passing events to userland
Hi, I'm using Hiroyuki's toshiba_acpi patch (posted on the freebsd-mobile list), and it captures the extra buttons for acpi settings. I want to use such events to do things in userland. Does anybody know how to pass make a kernel module generate a specific keypress event in userland? Any ideas or pointers to where to look will be greatly appreciated. Maybe there is some kernel module that I can examine the code? Using 5.1-RELEASE. regards, Edscott ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
toshiba-acpi-extras
Does anybody know if there are plans to port the toshiba-acpi-extras from linux to the freebsd kernel? Without these additional acpi variables it is not possible to adjust the LCD brightness for recent Toshiba laptops (satellite 2400,2450,2455 and others). Not being able to dim the LCD screen is a real bummer. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
ehci in kernel
I have already done everything to make my usb keyboard work in FreeBSD (both 4.8 and 5.1) to no avail. It detects is correctly and sets it up as supposed to, but the show does not go on. In linux the usbkeyboard works but there is also a ehci controller loaded (ehci-hcd 00:1d.7: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB EHCI Controller). I took a shot in the dark and added optionsehci to the kernel configuration, but compilation bombs complaining about missing modules at the link stage. What else is needed to get the ehci controller to work? Or what is supposed to be done in this case?

incorrect keyboard response
I am installing FreeBSD on a new laptop but have problems with the keyboard within X. Symptoms: if the pause between stroking key1 and key2 is short, key1 is repeated. When: FreeBSD 5.1, always. FreeBSD 4.8, only when the XKEYBOARD extension is enabled. I've tried modifying the key repeat rate, both in X and on console, to no avail. The problem is not present in Linux or in older laptops. Laptop configuration: Toshiba [EMAIL PROTECTED], 533MHz system bus, nvidia-geoforce4-32MB. TIA Edscott Option "XkbDisable" is not set. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
checking for headers
Hi, I'm trying to get a "configure" program to check for dbh.h, but the following line only checks in /usr/include: AC_CHECK_HEADERS(dbh.h, ac_cv_dbh_library=yes, ac_cv_dbh_library=no) The generated configure in Linux searches both /usr/include and /usr/local/include, but not in FreeBSD. What do I have to add so that it will search /usr/local/include in FreeBSD?

front end to pkg_xxx
I've been thinking about writing a gtk2 frontend for the pkg_ series of programs (pkg_add, pkg_create, pkg_delete, pkg_info, pkg_update, pkg_version) but maybe it's already been done. Has it been done before? Edscott Wilson Garcia To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
