Problems & Solutions installing FreeBSD8-Sparc64 on Sun Ultra 10

[BrightSparc64]

Hi,

Okay so for those who are interested, to get mouse support under the console
on a Sun Ultra 5/10 Workstation this is what I used:
moused -p /dev/cuau3 -t mousesystems

If that works for you edit your "/etc/rc.d/moused" file to make in work at boot-time.

Now for my problems...


My kerboard and mouse both work fine in text, (as shown above)
But I am having problems with them in Graphical.
I don't know how to get my keyboard and mouse to respond in X.
Anyone know how to config the X on Ultra 5/10 machines?

Secondly my XFCE4 desktop is giving me this error when I run
"startxfce4," "libint8.so" required shared file missing.
What do I need to install/ do to fix it?

Thanks in advance,
BS64

Oh, I almost forgot,

if you mouse still doesn't work check that moused (daemon)
is starting at boot-time, if it is not in the list,
then just add moused_enable="YES"
to your "/etc/rc.conf" file.

Thanks

Okay, so I think I have found my own solution,
but I haven't had the opportunity to test it,
it should work in theory.

Run:

cd /usr/ports/devel/gettext && make deinstall clean

Then run:

pkg_add -r libint

Lastly:

cd /usr/ports/devel/gettext && make install clean

This should work (in theory) for most of you,
now you should be able to "startxfce4."

Thanks,

Hi,

The problem that I am encountering is with connecting to my proxy server,
I've tried editing the /etc/make.conf file with:

FETCH_ENV = HTTP_PROXY=http://user:passwd@proxy.name:80

But my proxy server requires continuous authentication for all transactions,
unlike other proxies that just require the username&password once -then give
you carte-blanche.

How do I overcome this?
I need the proxy auth to invoke for every single transaction!

And also,

How do I set my system to use the proxy (system-wide) for all http, ftp, socks etc. ?
And preferably even at boot.

Thanks in advance,
BS64

new xorg use hald to find mouse , so remove

moused_enable="yes"

from rc.conf
and add

dbus_enable="yes"
hald_enable="yes"

and please check before reboot that hald install
&& make install clean

Bro,
The Hald and dBus do not auto-probe this particular mouse.
It is after all neither PS/2 nor USB, it is Sun-Kbd 4/5 mousebus system.

Shukran though.
