I seem to have this problem with my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T500) but only when I'm in a console. If I'm using xorg when I suspend it, then the screen properly turns back on on resume.

I thought NASA uses NetBSD?

Yeah, I was kind of suspecting that this was causing this problem, but I thought that it would work since I was able to kldload acpi_ibm.ko with my old THINKPAD kernel without any problems.

Well, I should have been more specific. I'm not using an USB mouse but the pointing stick and the trackpad on my laptop. I know that ums doesn't need to be enabled, because with an older kernel I had it disabled and was still able to use my trackpad.

Uh, look again. device psm is definitely in there.

I rebuilt my kernel today and commented out some more options I didn't think I needed, however by doing so I seem to have broken my mouse since I no longer have a /dev/psm0 device. I just compiled GENERIC to see if this is a regression but my mouse works fine with it. (I know, I know, I...

I rebuilt a few days ago when I saw that it was updated to BETA4, and I am tracking RELENG_8. Check /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh to see what version you currently have downloaded. If you are up to date, it should say BETA4.

In case you can't get 3.3 installed at all, you should install a recent version of FreeBSD (7.2-RELEASE will suffice), edit /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh to say 3.3-RELEASE, rebuild, and install. Then try to see if he notices any differences when uname shows that this computer is running...

If you want to avoid building firefox or anything like it, try installing exaile with make -DWITHOUT_GECKO install clean.

See this post. I don't know what license the first and third are under (the second looks like it's GPL), but they are part of the FreeBSD base system.

I just installed the newer webkit, and it worked fine without any other patches to ports. Unfortunately, it looks like the webkit port has been updated since the PR was filed, so you may have to do some manual patching to make everything work cleanly.

I regularly use portsnap to update my ports tree. After that, you can use pkg_version -Ivl "<" to see if any ports need updating.

I don't really see the GPL as anti-business or anti-capitalism because you can still provide services for the code (look at Red Hat for example). However, it certainly does not encourage business with its socialist-like terms. On the other hand, the BSD license is very pro-business and doesn't...

Yes I had to find a patch online (it's a PR) for an update to Webkit 1.1.7. Apparently we're waiting on the next Gnome release before it will be pushed to the ports tree. That I know of? Just me. :)

No, but I'm reading it now. I didn't realize that they keybindings could be configured. I guess I'll stay with it. (And its looks don't bother me.) Sorry, didn't mean this thread to go off-topic a little bit. :)

Or try this: instead of using KDE (which encourages all of its own GUI applications) install a tiling window manager such as dwm, wmii, awesome, xmonad, or scrotwm. Tiling window managers work great if all you are using are terminals, and because most of them discourage the use of the mouse...

I don't have either of those models, but on my T500 the Fn+brightness keys work fine (although I usually use xbacklight instead). Sound also works with the snd_hda driver, although I'm having some trouble getting the built-in speakers working. Headphones work fine. I'm also using 8.0-BETA3...

OK, thanks for the replies. I didn't realize that the handbook wasn't a part of src-all.

I went to look for the handbook in /usr/share/doc/ (on 8.0-BETA3) and the handbook directory is missing. If I remember correctly, when my other computer had 7.2-RELEASE on it the handbook directory was there. I also checked in /usr/src/share/doc/ and there is no handbook directory in there...

18 and about to start University.
