Thinking the problem would go away if I upgraded to 9.0, I did that and I am still experiencing the same freezing up. The mouse pointer freezes, the keyboard freezes (caps lock light will not come on; Ctrl-Alt-F[1-10] does not work etc.). The only way to get the system back is by pressing and holding down the power button. The problem seems similar to: kern/163145 There is nothing in /var/log/messages to indicate a problem. Output of pciconf -lv and uname -a are at: http://www.eskimo.com/~joji/wisdom/ Anybody else experiencing similar freeze ups with 8.3 or 9.0 while using firefox? Since Firefox uses all kinds of GPU stuff nowadays. Is it possible it locks up your graphics card? I suggest trying to turn of GPU hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Re: 7.3-RC2 Available...

It seems to be the key point here. I'm thinking about giving a try for the following scheme for my development desktop at work: amd64 machine with servers' ports built inside (postgresql-server, apache, etc) with i386 jail with desktop applications (xorg, firefox/nspluginwrappers, MUA, you name it...) ENOTIME so far... Utility is definitely a personal variable. I run a FreeBSD-6-stable workstation at AMD64 and am more or less happy with it, My workstation runs amd64 7.0-BETA2. I'm very happy with it. but I also have a MacOS laptop, which I can fall back to for anything that falls out of the FreeBSD-amd64 capability bucket, like watching the google Android videos on youtube, There's youtube-dl in ports for downloading youtube videos. You can them watch them with your favorite media player. Certainly xorg, firefox (and epiphany, which I prefer) and MUA (thunderbird, evolution, mutt, claws-mail(my pref.)) all work happily in amd64 mode. The only desktop related things that one hears a lot about are the Flash plugin, and the NVidia binary driver. For me those are things that I can happily live without. I certainly don't miss the annoying Flash ads on the Web! Roland I too am annoyed by incessant flash ads. But my credit union's online banking login box requires flash as well; which broke not too long ago on my 6STABLE box. I'll get it fixed eventually but in the meantime it bears remembering that not all flash apps are annoying ads or egocentric youtube flicks. r ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I earlier was bitten by the broken gmirror code and the only way I found out was that a failing disk froze the machine with just this sort of g_vfs_done() error. The disk was "Recertified" (thanks Western Digital for stellar warrantee behavior. Yeah), and was just waiting to do this to me. The reboot and mirror re-sync demonstrated the broken gmirror code, completely :) All in all, a very fun-filled Sunday.

How do I disable driver, and how do I recompile nvidia port? In the boot loader you can try: unset nvidia_load or set nvidia_load="NO" a 'make clean install' on the nvidia port dir should do the trick ;) -- Joao Barros Ales, I had this problem to, both with 4.10+ and now with 6.0. I always thought the nvidia.ko was getting loaded "too early" in the boot sequence when I had it listed in rc.conf. What I did was to write a script that gave the command 'kldload nvidia' and put that in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Scripts there are run pretty late in the boot sequence. Problem gone (for me anyway), and I've done it that way ever since. In any event I agree with Joao that you should re-compile the module under the new system.

Re: FreeBSD 4.10, dial-up, cvsup, ports
Feng, I don't know if this will help, and I don't know if it's been suggested, but you've been struggling with this for so long I might as well throw it out. I have a vanilla 4.10 machine that was absolutely incapable of using a Courier v. everything modem, a modem that had been usable on every linux/windows/bsd box I ever put it on. But on *this* machine it, too, would only rarely even negotiate a connection, and when it did it would drop it after a couple minutes. I did two things (not very scientific, but it's My Way): I got a different modem (Hayes Accura 33/56k) and I asked my ISP for some different dialin numbers. I only rarely get dropped now; usually if I'm streaming radio or listening to real audio streams, and the negotiation, while not as fast as my old Slackware box, goes through quickly. Some of their numbers just don't like BSD handshakes, some do. Hope this helps. Even better, I hope this has already been solved for you. r -- I'd rather flunk my Wassermann Test Than read the poems of Edgar Guest. - Auden On Sun, 10 Oct 2004, Feng Sian wrote: > Igor, > > Em Dom, 2004-10-03 às 15:51, Igor Pokrovsky escreveu: > > Probably your link to ISP just drops. > > Consider using pppd, it has an ability to reconnect to ISP. > > I also have thought that it should be that.
