Re: No mouse in X, Dell Inspiron 5150

2004-05-14 Thread Ph. Schulz
the new Nvidia package and my current XF86Config section for the mouse looks like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol""PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" I think "Protocol" should be "Auto" if you're going to use "/dev/s

Re: Not needing the console for a system reload

Is there a way to give a "shutdown now; ; exit" command from the command line if I'm logged in remotely? Or do I really need to use "reboot" and go through the whole hardware reinitialization? I don't think this is possible. The reason is (if I understand things correctly) that if you're in si

Thank you all for your input, I really appreciate it. Somebody said that I would be fine (when using GPL-licensed stuff) as long as I provide the sources to people who use the application. I guess providing the source within the company is not a problem, however I thought it would be easier to

I see the same symptoms on my Desktop. When I change from Windows to FreeBSD, the picture moves quite a bit. I seriously doubt that this is a FreeBSD or Windows problem but I rather think it's something with the graphic card. Not with the hardware but with the configuration. Maybe you want to

I've read (although never actually seen myself - so take this with as large a grain of salt as you like) that hotplugging PS/2 peripherals can damage the port you're plugging them into, so I'd be wary about doing this. This is what I've heard, too, but I've never seen a PS/2 port being damaged fr

I guess it says there to specify 'WITHOU_OPENGL'. Usually you have to specify those options to a configure script don't you? Don't blame me if it's wrong b/c I never compiled it myself. I just replied to this message b/c I think it's funny (not the question but the answer) and I'm on my way to get

RE: Installation freezes

I had some similar issues w/ an old Compaq Armada running at 150MHz. However, cpu speed is not the problem here but you probably do not have enough RAM installed. To verify that, try to install again. During the time the installation is running, go to the second (I belive) console and watch the out

Are you aware that this question is almost like 'What's better, Linux or FreeBSD?' ;-) To give some hints in reply to your question: If you want to learn SQL, then you should probably use PostgreSQL as it's SQL functionality fully implements the ANSI SQL-92 standard. If you just want to set up a

AW: installing php3-3.0.18_1: mysql option problem

2003-07-21 Thread Ph. Schulz
It seems to me that PHP is trying to build the mySQL library and cannot find the mySQL files. Are you going to use mySQL? When I build PHP the first time I forgot that the mySQL support was enabled by default (only PHP Versions 3.xx and 4.xx ). Disable the mySQL support by using '--without-mysql'.

Hello everyone! I've got a quick question: I've changed my /etc/rc.conf, but unfortunately I made a typo. Now, my system doesn't boot anymore. I wanted to correct the rc.conf, but the root file system is read only. Is there any way that I can either edit, rename or even delete the /etc/rc.conf?
