Advice on psm driver interface ?
Hello Hackers, I'm playing with the psm driver and a symantics touchpad - I'd like to send the touch pressure along with x/y coordinates/buttons and then chenge the behaviour of mouse in moused using the pressure. What would be better: 1. Extend the struct mousestatus with additional pressure field. 2. Use the mousestatus's z axis movement (dz field). It in fact IS the third dimension, right? The whole concept of z being used for scrolling at times, and at times scrolling being just additional buttons is odd to me. 3. Use another ioctl like MOUSE_SYN_GETHWINFO to fetch the pressure value. What would be best? m. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: FreeBSD 6.0-BETA1 Available
I was looking for a place to download 6.0-BETA1-powerpc-bootonly.iso to test om my PowerMac G4. But I cannot find it on any of the ftp- sites og mirrors. Where can I download it? Sincerely, Øystein Holmen Den 15. jul. 2005 kl. 12:56 skrev Scott Long: Announcement The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 6.0-BETA1, which marks the beginning of the FreeBSD 6.0 Release Cycle. FreeBSD 6.0 will be a much less dramatic step from the FreeBSD 5 branch than the FreeBSD 5 branch was from FreeBSD 4. Much of the work that has gone into 6.0 development has focused on polishing and improving the work from 5.x These changes include streamlining direct device access in the kernel, providing a multi-threaded SMP-safe UFS/VFS filesystem layer, implementing WPA and Host-AP 802.11 features, as well as countless bugfixes and device driver improvements. Major updates and improvements have been made to ACPI power and thermal management, ATA, and many aspects of the network infrastructure. 32bit application support for AMD64 is also greatly improved, as is compatiblity with certain Athlon64 motherboards. This release is also the first to feature experimental PowerPC support for the Macintosh G3 and G4 platforms. This BETA1 release is in the same basic format as the Monthly Snapshots. For most of the architectures only the ISO images are available though the FTP install tree is available for a couple of the architectures. We encourage people to help with testing so any final bugs can be identified and worked out. Availability of ISO images is given below. If you have an older system you want to update using the normal CVS/cvsup source based upgrade the branch tag to use is RELENG_6 (though that will change for the Release Candidates later). Problem reports can be submitted using the send-pr(1) command. The list of open issues and things still being worked on are on the todo list: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/todo.html Since this is the first release of a new branch we only have a rough idea for some of the dates. The current rough schedule is available but most dates are still listed as "TBD - To Be Determined": http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/schedule.html Known Issues For the PowerPC architecture /etc/fstab isn't written out properly, so the first boot throws you into the mountroot> prompt. You will need to manually enter where the root partition is and fix /etc/fstab. Also the GEM driver is listed as 'unknown' in the network config dialog. For all architectures a kernel rebuild might be needed to get some FreeBSD 5 applications to run. Add "options COMPAT_FREEBSD5" to the kernel configuration file if you have problems with FreeBSD 5 executables. Availability The BETA1 ISOs and FTP support are available on most of the FreeBSD Mirror sites. A list of the mirror sites is available here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors- ftp.html The MD5s are: MD5 (6.0-BETA1-alpha-bootonly.iso) = eabda0a086e5492fe43626ce5be1d7e1 MD5 (6.0-BETA1-alpha-disc1.iso) = d7fe900bb3d5f259cc3cc565c4f303e4 MD5 (6.0-BETA1-amd64-bootonly.iso) = 9b04cb2f68300071c717f4aa4220bdac MD5 (6.0-BETA1-amd64-disc1.iso) = cb0f21feaf8b7dd9621f82a8157f6ed8 MD5 (6.0-BETA1-amd64-disc2.iso) = 84d40bc291a9ed5cd69dfa717445eeb5 MD5 (6.0-BETA1-i386-bootonly.iso) = 38e0b202ee7d279bae002b883f7074ec MD5 (6.0-BETA1-i386-disc1.iso) = b2baa8c18d4637ef02822a0da6717408 MD5 (6.0-BETA1-i386-disc2.iso) = 2b151a3cea8843d322c75ff76779ffcf MD5 (6.0-BETA1-ia64-bootonly.iso) = 97800ec7d4b29927a8e66a2b53e987fb MD5 (6.0-BETA1-ia64-disc1.iso) = 7d29cd9317997136507078971762a0d8 MD5 (6.0-BETA1-ia64-livefs.iso) = 6ff974e60a3964cf16fcec05925c14e9 MD5 (6.0-BETA1-pc98-disc1.iso) = 40a3134cce89bd5f7033d8b9181edf91 MD5 (6.0-BETA1-powerpc-bootonly.iso) = 2f64974e9bd5adcf813f5d35ff742443 MD5 (6.0-BETA1-powerpc-disc1.iso) = b2562c38414ff4866f5ed8b3a38683c8 MD5 (6.0-BETA1-sparc64-bootonly.iso) = ae9610aeb1169d2cc649628606014441 MD5 (6.0-BETA1-sparc64-disc1.iso) = af21752630b13cf60c9498fbf7f793b6 MD5 (6.0-BETA1-sparc64-disc2.iso) = 3241af814bfe93a97707c7a964c57718 Thanks to Ken Smith, Marcel Moolenaar, Wilko Bulte, and Takahashi Yoshihiro, and Peter Grehan for doing the sparc64, ia64, alpha, pc98, and ppc builds, respectively.

Remove Heimdal Kerberos from my FreeBSD
Hi, i've just installed a fresh FreeBSD 5.4 on my PC i saw i have Heimdal Kerberos installed on it. I don't want Heimdal Kerberos on my syetem! Could someone point me to a easy way to remove it and rebuild all software (telnet, ssh, etc) which depends on it? Thanks in advance!

Re: Remove Heimdal Kerberos from my FreeBSD
Thanks, for the suggestion. I hope it will help me. Why exactly Heimdal Kerberos had been incorporated into the base system? Why not MIT Kerberos ?
