hw.pcic.intr_path=1 device hint for 5x

2004-05-12 Thread yussef
I have a laptop which requires the sysctl hw.pcic.intr_path="1" to be set for the 
laptop to not get a panic in 4.x.
I'm trying to do a fresh install of 5.2.1, but have not found the equivalent 
device.hint.
I've tried hint.pcic.0.disable=1, as well as the older sysctl's hw.pcic.intr_path=1 
and hw.pcic.irq=0 [the latter two are suggested in the handbook]. im not sure if the 
sysctl's are still valid in 5.x, but all the above values still resulted in a kernel 
panic at:
cbb0:  at device 10.0 on pci0
cardbus0:  on cbb0
pccard-: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0
pci_cfgintr_virgin: using routable interrupt 4

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
...
fault virtual address = 0xeb902
trap number = 12

google shows this issue seems to be related to systems with the sis 630 chipset, which 
is what my laptop has. if i was able to install 4.x, i figure its probably possible 
with 5.x too, i just need to figure out the proper device hints.

thanks and please cc me, im not currently on the mailing list.

suggestions on new dvd burner

2003-11-09 Thread yussef
I'm looking to purchase a dvd burner for my desktop [currently running 5.1-release]. 
My uses for the drive would be copying dvd movies as well as archiving system data. I 
was looking at the pioneer dvr-106 drive. However, from what ive been reading in 
forums and mailing lists, it seems like the pioneers dont always play too nicely under 
fbsd. anyone care to confirm or deny this?
Any recommendations on dual format dvd burners and experienced burning on fbsd is much 
appreciated.

Thanks

Re: nutball video question

2003-06-09 Thread yussef
If i understand what you want to do, i have something similar setup. i
stuck my tv card [device bktr] in my headless server. Installed X on
the server, along with xawtv and fxtv. i then ssh -X into the server
from a client running X, i then execute the command for one of the tv
viewing apps mentioned above, and it pops up on the client. It does
such up most of the bandwidth on my 100base lan, but if you're talking
small res and dont mind slightly low updates, its fine.
my goal for this system was actually to turn the system into a bit of
a pvr, having it record tv programs so i could watch at my own
convenience.
good luck

this isnt a a direct solution, but have you considered using nfs
instead? it seems to be the better tool between unix systems.

Re: Kernel Panic during install with 4.8 mini ISO

2003-06-05 Thread yussef
before the kernel is loaded, when you're given 10 seconds, hit any key
besides enter, then type 'set hw.pcic.intr_path=1' without the quotes.
good luck. hope this works.

Re: Why won't gaim show me online??

2003-06-01 Thread yussef
im pretty gaim compiles natively. its simply a gtk2 based app.
could this be some kind of firewalling issue? perhaps you're blocking
packets being sent to the AOL server. just a thought..
also, you could try naim. much simpler, and doesnt hog up nearly as
much screen real estate.

samba shares over bridged freebsd wap

2003-05-29 Thread yussef
I recently got a freebsd wap working. my connection to the internet
seems fine, i can ping away all i want. i followed the steps in the
handbook, which include bridging the wi0 on the wap to the nic [rl1].
However, this doesnt seem to work with samba [and the wap happens to
store my files which i share over samba]. It seems because the wireless
device has no ip, samba doesnt see it. assuming this is the problem,
what are the options for having the wap work, but still being able to
access my samba shares? [as a side note: when i boot into windows on the
wireless client, i can access the wireless server just fine. so this
makes me think its doable, but perhaps a limitation in the current
samba? or simply poor configuration by the user?]
 perhaps setting up the wireless stuff on a different subnet, assigning
an ip, and then using static routes? this is rather new territory for
me, so my understanding is probably off.

thanks for any info.

Re: Sound on SiS 7012 under 4.8 ?

2003-05-27 Thread yussef
I have a laptop with the 7018 sis audio chipset. not sure how similar
they are, but FWIW:
sound seems to work fine under win2k, so i doubt its a h/w problem
[maybe just poorly designed hw ;)]. However, in fbsd 4.8 i have to
perform a lil tinkering to get sound working.
The problem will be when i first reboot sometimes i can get 11 seconds
of playback, and then it stops [sometimes i wont get any at all]. then
after that initial 11, i cant get it to play again. things like
restarted xmms/mplayer/whatever_sound/video_app doesnt work.
Eventual frustration led to me play with hw.snd.maxautovchans and
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans
with xmms, i find i have to open up the app, then set both thos sysctl
values to 4. kill xmms. check fstat |grep dsp. the sooner it reports
that a dsp vchan is being used [even tho xmms is open] the better. as
that seems to be the trick. sound will only work if i have a zombie
process using one of the sound vchans.
then i set the two sysctl values back to 0 [this is usually when the
zombie process will appear. i notice getting xmms to hang will
usually induce the zombie process]. now i can set the sysctl values
back to 4, change the /dev xmms should use to something other than the
one the zombie process is now claiming [otherwise xmms should report
/dev/dsp as busy]. then i seem to be able to play all the mp3 and
dvd i want.
Also to note: i am able to play audio cd's fine w/out all this
nonsense [i assume thast cuz the audio is being directly output, and
not processed by bsd].
my dmesg| grep pcm is slightly different than yours, but hope this
helps..
pcm0:  port 0x3400-0x34ff mem 0x24003000-0x24003fff irq
