experiences with the beta nvidia driver
Last night I mentioned it is now avaible... has any one tried it with anything near this combo: P-35 Chipset GeForce 5200 GT (PCI) 7-CURRENT The reason for asking is when I installed it the kernel reconizes my card but Xorg (7.3) doesn't recognize it (same as before the beta) BTW it does not implement --enable-all-gpus it seems right now --Aryeh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

url encoding a string with base system tools

Re: what cpu type to use for a intel duo e6850 (i386 or amd64)
Would the following procedure work to do an inplace upgrade: 1. Download the amd64 iso 2. Install it on a spare disk/partition 3. Do a cvsup on it's /usr/src 4. Make buildworld/buildkernel 5. Mount the x86 disk/partition 6. Copy /usr/obj (and /usr/src for good measure) from the amd partition to the x48 7. Reboot with x86 partition 8. Make installkernel/installworld mergemaster on x86 partition 9. Now the non-ports section OS is amd64 10. pkg_del /var/db/pkg/*; rm -rf /usr/ports/ /usr/local 11. Reftp ports.tar.gz and rebuild all the ports (I have about 10 top level ports installed the rest are dependicies so this straight forward) So does it work? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

First of all there are several possible 64 bit intel like processors to choose from for example unless one reads carefully ia64 looks like what you want. Second of all in many peoples minds (including mine) we are used to there being subtle diffs between AMD and intel for the same class of processor thus would naturally think if it was lableb amd64 it is for Advanced Micro Devices processors only... a better name would be 64bit_x86 or something like that --Aryeh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

the continuing adventures of nvidia vs. xord 7.3

It did not reconize any nvidia card in anyway shape or form (nv, nvidia (even he latest beta's posted on 9/26), etc.) 3. As soon I upgraded to 7-current (amd64) and reinstalled xorg 7.3 the nv driver works My hardware: intel e6850 p35 mobo 4 gb of ram nvidia geforce 5200 GT (pci) (but had the same issue and I think actually physically damaged a 8500 gs (pci-e)) [once nvidia comes out with a stable closed source driver I will probally get an other Lessons for other people: 1. If you have a 64bit x86 like processor you should try using amd64 instead of i386 binaries 2.

In a simelar situation I did this by setting up a centeral cvsup mirror (allows you to maintain patches between cvsupdates [i.e. if the file does not differ rcs stamp will not clobber it]).

The issue your talking about is actually caused by a fundamental flaw in *ALL* pure open source projects namely in return for the freedom to look at the code and stuff we give up market forces.If there where real market forces then *SOMEONE* in the larger freebsd community would find it profitable to write such drivers (and other needed unglamorous but necessary tasks).A model I proposed (with about 3 others from different FOSS backgrounds) a few years ago is still as relivent now as it was then despite the lack of reconition that it allows for all the freedoms of open source but without the neglecting of user demands (i.e. market forces). The model is actually really simple: the source code is freely available to *ANYONE* for study/research/evaluation/educational *BUT* the minute you compile it becomes economically valuable to the user (assuming that there is no value to the above free uses [it is not a bad assumption if you look at it]) and thus *MUST* be paid for.

Re: Lennart Poettering: BSD Isn't Relevant Anymore
Just a side note I am the managing partner in a software development firm and they *ONLY* reason we have not released the majority of our internal lib is because we are essentially giving something of huge value (to us) up for nothing in return but if there was money involved to compensate for the time and effort we put into writing the lib we would gladly contribute it to any deserving project. But, sadly since we live and die as consultants by having a unique competitive advantage (in this case a lib that adds commercial value to our work by completing projects faster).

I have been banging my head for almost a day now about how to get "make release" (or make iso.1 or package-split) to populate releaase/R/cdrom/* (actually I only care about dvd1 for now) and am totally lost on how to go from having a valid package list (and split) in /usr/ports/package to having it on the dvd... the only thing I know for sure there is some magic that happens before making release/R/stage abd release/R/cdrom/* in which a install script and tar are made (I think) and this means I need to put packages where?!?!?!? to get any of the make targets to make the script and tar? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
How to turn off screen blanking
I have a kiosk system I am almost done building and the last snag is attempting to make it so idle time (no keyboard or mouse attached) does not blank the screen. I have already tried the following: vidcontrol -S off disabling acpi and apmd from the kernel config enabling dpms via the kernel config and then running xset -dpms Any other ideas? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

a portmaster/ports question
Is there any way to get portmaster to reinstall every port in the *EXACT* same order they where installed in, preferably with out any knowledge of what ports where installed after the current one was the reason for asking is many times it seems that subtle incompatibilities solely due to either the order of upgrades in -ad and/or when a port gets updated autoconfig picks up stuff non-dependant ports that where installed later... a good example of the second is gettext compiles with java support if you reinstall after installing Java but does not do so if installing before you install it ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Fwd: FreeBSD on Rackspace Could
For us it is mostly cost but the other advantage (with RS at least) is you can size the "hardware" to fit your needs and not get any more then you need... for example when we first started our consulting firm back in July we bought 256MB of RAM (RS sizes the Disk, CPU, Bandwidth, etc. as a multiple of RAM) and then moved to 512MB in Sept. and except for the 10 mins it took for RS to transfer our server image from a 1U VM to a 2U VM (1U = 256MB/RAM) the move was completely painless and no time and effort was needed to update the OS, 3rd party apps, our custom made code, etc Like I said early the only downside of using RS as our primary server provider (even though we use it for internal development only [but since each of the 3 partners lives in a different part of the US it is much cheaper and easier then having it in one of our houses because none of our ISP's allow static IP's for non-business users which is twice the cost almost]) -- Forwarded message -- From: Tom Worster Date: Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 9:34 AM Subject: Re: FreeBSD on Rackspace Could To: dalesc...@shaw.ca Cc: FreeBSD On 11/13/10 6:32 PM, "dalesc...@shaw.ca" wrote: >> but dedicated/vps does not offer what cloud computing does. > >What do feel are the advantages of the cloud? i haven't used one yet but, as far as i can tell, the interesting differences derive from how the could platform implements network, storage and compute elements in a distributed hardware system meshed up with a mesh interconnect (presumably of the high-performance computing type). the resulting advantages for me: the storage arrays are raid 10 and all their responsibility not mine; shared file systems are part of the platform so i don't need to mess around with nfs; load balancing (which i currently can't afford) is part of the network platform; so is the address juggling needed for high availability (failover and restoration); and the price for each vm seems to allow me maybe 2 or 3x as many hosts as i get with dedicated servers so i can separate the db servers from the rest of the app and assign no more memory than i need to each vm. in summary, it seems i can get the high-availability, load-sharing architecture i want at a price that's beyond my budget with dedicated hosts. and it looks like there's a bunch of other nice aspects that aren't radical but will be time savers: backups, standby images, simpler sysadmin (there's a lot less to a cloud server "slice" than a whole computer), monitoring, persistence. does this begin to answer your question? this weekend i tried out gentoo on a wee celeron box i have.
