This made my night :)

Don't know if it matters, but try making an xorg.conf, run `X -configure`, and mess with that a bit. If nothing else you'll be able to add to it later, if you ever decide to enable compiz, etc.

Ah yes, like mysql does it.. That could work :)

What's needed to make a man page? How complicated is it? I've searched but only found a few (crappy) tutorials on this. Anyone care to shed some light?

Superbytes (by kerplunc) has a datacenter out there (and has cheap VPSs).. unfortunately no BSD, quite a few linux distros to choose from. I have two VPSs from them (one in the Canada D/C and one in the UK D/C), and they are very stable, and work very well.

:)

Yeah I've used it a few times, but don't really see the point of it. Maybe I'll try it again later on. It's a neat concept but seems a bit pointless for me. Maybe others can shed some light on .. why it's so great :P

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/permissions.html That should be a good start :)

I use vbox....when it works: http://forums.freebsd.org/showpost.php?p=37845&postcount=5 The only other one I tried was QEMU and it was extremely slow.

regarding my first issue I mentioned: .-(~)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(21:30:41)- `--> VirtualBox ^C...

I've been using a mix of irssi + screen, and xchat.. What is the IRC client of choice for the BSD community? Both of the ones I mentioned are released under GPL.... :\

That would be private browsing, not https://.....

Then they're saved in ~/.${shell}_history.

Ah nice, what are you majoring in?

Well... it's much faster than qemu, but a few issues I've had with it (xp as guest, freebsd as host), are: When I try to open it, I sometimes have to try a good 10-15 times, before the GUI will show... This happens on both my desktop and laptop. Another bug is that when I tried to reload vboxdrv...

Ah, bad me, not reading the docs again... xD Thanks, fixed my post :P

I have this same model, wondering a few things... I'm considering throwing fBSD on it, but before I do: 1) Despite the OP saying sleep/suspend doesn't work, can anyone shed some light on hacking it into working? 2) do the screen brightness keys work? 3) What about webcam? 4) External...

Just to throw in my two cents and elaborate a little, the reason (at least how I understand it from my Linux years), is that with GDM, etc, xorg runs as root, and so has the power to turn the machine off. If you run `startx` to run xorg as your user, it's the same as doing trying a `shutdown`...

The reason I can't do that is because it's a wireless keyboard and mouse combo, and only uses one usb port for the receiver, not one for keyboard and one for mouse... I guess it's kind of a lost cause for now, maybe worth submitting a PR and some driver hacker can look into it?

I maintain comms/rubygem-callsign, comms/callsign, and graphics/rubygem-imagesize.
