Re: Xorg or XFree86?
Eric Crist wrote: Hello list, I've seen a lot of posts over the past couple months regarding installation of X.org. I was wondering, is it that much better than XFree86 that it's worth the hassle? If so, what are those advantages? Thanks, Eric - first up worth the hassle 1.) on a new install, (5.x, i don't run any 4.x systems anymore), there is no hassle. At least, no more than on XFree86. 2.) updating to x.org on a previous XFree86 isn't all that difficult, *if* all the instructions in ports/UPDATING are followed to the letter. Also, remember that it is a major upgrade to the system, and a lot of libraries, so occasionally, linked applications can fail. A simple rebuild fixes this. (note: usually. We should all recognise what this one means) second up advantages 1.) primarly, it's lisence is a bit more friendly to bsd, particularly redistributing. I'm not an expert, lots of people are, if your interested in this, hit up google. 2.) it's an update of the x system (as of now anyway, XFree86 has a new version too, which AFAIK, hasn't made it to ports yet. i may be wrong here). I can't speak as to all the benefits, but i know for me at least, it fixed an AGP device issue i had nicely. the bottom line is, YMMV. but, x.org is now the default in 5.x, so i suppose the more unofficial support method is to go with the default... hope this helps. ~j -- Jonathan T.

Does this make sense? absolutly. in this case, i *beleive* it should be an option to set up the routing table on your local machine to not change your default route when i connets (which i probably is doing), and only add direct routes to the vpn connection. i know this is possible using a *nix vpn client, as it is on macosx.

5.2 and Dell Inspiron 5100
Hello - recently purchased a dell inspiron 5100. Out of the box, 5.2 installed wonderfully. More than wonderfully. The only issue I ran into was with X. I am unable to use X with agp support compiled into the kernel. While this is a perfectly acceptable workaround, I was curious if there is a fix for this issue (DRI/DRM would be great sometime down the road). If not, and me not being a coder, what information might I be able to provide that would help the process along in getting this card to work properly out-of-the-box.

The X server accesses this area at startup to get information about the display, so it fails. My solution was to compile the video BIOS into the X server, agreed a very nasty workaround.

That is the really important thing: there shouldn't be any other traffic on the system. Do everything step by step and keep a logfile to check if everything worked o.k. . Do something like # make buildworld logfile In case your connection breaks, buildworld will go on and you can check everything when it is up again. With # tail -f logfile you can check the advance anytime you whish. Uli. alternativly, check out the screen utility. it keeps tty's alive on disconnects (among other things) /usr/ports/misc/screen ~j -- Yesterday upon the stair I saw a man who wasn't there, he wasn't there again today, oh how i wish he'd go away Rev.

Re: mpd VPN Server / W2K Clients
Bill Asher wrote: Hello, I am trying to configure mpd for road warrior w2k clients to connect to, and I'm running into a few issues, hoping some of you could help out. I'm not sure if there are other issues that need to be configured differently besides mpd, like ppp or natd, etc. Or do you need to change options in the W2K VPN client. Below are my specs, mpd config files, and error message. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. THANKS!!! *snip* i recently posted a howto on getting mpd up an working with winxp. the steps should be almost identical. you can find it here. if it still dosn't work, feel free to follow up to me directly. http://freebsdaddicts.org/modules.php?name=Sectionsop=viewarticleartid=9 ~j -- Yesterday upon the stair I saw a man who wasn't there, he wasn't there again today, oh how i wish he'd go away Rev.

Assuming this is intentional (you didn't update the whole ports tree for some reason?) then there's no problem. If you wanted to update the whole tree, then you need to figure out what you did wrong with your update operation (e.g., maybe you need to get rid of a refuse file for the ports collection). Also note, that there errors are not completely unheard of. I run a ports cvsup nightly, update the index database, and send the output of portversion to myself. looking back in my logs, it looks as if i almost always have at least a few of these types of errors ~jon -- Yesterday upon the stair I saw a man who wasn't there, he wasn't there again today, oh how i wish he'd go away Rev.

Mail works fine for all users, this just affects the periodic scripts. I have tried grep'ing for the incorrect hostname in the /etc/periodic/blah... But haven't found anything. the easiest thing to check right now is the output of hostname. also, i *think* that the periodic scripts send mail to root (i.e., they don't add the domain), so perhaps sendmail is adding this? try: # sendmail -bv root if that is the case, check /etc/mail/sendmail.cf for the hardcoded hostname, or give sendmail a bit of -HUP (make restart in /etc/mail) hope this helps ~jon - Yesterday upon the stair I saw a man who wasn't there, he wasn't there again today, oh how i wish he'd go away Rev.
