Just yesterday, I installed FreeBSD 5.3-REL on the laptop of my
colleague. He owns a HP Pavillion DV1000 series.

It worked out of the box.

Though, we needed to apply a small patch to the i8xx driver, to enable
1280x768 resolution in X.

It is most likely the cause of wrong permissions.
You can try to take a look in your ~/.mozilla/firefox/ directory. The
file that holds that sort of information is calledd userpref.js

Alternatively you can simply delete ~/.mozilla/firefox directory, and
Firefox will create a fresh profile upon restart. (Note, this will
delete all your Firefox settings, bookmarks and cookie information)

Actually, this only fixes the display (copy-pasting the number to fx. a
text-editor, will still show the wrong number).

There is no known workaround at this moment.

Here's the bug report:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109029

A confirmation of the bug on non-FreeBSD systems would be extremely
useful.

Thanks.

A possible workaround would be to enable "decimal precision" in:

A bug has been filed with the KDE team.

Do you have any weird environment variables set ? Like
FETCH_BIND_ADDRESS or maybe HTTP_PROXY ?

Check out 'man 3 fetch' for more info.

Comm port woes

2004-01-14 Thread Michael L. Hostbaek
I have a box running 4.8-REL, its primary function is to provide serial
access to cisco routers and switches (for testing purposes).

Since last week no data is coming through, when connected to a device
with minicom or tip(1) - all settings have been verified and double
checked. It is working fine when connected to my FreeBSD laptop.

Is the port physically b0rken, or is it possible to somehow clear the
line ? 

Thanks in advance,

Installing 5.1 on a Proliant 3000

2003-12-10 Thread Michael L. Hostbaek
Hola,

I am trying to install 5.1-RELEASE on an old Compaq Proliant 3000. When
I boot on the cd, and choose 'default' in the bootloader - I get the
following error message - followed by a panic:

acpi: bad RSDP checksum (182)

NMI ISA D0, EISA ff

RAM parity error, likely hardware failure.

and the panic.

The server has been running fine for a long time with linux.
I have tried re-seating the RAM blocks - and I have also succeeded in
starting a linux installation.

Any ideas ? (Besides getting some new hardware)

I was hoping for something under KDE.. and installing Evolution just to

from 'man ipfw' :
{ MAC | mac } dst-mac src-mac

Match packets with a given dst-mac and src-mac addresses,
specified as the any keyword (matching any MAC address), or six
groups of hex digits separated by colons, and optionally followed
by a mask indicating how many bits are significant, as in

   MAC 10:20:30:40:50:60/33 any

Note that the order of MAC addresses (destination first,
source second) is the same as on the wire, but the opposite of the
one used for IP addresses.
