Another alternative is to install the firefox plugin called DownloadHelper.

terrible mplayer performance
Ok. I'm stuck. Mplayer's performance is worse on this laptop than it is on my Toshiba running with a half-speed processor. I have attempted all the suggestions I can find re: getting the performance. The video is slow - so it lags the audio by quite a bit. I keep getting "Your processor is too slow..." stuff. What to do? I built mplayer from ports (not package). mplayer-1.0.r20100117_1 My computer is an HP Pavilion dv4 xorg.conf is set up to run the vesa driver. That's how X -configure set it up. I have no idea what graphics device is actually on this machine. dmesg shows: Copyright (c) 1992-2010 The FreeBSD Project.

wdm and xdm problems - related to HAL?
So I got Xorg working with Hal. Wahoo. If I log in from a display manager I encounter some weird stuff. If I am using xdm and I log out of the window manager and then attempt to shut down the computer - by going to tty 0 and typing # halt -p - the disk syncs and then the shutdown freezes. If I am using wdm and I log out of the window manager and want to log back in, it takes my username but does not clear the text field for me to type a password.

aterm whacked?
I just mem-wiped my laptop and am in the process of installing everything after.

When I run aterm I get: $ aterm aterm has encountered the following problem interacting with X Windows : Request: 64,Error: 8(BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)) in resource: 0x14D aterm has encountered the following problem interacting with X Windows : Request: 64,Error: 8(BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)) in resource: 0x14D aterm has encountered the following problem interacting with X Windows : Request: 64,Error: 8(BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)) in resource: 0x14D etc. Transparency doesn't work right either - which I see is the greatest attraction to aterm.

xorg update (not) - configuration for ports

RE: Backspace problems
Scott Mayo wrote: If I hit backspace it just backs up on the line until were input-mode was started during this input-mode session. If I hit delete then it capitalizes the charcter behind the cursor and throws me into command-mode. === This way to get things to delete in vi seems odd to me. I have always used 'x' to delete from the right, and "X" to delete from the left. Maybe some hacks of vi include alternative methods to navigate. The problem with learning a method using shortcuts is that the "pure" method becomes unnatural and difficult. vi becomes real useful once you start doing things in it by reflex. If your reflexes are of the pure method then you should be good from one vi to the next. Even in my case, using the arrow keys seems more natural for jumping around (than using the jkl and ; keys). This is even more true for me since I use the Dvorak keyboard layoun and j, k, l and ; are not close together (well, j and k are -- and l and ; are too; but still not quick or easy to use for navigation.)

umass mount woes
I got a new whiz-bang mp3 play from SanDisk. I went with SanDisk because they have always worked so well with non-windows for me. Anyway, I'm having a bit of a problem mounting it. Other umass devices work fine on my system. Any help will be appreciated. The device is a Sansa c240. as a usb device, it doesn't default to umass behavior; but it can be set to behave that way. I have set the device USB mode to MSC mode.

nForce4 IDE channel UDMA woes
This is a problem on a home-built computer using an nVidia nForce4 motherboard. IDE 1 and 2 each have two devices. IDE 1 master: a Maxtor hard drive (jumpered to master) IDE 1 slave: a CDRW (jumpered to slave) IDE 2 master: CDRW (jumpered to master) IDE 2 slave: CDRW (jumpered to slave) So, when I do something intense - like build a new kernel or buildworld - I start getting the following in stdout: ad0: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=505006527 ad0: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51 error=4 LBA=505006527 ad0: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=505006655 ad0: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51 error=4 LBA=505006655 g_vfs_done():ad0s1f[WRITE(offset=253247242240, length=131072)]error = 5 ad0: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=505006527 ad0: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51 error=4 LBA=505006527 ad0: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=505006655 ad0: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51 error=4 LBA=505006655 g_vfs_done():ad0s1f[WRITE(offset=253247242240, length=131072)]error = 5 ad0: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=505006527 ad0: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=505006655 ad0: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51 error=4 LBA=505006655 ad0: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51 error=4 LBA=505006527 g_vfs_done():ad0s1f[WRITE(offset=253247242240, length=131072)]error = 5 ad0: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=505006527 ad0: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51 error=4 LBA=505006527 ad0: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=505006655 ad0: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51 error=4 LBA=505006655 g_vfs_done():ad0s1f[WRITE(offset=253247242240, length=131072)]error = 5 Now, interestingly, if I unplug the CDRW that uses IDE 1 slave, everything works fine. But for my needs, I need three CDRWs. Questions: I have noticed a lot of Internet chatter about this kind of thing happening with similar configurations on WinXP. Using the generic XP IDE driver seems to fix it. Could this be a problem with FreeBSD? Do you think it would be a dumb idea to try to run either the hard drive or one of the CDRWs from one of the available SATAs? == Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are truth, and his ways are justice; and he is able to bring low those who walk in pride.
