Hi,
Before the update of x11 on 4/21/2012, X was working fine, but now
when I startx, my usb and touchpad mouse are no longer found. The
mouse works in terminal mode, and hald and dbus are started in
/etc/rc.conf.
I rebuilt x11, but that had no effect, any ideas on what I might
do to get the mo

After upgrading from 6-STABLE to 7-RELEASE, I tried to rebuild
all the packages from portupgrade -af I started getting the following
error messages. The first once, the second multiple times, even
after I moved the pkgdb.db and did a pkgdb -fu.

The third party boot manager does play nice, I've had this setup
working before (with the same BM [smartboot]), and everything worked fine.

I have a two disk system, and I'm trying to install FBSD6.2 on slice 2
of the second disk, a configuration that I've had working in the past.
I'm using the Standard installation, select the second disk (ad1)
and create a slice (ad1s2) and then create the partitions within
that slice. On that dis

Ok, I should be able to find this somewhere
in the documentation, but I can't (must be looking
for the wrong key words).
When the system boots, the consoles need to be initialized
and defined somewhere. I want to change the definition, but
I can't find the startup script that init's them. Whic
Hi,
I've been running BSD, for several versions, as a VMWARE client on
a persistant disk. Recently, following an update to 6-stable/pre-release,
the label for slice that the system was on has been removed. When I
try and boot the system, it reads and loads the kernel but it fails
when it trys to
I've been getting the calcru: negative time message. After
search the site I found the FAQ (5.18) that says to set this variable
sysctl kern.timecounter.method=1.
When I do that, I get sysctl: unknown old 'kern.timercounter.method'.
What is the fix/search term for 6-release??
Thanks

I running 6-RELEASE as a guest under vmware 5.5 and I'm having
problems with the clock going backwards. I'm getting the message (sample):
calcru: runtime went backwards from 10542602 usec to 10542600 usec for pid

Thanks, but I don't get to the boot prompt, it dumps core and then
goes to reboot mode.

I've started to get an error during the boot process that scrolls off the
screen so rapidly that I don't have a change to read it.
Is there someway to pause the scrolling/process so the error is read-able??
Thanks for any hints.

Thanks, my understanding was mergemaster before installworld.
But that appears to be wrong.

I'm trying to upgrade from 5-STABLE to 6-RELEASE, and I fail during the
kernel install phase of the process. I deleleted the /usr/src tree
and did a cvsup to get the new bits. I then ran a make world;
make buildkernel; and then a make installkernel. This steps fails with:

Hi,
I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-stable under VMware Workstation 5.
When I run date it replys "Sat May 6 09:19:53 EDT 2000"
Now everything is ok except it's Fri 2005. When I check the
clock on the windows side it reports the year correctly.
Anybody know why BSD thinks it's 5 years earlier???

Seems our friends in redmond have done something strange with the
fs type. both w2k partitions on the disk show a type of 45
and both freebsd show 165.
Thanks

Ok, either I'm missing something very basic or
I'm trying to mount a w2k ntfs file system with:
mount_ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /C
and I get back:
mount_ntfs: /dev/ad0s1: Invalid Argument
I'm told this is an ntfs5 file system, could it be that
FreeBSD doesn't grok this type of fs or am I missing so
ks for the response.

I have a box with w2k as the primary OS and FreeBSD 4.9-stable installed
as a dual-boot. I also have vmware 4 installed under w2k with
bsd as the guest OS. My problem is I can't get bsd to talk to
the network card. What settings do I need and/or network driver do I
need to set???

Hi,
In order to save the internet address space, my cable co has setup their
network with a live address for my
PC but an address on a private 10.0.0.0 network for the cable modem.
Now of course, this is also the
gateway and dhcp server. The problem is trying to get FreeBSD to use
this private ad
