ? I also notice that the buffer cache expires pretty fast: the first checkout takes 2 minutes, if I do checkout again immediately, it takes 1.5 minutes, but if I do it again after waiting a minute, it takes 2 minutes again, even though the machine was completely inactive while I was waiting. Why the cache expires at all when there is a lot of free memory ? Can I somehow tell the system to keep everything cached until something is modified or some process needs memory ? Thank you in advance, please Cc: me as I'm not on this list. If there is more appropriate list for my questions, please point me to one.
