Firefox and amule GUI problems in KDE 3.3? GTK?
I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1. I installed it about a week ago, and installed X.org 6.7.0 with KDE 3.3 from the most recent cvs versions at the time. The same was done for GTK (2.4.9), Firefox (0.9.3), aMule (1.2.8), and Gaim (0.82.1). Firefox and aMule both seem to have major problems with GUI interaction, while Gaim does not, so I'm not sure if it's a GTK problems specifically. Firefox will sometimes hang slightly, not allowing my to type into textboxes, such as the URL box, or in forms. It usually hangs for about 1-2 seconds, then allows interaction again. Often I can type, but text doesn't show up for 1-2 seconds as well. aMule performs similarly, though a bit more extreme. Restoring the window from minimization causes it to appear blank for 3-5 seconds, then appear. Sometimes at this point I can interact with the window immediately, though typically I then experience a delay in clicking buttons, moving sliding, resizing listviews, etc. The delay will be in effect for any given amount of time, then it will suddenly work fine again. At this point I have no clue how to fix this problem. I have yet to experience it in any other applications, though previous to installing FreeBSD this most recent time, I had installed it about 2 weeks prior (I had to reinstall due to some problems I encountered), and experienced the same problem. I would appreciate help that anybody would have to offer. Thanks, Travis Troyer _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

You need to tell your gateway that in order to get to 10.0.0.0/24 from 192.168.1.0/24, you need to tell the routing tables that the route to 10.0.0.0/24 is via xl1 and vice versa. route add 10.0.0.0/24 -interface xl1 and vice versa: route add 192.168.1.0/24 -interface xl2 In the handbook, it says (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-bridging.html): --begin quote-- 19.5.4 Enabling the Bridge Add the line: net.link.ether.bridge=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf to enable the bridge at runtime, and the line: net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=if1,if2 to enable bridging on the specified interfaces (replace if1 and if2 with the names of your two network interfaces). If you want the bridged packets to be filtered by ipfw(8), you should add: net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 as well. For FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE and later, use instead the following lines: net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1 net.link.ether.bridge.config=if1,if2 net.link.ether.bridge.ipfw=1 --end quote-- I am not sure if this will work, though, because I'm not sure what effect (if any) it would have on the NAT from the 192.168.1.0/24 network. You might want to first try this approach while NAT and the firewall are turned off. I have a similar situation that I want to test, so I'd be curious if you succeed and how. Steve Fettig Steve, Thank you for your suggestion, however, I gave that a try, and really wasn't getting anywhere. For the sake of not angering the roommates too much by having to disable NAT, I tried every option but that. In my research I found out about Virtual Hosts, or IP aliasing, and, since there were only two machines on the 10.0.0.0 network that needed to access machines on the 192.168.1.0 network, and they were both running FreeBSD, I simply gave each machine a second IP on the 192.168.1.0 network, and everything is working fine. In case you're interested, I used this bit of information: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-virtual-hosts.html I'm not sure if you were aware of aliasing, as I was not, or if this fits your situation as well as it did mine. I'm curious now as to whether or not my gateway/router machine could still provide connectivity between the two networks, via the virtual hosted interface, for clients on both LANs. Though my setup suites me now, I may give that a try.

Possible DNS Problems
I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1-Release on two systems, a server that acts as a NAT Gateway for my cable service, and a client. When trying to load various websites on the client machine, I get a delay, usually about 25 seconds, during which Mozilla will tell me it's resolving the hostname. I also get the same situation with Konqueror or lynx. It only happens on certain sites, for example, Bankone.com. With loading Bankone.com, after the homepage initially loads, I can load any page on the site without problems. Using this same system, and dual booting into Windows, I find that I can load these sites with no problem, leading me to believe that it is a configuration problem with my FreeBSD installation; however, I can not figure out what the problem is. I would really appreciate any help in this matter.

Problems resolving hosts
I am running FreeBSD 5.1 and I am suddenly having problems loading certain web pages. The system is behind another FreeBSD machine acting as a router and DHCP server, so it pulls it's IP and such from the router machine. I did not change any settings on either system, and suddenly some web sites have a 1-3 minute delay in loading certain sites when using Mozilla, Netscape, or Konqueror. I have tried booting into windows from the same system, and these same pages load in normal times. They also load fine from any other machine on the network, so I am convinced it's a problem with this system's configuration, but I have no idea where to start. I don't understand why most sites load fine, but a select handful won't. I would appreciate it if anybody could share any ideas about this. I can provide any configuration files or logs, if requested.

Sil680 RAID Support while installing 5.1-Release
I just purchased a Sil680 IDE RAID controller, and have setup a striped RAID array. When I boot from the 5.1 installation CD-ROM, FreeBSD does not recognize them as one disk. I checked the hardware notes, and Sil680 UDMA6 is listed. Seeing Sil680 listed, I assumed that the RAID capabilities would also be supported. I read something posted awhile back referring to the Sil680 controller, saying it was supported, but dangerous unless using 5.1-Current. Does anybody know anything about the current status of this? Is there anyway to get the FreeBSD installation to recognize my RAID array, or should I just buy another controller?

I was connected when I accidentally knocked the power supply out of the wall socket, and lost my connection. I plugged it back in, turned it off and back on, and tried to connect, without success. So, I rebooted, with no success. I tried shutting down both the modem and the system and cold-booting; still no go.

Your best bet for full featured drivers is http://www.opensound.com/ That's the only way under FreeBSD (that I know of) that you'll get a full featured mixer (with bass / treble control) and rear outputs properly. There are two developers that I know of that are trying to create a better Audigy driver for FreeBSD 5.x that will have bass and treble control, but other than that... The Linux ALSA Project is the only project I know of currently that has fairly good support for front + rear outputs for the Creative Series of cards. Personally, I've never cared for ALSA, and am somewhat distraught that many future 'free' applications may use the ALSA API instead of the OSS API, putting many of us out in the cold figuratively speaking. Obviously, most of these applications are open source in one way or another and can be ported to OSS, but I digress... ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

CVSup Tags and release status
I am fairly new to FreeBSD and I was recently reading about CVSup for updating packages and such, but I beleive the information I was reading is out-dated: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html This says that RELENG_4 is for FreeBSD-STABLE and that RELENG_5_0 is used only for security advisories and other seriously critical fixes. Is this still the case now that 5.0 is the current release version? I installed FreeBSD using the 5.0-Release ISO and want the most current, but stable packages, so I'm not sure which tag to use. Also, I'm trying to install NVidia's geforce driver, which says it is for FreeBSD -STABLE version 4.7 or later. When I try to compile it, it says that This driver does not support FreeBSD 5.0/-CURRENT! If I installed FreeBSD from the 5.0-Release ISO, wouldn't I be running 5.0-Stable and not 5.0-Current?

There's no such thing as stable packages, because the ports collection is not branched. So what tag should I use for FreeBSD-STABLE, as the handbook refers to it? Is RELENG_4 still correct?
