New to FreeBSD 4.9 questions about configuration
Hello, I hav installed FreeBSD 4.9 on my desktop, ECS K7S5A, AMD T-Bird 900 mhz cpu, 128 m of ddr 30g western digital ide h/d ide buss 0 master "compaq" generic cdrom ide buss 0 slave generic floppy, zip ide not phsyicly hooked back up yet, when it was it worked I tried 5.1 but the floppy wouldn't wouldn't work with acpi on and alot of other stuff didn't work when I turned acpi off and though the floppy did, it still only did it half way. was getting the same thing other people reported when I looked into it. I have rebuilt the kernal to include USR_LDT, and disabled alot of drivers that I didn't need, including raid and scsi, except the two scsi that I found out the hard way need to be there to compile usb mass storage support ect and left everything that I had no clue what it was alone. it works well. I changed /etc/ttys ie. #ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm"xterm on secure sysctl.conf # $FreeBSD: src/etc/sysctl.conf,v 1.1.2.3 2002/04/15 00:44:13 dougb Exp $ # # This file is read when going to multi-user and its contents piped thru # ``sysctl'' to adjust kernel values. ``man 5 sysctl.conf'' for details. # vfs.usermount=1 chmod for floppy and cdrom added thier entries into fstab created mnt/cdrom and mnt/floppy dirs off of the user home directores it woks as expected but with respect to the /etc/ttys right before X starts I am getting a message refering to abnormal helper termination error code 0 it doesn't seem to be hurting antthing, can I fix it? also, Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Error:No Symbols named "us" in the include file "pc/us" > Exiting > Abandoning symbols file "default" Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server My keyboard is working great as far as I can tell. -...~...-- snip (II) Module ddc: vendor="The XFree86 Project" compiled for 4.3.0, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6 (II) Loading sub module "ddc" (II) LoadModule: "ddc" (II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a (II) S3VIRGE(0): VESA VBE DDC supported (II) S3VIRGE(0): VESA VBE DDC Level none (II) S3VIRGE(0): VESA VBE DDC transfer in appr. 0 sec.

I also have added the Zaxis and buttons = 5 to get the weel on my mouse going as per FAQ sheet, it works well. do I have somthing wrong in the config? or is it just the fact this is an old slow pci vidio card? I am getting a new one soon, and I dont play games very much my kid cant wait!! just the thought of a panguin sled race 8>)!! when I log out and the screen resets right befor kdm kicks in I am getting reapeted scedualling over run messages from the usb ports I reconfigured the kernal to disable uhci my machine has ohci, it seems to be better but still doing it, how do I fix this? do I need to set a flag of some sort if so where do I find the man/doc sheet for the usb flag options. on Bootup, Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s2a ad0s2a: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 42387790 of 4160-4163 (ad0s2 bn 42387790; cn 2638 tn 132 sn 4) retrying ad0s2a: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 42387790 of 4160-4163 (ad0s2 bn 42387790; cn 2638 tn 132 sn 4) retrying ad0s2a: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 42387790 of 4160-4163 (ad0s2 bn 42387790; cn 2638 tn 132 sn 4) retrying ad0s2a: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 42379502 of 16-19 (ad0s2 bn 42379502; cn 2638 tn 0 sn 32) retrying ad0s2a: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 42379502 of 16-19 (ad0s2 bn 42379502; cn 2638 tn 0 sn 32) retrying ad0s2a: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 42379502 of 16-19 (ad0s2 bn 42379502; cn 2638 tn 0 sn 32) retrying ad0s2a: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 42379502 of 16-19 (ad0s2 bn 42379502; cn 2638 tn 0 sn 32) falling back to PIO mode in bois the hard drives pio mode is set to auto I have the options of auto,and pio mode 1-5, I have tried to play with this abit but no diference how do I either make the hard drive work with the udma mode or configure the kernal to stay at pio mode in the first place? the last thing I am wondering is how to make the cdrom and floppy umount automaticly via a script on logout from a session both my daughter and I always forget to unmount them before we log out then we cant unmount the other's, but I dont understand how the logout and
