Hi
I am looking for a supported graphics card that offers dual-head
1600x1200 with dvi, passively cooled if possible. 3D support
must be present, but it doesn't need to be the latest and fastest.
I came across the Matrox P650, but unlike models of G550 and
below, these seem not directly supported

Hello everyone,
For an unknown reason, my mouse lately has been hanging. It has hung with

Hello Mike,

I suppose you're using the ports openssl instead of the base system. Thus
your solution is definitely a good way as far as I can see, but I would
like to keep the base system openssl if possible.

Hi!
I have installed dansguardian on FBSD 5.4 from the ports but I have found
out that this port was not made for antivirus support - (need to patch the
source). The port is fresh since I have just done cvsup my ports tree.
Am I missing something?
