Wierd X crash
Hello all, I am fairly new to FreeBSD. I use linux a lot. Am running FreeBSD 7.2 i386 with the nvidia 173 driver with an AGP GeForce FX 5200. My X works, with xinerama and two screens, perfectly, but as soon as I hold down any key (like Backspace to remove a line of text) X crashes. This is in the log: Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting The rest of the log is fine. I have fiddled with HAL and DBUS, turning them off and on, but no luck. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all, What is the best way to install eclipse on FreeBSD 7.2? On Linux I installed java, and downloaded the newest eclipse.

And I do not know if it is important enough, but I want to use Eclipse 3.5 At the moment I am installing ports/java/jdk16 And then I'll try to use the download of eclipse 3.5 Thank you so far, Coert ___ 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"

Hi Mel, In /usr/ports/ i deleted everything. Then I ran a portsnap fetch and then portsnap extract and portsnap update. But I still get Missing pkg-descr for dtach-0.8. my shasum on /usr/ports/devel/patch/pkg-descr is the same as yours How can I completely wipe out the ports and start over?

local mirrors of ports and packages?
Hi all! I am quite new to FreeBSD. I am quite a boffin on Linux though. What I would like to know is, how can I make local mirrors of ports and packages? I live in South-Africa, and bandwidth is painfully slow and expensive. How many data would it be in total?
