dynamic mouse(d) acceleration
Dear list,
is it possible to get dynamic mouse acceleration with Xorg? moused only
supports linear acceleration. Everytime I have to work with windows I love to
return to my FreeBSD Workstation, but I'm missing the windows mouse support.
Even after years of acclimatization to X mouse, the windows mouse movement is
much much better, more intuitive ("natural") I think.
My greatest wish was moused with dynamic acceleration.
Thanks,
-Mano

Has anyone tried to increase > console resolution on a T41 Thinkpad or even an ATI mobility radeon laptop? Unfortunately syscons uses 800x600 with 16 colors (4 bit, mode 258) and all ATI cards I know don't support that mode, only 800x600x8 (256 colors, mode 259). You can check your card features with 'vidcontrol -i mode'. I'm no programmer, otherwise I had patched syscons to use mode 0x103 (259) instead of 0x102. Perhaps you are lucky and find somebody who corrects this. ALso, search the archives, some months ago some good guys made syscons use higher resolutions, perhaps they also implemented more sensful mode selection. -Harry > > D. > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" pgpCGMX7kRvcx.pgp Description: PGP signature

Some perfomance benchmarks at 5.3 release cycle showed that the way nullfs works is suboptimal, also file backed memory devices are very slow, but I'm no developer so I can't explain you exactly why.

ttydX and xterm size (LINES and COLUMNS understanding)
Dear console gurus, when I open a xterm on the local machine, say with 100x37, vi and man recognizes the size and display the content correctly. If I use cu/tip in a 100x37 xterm "ls" works fine (uses all lines) as long as I start vi but man doesn't work (no scrolling possible). After the vi session only 24 lines (or whatever type I set in /etc/ttys) are used, but man works correctly. Why can I use different terminal sizes on the local machine and in ssh sessions but not over a serial console? If I set "setenv LINES 37" and "setenv COLUMNS 100" it works also on the serial line but why or how can vi and others know what size my terminal is via ssh session? I'm sure this behaviour is adoptable to serial consoles too. Thanks, -Harry pgpbginBgefnI.pgp Description: PGP signature

Even with knwon values I have the problem that when I recall the previous command in tcsh which was longer than one line there's no linefeed, the second line overwrites the first line. My problem is that I don't really understand how and why different applications seem to use different methods of displaying text and determining size values. man, vi and tcsh are at least very different.

quick timestamp question (ctime/mtime)
Hello, is it possible that mtime of a file can be changed without also changing ctime? Vice versa is easy, chmod or similar will do that. But if I change mtime with touch, also ctime gets changed. I ask because I'm about writing a little backup script and want to be sure to capture every file on any imaginable modification when comparing only ctime!

Okay, I'm not really an ATA expert nor do I know the code, but what I found is that it could be a LBA/CHS problem. Which version do you use? Have you tried to slice/lable the card inside the NSA 1045 (from a temporary FreeBSD holding HD)? If I'm right you dump a preformatted image onto the card, maybe you have addressing problems I gave up using images, PXE-booting (or installing a HD on machines which have the possibillity) and installing the base system right on the destination hardware turned out to be much safer and is not really more time consuming... Mayby playing with BIOS LBA/CHS settings gives some hint's, I don't expect that, but I'd try that and if that all fails you may want to contact Søren, the ATA author. -Harry > > > Am Freitag, 25.

Unfortunately not, but if you defined nullconsole I think no /boot.config is allowed. I'd suggest you try to set hints.sio.1.flags="0x10" and make sure hints.sio.0.flags doesn't exist. This should make the second (not DB-9 connected) serial ports of the 4801 systemconsole. Alternatively you can try setting boot_serial="sio1" in /boot/loader.conf, but I never tried that. Make sure in any case you also have "console=comconsole" in /boot/loader.conf since the soekris bios emulates a simple "VGA"-Console. You can also recompile the loader to tell it what sio (and at what speed) it should use. The following in /etc/make.conf does the trick: BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT= 0x2F8 BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED= 115200 For the loader to recompile goto /usr/src/sys/boot and do: make clean && make depend && make && make install Good luck, -Harry > > John > > > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" pgp1tArdDFaIj.pgp Description: PGP signature

Well, sendmail was designed to transport eMails.

Why FreeBSD 4.7? If you want to stay with 4 try out 4.11 (RC2). For newer Hardware and desktop systems I'd recommend 5.3. Anyhow, have a look in the handbook, there is too few information to help you, you have to read some basics.

Well, these aren't of big interest atm. I posted a question in -current regarding horrible ftp transfer rates (fwe and em transfer rates). He was the only one answering and regrettably confirming my experience. First, tell me why a 866MHz PII machine is full loaded for transfering 22MB/s (over em0 and ftp, disks can do more that 50MB/s, no switch, just direct connect, no packet loss/mutilation...)?

You're using a complete and standardized operating system, whose developers decided to have MTA functionality, realised by sendmail. You cannot uninstall it, nor do you have the choice to install it or not. It's like with all the other commands, name it tar or cpio. It's part of the operating system but you're not forced to use it. And since ports are standardized to be installed in /usr/local no program will interfere with the base system's version. You can go the source part and comnpile your world yourself, then you can decide what parts to install into a new root, but then you have to do the setup by hand, no installer. You can make your own OS based on FreeBSD though. See /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf for details > How to know what are all the packages are comes by > default in the base system? No packages are in the base system, it's the base system itself (like explained before) See the handbook for the operating systems features (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html, also have a look for the handbook in your native language) -Harry pgp8JeXmBCKCe.pgp Description: PGP signature

Just add the line "console=comconsole" in /boot/loader.conf and you have your 1st sio as console with 9600boud. If you need loader interactivity, instead create the file /boot.config with the two characters "-h" in the first line, then you don't need to set the console in loader.conf. If you want to have a different console speed see the sysctl "machdep.conspeed". You can set that via sysctl.conf. But if you also want a different port or serial control before login see the following options in /etc/make.conf: BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT= 0x2F8 # Use sio1 (com2) BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED= 115200 You have to rebuild your kernel and the loader. For the latter go to /usr/src/sys/boot/i386 and 'make clean' 'make depend' 'make install' If you want to login in multiuser mode edit /etc/ttys and make sure you have a line like that: ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" cons25 on secure > 2.

You have to tell the kernel to use the serial port as console. You can do so by adding the line "console=comconsole" to /boot/loader.conf or instruct the first stage loader to use serail console with the command 'echo -h > /boot.config' For serial port configuration you may also want to have a look at the sysctl machdep.conspeed and to the /etc/make.conf option BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT and BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED, both compile time variables. If you want to have a login on the serial line you also have to enable a getty in /etc/ttys.

I have an old 700 MB WD IDE drive that still works fine and has about 6 years 24/7 survived. And I also had a 2000$ 73G SCSI IBM drive that lasted for about 5 monthas and was that damadged that Convar sent it back without one byte recovered! And I don't want to remember the 80GB WD drive that lasted for 2 months.. Please, don't discuss about SCSI/ATA reliability, there are bad designed/produced drives and there are good ones. You can't tell before, only experience counts. I can say only good things about Seagates Barracuda 7200.8 drives for example. Some dozends are running for two years without _any_ single drive failed. Also the Samsung (p)ATA drives are still running without any single failure. And WDs once were perfect drices, but they also produced crap. So you can't even be sure by vendor! -Harry P.S.: I'm planning to bring up a FreeBSD site which reflects hardware compatibility experiences as well as long term experiences.

(bourne)shell variable names containing a variable?
Hello,
I try to assign a value to a variable, but the variable should consist of
another variable. Is this possible (in bourne shell)?
Example:
#!/bin/sh
list="one two three four"
for item in $list; do
${item}_present=yes
done
This doesn't work since the shell tries to execute "one_present=yes"
instead of assigning yes to one_present
What am I missing
Thanks a lot,
-Harry

So fdisk is misbehaving here. A hexdump of the first 512 Bytes validated that fdisk is wrong. Another question is why does sysinstall complain about wrong geometry? It claims the CHS values, but why? I heard that it's the fault of "other OSes" becaus they're writing wrong info onto the disk. But this disk has nothing but NULLs on it and sysinstall is presenting CHS values, also fdisk reads CHS Values "from in-core labels". Can anybody entlighten me what in-core labels are? Then there's another error in sysinstall but I'll post that on current (when creating two slices, the partition table ends up in having two active entries) Thanks, -Harry > > jerry > > > Thank you in advance, > > ___ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" pgpQlP37pstJk.pgp Description: PGP signature

If you can cope with a highly contrained (no USB, no IDE connector, no PCI-Slot, only one serial port) SBC have a look at http://www.pcengines.ch/wrap.htm These are the absolutely cheapest boards I know but compared to the soekris 4801 like mentioned very contraind regarding extension.

Ok, so share/examples/etc/make.conf is not evaluated like
etc/defautls/make.conf was before? That's the point I guess.
Thanks for your explanation, I've been building releases some years ago, so
usually I'm quiet familar with cvs.

IPv6 site local EUI-64 adresses and jails
Hi all, I'm quiet new to IPv6 so I'd like to ask some questions: So far I know how to generate s site-local address on basis of the MAC address of the interface. That's what FreeBSD does itself for INET6 enabled kernels. Now in the 24-16-24 scheme of th interface id part of the IPv6 address, the 16 bits were inserted with the value FFFE. And bit 57 was changed to one! Why What if it is alread one? Or isn't tehre any vendor who can have bit 41 of his MAC 1? Now I want to use a dedicated interface, which is in a different subnet, for 5 jails. How do I do that if I want to keep the MAC relation and if I'm not allewd to change the FFFE insert? It isn't possible then, is it? What should I do instead? Invent my own 64-bit scheme? I hope you understand my questions, thanks a lot in advance, -Harr pgpk2do0FKcxZ.pgp Description: PGP signature

Just for playing I disabled auto link-local address generation, then I found that "ifconfig fxp0 inet6 fec0::1 delete" worked after I added that one (without alias, which was my testing reason). Then I also deleted the eui64 address and wanted to reassign it. Another reason I tried to use the -eui64 option with ifconfig was because my fwe0 got no inet6 address! Either the man page of ifconfig is wrong or something else, I couldn't get a working syntax with option eui64.

Thanks a lot for your explanation! I have patches from Olivier Houchard for
testing which extends jails for IPv6 :)
He wrote it some time ago for RELENG_5 but wasn't sure if it is secure
enough to committ it.
I think more teseters are welcome, I have to solve some other IPv6
proplems first (like auto host config and DNS?), so I attach the patches
here, I can't imagine why Olivier wouldn't want that.

Dear inet6 guys, I don't know the kind of addresses FreeBSD uses for autoconfigured link-local addresses. For example: fe80::20e:cff:fe34:2bf8%em0 What the hack is %em0 ??? Interestingly I can use this address, but ping6 fe80::20e:cff:fe34:2bf8 doesn't work The Handbook doesn't clarify this mysterious address. Is it FreeBSD specific?
