ASUS A7N8X's 3Com chip / Sil 3112
Hi, Will FreeBSD 5.2 (RC1, 2 or RELEASE) support the 3Com 3C90x based n/w controller (Broadcom PHY) present on the A7N8X Deluxe motherboard? Also, will there be a driver for the Sil 3112 SATA driver?

umodem driver with Nokia N80
Hi I am trying to get my nokia n80 working under freebsd (7-stable) with the umodem driver. Running udesc_dump from ports shows that this phone supports the Abstract Control Model in the Communication Device Class, but it only comes up as a ugen device even with the ucom and umodem devices loaded at startup. Enabling some debug info in sys/dev/usb/umodem.c indicates that the device matching code was failing when it was checking for some Call Management feature (UDESCSUB_CDC_CM) in umodem_get_caps(). udesc_dump does not list this descriptor either, although this phone is being detected as an ACM device under linux (Ubuntu 7.10 livecd), where it comes up as ttyACM0. Is there any way of getting this up and running in 7-stable? Any pointers on what changes might be required to the driver and any documentation would also be very helpful Regards Gautham PS - I was able to use this phone as a modem using bluetooth until a f/w upgrade (5.) introduced some bugs and made it stop working ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Turned out that I had changed some build flag for one of the ports on that gnuplot depended on, causing it to depend back on gnuplot. So when I built maxima, it would go to gnuplot and then just keep cycling through a whole lot of dependencies. I am not able to recall which port caused the problem, but if this is related to the problem you are facing and you haven't changed any build options, it should build properly.

ZFS on USB / Sound on alienware m11x
Hi I am trying out FreeBSD on ZFS using the PC-BSD 8.2 installer. I have it installed on a Western Digital USB HDD connected to an Alienware m11x laptop. It seems to work well except that once in a while, any application performing a write freezes for a few seconds (around 15 or so) and looking at top shows their states to be in zio. Is this because it was installed on a USB drive? I am trying to get sound working on the laptop. After starting snd_hda at boot, two devices are found and dmesg shows the following hdac0: mem 0xf100-0xf1003fff irq 17 at device 0.1 on pci1 hdac0: HDA Driver Revision: 20100226_0142 hdac0: [ITHREAD] hdac1: mem 0xf160-0xf1603fff irq 22 at device 27.0 on pci0 hdac1: HDA Driver Revision: 20100226_0142 hdac1: [ITHREAD] hdac0: HDA Codec #0: NVidia (Unknown) hdac0: HDA Codec #1: NVidia (Unknown) hdac0: HDA Codec #2: NVidia (Unknown) hdac0: HDA Codec #3: NVidia (Unknown) pcm0: at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0 pcm1: at cad 1 nid 1 on hdac0 pcm2: at cad 2 nid 1 on hdac0 pcm3: at cad 3 nid 1 on hdac0 hdac1: HDA Codec #0: Realtek ALC665 pcm4: at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac1 pcm5: at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac1 I think the NVIDIA device is for the HDMI output, while the Realtek codec is for the normal audio. Under /dev, I can see six devices dsp0.0,dsp1.1,dsp2.1,dsp3.1,dsp4.0 and dsp5.1. I tried playing an mp3 file using mpg123 and gave each of these devices using the -a option, but none of them worked. The output tab under the GNOME sound preferences shows the devices dsp0, dsp1, dsp2, dsp3, dsp4 and dsp5. None of them seem to work either. Any ideas on how to get the wound working?

nvidia drivers on ASUS A8X-Deluxe in 32-bit mode (5.2.1-RELEASE) / 5.3-RELEASE crash
Hello, Has anyone been able to get the nvidia display drivers (6113) to work on the ASUS A8V-Deluxe motherboard (K8T800-Pro chipset) in 32-bit mode (5.2.1-RELEASE)? I have tried nvidia's internal GART support as well as freebsd's, but the system hangs on starting X and requires a hard reset. I also found a couple of postings on the net with similar issues. Is this only for this chipset or are other amd64 chipsets affected also? Also, the keyboard does not seem to work on 5.3-RELEASE (i386 and amd64). the installation goes through fine, but when the system restarts, the keyboard does not respond, although it is powered up (LEDs work). How can I fix this? Regards Gautham ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

nVidia driver problem w/ FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE + mplayer
Hi, I have installed 5.2.1-RELEASE on my system (Athlon XP/nForce 2 Ultra/GeForce 3). Unfortunately, I am not able to use nVidia's fbsd drivers. I saw a few posts that mentioned it would work under fbsd-5 although it was written for 4. Any idea on what might be the problem? The initial bootup gives messages saying 'PCI bus mastering disabled' and 'Unable to access memory ...'. Loading this driver also prevents it from detecting other PCI devices such as my Netgear FA311 and 3Com (integrated, 3c509, i think) NICs. Is there any workaround for this? I have not specified a chipset as mentioned in http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?B06CC0370BBC0F4EA588FD6952A9392502293A Also, when I install the mplayer package as well as apache 1.3, it halts with the error code -1.

64-bit Windows XP NDIS drivers giving missing symbols
Hi I have an Alienware m11x with a Dell 1520 wireless minicard (Broadcom BCM4353 chipset). It comes with only Windows 7 drivers, but I was able to download Windows XP drivers seperately. However, after I generate the kernel module (I am using the 64-bit WinXP driver and freebsd amd64), I get errors when I try to load it. It says that the following symbols are missing ZwQueryInformationFile ZwCreateFile ZwReadFile IoUnregisterPlugPlayNotification ExFreePoolWithTag According to MSDN, these were introduced in Windows 2000. Is there any way of getting this driver running ?

It had two modules, which I put in loader.conf one at a time along with if_bwn.ko, but still no luck. The card I have has a Broadcom 4353 chipset. I think it is b/g/n.

Something to do with only user-mode virtualization?

Hi I remember seeing a post sometime back (either here or on nvnews) about someone getting a prebuilt linux-based CUDA application to work freebsd's linuxulator. Does this mean that the driver is ready, and just the toolchain has to be ported?
