I have a laptop with an IvyBridge CPU and Intel HD 4000 Graphics. I previously tried installing FreeBSD 9.0 and was unable to get X working due to the lack of KMS support. Will FreeBSD 9.1 support KMS and Intel HD graphics?

Hello - I have a laptop which has Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics and nVidia 650M optimius. I understand the nvidia graphics won't work on FreeBSD, so I'm hoping to get the HD 4000 graphics working. Installing the xorg package, and running Xorg -configure Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro...

Hello - I'm struggling to get a dual boot setup going. I've installed Windows 7 on its own disk. Windows 7 boots via EFI. I then installed FreeBSD 9, also on its own disk. I created a GPT partition for this install. To handle the dual boot, I'm using grub2. The grub2 bootloader is...

Reporting back with some results. I set up an experiment to mimick the server I'm looking to build. The experiment setup was as follows: The server had 12GB of RAM, and 2 Intel Xeon processors running at 2.6GHz with 8 cores. Jails created on the server were made from the default...

Thought I'd report back with a solution which may be useful to others. The loader remains pretty much the same: case MOD_LOAD: my_dev = make_dev(&my_cdevsw, 0, UID_ROOT, GID_WHEEL, 0666, "foo"); my_mem = (vm_offset_t)malloc(PAGE_SIZE, M_MYMODULE, M_WAITOK); char_ptr =...

I'm experimenting with FreeBSD device drivers, and am attempting to share memory between kernel space and user space. Here's the overall flow I'm trying to accomplish: Driver is loaded. At load time, kernel memory is allocated and filled with the string "HELLO". At load time, a /dev/foo device...

Where can I find good documentation on kernel APIs? For example, documentation for functions like selwakeup, or uiomove?

Thanks for the link. It's good to see it's at least possible to host 1000 jails on a single system. I'm going to try and put together some test cases and see how a system performs under some load. I'll report back in a bit.

I'm looking to deploy a server capable of accepting arbitrary programs from many users (possibly thousands). These programs would vary in resource requirements. The typical program would likely wake up several times a second, perform some fairly light computation (approximately 5 microseconds...

I gave all your commands a go and still couldn't get it to work. As a sanity check, I took a look at the default ~/.cshrc that was created by FreeBSD when I set up the user and found the following line: # A righteous umask umask 22 Deleting that line made the proper umask show up. Sorry to...

I've also tried modifying /etc/login.conf to contain: private_users:\ :umask=027:\ :tc=default: Then using chpasswd to modify my user's login class to "private_users". I performed the necessary cap_mkdb on /etc/login.conf, and did a full reboot. After logging in, my umask...

I've run cap_mkdb on the file via: cap_mkdb ~/.login_conf Which resulted in a ~/.login_conf.db being created. The umask is still not being set correctly upon login.

I'm trying to change my user's default umask. To accomplish this, I've modified the .login_conf file in the user's home directory. The contents of .login_conf are: # $FreeBSD: release/9.0.0/share/skel/dot.login_conf 77995 2001-06-10 17:08:53Z ache $ # # see login.conf(5) # me:\...

I installed the net/wol port ( http://www.freshports.org/net/wol/ ), and am attempting to wake via the command: wol --port=7 --ip=<my_router_ip> <my_pc_MAC> On the router, I've set up port forwarding or port 7 to go to the PC. I've also setup the router DHCP to always assign the ip...

You should let these guys know: http://wakeonlan.me/ http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/ And, like I said, I can wake it up over the internet just fine so long as I send the packet within a couple minutes of it going to sleep.

Yes, I can wake it up using keyboard/power button. I can even wake it up by sending the wake-on lan magic packet from within the local network. I cannot wake it up from outside the local network (over the internet). Waking up over the internet only works if the computer has been asleep for...

I take some of that back, it appears gnome has nothing to do with it. If I put the PC to sleep using acpiconf -s3 and wait 20 minutes, I can no longer perform wake on lan. I'm attempting to wake it up from a PC outside my local network. Maybe my router isn't letting the packet through if the...

If I execute the command acpiconf -s3 the computer sleeps and wakes upon when the wake on lan magic packet is sent. However, if I use gnome-power-manager and set the computer to sleep after 2 hours, I'm unable to wake it up using the same process. I looked around in gconf-editor, under the...

Both your replies were very useful. Thanks for the help!

I've searched the forums and Google, but haven't been able to find a good tutorial on setting up a VNC server. I'm new to FreeBSD, so I apologize in advance if there's good documentation out there that I've missed. Here's what I'd like to do: upon startup, I'd like my FreeBSD server to start a...
